{sigh} ... if only we lived in l.a.

i know everyone's probably already seen photos from amber & brian's spectacular wedding at the viceroy in palm springs but i just recently saw the actual planning involved in the wedding with lots of little details and explanations. this wedding has, by far, been the most significant inspiration i've found. it feels lavish and simple at the same time. it's exactly what i want my wedding to capture. modern elements mixed with traditional details. here's some photos that i found very inspiring:


the hair inspiration. i absolutely adore it. it even reminds me a smidgen of a tame marie antoinette do. these photos are so coming with me to my stylist.

louboutins. exquisite.

and below, i love these rings. love the eternity band. and the guy's ring seems to hit just the right note between simple and blingy with the alternating white and black diamonds. modern with a little embellishment. totally stunning.


the most lovely gifts for the moms i've ever seen.
the one on the left says: 'thank you for raising your son to be the man of my dreams' (doesn't that make you tear up??) and the one on the right: 'to dry your tears (as?) you have always dried mine'
how beautiful are these????

and i couldn't resist a few shots of the viceroy. this venue blows me away everytime i see it:

aaaand ... (i could go on and on!) .... here's a few details from the wedding that i'm head over heels in love with:

the 'something old' -- a childhood photo of the groom

i want to do this but also add a childhood photo of my dad in a two-sided locket.

peonies. i think this was the bouquet i used in some of my old inspiration boards.

i hope my bouquet looks this stunning.

so classic. so timeless -- the brooch is from haute bride in san fran.

oh, definitely visit the site if you're prepared to swoon over the delicious collections they offer. here's two that made me gasp:

the only bummer is that you can't order online and prices aren't listed. but it's still great inspiration. :o)
