June 9, 2011

Today we have a wedding from Tyler Branch that is going to leave your heart happy. It’s full of family heirlooms, pretty colors, and a fantabulous guest book!

To complete the look they wanted in the courtyard while saving a few bucks, Julie placed vintage fabrics inside embroidery hoops and hung them from the trees!

Wanting to incorporate as many family heirlooms as she could, Julie and her mother created these one-of-a-kind table numbers made from buttons that had been collected from all over the world by Julie’s late great aunt. Also worked into each table arrangement was the addition of her great aunts’ delicate lace collections. We hope there were no spills at these tables!

Julie’s grandmother has always recorded her life’s milestones with a painting, so there was no doubt that she was going to preserve Julie’s wedding with a personalized painting. She painted a large tree standing on the Newport Beach coast with their initials. Guests came up filling each leaf with their signature – sweet idea for a guest book!
