Cedarwood Weddings designed a gold reception that was feminine, glamorous and influenced by pink champagne. Gotta love that! They paired rose and gold lame runners with classic ivory linens, gold glittered chargers, and favor boxes atop blush hemstitch napkins. Some of our favorite flowers ranunculus, peonies and English garden roses provided the pink tones while gold dangle garlands softened the setting with a modern vibe.
Emily Dionne Events & Nuptials coordinated this shoot photographed by IYQ Photography that was inspired by the creams, petal pink, kelly green, gold and robin’s egg blue in the china you’ll see in a sec. The colors, glassware, and florals are perfect for a spring wedding. The tablescape, simple enough for any bride to recreate reflected a soft, pretty first-blush-of-spring feeling, with gold tipped champagne flutes and antique gold flatware, gold-rimmed, and personalized menu cards.
The bride’s specialty drink, a rose petal martini, was served in antique, gold-rimmed champagne coupes for the cocktail hour, while the groom offered whiskey neat from an antique crystal decanter with a cheeky gold-rimmed “hooch” sign.
We’ve been fans of Jessica Hische‘s work since her days at Louise Fili, where she turned lettering into an entirely sexy art form, giving alphabets textures, colorful illustrations, and new shape. Remember her Daily Drop Cap series? Then in 2009, she released her famous Buttermilk font, which we all know made quite the explosion in the wedding invitation world. We could go on. Point is, we love this cute, lettering, self-proclaimed crazy cat lady and her Facebook Product Designer husband. When we caught word of her engagement and laid eyes on their ridiculously amazing wedding website, that tells the epic tale of how Jessica and Russ met, dated and became engaged, we knew this was the wedding we’d been dying to share!
Now for their happily ever after – that they got to celebrate twice. First in San Francisco for their Bay Area friends, told through the photography of Ben Blood and design of Sugar & Fluff, the second, a New York celebration that you’ll see in a bit.
This totally counts as their ‘first look’. Obvs, this picture was instagrammed.
We know, we’re a little tardy to sharing The Cream NYC party pics. If you didn’t get a chance to attend, join us in our little sad face boat. This was the first event we couldn’t make and feel pretty crummy about it. But, but, but… at least we still get to see the explosion of pretty that happened, yes? NYC + gold disco balls, giant gold balloons, gorgeous tablescapes, drinks, dance partaying, confetti. Obviously it was going to be rad. These photos by Les Loups, Our Labor of Love, and Rebecca Hansen say it all.

Bailey and Emma, of Antiquaria Vintage Registry, pride themselves in being dish hoarders in the prettiest possible way. They hoard some of the best dish patterns, pyrex, and mid century pieces around (that you can add to your registry, wink wink), and they’re amazing at pairing them up with little bits & pieces you can find lying around the house or at your city’s flea market. A few months back they shared this pastel spring tabletop and this vibrant spring tabletop. Today, it’s all about getting ready for summertime and the 4th of July!
