I am a shopping machine. If it’s pink, sparkly, extremely short, or otherwise inappropriate and located in Los Angeles, I’ve bought it. It’s a little fun. A little hellish. And a lot exhausting.
But oh well. Who cares right? Let’s look at pretty pictures okay? You know, those pictures. The (lowers voice) detail shots. Yup. The kind I ranted, raved, and ridiculed.
It’s funny, because in the end it was all true.
The detail shots are definitely not the most important pictures, but your wedding day DOES go by far too quickly, and it IS fun to look back and see what your rings were up to while you were getting pretty!
You’ve already seen our smug mugs, but how about a closer look at some of our bridal accessories?
Not really a bridal accessory, but very very true!
The rings that started this whole crazy wedding adventure!
Our “other” rings. You know, the super official wedding ones…
Two brides = loads of jewelry!
Our wedding gifts to each other: W Stripes’ Ganesha & my feather.
Um. Hangs head in shame. Remember ohsolongago I wrote a little post about the most perfect wedding earrings ever?? Well, Emily, the incredibly gracious designer behind Larkspur & Hawk, made me a pair of earrings. Custom, tailored-to-our-budget, drop-dead gorgeous earrings!! I got to marry W Stripes AND wear these earrings you guys! I’m the luckiest girl in the world. And I owe Emily a whole post of gratitude. Seriously.
Shoes. And veils. And flowers. Oh my!
More shoes. With hearts. Sigh.
Yup. Another pair of shoes. Aren’t two-bride weddings the best?!
Our ever watchful (shoe) guardian.
Satisfied that all was in order with W Stripes shoes…
Oh! Were you wondering where W Stripes’ bracelet went?
Yeah, me too. Glad to know it’s just hamming it up with my gorgeous little niece and her yellow balloon.
Do you have a love/hate relationship with “the details” too? Did your opinion change after your wedding? Do you just feel like you’re lost in our jewelry box?
Catch up here:

Love the quote about a bird with a french fry. Love the details pictures too, but that quote is the best.
Your adorable cat seriously kills me. Guardian of the shoes! Love it so so much.
I guess I have to fess up to being a total whore for the detail shots. These are my favorite recap posts for some twisty reason and I can’t wait to post my very own.
I love all of the details - and your niece is GORGEOUS! 
Those earrings are amazingggg! Love!
And your cat - oh so very pretty.
I’m a sucker for details, and I LOVE your earrings!!
Loving the “bird with a french fry” quote; made me smile with glee. And those custom earrings totally rock!!
Your niece is so darling. I love that she borrowed the bracelet! I think detail shots are important- your wedding is a labor of love, so why not capture as much of it as you can?
The shoes! The earrings! LOVE! Your details are awesome
Love everything! So pretty! Where did you find the tree jewelry box? That’s amazing!
YAY for your beautiful earrings! I love detail shots/posts, and yours are so, so lovely. Two brides FTW.
Simply perfect. I also love that wooden ring box. Two-bride weddings rock!
Love all of your details. Cant wait to see more photos…. these are incredible!
Great details! Yes two bride weddings are definitely the best…

Ms. Stripes, Los Angeles Age and Occupation: 29, Costume Designer/Stylist Fiancee's Age and Occupation: 29, Chef Engagement Date: June 23, 2009 Wedding Date: September 2010 Venue: Heritage Square Museum About Me: I’m a type A creative with a messy streak, a loud mouth, and an uncanny knack for combining clashing patterns. I can usually be found with my nose in a book, my feet (or at least my toes) on the ground, my head in the clouds, and my arm around the prettiest girl you ever saw- aka Fiancee Stripes. Together we’re planning a FUN vintage/modern French carnival wedding extravaganza and rockin’ dance party on a dime. (Say that three times fast!) Good coffee, long lists, Uniball pens, and my iPhone keep me sane, and making art, making trouble, and making out keep me happy! I love urban adventures, bike rides that end with afternoon drinks, breakfast for dinner, beautiful light, photography, travel, my furry family, and of course, my beautiful fiancee! I’m super excited to be here and can’t wait to share all our adventures as we craft a joyful, budget-friendly, design-savvy and all-around AWESOME wedding!
