The ladies at The Lab Event in Sonoma challenged hive members to come up with inspiration boards that would be worthy of bringing to real life. We received dozens of amazing submissions, and you voted on the board you wanted to see come to life the most.
You voted Miss Fox’s “Rustic Chic” board as your favorite and a dream team of amazing Northern California wedding vendors brought Miss Fox’s inspiration board to life!
It was amazing to see it in person…here are the results from The Lab Event’s awesome team of photographers including Meg Perotti (our own Mrs. Spaniel’s photographer!), Tinywater Photography, Edyta Photography, Silvana di Franco, and Jen Skog.
The tablescape was lush and rustic, featuring fun and bright pinks, reds, and orange hues…

The carefully placed “bee” details were NOT lost on us. We were smitten!
And the flowers…oh, the sweet, rustic flowers…
Coordinating whimsical stationery accompanied the tablescape:
The place cards were hand watercolored in pinky-peach ombre:
Two lovely banners flanked the dessert and favor display:
Dozens of sweet treats were just as delicious as they were gorgeous!
Fun “Take Me Away” boxes made it easy for guests to identify what to grab at the night’s end to take home!
We’re also excited to share live footage from The Lab Event…check out The Lab’s Highlight Film, brought to us by LoveSpun Films!
For a refresher, here’s the winning inspiration board by Miss Fox that started it all…
