I blogged quite awhile ago about one of my favorite fonts ever, Burgues Script, and how lovely it is for Weddings. Well, I recently acquired a new font by the same designer that would be uber-lovely to use for celebrations as well, especially for those vintage-inspired fetes! This time around, it’s Feel Script!

We were whisked away from the chapel in my Dad’s most excellent and award winning hot rod (complete with matching purple car magnets that my mom magically found) to the reception which was a short 5-minute drive away.

The bridal party was off to the cocktail reception… the guests had all departed… and now it was just the two of us (and Papa Lemon waiting in the getaway car) and we got enjoy a bit of calm between the storms. This time, we opted to take some photos inside one of the main hacienda’s buildings, which happens to be the Admissions Office of…

While I realize how photojournalistic style is in vogue, one of the things that really intrigued us about our photographer was her ability to pose a picture. I’d read enough horror stories about brides who got 997 photos from their photog without one single picture of her and her family together, or with grandma, etc., to know that I wanted some posed shots just for…

I love flowers, but when it came to the exact flowers I wanted for the wedding, I was clueless. I knew I wanted whites, creams and blues. Oh… and they needed to be naturally arranged as opposed to being symmetric and modern. And pretty…. really really pretty. Thank goodness my florist (Kim England) read through my wants and used her creativity to deliver exactly what I had…

We kept things pretty simple when it came to our ceremony and the details around it. In fact, we didn’t even decorate the chapel at all! But somehow all the little details still managed to show up in a really beautiful way.

Mr. Lemon didn’t want to have any “getting ready” photos taken, so he asked that the boys meet him in the garden behind the chapel a little after 3 o’clock. Everyone was there on-time and by their own accord, so the guys had a little bit of “pow-wow” time away from the bustle of guests arriving before things got started in the church.

Once the last dabs of lipgloss were applied, we were out the door and headed down the hill from my Aunt’s house to the chapel. While my mom tried desperately to find a way to use a local trolley as a transportation vehicle, the arrangements just never worked out in managing to transport the guys and gals in a fluid manner. Instead, the girls all…

After having our makeup done, we headed to my Aunt Kathi’s house to get dressed and ready for the big event. Her beautiful house is just around the corner from the chapel, and she graciously let us use her newly decorated bedroom for all of our staging. While I knew it had just been redone, you must believe that I had no idea how perfectly…

Mr. Lemon’s family and friends came from across the country to celebrate with us, but unfortunately, most of them had to catch early flights back east on Sunday morning. So instead of a day-after brunch, his family decided to host a “morning-of” brunch at the house they rented for the week. His dad bought a few too many…

After getting our hair curled, tucked, flattened and pinned, we headed to DMC (aka. THE MALL) to finish up our makeover time. I had set aside 6 appointments at the MAC counter at Macy’s three months earlier, which happens to have its own section of the store (not just a counter) with full natural lighting and lots of space for the…

My wedding day started out with a nice drive by myself to Carmel for a 9am hair appointment at the O Salon. I had scattered out the appointments so that the girls arrived dressed in their rose tank tops a bit later at 10 (enough time for them to wind down from the rehearsal the night before and get their coffee drinking on), and my…
