Once in a Lifetime

It is my pleasure to share with you the beauty that came out of two of the most amazing people I know. Sara and Branden's Oct Wedding was an incredible experience for me. In 6 short months Sara and I (with a little of Branden's help) made her lifelong dream come true. After nearly 10 years of dating these two tied the knot in perfect Sara and Branden Style! Branden proposed a year ago on Halloween, and the couple sure knew exactly how they wanted to incorporate it into their wedding. With their Jack and Sally cake topper, (from the nightmare before Christmas) white pumpkins, and fun Halloween candy for their guests, each and every detail was perfect and precise to what they wanted.
Starting the night with grilled cheese with tomato soup, and ending it with sliders, their guests had a blast not to mention the goodnight cracker jack boxes in their guests cars as a surprise when they left!

The most perfect day

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Sara and Branden on their wedding day. What an amazing experience it has been, not only getting to know them every step of the way, but as well creating something so different, and elegant, and exactly them. They were married her in Malibu on the best day for their semi Halloween / Vintage / Gothic / Classic affair, and boy was it one great party!

I am awaiting for the photo's (holding my breath) Here is just a lil sneak peek:)

Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Olmes, All my love to you for the rest of your lives

Amazing centerpieces with a single glass

I always LOVE using the classic style Hurricane Vase for your main centerpiece of any occasion. It is so easy to make a beautiful centerpiece with any thing form around the house, garden, and the beach!

Cranberries, Fall leaves, Rose petals, Sand and shells, are just some of the items you can put around a thicker cylinder candle inside the vase. Looks so pretty with the candle light flickering through the glass.
So simple and cost effective to do!

Here are a few ideas I love

You can also add a mirrored base for more light, and smaller votive holders for little bud vases.

We LOVE Ian Andrew Photography
