Greetings sweet readers,
This sweet engagement session was sent over to us by the uber talented Ryan Lockhart. Griffith Park Observatory is the coolest backdrop for these Shannon and Nick’s engagement. Get ready to swoon my friends.

Greetings sweet readers,
This past week I spent a few days in the garden with Hubby tilling up the raised bed in preparation for planting our garden that we always over plant, we really must get a bigger yard! If you are picturing a straw hat, long sleeve plaid shirt, boots and wranglers…. then you would be right on the money, yes I am THAT gardener. I guess it’s a little bit of my inner yogi or hippy or mother earth coming out but I love the garden. So when I saw this eco-pretty wedding by Merdeka Studios I fell in love, and added it to my list of wedding do-overs!
Jon and Charlott’s carbon footprint was kept to a minimum by adorning the tables with “found” items from nature hikes that the couple took together. Items like prickly pear skeletons, dried agave blossoms, saguaro were incorporated with the use of vintage mercury, and glass cloches. But for me my favorite has to be the engraved river rock favors, wrapped in recycled corrugated cardboard. What a great way for a guest to remember them every time they are in their own garden.
Ok this is a really great idea (read it made me tear up) Charlotte’s bouquet contained a mesquite tree sapling. A wedding tree if you will, that the couple will plant in their backyard to enjoy and grow with them.
Thanks for the sweetest eco-pretty we have ever seen!
xoxo

Ok and can I just say I LOVE her lace dress… I am so pinning that one!
