I remember coming across this wedding when I was in the midst of planning my own wedding. It was featured in the 2008 San Diego edition of Ceremony Magazine. Talk about wedding inspiration!!!

The bride and groom met while living across the street from each other when they were sophmores at Cal Poly. The groom proposed by carving “will you marry me” into the pier where they had carved their initials years earlier (awwww-too cute). They were married at the beautiful Hotel Del Coronado.

Floral design was by Adorations, which is one of my most favorite florists of all time! Rustic summer & fall colors were used throughout to create this beautiful event. Everything Lavonne does truly is botanical artistry! I am in awe every time I come across a wedding done by Adorations.

The bride wore an antique ivory, silk taffeta, mermaid style Ines Di Santo gown. Her BEAUTIFUL jewelry is by Regina B. Bridesmaid dresses are by Jenny Yoo.

And last, but most certainly not least…all photos are by another one of my favorites…LunaPhoto. Paula and Mike Luna are AMAZING wedding photographers based in San Diego. Their work has been featured on numerous wedding websites and magazines. To see more details from this wedding, check out the LunaPhoto Blog. You will not be disappointed.

If you are still deciding on a color scheme or theme, check out these beautiful arrangements from Sharla Flock Designs. And how CUTE is the western theme??? Sharla Flock Designs is based in San Francisco, but you may recognize her work from being featured in Marth Stewart Weddings magazine. Thanks to Hello!Lucky for sharing this amazing Floral Designer with us!

You can never go wrong with a white wedding! I am in love with the white wildflower look shown in these beautiful photos from the knot gallery! Imagine an outdoor venue with little white lights, gold accents and white flowers of all types in different sized vases = GORGEOUS!

I absolutely love this bouquet! Imagine the possibilities with your flower arrangements. Add a few burgundy calla lillies and you have the most beautiful fall bouquet. Feathers are also making their way into modern brides arrangements and this is a perfect example of how elegant they can look. These are pompon dahlias with deconstructed protea petals and feathers. This would run you about $180 at The Designer’s Co-op in NYC, but I am sure you can find a florist locally who can make you a modified version for less. For more flower ideas, check out www.thedesignersco-op.com. Yay for flowers!
