Sweet Summer Love

I am going to be sharing this e-session in further detail on the Recollection blog, but I thought I would post it here as well because I just love it! Recollection was fortunate to work with the most delightful couple and the amazing Laurie Perez! I just love how these pictures capture the most perfect summer rendezvous! I hope you enjoy them :-)

Up, Up, and Away: A Carter and Cook Wedding

Aaah! This darling, whimsical wedding just makes me smile! Mix a super cute and creative couple, with California's amazing event company Carter and Cook, throw in the best floral designers and photographers, and you have the most remarkable celebration! Oh, and did I mention it has the cutest theme ever: Up, up and away!

The Bridesmaids all wore Anthropologie dresses and carried heart-shaped balloons down the aisle in lieu of bouquets. So clever!
This is such a darling shot!The couple had a candy buffet along with a sweets buffet with Red Velvet cupcakes and colorful hot air balloon cookies
The groom handmade an adoarble hot air balloon pinata which hung from one of the many fabric pendants that adorned the venue.

Peaches N' Cream

This peaches & cream birthday party that Jessica Levitt designed for her daughter's fifth birthday party is so jam packed with fresh colors and yummy details that I had to share it! I also think many of these adorable details could totally work for an outdoor, farm inspired wedding. Farm baskets with peach patterned fabric liners were used for guests to pick fresh peaches. Pre-filled baskets of peaches would be the sweetest wedding favor!!
These days, when pratically any space can be transformed into an instant perfect wedding venue, a farm could be just the ticket for a spring wedding. Alstede Farm served as the backdrop for this event.Fabric punting is always a sweet decor choice! And of course a delicious spread goodies, tasty to the eye and tummy!
