saipua

CARRIE: Even though we're in the dead of winter, I can't keep myself from thinking of flowers and these white and muted arrangements from Saipua seem fitting for winter.

special post: Carrie's Bridal Luncheon

MORGAN: I'm interrupting our regularly scheduled events to share some (long-overdue) photos from Carrie's Bridal Luncheon! We had great weather (which is always a gamble for August in Kansas City), great food and lots of fun!!

{ left: favors for the guests were homemade strawberry-lime soft jams, right: the lovely hostess who also happens to by my mom, Barbara, serving up some tasty lunch}

{ yummm: curried chicken salad wraps, corn pudding & thai cucumber pickle salad }

{ bride-to-be, Carrie, smack in the middle of friends and family }

{ dessert: fresh strawberries served on orange-zested shortcakes with fresh whipped cream }

(All photos taken by Stephanie Revell, a great friend and co-worker of my mother's, who just happens to be an amazing photographer -- lucky us!)

vintage wedding

MORGAN: There is something about this fabulous photo shoot for Brides Northern California magazine that reminded me of Carrie's photo from yesterday. I don't know if it's the flea market textures or the palette full of bright colors that seem to have been faded by the sun....but, whatever it is, i have nothing but love for it! I found these awesome photos from the talented photographer Lisa Lefkowitz and styled by the equally incredible Gloria Wong via the always-amazing style me pretty blog!
