Deny & Vivian’s Wedding Part 1

So I know you all remember my friend Deny and his proposal. The big day had arrived and Lisa and I were recruited to be decorating slaves. Deny’s wedding was intended to be simple and budget-friendly but still carrying over their personalities and also the elements of their invite and engagement. Check out some of the fun elements of the big day!


Setting up the room with some big, big blue balloons. Each balloon was a centerpiece and had a photo tied to it of numbers they spelled out with some light–the same way Deny proposed to Vivian! The awesome bird house money box was created specifically for the wedding by Deny’s best man and local artist, Erik Otto. Check out his shop for more on the series.

Erik also painted the adorable cake toppers for the wedding. See that little black box with a red tongue? That is Deny’s beloved pug, Rocky. Looks like him, eh? Rocky always has his tongue out.


They also had this awesome photo booth set up by Deny’s friend. My past experience with photo booths that people set up on their own have generally been less than spectacular. But let me tell you, this phootbooth that his friend built and programmed was amazing. There’s even a softbox in there aimed right at you (hence the great lighting in the photos). I will probably blog a post just on this photobooth!

More to come!

A Wedding in a Class of its Own

I somehow stumbled up on Amber and Jeff’s wedding site through a random link on Wedding Bee. This wedding happened in 2008 and maybe I’m behind on seeing this particular wedding, but it’s so cute that I’ll just post about it anyway. You’ll see based on their profile how the theme came into play.

“My husband and I met as mechanical engineering students back in university, so it goes without saying that we are quite the science geeks (I was actually in the Math Club during high school, where we stayed after school to write math tests – for fun!).”

Prepare yourselves…

Their save the dates. I love the pencils!!


A matching wedding website. Don’t you love when people take consistency seriously?

Utterly Smitten

A friend of mine who’s sister I used to know back in college shared recently that his sister’s wedding was featured on Utterly Engaged. Completely smitten by the whole wedding itself, I just had to share with you all. It’s full of great DIY and the story behind it is how Angelique, the bride, would go on these bargain hunts for clearance-priced items for the wedding and how all those little details came together for one gorgeous DIY wedding. Photography by Jenny Smith of Alders Photography. Venue: Tiber Canyon Ranch in San Luis Opispo.
