Let's end this week appropriately, shall we? Since I'm heading to what I can only imagine will be a fantastic wedding reception on Saturday, I'm in a celebrating mood, which can only mean one thing - time to highlight some fabulous event decor! This one falls right into the theme of the week - perfectly pretty+preppy with a whole lot of color punch!
A seaside affair in the Hamptons, this wedding was designed by Amorology and might be one of my most favorite ever with their choice of navy and aqua palette, tons of beautiful details, and tabletops to die for!
When even the pillows match the theme, you know you've done something right. I adore this bouquet of garden roses, chocolate orchids and a few simple sprays that lend a casual elegance to the bunch.
This might be my most favorite boutonniere ever! It's like a teeny bouquet in itself. The simplicity of the groomsmen's pieces combined well with their graphic ties... which definitely tied into the theme of the event! And the loafers... too perfect. The girls looked perfectly chic in all navy topped by their little cardis that mimicked the lines of the bride's own dress.
For me, though it's the tabletops that steal the show! I love the way they combined the navy + white stripe with the solid aqua, that stunning orchid planted seashell, and the super sweet wicker basket vases. The casual arrangements are perfectly in tune with the seaside location too.
Whether you're planning a wedding or not, this setting is so summer inspired, I'm already planning the next Table for Two feature in my head around this color scheme! If only I had a beach to host it on!

A (UNUSUALLY) FINE ROMANCE
Is there any day better than your wedding day? Of course! The day after...


Captured by the rockstar duo behind Unusually Fine Photography - Max and Margaret - I'm completely loving this 'day after' session of a recent wedding they photographed in Anguilla... such a genius idea! After all, it's the first day you wake up as husband and wife... that post-nuptial glow without the stress of your big day? Perfect!


And if these photos aren't proof enough of their talents, just check out the adorable and awesome videos of them on their blog (seriously... you won't regret it)!
As for this sweet couple... I just can't get enough of her yellow dress ... and doesn't his smile just remind you of John Krasinski? Adorable!!


Awww, sweet sweet love. And hammocks on the beach. Doesn't get much better than that!

ELEGANT + ENCHANTED
I am so head-over-heels for this beautiful bride and her stunning headpiece...
The sweet simplicity of the whole wedding is just lovely (see more right here). I adore the touches of glamour amongst the natural setting... total perfection.

FROM THE C+K PORTFOLIO: WEDDING DETAILS
Those of you who have been hanging around coco+kelley for a while now may remember these wedding board inspirations I created for a client last year, and the sample centerpieces. Well, I've finally got a few detail shots from the reception last October and it's about time I shared them with you!
My favorite part about the design was that everything was very simple, budget friendly, and crafted with love - from the cute aqua pon pons, to chalkboard signage and the layered centerpieces...
But, my very favorite details were on the mantle where we used pieces from the couple's small ceremony in Maui to celebrate their marriage at the Seattle reception - including the adorable cake-toppers and framed invitations. Loads of candlelight and paperie completed the space, and the room was completely transformed! Hopefully I'll have more to share with you soon!

Wedded Bliss: Sasha+Matt
The second I saw the pop of color in this wedding I fell in love with it...
Sasha's perfect blue sash, the huge flower to perfectly match her bridesmaids? All of it is just perfect for a Kauai wedding.
The addition of a softer golden yellow and tangerine help keep the palette soft.. I love the shot of the happy couple in the hammock with her bouquet!
Of course, parasols come in handy in the tropical heat, and how cute are the little ones as they watch the ceremony under the shade?

The tabletops were very simplistic, which I also love - keeping things light and fresh, with just a bit of texture in the runner to add a bit of interest. Ok, I'm ready for a beach vacation now... anyone else??

Wedded Bliss: Nora + Tyler
I met Nora in college, and when we graduated we both went into event planning, and she opened her own wedding coordination company, Bridal Bliss, in Portland. We've been swapping tips, stories and resources ever since! So, when Nora and her now-husband Tyler got married last month, we all knew it was going to be the wedding of the year... and we were right.
On top of being one of the best wedding coordinators in Portland, Nora's mother owns a bridal boutique and happens to be a genius when it comes to dresses and details. So, of course the ladies were very well taken care of when it came to attire!

The girl's dresses are Kathlin Argiro, but the brooches were found on a buying trip to New York, and Nora decided to add them to the back of each bridesmaid's dress and on the ring pillow. She also added a little extra embellishment to her own dress, as you can see! It was simply stunning.
The little details were perfectly executed making the whole wedding so personal...
Their signature "S" showed up everywhere, but subtly (well, except for the big one that welcomed you to the amazing reception area!).

A dessert bar offered candies and cookies in shades of reds and pinks. The little card reads "Scoop yourself a bag of candy and kisses. Courtesy of the new Mister and Missus." How stinkin' cute is that!?
Getting this family (well, whole crowd for that matter) to stop dancing is a hopeless cause. Nora even incorporated some traditional Iraqi dancers as entertainment for all the guests! This moment came just after the couple made their entrance and everyone piled on the dance floor before the salad had even been served!
The tabletops were bursting with deep pink peonies and orchids... the whole evening was just incredibly elegant and luxe with such her chosen colors of raspberry and chocolate creating a warm palette that glowed in the candlelight and dimly lit room.

Even the menus got a little bling on the 'S' logo!
A huge congrats to the happy couple!! This photo is one of my favorites becuse, despite the horrible downpour after the ceremony, they dashed to their getaway car with smiles on their faces and made the best of their 'just married' moment. You two are amazing, and I wish you all the best!!

Weddings Are Rad
Well... at least this one is.
Because any bride willing to let the groomsmen roll in on their skateboards just for the occasion has to be rad, right?
And any bride who can get away with that dress had me jealous at hello. There's no way my 5'2" frame could pull this one off, as much as I'd love to! And how simple fabulous is the bouquet?
Topped off by some sexy Louboutins (naturally) in the desert.

Not to mention succulents and a poolside reception complete with cabana striped tent. So California chic.
And a perfect wedded bliss kiss on the beach - vintage garden chairs an extra bonus.

Amongst The Vines...
Last year, I was going through wedding photography sites and stopped dead in my tracks when I saw this photo on Michael Norwood's blog site...
I've always dreamt of a small casual wedding amongst the vines, with sunlight filtering through... just. like. this. Her dress is understated and elegant with beautiful detailing along the bottom. His suit? Adorable. The bouquet, complete perfection.
And then, I did the stupidest thing ever. I forgot to bookmark it. There went my perfect wedding inspiration, never to be found again, until...
Out of the blue, I received an email from the florist who did the wedding - Summer at Grey Likes Weddings - responding to the comment I left asking about the arrangements! I think I might have been happier than the happy couple!
To make things even better, when I popped over to her blog, I discovered even more photos from the wedding, and died all over again when I found out...
Her bridesmaids wore GREEN! I mean, seriously, I couldn't imagine anything better.
Ok, except for maybe the little flower girl in her green shoes. Fantastic!
