Mums the word – green spider that is. I love to see a motif that is consistently carried through a wedding that ties everything together. Sometimes it can go a little too far, but in this case, Eve chose a highly stylized chartreuse (swoon!) spider mum image that was on their invitations and programs. We also chose this fabulous green color as an accent linen for their napkins and chair ties inside the tent out on the lawn at the Cliffs Resort.
Eve’s bouquet was an exubrantly fragrant combination of cream English Garden Roses and Lily of the Valley – simply classic. The bridesmaids bouquets, though – we a wonderfully colorful combination of colorful blooms against their navy dresses – and it really popped – celebration in deed. I especially loved working with Ben and Eve on the design of the chouppa we created for them – thanks to Ben and his engineering back ground – it all works beautifully in the breeze that “assists” us on the bluffs overlooking the Pacific
It is always such a pleasure to work with Anna and her great crew down at the Cliffs Resort – from the bellmen to the servers – we always feel like we are a part of a team when we’re working there and we so appreciate that spirit
These fabulous images – provided by the oh so talented Chloe at Mike Larson Inc. – absolutely love to work with you Chloe!
What a great way to start the day and week! Style Me Pretty – the be all, end all wedding style blog, has just featured one of our all time favorite weddings on their blog this morning. “I am MADLY in love with the flowers from this affair. The bridesmaids and bridal bouquets are enough to send me clear over the edge. Designed by Corinne Smith of Panacea in San Luis Obispo, they are gorgeousness defined.” Be still my heart
Allyson at Allyson Magda Photography captures the atmosphere, details and emotions of the day in a way that people just can’t resist and the industry is taking notice. It is such a complete delight and honor to work with her – and it’s like early Christmas morning – to get that precious cd of images from her after the wedding – and in this case, it is the gift that keeps on giving!
Natalie and Carson are now my official poster couple and I am so crazy happy to report that they have both found great jobs, just bought a charming house and are settling in the SLO area. So great to have them in our community long term – I adore them and their beautiful dog Ella

I have known Jake for the past two years as a fabulous associate photographer of Mike Larson Inc. – one of my collaborating partners at Broad Street Event Group. Jake has also done some graphic design work for me, including a redesign of our logo and corp ID. It was an incredible honor to be asked to help Jake and his beautiful Necia with their flowers as they got married at the fabulous Dana Powers House. On our first meeting, I could tell – Necia was a creative force all on her own and she definitely had a vision.
My favorite element from their one of a kind wedding was the mossy oak branch treatment we did on the gazebo. To me, it looked like a swarm of garden fairies had constructed a gazebo in the middle of a wooded meadow. I loved the naturalness and “un-arranged” feel of it. Of course a few well placed blooms pulled it all together to fit in with all of the other well orchestrated visual elements that Necia had planned.
Jake and Necia shared my silly penchant for making up new words for different styles or combining two words to become one – my favorite one they came up with was “Frasian” for French with Asian influences – watch for it in the next edition of Websters.
Their wedding though, we decided would be “Anthropology Chic”. See more photos from this wedding at Mike Larson Inc. Photography’s awesome blog.
