Minted Save-the-Dates | Let your personalities shine.

January 15, 2019

Sponsored with love by Minted

Wedding invitations and save-the-dates are one of my favorite parts of the wedding planning process. Receiving one in the mail and opening it for the first time always puts a smile on my face — they’re a true symbol of love and a reminder of that love and commitment which will be shared on your wedding day, through the entire process.

Your save-the-date will hang on the refrigerators of your guests for months on end and will be your first opportunity to set the tone for your wedding day.

So you know what I think? Your wedding-save-the dates should let your personalities truly shine through the colors, the fonts, the styles and the photos. Every single detail is special and every single detail should be “totally you.”

Choose a style that sets the tone for your wedding day — modern, classic, formal, minimalist, rustic, botanical, vintage, boho, bold, offbeat or nautical
Choose colors you love — bold, tranquil or romantic (or even add some gorgeous gold, silver or rose gold foil)
Choose fonts that speak to you — dainty or light or bold or incredibly unique
Choose a photo that’s totally you — a photo that speaks love and truth and depicts who you are as a couple.

A Santa Barbara Mountains Engagement

January 14, 2019

“Jessica and Austin are incredibly kind and wildly funny. Their friendship is the forefront of their relationship and that's so apparent from the first moment you meet them. When Jessica and I first started planning her Santa Barbara Mountains engagement session, we chatted about what her vision was and I knew right away that this would be the perfect setting. Their style choices perfectly complimented the dreamy colors of the location and it all came together to create the most dreamy, natural engagement photos.”

A Rustic Chic Chandler Oaks Barn Wedding

“Carly and Arthur were a breath of fresh air, especially for an event planner who does over 40 weddings a year. They understood that they could get everything they wanted by keeping their guest count intimate and also still have a phenomenal party with their closest family and friend! Carly was so kind and her mother Lynn accompanied her throughout the entire process and was such a blessing! It was truly a wedding to remember.”

This rustic, vintage Chandler Oaks Barn wedding is full of the most gorgeous wedding decor ideas that you’ll want to steal for yourself!
