Ready for more of this gorgeous wedding at The Biltmore Four Seasons Resort in Santa Barbara!? We are so excited to bring you all the details of Michelle & Alex’s wedding day! This fabulous design we envisioned was with the scenic backdrop of The Biltmore Santa Barbara. We accented the Spanish flair, quintessential of Santa Barbara vibe, with bright and fresh summery colors of pink, magenta (with an oceany splash of turquoise). With warm brown rustic candlesticks mixed in with antique stone accents, the mismatch gave our vision unique character and visual interest! Thanks Tauran for sharing these amazing images with us and for capturing the florals by My Floral Bliss that absolutely conveyed our design vision!

Our bride Michelle was absolutely stunning!

Are you as madly in love with the bouquet as we are? Thanks to My Floral Bliss for such amazing work!!!

With a gorgeous view of the Pacific ocean, these tiered altar pieces were brilliant in the sunshine! Bright and fresh, but still fitting perfectly within the Santa Barbara setting.

As we will always say, your wedding invitation is the marketing piece of your wedding…
check out this invitation suite by Darla Marie Designs and tell us it isn’t so true!

Guests found their tables with the help of these adorable small wine bottles; tags courtesy of Darla Marie Designs, of course! Love this rustic display with straw and wine boxes!

Don’t you just love these little blue table numbers? They are perfect with the colors, and pop right off the table!

We are in love with these custom cut menu cards by Darla Marie Designs!

Absolutely stunning florals atop the stone mantle… framed with lovely pink uplights by Honored Occasions.

Quite possibly (it’s so tough to choose!) our favorite “motif” in this wedding… the lounge area provided by Classic Party Rentals – Designer 8. Accented with incredible uplighting by Honored Occasions… we are giddy with how gorg this whole area looks!

Insanely beautiful florals… goooo My Floral Bliss!!

No great event is ever over without an indulgence in desserts… The Biltmore certainly made sure that everyone’s sweet tooth was satisfied with this amazing dessert display! Adorable matching food tags by Darla Marie Designs too!

The pure love and joy between Michelle & Alex is just so beautiful! Congrats to these love birds!! We wish you a lifetime filled with happiness, love and laughter!

We could not have had such a flawless and beautiful event without the amazing work of these vendors!

Check out this fun DIY for some easy and contemporary looking ornaments! The perfect touch to your already well-executed Holiday decorations. Get creative with the color combinations to make it something unique and perfect for your home! We love this since it’s so much like some of the decor from Natalie’s 30th Bday Bash!! (Did you check out the yarn balls?) Here’s another way to do something similar!

From Likainen Parketti (a bi-lingual blog in English and Scandinavian): this tutorial was found on the old blog… but definitely head over to the new blog for amazing design inspiration!

{Click here to continue on to the rest of the tutorial to finish off your beautiful yarn balls!}

We might give these a try from some upcoming event decor! Let us know what you think!

We are gearing up for some holiday parties coming up next week! Food, drinks, guests and decor are always the big details of any party… but what are some games to play or activities to host during? Here are a few ideas! We hope that you’ll play one (or a few) with your friends and family this year!

Ugly Sweater Contest – self explanatory and always a fun one to see who will come out with the most absurd of sweaters! We’ve seen light up ones, ones with multiple bells attached, one with a plush elf hanging on… Show us what you got!

Steal-A-Gift or Beg/Borrow/Steal – a fun gift exchange game!
from World of Christmas: In this gift exchange game, guests are allowed to steal one another’s presents. Make your guests draw numbers out of a bowl to determine the order of gift selection. Then make everyone sit in a circle and let the person who drew the number “1″ begin the game by selecting a gift from the pile and unwrapping it. The second player can then choose to either steal the first player’s gift or select an unwrapped gift from the pile. Each remaining player can either steal a previous player’s gift or select an unwrapped one. Once everyone has had a turn, the first player can decide to keep her gift or steal another player’s gift.

Another variation on that gift exchange game is the White Elephant (also know as Dirty Santa) Gift Exchange where gifts are usually humorous gag gifts.

Here’s one for the kids – Musical Gift! Have a group of kids sit in a circle, have them pass a pre-wrapped gift (wrapped in MANY MANY layers of wrapping paper) around the circle as a Christmas carol plays. When you stop the music, the child holding the gift unwraps one layer of wrapping paper! Then start up the music again to continue the game. Start and stop the music like in Musical Chairs until the last wrapping paper layer is ripped off and the gift is revealed! Prepare enough wrapped gifts for each child.

Let’s not forget a Cookie Exchange! Have your guests bring a batch of their favorite cookies (and extra for eating)… supply containers for you and your guests to combine a delicious variety of everyone’s contributions to be packaged as gifts to give to others (or just keep for yourself). Also, be sure to ask guests to bring copies of their recipes to share! Check out these cute holiday packaging ideas from Sparkle Daisy!

Cheers to a happy and warm and festive Holiday season!
