Soirée

Some photos I’ve been gathering together of the party, taken by our incredible photographer friends Lili and James. It was such a beautiful night!
My month of preparations is over from making all these tiny paper cranes, driftwood birds, painted flags and tablecloths, silkscreened napkins, making my dress, designing invitations and custom wine labels (with a little borrowed background illustration from here that I loved too much not to use), and hanging lanterns, lights, ribbons and streamers..
More photos from James here and here.

I think my heart just exploded! The 3rd picture is definitely my favorite, the garden party atmosphere is exactly what I feel summer should be like. A magical fairytale with garden party lights
Everything looks beautiful

I would love nothing more than to be at this glorious party!! so sweet!
September 1st, 2009 at 7:21 pm
Good Lord. What a beautiful job you did. I love the streamers in combination with the other elements. Also the color scheme. The lightness. The colored bottles. And the flags! So wonderful, my goodness.
October 2nd, 2009 at 7:30 am
Heaven above! How beautiful! How thought about! The wild bunches and bouquets fresh from a garden, the flags and the paper moons – how romantic and fresh and gorgeous. Those paper cranes must have taken forever, but how worth while. Congratualtions!
October 15th, 2009 at 11:57 am
such incredible decorations! I’m going to save all these photos for 10 or how many ever years until I have such a party.
