….our besties, Alisha & Greg…
Inspired by Tamra at walks with Bella, I too wanted to post some photos from a dear friend’s wedding. This is the same friend that I’ve mentioned many times on this blog (that shower, that nursery), and I wanted to mention her again because she has been a HUGE support for me the past few years. You know that girlfriend that you can vent to, shop with, toast to, travel with, rely on? That’s Alisha for me…and how stoked are we that she married my husband’s best friend?
Their wedding has actually been published and blogged about before, but I’ve never blogged about it. It’s about time because there really isn’t anything much prettier than peonies and the Parker Palm Springs. What a combo.
[ THE PREP ]
We went all the way to New York to get her that Vera Wang stunner.
(And yes, that’s me helping her get dressed!)
[ THE GIRLS & GUYS ]
Girls: looking pretty. Guys: acting silly.
Life is good.
[ THE CEREMONY ]
Her bouquet…speechless.
[ COCKTAIL HOUR ]
Of course we missed this, but here are some of the details, including those hobnail vases her mom collected from various vintage shops, that we reused for the baby shower.
[ RECEPTION ]
I had a lot of fun with the stationery designs – can you tell?
We made the stir sticks ourselves with a big circle punch!
[ THE NEWLYWEDS ]
Leaving you with happy thoughts for the weekend!
Lovely. I love the sparkle in her dress, the milkglass on the tables, and the gorgeous final picture of them. So sweet and pretty. xoxo
Too funny, I had weddings on the brain today too!
First of all, its absolutely gorgeous… as are the two of you. Second, love the work that you did with the stationary! I can totally tell where you got the inspiration :)

What a gorgeous wedding! I love “first look” wedding photos. I saw my hubby before the ceremony too, and those picstures are my favorite!
Thanks so much for the love! The wedding wouldn’t have been half as lovely as it was if it weren’t for your talent. My wedding stationery was gorgeous – thank you, thank you, thank you! It’s no surprise though, as everything you touch exudes style and perfection. Big hugs my fabulous friend. xoxo
Beautiful! All around love the colors and your stationary is a true representation of the event. Geometric and floral- what a great combo.
That DRESS! So gorgeous. All of it. Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend Erika!

Love seeing this! Need so many similar items for the rest of my paper suite from Wardrobe! Hopefully this post will light the fire to get me working on those details today. Also must take a trip to the Parker next time I visit my parents in Palm Desert, even if just for a photo shoot :)
Aw, I love that very last picture!
Wow, her dress is stunning! And I love your work on the stationary//paper pieces! So so lovely :)
I absolutely love the colors and the patterns chosen throughout all the little decor details. What a gorgeous wedding party, too! That last pic is absolutely stunning. Cheers to the happy couple!
Thanks for sharing these beautiful photos! The wedding is absolutely gorgeous- the bride, the dress, all of the decor, stationary, and the list goes on. My husband and I stayed at the Parker last weekend so it was a nice surprise to bring us back. Have a great weekend Erika!
Just discovered you via The Zhush… a little late in the game, but non the less :)
Beautiful wedding! Thank you for sharing… I look forward to reading more of your posts :)
Stunning! Lots of creative details to savor…..
I’m in awe!! What a joyful bride and wedding party. Her smile is contagious! I love all the details to the old family photos hanging by clothes pins, the men’s socks, flowers, gorgeous bridesmaids, floral design down the aisle, and the stationary!! The color scheme and design complimented the modern chic wedding perfectly. Thanks for sharing this wedding! Incredibly beautifully designed wedding and it is obvious that thought went into every detail.

Oh and I didn’t mention that dress, but Vera Vera Vera!!! Her dresses make brides glow. :)
There is so much gorgeous going on here! That’s my dream wedding venue.
OMG that wedding looks amazing. Love the pink and orange color scheme, the flower pattern down the aisle, the candy balls holding placecards, and especially the stationery! So beautiful down to every detail!
