Kelly and Paige immediately knew they had to use Alexandra’s designs in the wedding design. They had custom napkins made, and incorporated her fabric into bunting, bouquet and bout wraps, and tree decors.

It’s such a sweet neighborhoody kind of wedding, isn’t it?

Lovely work Bonnie, Paige, and Kelly! And Alexandra and Greg, thanks so much for letting us post your pretty day!

BUT Mel spent 6 months on her crafty wedding decor. Which is an excellent point to bring up… if you plan to do all sorts of things for your wedding, you can’t start the month before. You have to PLAN. And start way in advance. We digress.

Let’s just move on to the photos and you’ll see what we mean.

Yes, she made that headpiece. HELLO!

See what we mean??? The “Y” shaped tree!! The bunting and airy drapes! The vintage rugs! Tis almost too much to take in. (All made by the bride, of course).

Mel and her mom sprouted Oak saplings as guest favors.

And they made all the desserts two weeks before the wedding.

(Which reminds us, have you seen Rachel’s cookie spreadsheet she used for her sister’s wedding? It’s a good reference if you plan on doing this stuff yerself.)

Instead of speeches, they set up a stage and let guests do impromptu performances for the newlyweds.

Doesn’t that look like a fun (and incredibly cute) party? Thanks so much for letting us post your weddin’ Mel and Garret! You guys are in the running for craftiest wedding of the year.

Jinhee rocked it in Monique Lhullier and chose lush summery hues like orange, blue, pink, peach and just a hint of khaki for her color palette – flawlessly paired with the lush green landscaping of the Adamson House in Malibu. The oceanside historic Spanish mansion was an absolutely perfect choice – one look and you’ll agree, we swear!

Now -this-is a drink station! Guests sipped on strawberry mint lemonade and mariposa plantation iced tea served in cute little mason jars. Sidenote: it was also personalized with their invites – custom-made postcards welcoming them to Malibu. Adorbs!

This location is utterly fantastic!  Lanterns on tree stumps are such a cute and unique idea for seriously romantic ambiance.

Kristine Shin worked her magic on those incredible floral arrangements (even incorporating apricots and peaches! Ah!), which totally stole the show if you ask us.

And – we can’t get over this luscious-looking cake.  It is just about as perfect as it gets.

Gorgeous location, gorgeous photos, gorgeous couple.  Congrats you two!

Brookelyn Photography took some darling book-themed shots of the couple getting ready for the ceremony in the Library Hotel in midtown.

Amy made these pretty vintage parasols & custom-made fans for the guests. Such a gorgeous addition to the overall look.

Even the dreadful NYC summer swelter didn’t get in the way of some gorgeous photo-ops, which included hot dogs in the park, a subway ride, and Grand Central Station.

Congrats, Miguel & Amy – this wedding was nothing short of exquisite.
