Friends we’re going to speak candidly for this post. We can’t play cool and coy over this news, we’re far too excited: WE MADE MARTHA STEWART’S BEST WEDDING PLANNER + DESIGNER LIST!!!!!!!!!!

Read MoreWe're happy to share with you one of our Los Angeles team's weddings from March in Ojai. The modern minimalist design is bright with happy pops of yellow and orange on a neutral palette which brought the sun to a surprisingly rainy day in Ojai. The rain may have poured, but the amazing crew of vendors pulled out all the stops to put emergency rain plans into action to give Jessie and John a beautiful wedding day…
Read MoreA number of us LA vendors decided to blow off some post wedding season steam by throwing the most fun party of the year: the annual DART Collective ‘Party Down’ holiday shindig. The theme was wild and challenged us to unearth the most fun and conceptual elements of the late 80’s and early 90’s aesthetic, and present them in a way that was nostalgically rad and yet not entirely dated…

This year, Jesse and Michael from Dart Collective really upped the ante with their idea for a “Cosmic Folk” themed party inspired by their latest ensemble, the Jensen Singers. After a lot of creative soul searching about how “Cosmic Folk” translates into decor and signage…
Read MoreHappy Wedding Wednesday folks! We've got a sweet Seattle wedding from last summer to share with you. Less is more for this Fremont Foundry roof top celebration, where summer light, local architecture and modern minimalism set the backdrop for Jess and Seth's happy union. Shalom Imaginative flew in from Los Angeles…
Read MoreAfter meeting with our dear clients Rebecca and Garrett, we realized that fusion of past and present was the epicenter of design for Becca and Garrett’s special day. A childhood spent on rural farmland with an appreciation for nature, the organic and the beauty in the Pacific Northwest took center stage as our angle for paying homage to the past…
