the kennedys: weddings, weddings, weddings...

We are the official wedding goers. Jared and I have been to SO MANY weddings in the past year.

I suppose we should take it as a compliment. People must love us a lot to invite us to share in their special day!

All of these weddings have been AWESOME and unique in their own way. I of course LOVE all the decor. I have come away with so many great ideas - all of which I will implement someday.

I would love to start a little celebration (weddings, birthdays, parties, baby showers etc.) design business on the side.

In fact, I may get that started sooner than later.

2 weeks ago we went to a wedding in Livermore, CA. Our friends Josh (Jared's friend of over 23 years - side note: can I just say how jealous I am that my husband has so many friends that he has known for over 20 years) and Jen got married. The wedding decor was so creative. This wedding will be in Martha Stewart Weddings, for real. The MS crew was there photographing the whole thing. Josh and Jen are two happy-go-lucky people. They are so refreshing to be around. As always we had an amazing time socializing, dancing, eating (good food) etc. Congrats!!!

Loved the pinatas filled with TONS of confetti and scratchers

Jared giving it a swing!

Loved the guest book/sign in table. It was an old desk, with stamps and pens to create your own page...love it.

The tables had individual menus printed on an envelope. Inside the envelope was your silverware and a salt/spices bag (white little bag in the pic above)

This past weekend was my co-worker, turned good friend, Ashley's wedding. Ashley has worked with me at WL for over a year and a half. She is my go-to girl for so many things. Ashley is contagious, seriously. She is so fun to be around, is down to earth and is a great Interior Designer. Can you tell that I love her? We always bounce design ideas off each other and of course we talk about lives and men (both our guys are Geminis).

Ashley and Andrew got married in Torrance, CA. They had a wonderful ceremony, I got misty eyed when she walked in. She looked amazing! After the ceremony, the festivities began at The Cheesecake Factory (she has worked there for 10 years and still does) in Redondo Beach. They had the whole top floor over looking the marina. It was gorgeous and reminded me of my marina reception. They had a photo booth for guests to take advantage of - see our pics below. Ashley and Andrew are such a cute couple and I'm so glad she wanted us there to share in their special day. CONGRATS MRS. AUSLAND!!!!
