Real Wedding by Oh How Charming!

It's official. I have a new all-time favorite wedding. Typically, when Lisa Vorce at Oh How Charming! sends me pictures from her latest wedding, I know that they are going to be great. I know that the detail is going to be flawless, that the overall style and design is going to make me jealous in that "oh-if-only-my-wedding-was-that-pretty" kind of way. But when I got THIS wedding, I actually started clapping and screeching so loud that my husband came out of his office to see if everything was okay. This wedding is perfection. From the oh-so-smart color palette to the splashes of contemporary charm, everything about it is gorgeous.

As usual, Lisa Vorce (the creative force behind this amazing wedding) has been sweet enough to share all of the perfect little details with us...

Gillian and Tim wanted a chocolate brown and white wedding. My original design inspiration started with a simple chocolate brown & white honeycomb pattern. I added the chartreuse green element to give everything a little pop of color. I asked Mindy at Cotton Idea Studio to create simple boxed invites. We used chocolate brown box mailers from Paper Source and Mindy created a very crisp white letterpress invitation with the honeycomb pattern letterpressed in chocolate brown. Everything was tied together with a chartreuse grosgrain ribbon.

The honeycomb motif was subtly carried throughout the wedding via several decor elements. Mindy incorporated the honeycomb pattern on the menus, table numbers, and hanging escort cards, and Amy at Vanilla Bake Shop did a brilliant job of incorporating the pattern into Gillian and Tim's cake. And...my favorite honeycomb touch...the patterned flip flops I found at Old Navy. They were absolutely perfect and provided the ladies with a much needed break from their high heels.
