Get to know our team...Whitney

We are so excited to have Whitney join our team! She just started interning with us last week and already she is proving herself invaluable. This girl has serious style for miles...just look at her dreamy inspiration board! Who wouldn't want to dive right into this French inspired fête?

Here is a little bit about the board straight from Whit...

"My personal style is very romantic and girly, with whimsical and elegant, timeless touches. I wanted my inspiration board to reflect all aspects of my personal style, and what time period can reflect that better than French Rococo? I love the dusty plum, blue and rose color combination that adds a soft freshness to this dramatic and glamorous French style. And what girly-girl doesn't love pearls, diamonds, bows, lace and feather detailing?"

Where do you find inspiration?

I find my inspiration everywhere! From historical time periods, architecture and art to nature, magazines and blogs! My favorite wedding blogs for inspiration are Style Me Pretty and Snippet & Ink.

What do you love most about weddings/parties?

I love all of the details that get put into weddings that are unique to each bride and groom's personal style. I love seeing the different elements used to create something truly special and memorable to them.

What is your favorite memory from your own wedding?

I loved the dancing at our wedding. We had a great DJ that got everyone on the dance floor and got the party going! The dance with my Dad was also really special to me...

What are your guilty pleasures?

There are too many to count...but cupcakes, gossip magazines and gallons of diet coke would be just a few.

What fall treat are you looking forward to?

I can't wait to pull out all of my boots and tights, eat some pumpkin flavored foods and enjoy some cool, crisp fall days. Fall is definitely my favorite time of year.

Meet our newest addition...

Remember this adorable couple and their sweet engagements we posted a little while back? Well, we are beyond excited that 1/2 of that couple, the gorgeous Carly, is the newest Amorology intern! How lucky are we, that not only do we get to plan the wedding for this beyond creative gal, but also to have her in the office thinking up all sorts of awesome ideas for us!?

Here is the inspiration board that Carly made for us... We fell in love with how charming and beautiful it is. It really is a perfect board showing inspirational elements from every component of a wedding. Especially love the romantic and whimsical colors she chose; a blend of creams, butter yellows, peachy pinks, garden greens, and refreshing aquas. We are so excited to have Carly as a part of the Amorology team-she rocked her first day!

Jetting off: Napa

We can barely contain our excitement! Tomorrow we are headed off for a weekend in Napa for Danette + Doug's big day!!! They are getting married at the breath takingly beautiful Beaulieu Gardens! Here is a sneak peek at the inspiration behind the big day... there will be touches of glamour, gorgeous peonies, a color palette of coral pink with pops of cheery yellow and elegant accents in greige. Ooh and tons of macaroons! Should be nothing short of fabulous- especially since shooting the wedding is the fabulous Tec Petaja!

James + Alex Save The Day

Who said you can't have a good time while you're working!? We sure did this past Saturday at James + Alex's super hero inspired wedding. Honestly any wedding at the New Children's Museum would be a blast, but being a part of James + Alex's big day was incomparable! With the inclusion of a breakaway brick wall, a light saber fight, a cereal bar, and freeze dance; how could this not go down as one of the funnest weddings ever?

Here's the inspiration board we created for the couple and a little peek in to the awesomeness that was James + Alex's wedding!

Oh yes, there were lots of cupcakes (hostess inspired ones, cupcakes topped with cookies, cupcakes drowning in sprinkles...you name they had it!) The brides' bouquet had brightly colored ric-rac intertwined around the flowers, floral arrangements were wrapped with poppy yellow and white chevron fabric, colored pencils were used instead of pens for guests to leave well wishes to the couple, and there was an abundance of super hero love throughout the decor. Jagger Photography was there to capture the night's festivities, so we can't wait to share with you this wild wedding!

So inspiring: Jami + Eric

Just had our site walk through with Jami + Eric at the San Diego Botanic Gardens last week and it got us super excited for their Spring wedding!! Plus it was the first time we got to meet Eric, who we instantly loved!! How can you not love a guy who's into bird watching and gardening?

We used the gorgeous venue & Eric's passions for our inspiration, while incorporating an awesome color palette thought up by Jami! This board shows what we are envisioning for their big day; binoculars for bird watching, seeds for spreading love, and lots of lush flowers to set the mood....

Merrily Merrily Merrily...Brittany & Scott's inspiration

We never get tired of a nautical inspired wedding- there are just so many different combinations and elements to play with when working with this concept! Brittany was really excited to offer her ideas and together we created a playful, yet romantic sailing theme. We decided on a color palette of rustic brown, dreamy ocean blue, with pops of orange and coral. Incorporating anchors, lanterns and of course a sail or two! Can't wait to see everything come together on their New Year's Eve nuptials!

Inspiration board: Glass Green & Gold

I'm currently decorating my bedroom & have been in a green state of mind while doing so. This inspiration board is the result of letting my mind wander & gathering anything & everything green... I'm especially in love with wild, botanical greens paired with metallics & glass. Liberty flowers & damask greens make for great prints, not to mention cute little dresses! Greens have been popping up in weddings for a while, but I hope to see more brave brides go green all the way.
