event gallery: mike & brynn's wedding!

brynn & mike are perfect for each other. like eerily so. they are the talented duo that make up d'avello photography.
[check out their work! it's fabulous!]

brynn & i went to high school together, so i was utterly delighted to have the chance to coordinate and carry out plans for their beautiful wedding last july.

if i had one word to describe the occasion, and them for that matter, it would be: FUN. the wedding had a fancy carnival theme and was laden with personal touches and endless handmade details. pennants, sewn by brynn. hand-painted signs, designed by mike. funnel cakes, cotton candy, margarita machine, IN N OUT, and candy. lots of candy.

it was summery, fun and oh-so-playfully sophisticated.
enjoy!

...happy sophisticating...

love that color palate!

probably the cutest seating assignments i've ever seen.

colored pencils and activity boxes for the kids table. such a brilliant touch!

we constructed these centerpieces from brynn & mike's handmade table numbers, brynn's pennants, pinwheels and the flowers. the result was so whimsical and fun! note the "old maid" cards on the tables for guests.

the head table.

each seat contained a customized wedding "cracker" with the guests name on it, as their place card.

the guest book, with colored pencils for guests! this is the bride's son, writing a special note to the happy couple :)

note the custom-made cake toppers--designed to look exactly like the bride and groom. down to the wardrobe!

gorgeous!
