Zuhair Murad

Normally my taste run toward simple, elegant, and very Audrey Hepburnish, but there is something about Zuhair Murad that just grabs me.  He is not afraid to go for it, and he has quite a few wedding dresses that are just fantastic.  The unfortunate thing is; to see his dresses you need to get a plane ticket, as his boutiques are only in Paris and Beirut, but isn't everyone up for a trip to Paris?  Here are some of his latest collection, but check out his 2010 wedding dresses too, they are stunning!

Real Wedding: Jennifer and Cody

Last weekend I told you about this fall wedding, and now I have some pictures from the event.  This wedding was a big one, about 400 people, and yet strangely it was the easiest wedding of the whole summer.  The weather was a perfect 80 degrees and all the trees were changing colors.  The bride and groom,  Jen and Cody, were so great to work with, and I know I say this every time, but they are the nicest people ever!!  








The wedding took place at a local house here in the valley and this property seems like it was built for weddings.  The ceremony behind the house over looked this big valley of aspen trees that were just starting to turn colors.  It was simply beautiful, and it helps that the bridesmaids were all stunning in their sage green dresses.










The rest of the evening took place on the other side of the house under a tent, but in the middle of a mini apple orchard!  Dinner was fantastic and this group of people know how to party.  They danced all night to a talented DJ, who knew just the perfect songs for this diverse group of people.









 
Jen and Cody, I hope you are having a great honeymoon, and thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of your big day and for getting to meet your family.  And Jen a big huge thanks for trusting me to the decor I thought would be best for the property and this time of year.  Fall flowers are my favorite and I got my fair share of them on this wedding!
