Real Wedding Saturday: Alison & Eric
With the help of the talented Heather Balliet at Amorology and Robin from Twigg Botanicals - along with some creative friends - Alison and Eric threw an absolutely delightful wedding. Sara France captured the day and all of the details perfectly, while 300 guests danced the night away at San Diego's Inn at Rancho Santa Fe at this March wedding. Let's get on to the photos!
The vintage Bentley that transported the bride and groom was rented from Simple Elegant Limo.
Alison's necklace was purchased from Nordstrom from a limited collection.
Alison's vintage-inspired dress was custom-made by her cousin.
Alison's shoes are by Linea Paolo from Nordstrom.
The flowers were done by Robin of Twigg Botanicals (Amorology's sister company).
Everyone called the bridesmaids bird-maids all night - the love bird theme really ran throughout the entire wedding! Their dresses were purchased from Stop Staring! and customized with gold buttons from As Cute As a Button.
Alison enlisted her friend, Chris Crosby, a freelance designer, to design the invitations.
The escort cards were also packets of birdseed, with a little note that said, Save these to toss at the Love Birds as they fly away.
A little nest filled with chocolate eggs was placed at each seat.
The gold birdcage centerpieces held purple floral balls and were surrounded with flowers in deep purple, pink, mustard. Twigs and manzanita branches hung over the birdcages and held nests with little birds, as well as the table numbers.
Fabric bird cake toppers by Pincushion Princess.
The real vintage photobooth was rented from Photoworks Interactive.
The entire bridal party, about 30 people, did a choreographed dance!
Music was performed by New Standard Jazz.
Alison's parents convinced a local farmer to loan his live lovebirds for the wedding! They greeted the guests when they arrived at the reception and picked up their escort cards.
Congratulations Alison and Eric! Thank you so much to both of you, to Heather of Amorology and to Sara France for sharing this incredible wedding! I also wanted to add this adorable detail that Alison shared with me: in keeping with the theme of the wedding, Eric built a giant nest from branches in their backyard for them to sit in for their engagement photos!

I love that this wedding was featured even though it was LDS and there are no photos from the ceremony. Such amazing attention to detail!

It was so hard for me to decide which I loved most about this wedding from the bridesmaids' dresses to the flowers to the invites! Then, I saw it - the choreographed dance with the entire bridal party. LOVE IT!!!
Alison...you don't need to get over it yet. Eddie and I have been married for 2 years now and I still am obsessed with our wedding. I showed our wedding video just last night at this little presentation thing I did...And I was thrilled cuz I got a good amount of sniffles for it!
