Over the weekend, my friend Lydia invited me to head out to Palm Springs with her for a really cool bridal showcase featuring some of the freshest, “funnest”, and most creative minds in the wedding industry. Hitched took place at the Ace Hotel and there was seriously some really awesome ideas and inspiration for a truly fun & unique wedding! Check out some pictures from the Hitched event.

The super fun & glittery Ban.do booth!








Fun bow ties from Launderette





There was even a synchronized swimming performance by the Aqualillies!








The night ended with The Flashdance DJ spinning some awesome tunes and a pretty epic dance off!

Esther and Kristine did an amazing job putting together this stylish and healthy dessert/snack table for a children’s party! As a mom, Esther is always conscious of what her son eats, so she wanted to design a healthier alternative to the ever popular dessert stations & candy bars. Together with Kristine, the two came up with this fun & stylish fruit & veggie table spread that not only looks good, but is good for you!
I love the beautiful arrangements Kristine made using purple cabbage, artichokes, and brussel sprouts….so creative! And both the parents & children loved all the desserts & snacks. I was barely done photographing the food before kids starting swiping all the pumpkin latte shots and yogurt parfaits!
If you’re interested in creating your own fruit & veggie table, Esther will be sharing some tips on her blog this week.
