Wedding WEEKEND!! Euro Cirque Style

It all started with a sweet surprise internet exchange...down the rabbit hole was the way I fell into this upcoming European cirque wedding that I've been so fortunate to be a part of.  Tonight is the rehearsal.  It alone, will be so beautiful. The setting and theatricals for this wedding are like a fully loaded french pastry shelf of my favorite movie sets... Lemony Snicket, Chocolat, Bright Star, and Harry Potter.

Last spring when my table scape was featured on Coco + Kelley, I received the loveliest comment from Carissa of JLDesigns of Orange County, CA.  I followed her link to her web-site and was jaw-dropped to my knees by her gorgeous work!  Since then I've been a huge follower. and. fan. of THE Carissa.  That was over a year and a half ago that we first exchanged complements thru the internet.  Since then we've had months of excited e-mails back and forth in anticipation for her sister-in-law's wedding {the darling Erin, of the super cute blog... erinpotpie}.  This wedding will be on her family's wooded property just along the James River.  It is heavenly-beautiful. 

On another note: I seriously don't even know where to begin on telling you how much work and detail Erin has put into her wedding.  To top it off, the father of the bride has blown me away with his creative genius.  The whole family, I tell you!   I'm not a big twitterer...so if you'd like to see some snapshots of the amazing props for this wedding, you can facebook friend me and see some updates of behind the scenes.  {sharon taylordesigns} 

Okay to getcha a little more up to speed, here are their beautiful engagement photos that they flew out to Orange County for.  Husband and wife photography team, Gabriel Ryan and Carlie Davis captured a series of Erin and Brent's story. {shoot stylized by Carissa too!}

Much, much more to come, but for now...Enjoy!

Thanks all! And love me not rain!!
