Farm Fresh Wedding Styled Shoot

Styled shoots are like playing dress up for weddings. So when Sarah McKenzie Photography and Recollection Vintage Rentals asked us to collaborate on this Farm Fresh Styled Shoot, how could a girl say no? With the three of our creative minds combined, we created a wedding style filled with fresh and organic details that made you feel right at home. Chicken + eggs were our main inspiration and we worked our way from there, incorporating it through invitations, decor, escort cards and more. From the darling family that lives on the Yonder Way Farm to the exceptional floral by Something Special in Flowers, and that dress -I could live in that dress by BHLDN, there is nothing I don't love about this styled shoot! Especially the team of vendors we got to work with -everyone involved was so talented in their craft and made this shoot such a work of art. To see our ideas being brought to life was more than words can express, but I have to say these photos surely do it justice.

And to top it off, the beauty below was featured on Style Me Pretty this morning! View the feature here, and the entire gallery here. Enjoy!

Country Casual Engagement Party

Happy Thursday! Today we're bringing you this charming, country casual engagement party for our clients, Meredith and Eric.

The couple met last year on Memorial weekend so it was only fitting that their engagment party was held the same weekend, as will their wedding next Memorial weekend 2013 in Napa Valley.

The party was centered around their love timeline: celebrating their past, present and future. We were inspired by a country staple, the mason jar, and incorporated it in the invitations, centerpieces, favors and guestbook. (Check out the oversized mason jar guestbook below!) The decor was casual and simple, but just enough to set it apart from your typical Memorial Day BBQ.

We hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

Have a Merry Two Be Wed Christmas

'Tis the season for holiday parties and we have just the party for you! A very merry Two Be Wed Christmas party! Last week we hosted our first annual Two Be Wed Christmas party as a chance to celebrate the holiday season and spread Christmas cheer with our favorite clients, vendors, family and friends! What a delightful evening it was! The ladies of Two Be Wed served their favorite desserts paired with a hot cocoa bar and some naughty Sangria. And it's not a party without cheesy Christmas games and ornament decorating! We sent our guests home with their own handmade ornaments signed by yours truly! With a little help from our friends from Recollection Vintage Rentals, the studio was transformed into a cozy, intimate gathering for our guests with their collection of vintage Christmas decor. Our favorite is the pink glittered reindeer! We hope our guests had as much fun as we did and if you couldn't make it, there's always next year!

The TBW Experience: Sadia Cooper

One of the best parts about our job is not only do we get to make wedding dreams come true, but we get the opportunity to meet so many wonderful women in the process! Our former client, Sadia Cooper, had a beautiful and modern Indian Fusion wedding that took months to perfect but in the end, we had a happy client and a new friend! See what she had to say about her Two Be Wed experience!

"Words cannot even begin to describe how AMAZING Natalie and Ashley with Two Be Wed were during my entire wedding process. My goal was to have a glamorous South Asian fusion wedding with all the important pieces of an American wedding as well as a Bengali wedding all rolled into one unforgettable night – they definitely helped me achieve that! During the planning stages, Natalie and Ashley were there to keep me going towards my vision and always had the best advice anytime I needed it. They were prompt to respond to me, helped me deal with any vendor issues I had, and very professional. On the actual wedding day, I do not know what we would have done without Natalie and Ashley. Everything fell into place so perfectly and it was because of them! They kept the flow of the night going and improvised perfectly when needed. My family was so impressed and we will be using them for the remaining weddings we have in our family. I believe having a wedding planner / coordinator is the best decision any bride can make and I would highly recommend Two Be Wed – you will be so grateful you did!! My wedding event was everything I had ever imagined plus more and I really owe a lot of it to Natalie and Ashley – thank you so much ladies!!"
