check out what we are up to over at enjoy events…. shotgun floral studio a new division of all things floral…

as 2011 comes to an end i am not sure where to even begin…. for the past two years i have immersed myself in all things wedding related. meeting, speaking, collaborating with so, so many wonderful folks! as you may have noticed (for those of you loyal lovely people who may still check fmkw’s) this blog has slowly taken a break on featuring “wedding related inspiration”. but with that said as we move away from this blog our company enjoy events co. continues to grow and you can catch up with all things we have been up to over at this blog.

emily and i have had such a wonderful year with launching enjoy events co. and we have so many wonderful people to thank for that (especially our mister’s for supporting us)!! we feel oh so lucky to have collaborated with so many talented industry professionals and we know/hope 2012 will bring all great things. we actually could not be more excited for our weddings next year and all the goodness we have up our sleeve!

we hope you enjoyed a little sneak peek from our 2011 wedding season! congrats to all our happy couples who tied the knot, cheers to 2011 and a toast to 2012 and all things to come.

hi lovelies! we are out and about in nyc for an event but just had to share this perfect backyard wedding captured by oh darling photography. the simplicity of this celebration puts a smile on our faces. here is a little inside scoop from the bride herself….
from the very beginning, we knew we wanted to have a party, not an overdone wedding. so when my brother mentioned that it would be cool to have a wedding in their yard, we jumped at the chance. my mom and aunt hand cut + sewed each piece of bunting that hung by the ceremony and inside the tent! plus hand cut the runners for our tables. we collected jars for the flowers from all over and our florist/friend planted flowers in her yard in our colors months prior to the wedding and assembled tons of bouquets to run down the table. a friend played banjo during the ceremony and another friend surprised us with the handmade wooden e + k signs that hung on the tree by the ceremony and over the dance floor. overall this wedding was a labor of love from the bride + groom to their dear family and friends and it all came together so beautifully. congrats to e + k!

we could not be more thrilled to share this gorgeous napa wedding with you all captured by the talented megan reeves photography. the organic touches, elegant venue and pops of color create an amazing eye catching celebration. the bride planned all the details herself and the design was the perfect match with carneros inn’s urban-rustic style. congrats to a + s!
