jaw-dropping ravenswood event center wedding

You guys…just wait until you see this Ravenswood Event Center wedding! You think you’ve seen it all, but we’re about to pull out the big guns. When Marissa + Dave told us they wanted their wedding to feel like the best party ever, we knew it was going to be good. But this, well, this just takes the cake… and donuts and tasty kakes and so much more!

eclectic granny wedding decor inspiration

Usually, we don’t do a lot of wedding shows, but this winter we styled it up at several. You would think after last year’s Camp Indie Wed, we’d hang up our hats for a bit, but no. This year, we hit Indie Wed, Dose Trousseau, and helped launch the first Beverly Wedding Expo. At all three, we channeled our inner grandmother goddess to put together some wedding inspiration with just the right level of “eclectic” and “granny” combined. (If you didn’t know, we’re kind of known for this vibe.)

camp indie wed!

As we prepare for Indie Wed this weekend, we’re taking a look back at last year, when we put together Camp Indie Wed with some of our favorite friendors (aka vendor-friends)! It was so ah-mazing that we just had to share…

a fun-filled ravenswood event center wedding

When we met Amy + John last summer, we knew we were going to love working with them. I mean… look at those photos… you can tell they are having a blast and loving every minute! That, plus, getting to work in one of our fave venues with some awesome vendors – we’re in!

indie wed 2014 at ravenswood event center

The only wedding show we ever participate in rolled around last winter and we (per usual) stayed up all night putting the finishing touches on our booth. Indie Wed at the Ravenswood Event Center is one of our favorite times of the year because we get to see so many of our very favorite vendors in one place and get the chance to be creative with only the dimensions of our booth to confine us.

Laura saved the day when I was setting up and my giant, golden “P” popped.  Let’s face it, “Let’s Arty” just doesn’t have the same ring as “Let’s Party!”
