Real Wedding: Breezie & Jake’s Wedding Video

We are so excited for this post!  Just one month and a day ago, Breezie and Jake were blissfully married.  We’ve shown you their awesome pictures (wedding, decor) and talked up every little detail (favors, vintage napkins, vintage fruit crates, invitations) of their amazing wedding, but now you get to experience the joy and excitement exactly as it happened in an awesome video produced by Enge Chen of Enge Chen Films.  Enge did an amazing job capturing the the vintage feel of the entire wedding!  It couldn’t be any better!

DIY: Driftwood Centerpieces

Here at MOOD we love DIY projects and we enjoy finding ways to save our clients money.  Not only are DIY projects cost-effective and fun, but they are a great way to get family and friends involved and excited about the upcoming wedding.  DIY projects shouldn’t be stressful at all.  They should be well organized and planned far in advance so that the entire project is an enjoyable one.

In the photos above, we needed a  second centerpiece for Mari and Richard’s wedding (Part 1, Part 2) and had this awesome idea to bring in a rustic, natural feel through driftwood centerpieces.  When working with our florist, none of the floral wholesalers could provide an adequately priced piece of driftwood that fit our budget.  So we decided to head down to the local river and find some of our own.  It didn’t take long once we found the right spot – and the best part of it all – it didn’t cost anyting at all!  Even though the conditions were a little messy, not to mention that one of us fell almost waist deep into the water, we had an awesome time!

MOOD Food: Wedding Cakes by MOOD

Here at MOOD we’re all foodies, and saying we LOVE to eat is an understatement.  While the decorations are important and vital to a beautiful and cohesive wedding, we also believe that great food makes an ordinary celebration a spectacular one!  Besides, what better way to say “thank you” to your friends and family than by sending them home with full and happy stomachs!

That’s why we’re kicking off our new blog series entitled “MOOD Food” where we’ll share with you food tips, recipes and food options for every occasion. Whether it be a wedding, a corporate function, a bridal shower or baby shower, whatever the event, we’ll show you all the cool, fun and creative ideas relating to food today.

What better way to start off this blog series than with wedding cakes!  We’ve got quite the talented crew here at MOOD, and while we do a lot of planning, we also do a lot of hands on work – including wedding cakes.  It has certainly been a work in progress.  I hope you enjoy our cake gallery and will be back for second and third helpings of “MOOD Food” ideas and recipes down the road!

Real Wedding: Breezie & Jake’s Wedding | Vintage Eclectic!

We can’t say enough about how much we love Breezie and Jake and their eclectic-hippy-vintage-earthy-chic style.  It was a whirlwind experience planning their wedding in a month – that’s right, just one month – especially since the both of them spent a majority of the time away in Oregon preparing for their big move after the wedding.  Much thanks to Linda, Breezie’s mom, who managed to stay calm through the entire process and assisted us with all the final decisions and details of what Breezie would ultimately love for her special day!

Breezie and Jake’s vintage-eclectic style is a style completely their own.  And they didn’t just doll it up for their wedding theme.  It’s really who they are as individuals, and as a couple, and I love that it was reflected so well throughout their entire wedding.  Breezie and Jake were set on making sure their bridal party fit their roles perfectly.  Breezie’s sister, Tawni, sewed all of the bridesmaid’s yellow dresses, which were accompanied by accessories in various shades of brown.  To top it all off, and complete the look, of course, Breezie took her bridesmaids to a vintage hat shop in Salt Lake City where they all picked out their own vintage toppers!  How cute is that?

The groomsman wore all sorts of different things which really brought together the eclectic-vintage look.  From the suspenders, to the neckties, to the vests, and especially Jake’s hat, they were the perfect companions to their female counterparts.

The ceremony decor was simple and understated.  Mason jars filled with pillowy, Queen Anne’s Lace flowers and wide, vintage lace lined both sides of the aisle.  Vintage fruit crates stacked on top of each other flanked the ceremony archway and served as the base for two beautiful wild flower and yellow tulip arrangements by Just Because Flowers.  The archway was decorated beautifully with a spray of wild flowers and more yellow tulips.

After the ceremony, family and friends were invited to an intimate dinner reception with the newlyweds.  The setting was a beautiful and light summer, garden setting.  Vintage lace banners were hung from above and billowed in the breeze while guests dined.  The tables were covered in ivory linens and white, vintage lace overlays, with old-fashioned sparkling lemonade, a green and white vintage paper straw, and a freshly-picked yellow daisy tied with twine presented at each place setting.  DIY vintage inspired lace napkins with a soft, butter yellow stitching and baby food jars filled with lemon drops and topped with vintage floral fabric also accompanied each place setting.

The dessert reception featured an amazing buffet of homemade pies, old fashioned cakes and mini delectables, a shortcake station with mixed berries and whipped cream, and an old-fashioned sundae bar with ALL the toppings!  Guests were also treated to old-fashioned raspberry and peach lemonade.  Now you can’t beat that!
