Sneak Peek: Anthropologie Does Weddings

This is why she’s my best friend – because she knows exactly how to get me to squeal in the middle of a corporate shoot… The lovely and adorable, Shannon, reads the COOLEST fashion blogs around, and she keeps me updated on the best news ever. So thanks to my stylin’ friend, I got a handful of links in my inbox during a short intermission on a the set of a shoot yesterday – some sneak peek images of the new BHLDN wedding line at Anthropologie, being released online on Valentine’s Day.

Science Themed Wedding Invitations

Tags: eric & cindy | invitations | love this

If quirky had an avatar, it would be Eric and Cindy. Eric and Cindy are both scientists by trade and their quirky, science-themed summer wedding at The North Chapel in Point Loma and the Marine Room Restaurant in La Jolla captured their lovable personalities perfectly. Everything from the place cards to the dinner that was served reflected a part of their lives – their affection for their adorable kittens, their self-proclaimed “science nerd” relationship, and their love for great food and remarkable experience. When it comes to weddings, the entire theme, style, and experience of the wedding day begins with…

Brides, lovers, fellow Anthro-addicts – the day has finally come. I thought it would never happen. But I woke up this morning to an email that read…. “What if Anthropologie did Weddings?” Shuuuuuuuuut up!! It’s brilliant. Sheer genius. I want to kiss whoever does the email marketing over at Anthropologie headquarters/heaven (sorry sweetie). Maybe that way I can glean just a little bit of the pure magic that rolls out of their heads with every single advertisement that I receive from them. I mean, their brains must be made of fluffy puppies and cotton candy, because I get warm fuzzies…

Message in a Bottle Wedding Invitations

Tags: invitations | jason & Michelle

Recently, our lovely bride Michelle handed me one of her wedding invitations with the kind of smile that said, “Erin, you’re are going to LOVE this.” And she was so right. Our couples never cease to amaze me with their creativity and talent – why do we get to work with the coolest couples ever?? A few years ago, Jason and Michelle moved to San Diego together from the east coast, so for most of their guests, their wedding will be a mini-vacation to the beaches of California. So to promote the destination vibe for her friends and family, Michelle…
