Inspiration Board III | Darlington House Wedding in Oranges and Greens, La Jolla, CA

Couple: Amanda and Don Venue: Darlington House, La Jolla, CA Wedding Date: July 13, 2008 Photographers: The Youngrens Our favorite weddings take place at boutique venues with a lot of character. The kind of places that offer up their unique and stylish personalities with an inviting hug, but that also allow you to infuse your own colors and details without much effort. When we first encountered the lovely Darlington House tucked away in its peaceful corner of La Jolla, we were instantly smitten. Like sit down with a glass of wine and just fall in love smitten.

Couple: Theary and Martin Venue: El Dorado Golf Course, Long Beach, CA Coordinator: Candice Bradley, Dolcissima Events Wedding Date: September 9, 2007 Photographers: The Youngrens I am getting extremely sentimental on this warm Tuesday morning.

Be Inspired
A Lovely Brunch in Boise, Idaho

When I say that our brides are the coolest, I mean the coolest. Like as cool as that girl in 8th grade who wore a denim skirt she made from an old pair of stonewashed jeans from the 6th grade and would page her BFF to meet her at the Arctic Circle while sipping an oreo shake and rocking out to the Backstreet Boys on her walkman. I always wanted to be that cool… But sometimes, I actually do get to hang with the cool kids. When we travel to weddings outside of Southern California, Jeff and I love to…
