Scenes From a Wine Country Wedding Weekend

Somewhere along the way my friends all got grownz up and in the process learned how to put together utterly magical weddings. I swear, every wedding I attend these days is like stepping foot into my single friends’ secret “My future wedding” Pinterest boards, replete with gorgeous locations, amazing food, and floral arrangements sent from Heaven.

This weekend the setting for one such wedding was Paso Robles, a delightful little town about 3 1/2 hours from LA known for its many wineries. The nuptials took place at a gorgeous vineyard – HammerSky Vineyards (doesn’t that name sound like the title of a James Bond movie? I digress…). It was a warm summer evening, with the Lunar Eclipse poised to make an appearance, perhaps to blame for this beautiful sunset:

I felt like I should be in an Anne of Green Gables book, with the rolling hills set as the backdrop:

By the way, any bride that walks down the aisle to Rolling Stones’ “Wild Horses” isn’t so bad in my book:

Perfection, right? Sigh…

NYC: Love is in the air

Apparently, love is in the air in the Big Apple.  First, there was last month’s black tie bash slash Royal Wedding of our 3rd bestie, Melissa, to her beloved Koala… complete with a jewel-toned rainbow of Rent the Runway bridesmaid gowns, a diamond brooch bouquet for the 80’s Barbie Princess Bride, and big red tour buses that toted the wedding congregation all around the city.  The wedding was so insanely stunning that Karrie & I haven’t even told you all about yet because we don’t know where to begin… And also because we’re pretty sure it’s going to be exclusively written up in a far bigger publication than our wee Covet Living, and we didn’t wanna scoop it.

It was such a sweet weekend that it got me & Matt all gooey inside strolling around Central Park.

It obviously got Karrie feeling sentimental too, as was evidenced by the straight hour when she shoved Skinny Pop in my face while we were trying to get ready, then uploaded the video to social media. #whataslut

But back to the subject of l-o-v-e in NYC, can we please discuss how amazing our friends’ Tara & Mike’s Engagement Photos by Rouxby Photography are???  They’re featured today over at Style Me Pretty.  Click HERE for the full scoop on Mike’s insanely well-orchestrated, surprise proposal, and the gorgeous photo gallery.  And don’t forget to take a peek at her ring.  *DAMN*
