Oct27 Punch Drunk Love Part One 2011
Sometime last spring, the editors of Southern Weddings Magazine asked me to put together a “Southern by Design” shoot to be featured in their 4th issue. In talking with the editors, they asked us to re-imagine the very southern classic “Cake and Punch” reception. I wrangled my darling/uber talented friend, Cortnie of Canvas and Canopy to help me style a beautiful shoot at Condor’s Nest Ranch! FILM photographer, Braedon Flynn brought his rad skills to the table and we had an absolute blast putting together a party that is both chic and totally doable! (Think of all the money you’ll save with a cake and punch reception instead of chicken and steak!)
For our sassy afternoon reception, we selected a short Marchesa gown from Gabriella New York Bridal Salon. For our Kate Middleton inspired headpieces, we enlisted Lo Boheme for custom pieces that added so much personality and spunk! Our hair and make up artist, Kacee Geoffroy helped us accomplish a fresh look with modern pops of color! We completed the looks with gorgeous jewelry created and provided by Noaki Jewelry.
Our Punch Drunk Love stationery was by MaeMae Paperie. The Gilly suite will be available to purchase when her new collection launches next week! Love those bright colors!
We nabbed really lovely furniture rentals from Urban Barn in Escondido.
Old mismatch forks were dipped in paint and we sourced tons of vintage punch bowls and cups from thrift stores! The punch cups served as place cards with calligraphy by Nancy Hopkins. The beautiful cakes were by Erica O’Brien with that ADORABLE “We’ll Have Our Cake and Eat It Too” cake server by Monkeys Always Look (who offers custom design AAAAND has a line coming out with Anthropologie very soon!).
We have so much more to share with you! Check back in later today for lots more images, a behind the scenes video AND some really fun recipes created just for us by Snake Oil Cocktails!

I LOVE that bouquet against her dress!!! Gorgeous shot!
I’m kind of obsessed with EVERYTHING about this. That paper suite is so good is insane and I love the whole concept but my favorite thing is the unmatched forks dipped in paint to unify. That is BRILLIANT. Perfect for any party. Might have to re-blog that bit of genius. Well done!
Where are those fabulous bridesmaids dressed from??
Nice work Summer! I especially love the flowers and the style of the bouquets!
gorgeous! I love the flowers!
where did you get those grey/blue shoes with the leaves and flowers on them…love them!
i’m dying over that cake cutter!! i’m so bummed it’s not in their etsy shop though.
How inspiring! I am loving the forks dipped in paint…so different and chic looking!
We love this theme. The styling is very beautiful. Gorgeous dresses, color palette, stationery, and cute cake cutter. Well done!
Oh my gosh, golly! This is so crisp and fresh… and so happy! Adore so very much!

It looks absolutely beautiful!! nice job team!
where did you get those shoes with flowers all over them? thanks!
i might be missing it in the copy, but who did the florals??
Hey Connie! I actually did the florals.
I suppose I should add that in. 
Those dipped forks ROCK! What kind of paint did you use? Can they be washed?
Cortnie did the fork dipping! I think it’s pretty standard Home Depot interior paint. I’d wash them and see if it works!
This shoot is fabulous, all around! Love the color combo and the feel. Trend setting style, yet classically glamorous. Gorgeous work
Summer! You and Cortnie are geniuses! Loved being a part of this. XO
