We're starting this week off right, with a bold pink + black palette, stylish details + a pret-ty darling duo: Kara + Matt. For their fun, modern wedding, these two worked with Jamie at Sitting in a Tree to beautify the already rad setting at LA's SmogShoppe, and focused on meaningful details that represented them. Kara says, I'm an environmentalist and I love everything nature and Matt's an artist/designer, so we wanted to pull the outdoors in with the florals (which were amazing! we loved working with Megan from Honey & Poppies) and pull the design outside with the lounge areas. We picked SmogShoppe because it's an eco-friendly venue and it has the flow between the indoor and outdoor spaces which was perfect. We're both very into food and cocktails so we wanted to highlight locally farmed organic, really delicious food and drinks - Heirloom LA was flawless. We really wanted it to be a fun, happy and memorable event for us and our family and friends. We wrote our own vows with the intent of honoring our story and sharing it with our loved ones and a lot of our guests have told us it was the most authentic and sweet ceremony they've been to which means a lot to us.

Thanks so much to Whitney of Our Labor of Love for the super gorge images! Let's take a peek...

Kara told us what we hear so many brides say: she didn't want to take her dress off at the end of the night! She wore Vera Wang's Eliza dress and said, I loved loved loved it!

This artful pink + black backdrop really set the right tone for an amazing ceremony!

The stylish reception featured pieces from Borrowed Blu, Yeah! + Signature Party Rentals and Honey & Poppies ' tropical-inspired blooms really made the setting feel special.
