happy monday everyone! i realized i haven't shared recent arrangements in a while so did a little instagram photo-download. the photo above was the bouquet from this past weekend's wedding - the bride was so happy, which made me even happier :) below is a little boutonniere i created using lemon blossoms and leaves from our backyard. i was just kind of playing around with it because i always thought citrus blossoms would be pretty in a boutonniere - turns out they smell amazing,...

we've been pondering about it for the past year and a half, and i can finally announce the big news we've been deciding on for what seems like such a long time. (no, not that kind of news. not yet, sorry mom.) lovely little details is officially moving to georgia at the end of 2013! so, what does this mean? we will be staying here in california through the end of the year for my 2013 wedding season and i am currently scoping out office spaces in napa/sonoma to continue serving clients for...

the LLD team will be busy bees with the first wedding weekend of the year, starting with a+s' rehearsal dinner tomorrow and their wedding on sunday, and we couldn't be more excited. and even though spring doesn't officially arrive until march 20, it sure feels like the season is already here with all the lovely blooms being prepped for the festivities! as i mentioned in bold / underline / red text in my last timeline + layout email to this weekend's team of vendors, don't forget to change...

{image by susanne ashby photography, floral design by lovely little details} happy monday everyone! i woke up this morning to find out that b's wedding bouquet is being featured on the wedding chicks today - thank you amy + jocey for the lovely surprise :) hope you all had a great...

{florals, planning + design by lovely little details, images by stacey hedman} this wedding (featured on style me pretty a few weeks back) has taken me so long to actually blog because it was so hard to pick my favorite images from the hundreds that the incredibly talented photographer, stacey hedman (and her second shooter jaq poussot) provided to me. many of you may know this already but if you don't - i. love. film. photography. and if every one of my couples chose film for their wedding...

{image by stephen hughes // planning, styling + florals by lovely little details} i have a lot of updates going on over here behind the scenes besides wedding planning, y'all. i can say y'all because.. well you'll know very soon. regardless, i've been filling out paperwork for some of these updates and in one of the questionnaires, i was asked "what kind of packages do you offer?" and i stopped and thought for a moment. when LLD first opened its doors in 2010 i had every "package" available...

sequins, ruffles, glam and san francisco charm were all a huge part of e+t's wedding this past october. it was my last wedding of the year and one of the most detailed ones, with custom ribbon curtains, amazing blooms by laura miller, vintage rentals from one true love, and the sweetest couple around. i'm so excited to see their smiling faces and all the details featured on ruffled today, so head on over to take a look and leave them some love :) :::: vendors: Wedding Planning, Styling, and...

last week i went to the flower mart, picked up some blooms {whatever stood out to me at the time} and went home to prep the flowers. these weren't for a client, but they were to keep my creative energy going in the down season. i picked up some mini pineapples, ranunculus, narcissus, leafy eucalyptus, brunia, and some blush pink carnations. carnations get such a bad rap but when paired with other pretty, natural elements, i think they blend in quite well, don't you? even though this bouquet...

{all images by stephen hughes photography unless specified} happpppy new year!! are you as excited about the fresh start and blank notebook paper as i am? LLD is fully booked (!) for 2013 and i just cannot wait to get these parties started. i took some time away from the computer (didn't open it once!) over the holidays and did some serious thinking, and we have some big time announcements (not the baby kind, sorry mom, not yet) for the new year that i will be sharing with all of you very...

{all images by marianne wilson photography} i just returned from 4 days of engaging with the best of the best in the wedding world and my brain is on overdrive with ideas, new thoughts, and inspiration. i promise to fill you in on my experience soon, when my head is ready to put my thoughts in to words (read about my first engage here), but in the meantime, just got some photos back from n+c's october wedding in wine country and wanted to share with you. i just loved working with this...
