Pink Smog Shoppe wedding: Carol + Byron

10 Jan

Jenny Packham?s Cascade gown and Kate Spade blue bow heels

Not that we?re biased because we live in LA, but the Smog Shoppe really is a fun wedding venue. It?s decorated with funky and retro tchotkes, a live succulent wall, it?s cozy and intimate, and it?s so easy to have both your ceremony & reception in the same spot. Every time we see a wedding from the shoppe we get excited to see how each couple makes the space their own.?Sweet Emilia Jane did a fabulous job with designing the florals and?Carol + Byron?s ?fun party? vibe while also incorporating details from their Chinese culture. It?s simply adorable!

blue chevron wedding invitations

For their wedding invitations, Carol + Byron started with a free printable download with a bold chevron pattern. With the help of friends they adjusted it to suit their tastes then used the design everywhere pretty paper could be involved ? their programs, menus, escort cards, and table names.

I heard this many times before but it didn?t stick so I?ll say it again! ?The whole day and night is a blur and you really want to be able to enjoy it and hang out with all of your guests. So, hire a wedding coordinator if you can and if you can?t then assign tasks to family and friends. They will be happy to help you and be part of the wedding. Make sure that you don?t have to deal with any tasks like paying your vendors or keeping track of the schedule. Plan what you can beforehand, hand out assignments, and have one person be the main contact person. Just enjoy the moment because the next day it will all feel like an amazing dream! Also there may be things that go wrong but don?t fixate on them! ?The next day we worried about what went wrong and turns out we were the only ones who noticed or cared!

Great advice that?s always worth repearting. Congratulations Carol + Byron!
