DELECTABLE

For all those folks that claim my hats look good enough to eat, today the treat's on me.  If you have a sweet tooth for concoctions whipped up in poufs and froths, enjoy these visual pastries served up on platters.  I like to think of hats as topping off a look just like desert punctuates a good meal.  Bon Appetite . . .

Most of these hats can be found in my Etsy Shop.  If you see a style you like that's not listed contact me via amyjotatum@gmail.com or ring 415.258.8204

THE CHIC REPORT

Not exactly a new feature but just wanted to make sure you don't miss out on all the great editorials we've done this season and all the seasons that have gone before us.  Check out the side bar where you'll find a link to The Chic Report.  After premiering on the Bride Chic Blog, each editorial feature will migrate to a permanent page and link.  This means if there was something you liked it will be easier to keep checking back for reference.  Pictured above is the lovely Sujan photographed by Stellar Q. Danielo for the upcoming editorial, 'Meet Me in the Park' a showcase of images by San Francisco photographers of my gowns, set against the gorgeous backdrop of Golden Gate Park.  The interesting textured wall Sujan walks alongside here is the facade of the De Young Museum, one of a few park landmarks we captured . . .

INSPIRATION SUNDAY

The Lady In Pink

Me thinks

Pink is her favorite color

In which, she is

So elegantly dressed.

She is the grand dame, in

Pink sweater,

Pink skirt,

Pink coat,

Pink hose,

Pale shoes

And pink pearls clipped in her

Perfectly coifed

Champagne colored hair

And diamonds in her smile.

PHOTOGRAPHY SPOTLIGHT: REBECCA WILKOWSKI

Sarah and Anthony’s Wedding

January 31st, 2010

Berkeley, California

CREDITS

Photography: Rebecca Wilkowski Certified Green Photography

Gown: Saja

Shoes - Christian Louboutin

Florist - Darling Flower Shop Berkeley, CA

Catering: Oliveto Oakland, CA – certified organic food

Venue - East Bay Botanical Gardens and the Claremont Resort Hotel and Spa

Anthony and Sarah met in school, at the Art Institute of California in Santa Monica. They had the same circle of friends, but somehow managed not to meet each other for three months. Then, late one night at the tail end of a party, Sarah showed up and Anthony was smitten. A week into dating, Anthony asked her to marry him to which she promptly said "no." After 3 ½ years of asking, Sarah finally said yes!
January 31st is Sarah's grandparents' wedding anniversary. They thought it'd be a nice tribute to have the same wedding day since they are still married after more than fifty years. They wanted to keep things relatively low key, so they only invited a selected group of close friends.

Sarah and Anthony wanted to get married outside, and the botanical gardens with it's natural beauty and setting seemed like the perfect place.

The florist came highly recommended and could do the succulent bouquet that Sarah wanted. The wattle in the bouquet is an Australian plant and yellow is her favorite color.

Says Sarah about the talent of photographer Rebecca Wilkowski: "Rebecca is awesome and sooooo talented!!! We just loved her great composition and lighting skills. She captured the moments that were the most important and memorable. Within a couple hours of meeting everyone, Rebecca was able to capture all of their little nuances, expressions and mannerisms that make each of them so special. . . ."
