Sunny North San Diego County, ever creative Kimberly of The Dainty Lion and tons of handcrafted touches…this rustic inspiration shoot was so much fun! Extra hooray for Love Janet Photography who captured it all so beautifully. View the full post and gallery on Ruffled for even more gorgeous images and lots of extra inspiration!

From the event designer, Kimberly of The Dainty Lion: I have always been inspired by nontraditional romance. For this photo-shoot in particular, I wanted to highlight how unique elements can add character and charm to not only love but our celebration of it. Of course no bash is complete without items handcrafted from the heart, which is why I created the lace hearts, ruffles, vintage bottle labels and feather backdrop to complete the design.


Our Cream Sewing Table and Parlor Chair make a lovely vanity set!

French Bistro Chairs in Natural help set the ceremony scene.


Our Ingrid Buffet always makes the perfect bar!

A few of our favorite collections….candlesticks, bottles and goblets…oh my!
