Bohemian Luxury

If she had been brought up in New York she would have lived on the Upper East Side. She would have spent her summers in the Hampton’s indulging in the finer things in life. Instead, she grew up in Southern California.  She went to private school as a child and attended a University as an adult. She spent her summers in Manhattan Beach and traveling the world. Paris, London, and Copenhagen.

She inherited her fathers ambition, drive, and his sense of business. Yes, she is my total “business savvy” friend, and she’s  a “seller” at heart. What I mean by that is, my dear friend Lauren, has the ability to make anything sound like a dream. And when I say dream, I’m talkin’ she can make any scenario, like “riding your bike up a 4 mile dirt hill to a farm to pick vegetables” sound like a euphoric experience you don’t want to miss out on type of dream. Yep, it’s a little magic trait of hers. She makes every experience sound amazing, whether it be a road trip down to good ole’ Chino Hills or the renovation of her little Cottage in Santa Cruz. This is what makes Lauren who she is. These are the little things that make her a free spirit, fun, with a touch a adorable wackiness.

As mentioned in a previous post, Lauren and her beau Leandro are talking about getting married! She has so many ideas for her wedding and her style is what I like to call “Bohemian Luxury.” She’s that high class, money making, “in the know” kind of gal with a vintage and bohemian twist to her. She loves to thrift shop, scout antique sales, indulge in yard sales, and last but not least, she loves nature and gardening. How the characteristics of high class and vintage go together, I couldn’t tell ya. However, with her they simply just seem to work.

Pulling together a wedding that encompasses everything that Lauren and Leandro are, is going to turn up my creativity a notch or two…or three. I gladly welcome this challenge and say, BRING IT! I can’t wait.

Below is a picture that reminds me of what “Bohemian Luxury” is about. This wedding is elegant and beautiful, yet still contains that natural organic vibe. There are so many different options when designing a “Bohemian Luxury” wedding. Get creative and find that perfect combination of elegance and organic.
