I love { Striped Skirts }

Kristeen — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 16:45:08 +0000

While browsing Pinterest, I ran across one of the most darling bridesmaid looks – striped skirts courtesy of Anne M. Cramer. Her Flynn skirt is absolutely adorable and I want one. Available in a multitude of colors in both knee and full lengths, this is surely a look your girls will wear again.

I love { Milk & Honey Shoes }

Kristeen — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 16:45:59 +0000

Last Thursday night I attending the “What’s Your Something Blue?” event at the Petersen Automotive Museum. There were many vendors with great stuff but I couldn’t stop drooling over the shoes from Milk & Honey, an online boutique where you can design every detail of your shoes from color to heel height. Once ordered, delivery of the shoes take 6-8 weeks. They also have a showroom in Los Angeles, so if you’re a local girl, give them a call to pop in and see all of their options!

{ Bad Blogging }

Kristeen — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 16:45:01 +0000

I have been the worst blogger over the past few months! Things have been crazy-hectic with winter weddings, new bride consultations and a styled shoot that you’ll be seeing on Green Wedding Shoes in the next few weeks. 2012 is already turning out to be a great year!

I have some beautiful wedding photos to blog and will start posting more of my style/wedding obsessions.

I would love it if you’d leave comments on my posts to see what you’d like to see more of!

We are excited to announce that Kristeen LaBrot Events is a winner of WeddingWire’s Bride’s Choice Award for the second year in a row!

How are the winners determined?
The WeddingWire Bride’s Choice Awards ™ recognizes the top local wedding professionals from the WeddingWire Network that demonstrate excellence in quality, service, responsiveness and professionalism.

Awards are determined by a combination of four factors: Overall rating (quality), total number of reviews (quantity), review performance from 2011 (recency), and consistency of reviews from year to year (consistency). This year’s recipients represent the top 5% of WeddingWire’s vendor community, across all service categories and all regions throughout the US and Canada.

Happy New Year!

Kristeen — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 16:45:52 +0000

With the New Year rapidly approaching, I thought I’d post a few of my favorite photos from the past year. 2011 brought me 20 weddings, 1 styled shoot and 2 baby showers. 2012 is going to be even bigger!

I hope everyone has a wonderful (but safe) holiday weekend!
