shoutout :: sitting in a tree events

it’s been a while since we’ve done a shoutout – so to refresh your memory – when someone in the wedding industry truly rocks our world, we plan to tell you about it…just in case you want yours rocked, too. sitting in a tree events is a team of two california girls – tori in so cal + myka in nor cal – two rad chicks who have a flare for the funky, super sleek style and ultra laid back attitudes. in a way they kind of remind me of us – yin/yang, blonde/brunette, so different yet so very much the same. you get the best of both worlds.

they can design, style and throw a party like no one else…

check here for their “wow” table scape at the hitched event.

see their version of “la cosa blanca” – san diego style.

and catch them every tuesday guest blogging on style me pretty!

oh and we’re thrilled to be working on a little collab with these ladies that we’ll share with you in the next couple of months! xoxo
