The Alibi Meets Wedding: LV + DK 2013

          L  O  V  E

This is the summer of love, 

and I'm so happy to collaborate
with as many weddings as we have. Our first wedding was for Lani Virostko and Danny Kent, a pair of good friends of ours.  The celebration was in Murphy's- the sweetest little rustic one-horse town, flooded with incredible local wine.  Below are images of the amazing day, and a few of the products The Alibi supplied.  A very happy congratulations to the new couple!        xx P

Brian Friel of Young America Creative was the ingenious 

mind behind hanging tumble weeds as chandeliers.

It was one of the most impressive design

elements of the wedding!

Each dinner table had three reclaimed wood succulent boxes, which stood for the center 

pieces {stunning and simple}, as well as the guest gifts.  People were thrilled to 

take one home with them, and some snagged more than one!  Flattery.

This was the bride and groom's personal table.  

They sat lookin' pretty under a wrought iron arbor tangled in grape vines.

The day was hotter than ever, but the bubbles helped immensely.

Wine chalkboard signage from the Alibi.

This might have been my favorite story- 

Rustic barn background, metal cans full of wine with 

an elaborate display of stemware, burlap table runners 

and cloths; a total and complete cohesiveness was created

and it felt good to be part of it.

One of the many charming details of Murphy's:

an antique wagon for prisoners.  I LOVE this stuff.

Another visual feast from Young America Creative.  Brian designed Lani & Danny's guest sign-in as a piece of art.  Framed by The Alibi, the collaboration
was superb.

The photographers, Still Music by Erin & Jeremy Hohengarten, 

set up the ultimate photo booth.  All frames by The Alibi, with

dried flower bouquets and string lights for ambiance, it was 

a picture story every guest wanted to be a part of!

A hundred years of happy marriage and ever
lasting love to Lani and Danny~  xxo

NEW! Alibi Interior Creations

Chris and I have both been busy
with our latest orders, which just
seem to keep on coming.

Check out what we've been up to this spring!

Reclaimed wood farm tables and benches have been on high demand lately!

They are currently selling at Stripe downtown,

or you can place an order with us directly

at thealibi@live.com.

This is my succulent wheelbarrow

that I planted and was so proud of!

We placed it in our front yard and

have received many compliments

on it.  You can plant an edible

garden in it as well- great space

saver with a beautiful aesthetic. 

New shipment of wood!

These old fence boards take hours of prep before they can be used.  

Nails are pulled and each board must be wire brushed.  And, 

depending on what they become (maybe a bench?) they take hours 

of sanding down to make a smooth finish for your bum :)

The best pieces are the boards with moss or vines still growing 

on them.  I lalaloooove the raw and organic feel of these 

ones and have a bad habit of keeping them for myself!

My latest favorite are these bird houses with succulent rooftops.  

We make them exclusively for Hidden Garden Nursery in Aptos.  

I recently gave one to my mom for Mother's Day and she was thrilled!  

We have ours attached to our fence and it make for the perfect adornment.

Our storage shed is close to being complete (with reclaimed 

wood siding, obviously, a corrugated tin roof, old original 

Queen Ann windows from the house, and the same trim 

color as our main house).  Chris tacked this living succulent 

frame up to see how the plants fared.  

We're still experimenting with these pieces; 

and are happy with the way they're turning out!

The frames are for sale at DIG on Water Street- support your local artist :)
