Real Weddings: Lindsey & James featured in 2010 Los Angeles Ceremony Magazine

More photos after the break…



Lindsey Speegle and James Aldridge incorporated many elements of their lives into their wedding celebration. To symbolize their engagement which took place in Solvang, CA by the town’s giant windmill, the couple had custom chocolate windmills created as favors. Bright blue and vibrant orange hues in their décor were reminiscent of the sensational California sunset over the Pacific Ocean witnessed by their guests at the reception. The couple strove to create a warm, welcoming ambiance for their beloved friends and family.

I would have never put these colors together, but it actually worked.

Hi Andie, It looks like this doll was made to look like her…at least the dress. Do you know who made this? Also, same question with the sketch of the dress. Can you recommend a company that does this. I am always looking for these type of items for my brides.

Hi Stephanie! The doll was created by Dolls by Barbara, but she is no longer taking orders to create custom dolls. I am going to link her webpage to her name. The Wedding Sketcher is an amazing artist who sketches gowns. Not sure if she is taking orders, but I am going to move this conversation to the forums to see if there are any other suggestions. I will do some of my own research as well. Thanks for getting the conversation started.
