You guys! Thanks for all the love with our new site (and patience while we worked out some kinks!) We immediately collapsed after hitting launch last week and ran away to Austin for some much needed family down time (read – eating a lot of queso, drinking good coffee, sleeping in, and exploring amidst Texas storms) But we’re back and came home to a delightful surprise this morning… Green Wedding Shoes is featuring Nic + Iain’s wedding today! What a treat to have two features in two weeks! Thanks internet 🙂

Nichole and Iain and the whole team of vendors they hand-picked were all rockstars to work with. So much thought and careful detail went in to making this day wholly “them” which is honestly the sign of a wedding done well. Nic happens to be the owner of the rad company – Nic.Roc.Designs! Seriously check out her stuff, she’s killing it. You can see so much of her design background radiate through their theme – The Irish (Iain, legit Irishman) and the Yank (Nichole, sequin dress and all). From custom drink stirrers, engraved rings, party bags, emerald accents, pinata/pool/repeat, it was a party and intimate all at the same time. Check it out!

So we launched a new website! Pretty spiffy huh?! Thanks for being kind about the complete radio silence on our blog updating! We had been working away on this redesign (by “we” I mean Chadwick did all the re-designing work x100% and I made him coffee and obsessed over copy) for about 9 or 10 months and are so so so so excited to share it with you all today! To all of you who have done this or in process of making a website, oof, it’s hard! In a world where so much demands a careful digital presence it can be downright paralyzing to choose what to put where. We may toyed with a header that simply read – “insert cool, not overly-played phrase here” or “we are…bad at copy.” It’s scary to put yourself out there in to the internet world! Hopefully this place better conveys who we are, what we believe, and why we’d still rather get to know you in the real world too. So pop some champagne with us as we jump in to this new season for Gantes.Co!

And we could not think of a better way to kick it off then with a feature on the lovely Ruffled wedding website with one of our favorite couples to date! But honestly, Molly and Brennen are the best humans ever! Emailing with Molly, getting beers when they came to San Diego for their eng. session, and then arriving to the wedding to find the sweetest, most-heartfelt notes at our place settings…these two did it right. Everyone at their wedding kept echoing how it couldn’t be topped and perfectly fit who they are. It helped that they were down to run over to the random cotton field that was in bloom down the road at sunset. Because, why not?! Really though, so glad these two have stayed in touch and thrilled the wedding world gets to see all their hard work in making this day so special to all who attended.
