K Squared Equals LOVE

K and K were married last September at the breathtaking Scripps Forum.

This is my third wedding at the Forum, and I am excited to be back several times this year!

I was super duper excited for this wedding, as the bride really has an eye for design and color. The overall vibe we were going for was an eco-friendly version of the store Anthropologie:) So, we enlisted Jennifer Cole to create arrangements with a ton of texture. Instead of traditional round tables, we opted for three feasting tables--a small table for the bridal party and immediate family, and two larger tables for all of the newlywed's loved ones. A single peacock feather was at each place setting, and the bar menu, table numbers and table assignments were on really great oversized chalkboards.

Heather loves Justin

I am definitely using this time just before the busy season to catch up on blogging! Heather and Justin were married this past July. They were married at the Admiral Kidd Club, followed by a reception at the El Cortez. It was a warm day, and things went beautifully!
Because Heather and Justin had a very large number of loved ones, we had a slightly unorthodox reception. After the ceremony on base, the newlyweds celebrated with their loved ones with a short cocktail reception, which allowed them to mingle with guests. Towards the end of the reception, they cut their cake, threw the bouquet and garter and sped off towards downtown for more pictures.
A more intimate group joined Mr. and Mrs. S at the El Cortez for a second cocktail hour, dinner and dancing. I loved helping bring Heather's vision to life of a traditional day with tons of modern elements. I especially loved the bright color palette which was perfect for summer! Florals by yours truly!

To top off the evening, I was joined by three of my favorite wedding folks, DJ Mick and Norma and John of NR3 Video.

Heather and Justin, I am thankful to have met you and your families. Thank you for including me on your wedding day!

Jen loves Paul

Jen and Paul's wedding was my last of 2009, and it was a great end to a fabulous year! The wedding took place at The Crossings at Carlsbad and we were blessed with beautiful weather. Mike Hogan made the room look amazing with uplights. It was a clear, gorgeous day, and while we got a beautiful sunset, the room kept looking better and better as the evening progressed! And just like the room, the dance floor was the same way--it was packed the entire evening.

Jen and Paul, you are an amazing couple! I am truly honored to have been a part of your day.
