Mireille loves Allan

Mireille and Allan got married on November 13th, 2011 at Scripps Seaside Forum in La Jolla. Since Mireille was a doctor at UCSD, and Allan was in Canada most of the wedding planning process, I got to enjoy piecing together some fun ideas for this couple. The whole theme of this wedding was fun! They wanted their guests to feel like they were invited to a big party, and not just a wedding. Well thanks to Mireille's great openinness, and some amazing vendors, we made this a reality. Some of the items that made this wedding the Party it was meant to be was a great lounge space, an Awesome band, a photo booth, mini desserts, a private room for football watching, and Champagne giveaways! Come on who sets up a room just so that guests don't miss the football games??? Mireille and Allan really made this wedding an event that guests did not want to leave. The only thing that was missing was a magician!(just kidding). At the end of the night guests even got to enjoy some In and Out before heading on their way. If every party detail was not thought of here, I would be surprised. Thank you to Mireille and Allan for including me in their amazing adventure.

Thanks to all the wonderful vendors who made this day possible.

Laura loves Chris

Laura and Chris got Married on August 13th, 2011 at The Estancia Hotel in La Jolla. From the minute that Laura told me she was getting married she knew what the vision of her wedding would be. She had a Whimsical and Vintage style that she wanted to capture. I was luck enough to know just the right florist to help implement Laura's design dreams. Melissa Barrad my partner took on the challenge. Together they created a whirlwind of manzanita branches, hanging candles, lanterns, chalkboard table signs, succulents, mason jars, burlap overlays and much much more. The Estancia was a perfect location for this Vintage masterpiece. Soft greens and pale ivory color splashed across every table. Amber uplighting created the illision of being surrounded by 1000 glowing candles. It was the perfect romantic setting. Knowing Laura and Chris personally made this wedding even more special for me.  I love that I got to be part of their special day.

Sarah loves Rob

Sarah married Rob on August 6th, 2011 at the San Diego Botanical Gardens. This was the perfect setting for her intimate wedding. Sarah was very creative in her detailed touches to make the day memorable for her friends and family. Everything from the handkerchiefs she gave out to the mini bottles of Champagne bubbles made her guests feel special.

The ceremony was very special because Sarah's stepfather performed it for the couple. He surprised her by dressing in his uniform. You could see the tears in her eyes as she walked down the aisle. The Walled Garden at the Botanical Gardens gave a beautiful backdrop for the ceremony, and the arch covered in pink roses was the perfect accent.

The reception was held at Sarah's parents residence. The pool overlooked the ocean, and the sun set right as the couple had their first dance. They lit up the sky. Every table was accented with beautiful centerpieces of pink and white flowers, the brides favorite. The tables glowed at night with votive candles sprinkled all about. Sarah thought of everything. She even got her bridesmaid's sandals so that they could dance the night away. This was a beautiful wedding and I was luck to be part of it.

Thank you to all the amazing vendors that made this day possible!
