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!

Shani loves Derek

Shani married Derek on September 23rd, 2011 at Paradise Point Resort. This couple were like two peas in a pod. Made for each other, and stuck close together. They couldn't have picked a better location for their intimate wedding of 40 guests. Shani was adamant about making sure that her friends and family had a good time, and boy did they. 

The ceremony was held on the Sunset Lawn, where the aisle was lined with peacock feathers, and gold sheer swagging from each chair. The weather held out for us and made the later afternoon wedding absolutely gorgeous. A family friend  Mike Mischke performed the ceremony while soft guitar music played in the background. Shani did a lot of the design planning on her own and made the ceremony very personal. Not a dry eye was in the crowd as the couple said their vows...especially Derek.

Soon after guests were invited to the dockside terrace to enjoy some amazing food and music, while the couple took photos along the water. It was a romantic and magical night for the Shani and Derek. The Dockside ballroom was covered in bright colored florals provide by Bethany from My splendid sentiments. The soft glow of the room made the whole reception the intimate space that Shani had hoped for. Great food, music, family and friends made the couples dream come true. I was truly honored to share in their special day!

Thanks to all the amazing vendors who made this wedding possible!
