Real Wedding: Elizabeth & Brian


Today we get to reminisce about the beautiful celebration that was Liz and Brian's wedding! I had such a great time working with this couple to pull together all the beautiful details of their special day. They gave a whole new meaning to the term DIY wedding! I got to spend the days leading up to the wedding with the bride's mom, aunts and friends making all of the floral centerpieces and bouquets. The groom, himself, even made the hummus appetizer! Such a fun couple! Enjoy these beautiful photos by Emma of Honey Honey Photography.




Liz wanted very soft, elegant looking bouquets in shades of white and blush pink with touches of greenery. We made her bouquets mainly out of roses, hypercurium berries, and lisianthus, and then tied them all with long ribbon and lace streamers to add movement and fun texture. So much more exciting than just a plain old satin ribbon! The boutonnieres were tied together with twine to add a nice vintage looking touch.





The bride and groom (along with their friends and family) put together all of the cute DIY details found throughout the wedding. There were custom signs, fun desserts, a whole appetizer station, and games for guests to play during cocktail hour. The groom even made little signs out of scrabble tiles, because the two of them love playing games together. What a great personal touch!












Thank you so much to all of the vendors who helped make this wedding fabulous!

Reception Venue: The Casino San Clemente
Caterer: Jay's Catering
Photobooth: Pink Shutter
Florals: Cassandra Dyane Weddings & Events (plus the Bride's friends and family)

Congratulations to Liz and Brian! We hope you have many, many happy years together!

Real Wedding: Emilie and Tyler


During my time working with Shirley of Fresh Events Company, I had the pleasure of assisting with a totally awesome wedding that was held at the Huron Substation. I had such a great time working on this wedding, that when I came across the pictures I just had to share them with you. This wedding, along with being shown on Fresh Events Company's blog, has also been featured on Style Me Pretty. It was photographed by the fabulous Kari Kochar, who never fails to capture all of the beautiful moments a wedding can offer. Ian from RedShoe LA (my favorite wedding DJ - who will be taking over at my own wedding) created such an incredible mix of music for this wedding that the mood was fantastic and unlike any other wedding I have ever been to. The flowers were beautifully crafted, thanks to Gilly Flowers' unique creations. But the best part of this wedding were all of the DIY ideas that the Bride, Groom, and their families pulled together all by themselves! They made paper chain decorations, chair cushions for lounge furniture, pennant flag escort cards for the entry way, table runners, dessert station decor, and much much more! I've never seen such an incredible hand crafted masterpiece of a wedding. If I had to pick my favorite wedding that I have done thus far... this one would be it! I can only hope that all of the weddings I help produce will turn out as successful as this one. 

















I hope you enjoyed these photos as much as I did!
