Yuko and Jon wanted their Saddlerock Ranch wedding to be unlike any other- so they called on their creative and talented friends to come together and help them create an incredibly personal and unique day. Now, in all honesty- couples who choose to hire friends for their wedding day (even if they are experienced professionals with hundreds of weddings under their belts) can sometimes cause me to have a bit of concern given the emotional nature of weddings and the importance placed on that one day. I explain it this way to couples- if for some unknown reason you were to be unhappy with that person’s involvement in your day, is it worth possibly comprimising the friendship? In this instance though- their all-star cast of vendors pulled off a fabulous day without a hitch. Not only that, but the day was a perfect reflection of their playful and one-of-a-kind love. Thanks to Jennifer Young Photography for her gorgeous images of the day- my favorite of which are below. Enjoy:)

Alli and Jeff are a super duper sweet couple who had their heart set on a summer wedding at the gorgeous Talega Golf Club. Alli wanted a rich palette of all shades of purple- from plum all the way to lavendar, which we mixed with dark wood elements and softened it all up with touches of dusty miller and ivory. Getting married in the middle of July can be a bit nerve-wracking as warm weather is always a possiblity- but lucky for us it was a perfect day and the sun was shining bright as they tied the knot. Thanks to Belle Amie Studios for being awesome to work with and capturing the day so perfectly! Enjoy:)

I had another wonderful opportunity to plan the September Wedding Industry Professionals Association meeting. Showcasing Seven Degrees as the venue, guests started out on the al fresco terrace with a lounge-style setting perfect for mingling and trying several delicious light bites. Moving down into the Media Lounge, a modern wonderland awaited with a futuristic silver, white and ice blue color palette- a highlight was the gorgeous suspended centerpiece which served as the focal point of the room. Dynamic speaker Jen O’Sullivan filled the group in on her “Marketing Strategies to Wake Up Your Business” as they enjoyed sumptuous food stations including one focusing purely on comfort foods (think Fried Mac n’ Cheese bites and a Grilled Cheese and Short Rib Sandwich- YUM!). To top of the evening there were sweets galore with a BLUE velvet cake and a dessert buffet to satiate any sweet tooth! A fabulous evening for an even more fabulous association:)

Beverly and Nelson’s Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel Wedding was recently featured on the fabulous California Blog on Style Me Pretty. Check out the full feature and all its gorgeousness for yourself HERE.
Claire and James had a lovely wedding at the Los Angeles Country Club- the same location that Claire’s grandparents had been married at! Claire hand-picked her ceremony location in the pines- a perfect, magical spot with a sense of being away from it all while still in the middle of a bustling city. I loved so many things about their über-personal day; that Claire got ready at her grandma‘s house, that Claire’s uncle Dan provided the coolest transportation (a classic military vehicle) for James and his guys and Claire and the girls to get to the ceremony location in, and that Claire threw her bouquet off the same balcony her grandma did on her wedding day. All those special touches, and more, added up to create a day so uniquely them. Leah (of Leah Marie Photography) was a doll to work with- and her images turned out fabulous. Enjoy my favorites below:)

I am SO excited to share this highlights video of Natasha and Nima’s GORGEOUS Pelican Hill wedding, compliments of Elysium Productions. Really there were so many amazing details and moments from this very special day- one of my favorites was Nima’s reaction to seeing Natasha waking to him down the aisle. Goosebumps! And the genius team at White Lilac really outdid themselves on the decor. You truly must see for yourself:
