Caroline + Giulio’s Wedding, Seven Degrees, Laguna Beach

Caroline and Giulio’s story is one that speaks to the perseverance of love and the fact that one really can find a soul mate in the darndest of places. You see, they sparked a friendship through the World Wide Web while living on opposite ends (literally) of the world; and got to know each other over the course of a few years before Caroline took a leap of faith and flew to visit Giuilio in Australia (where he called home). Their love then blossomed long distance- with visits interspersed from time to time. To me, this is truly impressive- I think of how much I miss Greg being away even for a few days, and I can’t imagine not being able to see him for months on end. But what doesn’t kill us only makes us stronger, right? Obviously, the rest is history- and it all ends (and begins, really) with their intimate and personal wedding day at Seven Degrees.

I loved planning with Caroline because she is so laid back- I don’t think she got stressed out once throughout the whole process. We had nothing but fun creating the modern look she envisioned for the Big Day. When I did get to finally meet Giuilio, I really enjoyed watching the two of them interact. Giulio is so gentle and caring with her; you can tell he adores her and treats her like a Queen. And Caroline gets this adorable smile on her face when he’s around. They are a perfect match, to say the least. Here is their lovely day courtesy of Sarah (of Sarah K. Chen Photography); enjoy!

Caroline’s rich gold colored blinged-out shoes were an appropriate nod to the palette of eggplant purple and gold that we weaved throughout the day.

In keeping with the modern and unique aesthetic of the day, Christine strategically placed an asymmetrical tulip hanging from the body of the bouquet, and attached a little bling Caroline selected to add some glamour. Love how it turned out!
