I am going to let the pictures do most of the talking for one BIG reason- the pictures are fantastic! Ray with Apertura Photography was not only a dream to work with, but he did an incredible job photographing the day. In fact all the vendors I was lucky to work with in planning Eileen and Derrick’s Big Day were a talented and amazing group. With such a gorgeous wedding filled to the brim with details, good vendors were an absolute must-have. Enjoy the pictures!
Eileen has some great taste in shoes- she chose not just one; but two pairs of lovely Louboutins to wear.
Seeing Eileen’s taste in heels it only makes sense that her gown would be equally as divine; her Judd Waddell gown was just exquisite.
Meanwhile, over at the guys’ beach house….
Derrick has some pretty impeccable taste in fashion as well, and selected his own duo of shoes to wear on the Big Day. And of course he looked super sharp in his own custom tuxedo.
Guests were treated to a trolley car ride to and from the ceremony; such a fun and unique touch.
Ceremony time!
After the ceremony, the newlyweds and their crew all traveled to a breathtaking beach location for pictures.
The cocktail reception included two specialty drinks (Lycheetini and Mango Mojito) hand picked by Eileen and Derrick.
I love this one- such a classic Hotel Del shot.
Now time for the reception; here’s the Grand Ballroom in all its elegant glory. The custom seamless dance floor was the icing on the cake as far as the luxurious decor went.
Their color palette of white, ivory, blush and champagne tones was perfectly enhanced with touches of bling.
Just a few of the many details for guests to enjoy; two manzanita trees adorned with hanging chocolate covered strawberries, a yummy candy bar featuring the couples favorite candies, and escort cards each attached to a Ferrero Rocher chocolate (Eileen’s favorite!).
Much to the delight of unknowing guests, a Filipino dance troupe performed a few routines to enhance the reception.
