Heather and Richard had an absolute party of a wedding this day last year at one of my favorite venues, Rancho Las Lomas. Here’s wishing you both a fabulous anniversary spent enjoying time together!

Happy Anniversary, Angela + Tom

Angela and Tom’s wedding was truly unique; seeing as it was chalk full of cultural elements and personal details, how could it not be? The location added to the one-of-a-kind experience, being that Rancho Las Lomas is, by definition, one-of-a-kind. Here’s wishing them a fabulous Anniversary!

Angela + Tom’s Rancho Las Lomas Wedding, Revisited (and an update!)

Hope you all had a wonderful Thansgiving! We spent the holiday up in Nor Cal- where it actually felt like Thanksgiving (I saw news coverage of people in So Cal having poolside Turkey Days- the weather was just nuts!) I have quite a few amazing weddings left to share with you in the next few weeks. We definitely closed out this year’s wedding season on a fabulous note. Among them are:

Courtney and Blake’s wedding at the Mission Inn Hotel & Spa, Riverside (photo by Cean One Photography)

Eileen and Derrick’s wedding at the Hotel Del Coronado (photo by Apertura Photography, Ray Soemarsono)

And a few that we are eagerly awaiting pictures from:

Jenny and Ethan at the Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel

Melanie and Efren at the Admiral Kidd Club, San Diego

Lisa and Mark at the Resort at Pelican Hill, Newport Coast

Audrey and Ali at the Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel

For now, I offer a closer look at this lovely, culture inspired wedding at the Rancho Las Lomas photographed by Jen and Jody Photography.

I could not get enough of Angela’s delicately cascading bouquet made up of rich hues of red, orange, rust and yellow. Divine!

Two very special guests made a short cameo to play a part in the wedding processional; Karma and Dottie were both so well-behaved, and way too adorable for words.

Angela changed no less than three (three!) times- her last look was an elegant and delicate Manuel Mota for Pronovias gown that made her look like an absolute angel.

Heather and Richard exude the perfect balance of carefree fun and fantastic taste. This made planning with them an absolute dream! From the get-go, we set out to create and over-the-top day filled with loads of bling, vibrant colors, surprises around every corner for their guests, and a big time emphasis on FUN. I would say it’s fairly obvious that we had much success in accomplishing our goals. Nisie brought the bling with crystals-galore included throughout every part of the day; from the ceremony arch all the way through to the cake stand. As for surprises- take your pick; a made to order sushi station, on-site hand rolled cigars, and a late night dance lounge revealed to guests after dinner (including the most delicious tray-passed snacks- mini root beer floats? Yes, please!), just to name a few. The perfect fit to capture such a one-of-a-kind wedding? None other than the team at Amy Squires & Co. (Amy, Lane, and Rani Lu ROCKED!). Check out my favorites from the day:

These shoes were MADE for Heather. I am surprised the label said Jimmy and not Heather instead.

Exhibit A of how fun these two are- they chose to have guests sign oversized bottles of Patron (a favorite of theirs) as a guest ‘book’.

These little cuties were so adorable in their tutus. Melted my heart!

Even the little Ring Bearer got to represent with the guys in his own Ed Hardy bowtie.

Heather and Richard constructed the giant R that escort cards were affixed to. Guests loved it!

Here’s a taste of the dripping with bling decor- gorgeous to the tenth power!

Easily one of my favorite cakes to date- Sweet Gems went above and beyond with this display of delicious artistry.

Heather changed into a second gown perfect for dancing the night away in the late night lounge.

Angela + Tom’s Wedding, Rancho Las Lomas, Silverado

Angela and Tom set out from the beginning of their planning experience to create a wedding that included many elements from Angela’s Indian heritage. Starting with the warm palette of red, orange, gold and bronze all the way through to the Ganesh statues incorporated into one of three centerpiece designs and the custom cake adorned with mehndi designs, the day was loaded with rich cultural details and touches. I appreciated their style and aesthetic, which made it exciting and fun for me to work with them as we developed the look and design of the day. I also adored their witty banter as a couple- Angela is an actress and comedienne, so needless to say she was never shy to come up with sassy and hilarious commentary. She definitely puts a sparkle in Tom’s eye (and vice versa, of course!). Jen and Jody (of Jen and Jody Photography) flew down from Seattle to capture the wedding with their cameras; here are my favorites from their recent blog sneak peek.

The girls…

… and the guys!

Angela’s Uncle flew all the way from India to walk her down the aisle!
