Lots of love to Lisa and Mark as they celebrate their one-year anniversary. Their wedding last year at Pelican Hill was a fun-filled occasion, and I’m sure their anniversary will follow suit!

This is an EXTRA special anniversary for Jenny and Kevin who tied the knot one year ago today on a gorgeous day filled with lots of love at the Resort at Pelican Hill. Not only are they going to be celebrating their first year of marriage, but they will be celebrating the fact that they’ll be welcoming a new addition to their family this summer. A baby boy! I am so, so , so happy for them- congrats:)

Happy Anniversary, Christine + Richard

Christine and Richard have been married for one year today! Their gorgeous Resort at Pelican Hill wedding was a highlight of last year- we had an incredible time planning together, and the day came together so seamlessly. Congrats to the two of them, and here’s to all the wonderful years together yet to come.

Happy Anniversary, Maria + Anton and Min + Jason

Where did April go? Seriously- as the days zoom by I become more and more in awe of the speed at which life passes by. And the month came and left without a proper shout out to two wonderful couples that celebrated their first year of marriage together. So here’s sending lots of love (although it belated:) ) to Maria and Anton, whose rich in culture Resort at Pelican Hill wedding took place on a gorgeous sunny Spring day much like those we’ve been enjoying lately.

And Min and Jason-such a sweet couple with an even sweeter wedding day at Greystone Mansion.

I am thrilled that they were included in the ‘Real Weddings’ section. Check it out for yourself HERE. And stay tuned over the next few months- you’re going to see quite a bit of us on newsstands near you. My lips are sealed- you’ll have to wait!

Lisa + Mark’s Wedding, The Resort at Pelican Hill

Lisa and Mark had a lovely, intimate wedding at the gorgeous Resort at Pelican Hill. I adored that the wedding was a genuine reflection of the two of them- a real celebration of their union shared with their closest friends and family. You could tell it was everything they wanted it to be by the giddy grins on both of their faces the whole day. And not just their faces, but their guest’s faces as well. Everyone was so happy to be there to share in the occasion, and it made the day (and evening) all the more enjoyable. Thanks to the dynamic duo of Rog and Lyndzee (of EP Love Photography) for photographing the day (and for being all-around cool people).

Seeing as both Lisa and Mark are in the fashion industry, their ring shot was very fitting.

Jenny + Kevin’s Resort at Pelican Hill Wedding, Revisited

What’s more perfect on a cool winter day than a look back at a sunny and warm June wedding? Even if you caught Kevin and Jenny’s gorgeous Pelican Hill wedding the first time around, below lies even more beauty and fun than you could have imagined. Thanks to Christine Farah Photography (as always) for being the photographical genius that she is.

Jenny + Kevin, The Resort at Pelican Hill

Jenny and Kevin are two peas in a pod- so much so, that they decided to run with that fact and incorporate it in many elements of their wedding day. I definitely enjoyed working with them to plan their Big Day, not only because of their creative ideas and willingness to do anything and everything unique and different, but also because they are so much fun and incredibly sweet. Crissy with Christine Farah Photography totally rocked the socks off the Resort at Pelican Hill that day. Enjoy a glimpse at the day through her lense!

We were very lucky to have Nisie leading the charge on flowers- she never ceases to amaze me with her designs.

Jenny DIY’ed all of her paper details; everything from the Save the Date’s and invitations, to the programs and menus, were handcrafted with love.

Wowzers! Jenny was simply stunning all day long thanks to Katie Vollmer. And I was a big fan of her chic Pronovias gown, which she had customized into a one-of-a-kind design.

Kevin looking sharp and ever so much the groom.

Their ‘first look’ included a few happy tears.

Yeah- I would say they were a pretty fun group. Can you tell?

Our fearless doggie ring bearer Guinness- such a good boy!

Kevin and Jenny chose to include three signature drinks during their cocktail hour- shown here are two of them; ‘Jenny’s Pink Passion’ and ‘Kevin’s Blue Steel’. So cute!

I snuck the newlyweds into Mar Vista for a quick peek at the reception; after gazing around the room and taking it all in, they got right to work practicing their choreographed first dance.

The piece de resistance was the place ‘card’ (really flower) display. Nisie brought in moss filled boxes that we then stuck the flowers with name tags on them into. The name tags even contained two little seeds to represent ‘peas in a pod’, which guests could then plant after the wedding. Jenny designed and made all of the flowers as well- I adore her for it!

The ballroom was a clean, crisp mix of white charmeuse linens, white florals (predominantly dendrobium orchids) accented by aqua water, fruitwood chiavaris, and blush uplighting.

Two (married) peas in a pod!

One of my favorite ideas that Jenny and Kevin came up with, was to provide guests with party props (masks, boas, hats, glow necklaces, etc.) later on in the evening after the dancing had gotten well underway. We coordinated the reveal of the dessert buffet with Kevin and Jenny leading a parade of sorts from an adjoining room, followed by their wild wedding party, wearing the props while handing them out to guests. So.Much.Fun!! Jenny even did her bouquet toss and the garter toss with giant pink glasses and a pink cowboy hat on- my kind of girl!!

To end an amazing night- the couple opted to offer an elaborate dessert buffet (in collaboration with the amazing resident Master Pastry Chef Frederic Monnet and the Pelican Pastry team), which provided guests with an indulgent variety of Kevin and Jenny’s favorite sweet treats, many in the theme and colors of the wedding.
