Katie and Paul's Beach Wedding at the Ritz

Katie and Paul wanted to have their wedding at the gorgeous Ritz Carlton Dana Point so all their relatives from out of town could enjoy an elegant, Southern California wedding on the beach. The inspiration for Katie and Paul's beach wedding was tropical beach utilizing a color palette of white, blue and green.

Before the wedding, guests enjoyed a lovely rehearsal dinner at The Deck in Laguna Beach, beach volleyball and a run on the beach with the bride. 

Katie's bouquet consisted of perfect white orchids and roses and the bridesmaids carried bouquets with beautiful hydrangea, roses and tulips by Fresh Cut Floral Design. The ceremony was filled with gorgeous flowers hanging from above, and floating flowers in glass vases were placed along the aisle. Katie and Paul were married with the ocean as their backdrop, as well as gorgeous arrangements atop clear acrylic stands of orchids and hydrangea.

Katie and Paul's elegant reception was done in white and blue with silver and gold accents. 5-hour energy drink were tray-passed and guests danced all night long to J.B. Project Band's amazing music!

Rockabilly Wedding

The voice was just as important as the vision for Russ and Angela's wedding, which was inspired by country and rock music. Russ and Angela are both performers, not unlike country music icons Johnny Cash and June Carter, who served as part of the inspiration for their Rockabilly Wedding at The Casino in San Clemente. This gorgeous Spanish venue was built in 1937 and was modeled after the casino on Catalina Island.

Everything about Russ and Angela's wedding was unique and fun, from the amazing invitations by Details Design Studio to the Beer Ceremony. Found Rentals brought some perfect vintage pieces, including a heart-shaped marquee placed perfectly behind the bar. Inviting Occasion created lovely country-inspired floral arrangements using roses, tulips and daisies. 

24 Carrots Catering and Itty Bitty Sweets made sure all the guests were spoiled with beautiful delicacies all evening. The Kelly Rae Band performed during cocktail hour and The Trip, an incredible band out of Laguna Beach, rocked the party all night long! Russ played the guitar and Angela sang at the reception, making for such an intimate and unique experience. Congratulations Angela and Russ!

Tiffany and Russell's Ponte Winery Wedding

Tiffany and Russell wanted their wedding to be at the beautiful Ponte Winery in the heart of the Temecula Wine Valley. The winery is surrounded by 300 acres of gorgeous vineyards, lush gardens and rolling hills. This is an incredible venue for a wedding that I highly recommend!

Tiffany and Russell had a vision for their wedding that was "Luxe Meets Vintage" and that's exactly what we created for them. We found some amazing vintage pieces that we incorporated into the white, cream, yellow and grey color palette. Three Petals put together a beautiful bridal bouquet and gorgeous arrangements using Tiffany and Russell's colors. BG Designs created paper accessories that complimented the look perfectly.

Guests were treated to a fun and memorable reception with a photo booth by  SoCal Shutterbooth, adorable and delicious cupcakes by Itty Bitty Sweets, and an amazing caricture artist (Jennifer West) that people lined up for! People LOVE having their caricature done, especially when it's created by someone as talented as Jennifer! Thank you Coco Gallery for these beautiful photos!

The beautiful photos from The Grand Del Mar Wedding Experience are here! Thank you Boyd Harris! What an entertaining weekend at the Grand Del Mar. It was so great to see friends and be the guest for a change. The carnival was exactly what we all needed to unwind and share some laughs. 

There was a fortune teller, every vintage game you can imagine, sweets galore, a dunk tank and even a bouncy house! It's refreshing to feel like a kid again and good for the soul! The candy station by Candee by Sandee was absolutely adorable. I loved every bit of this party!
