Congratulations Anne Hathaway!

I've always been a fan of Anne Hathaway. She was always a young woman in Hollywood whom I've always loved how she carried herself. 

So I was so excited to see that she married her love, jeweler, Adam Shulman! I hate blurry pictures, but this is all that was captured for now...but this wedding was on the D-L. Big secret, big wedding (approx. 180 guests).

Anne wore what looked like a very classic off-the shoulder Valentino gown. Her veil was the most dramatic being a very billowy and long veil! Gorgeous! Anne looked absolutely gorgeous! I'm sure Adam was floored when he saw his bride for the first time. 

Congratulations to the newlyweds....now, waiting for the next secret wedding to be revealed...who do you think it'll be?

Caleb + Kristin {Real Wedding}

I can't wait to share more photos of them gem of a wedding! Kristin and Caleb were married in Camarillo at Maravilla Gardens. I had a wonderful time planning this classic vintage wedding with these two. 

From the groomsmen's bowties and pom-poms thrown to begin the celebration, this wedding was a sweet, sweet dream! 

Check out a few of the sneak peaks from Michelle Johnson Photography and don't forget to come back to see the rest! 

 

One of my favorites! Love these two!

Mr. & Mrs. Scarth

Congratulations Caleb and Kristin!

Dallas + Michelle {Real Wedding}

Dallas and Michelle were married last weekend and boy was it a grand fete! These two are truly an amazing pair and it was wonderful to help them plan their September 8th event that was filled with a tugboat, Tennessee southern folk, and non-stop dancing. In the meantime, enjoy their personal photos by Jen Simon of Fondly Forever. Love, Love, LOVE!

Mr. & Mrs. Lynn

Congratulations to Mr. & Mrs. Lynn!

Stay tuned for more photos and the long list of amazing vendors that made this day so special for them.

Allison & Lowell Married

I love receiving wedding photos from my next weddings! Even though post-wedding day my feet are begging for a break, I love reliving the full day through photos! 

Check out Allison and Lowell's gorgeous wedding at Marvimon House in downtown LA! This LA/Texan-infused fete is hard to forget. From the signature Moscow Mules drinks served in copper mugs to the custom floating acrylic flower beds that hung over the dinner tables, this was a fete to definitely remember!

Allison got her hair and make-up done by Fiore Beauty

This is one of my favorite photos from the day. Allison with her Grandmother

Hannah & Eric- Nixon Library {sneak peek}

This past weekend was not only blazing hot, but it was also Hannah and Eric's big day! I met Hannah and Eric back in February and they were always so lovely to work with while we planned for their big day. 

Hannah and Eric chose The Richard Nixon Library Museum for their wedding reception and ceremony and boy is that venue beautiful! Everyone that walks through that venue always feels like they're walking through the White House and I agree (from what photos show me...I have yet to go to DC...I know....). With it's beautiful crystal chandeliers, rose garden, and 'COPTER, this venue is fabulous with a lot of history. 

Jen Roper captured the beautiful day and I'd like to share just a few with you until I receive the rest. Hope you enjoy and if you ever are in Orange County, tour the Museum, it's quite wonderful.

Real Weddings- Peyman and Sheree

I have a couple of posts of some of the past weddings I've worked on. This year has flown by so fast and at the same time I'm so thankful! 10 weddings/events have been planned this year! My numbers tripled from last year! True blessing indeed and I am forever greatful to have the honor to plan such amazing events. 

So back in September, two weddings happened. One in LA, at Smog Shoppe (which I'll talk about in my next post) and one in Laguna Niguel at the Ritz Carlton. Peyman and Sheree were a funny pair. They understood each other and they knew exactly what they wanted. 

Brian Leahy and his team captured the full romantics of this wedding! Styled by Nara Kwon (and a sweet friend of mine), the logistics/planning was laid down perfectly without a hitch :) 

Hope you enjoy these photos as much as I drooled over some of the prettiest captured moments. 

My favorite was this showstopper of a veil

Gorgeous day for a wedding!

Sheree made sure her party was ready to party

First dance song was by Nina Simone, which now happens to be one of my favs :)

These vases were made by Sheree and her bridesmaids! I love a good crafty team ;)

Blueberry Wedding Blog

I was browsing the blog world and came across a blog that posted one of my past weddings AND I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT IT! This wedding was also posted on JuneBug Weddings Blog. Thinking about this wedding brought back so many memories working with Tram and Greg! They were one of the sweetest and most adorable couple that met in Paris.

They were married at one of my favorite venues...the Vibiana. The Gazebo they were married under was a custom made gazebo that was designed for this wedding!

Check out the blog here and be sure to follow more of it because it's a super sweet blog.

Smog Shoppe Love

I'm so excited that Jenn and Vic's wedding will be featured in Wedding Chicks within the next month (which means any day now)! Their wedding was shot by the super duo, Sweet Monday (who I absolutely adore).

Jenn and Vic chose Smog Shoppe as their wedding venue of choice. Smog Shoppe is the urban sister of Marvimon filled with succulents to love and the most eclectic pieces you want to take home :)

Stay tuned my friends!

Sneak peek at The Ritz

This is all I get from Brian Leahy from Brian Leahy Photography of the September 4th wedding I coordinating and partially planned for Sheree and Peyman! They were a sweet and classic pair. The affair was definitely a show stopper, with designs by Nara Kwon. Can't wait to show you more photos...you'll have to settle for this pretty picture!

Beginning of September!

The beginning of September was a busy one. Back to back weekend weddings and boy were they lovely! 

Sheree and Peyman were married at The Ritz Carlton in Dana Point on September 4th. This wedding was the ultimate classic wedding. Romance was brewing throughout the whole day! Sheree and Peyman wanted soft colors paired with black and candles everywhere. They teamed with super duper designer (and sweet friend), Nara Kwon who exceeded their vision and beyond. I cannot wait to post pictured from this beautiful day! 

In the meantime, enjoy this beautiful photo of how I spent 20 hours of my day on September 4th :)

Jenn and Vic I met in January. From the beginning Jenn made me laugh. Her sense of humor I give an A++! They were still finalizing their venue, but one lucky venue was Smog Shoppe. Once they chose SS, my mind was racing with ideas. 8 months of planning came perfectly together on September 11th. The sweet girls of Sweet Monday captured all of the best photo-ops and I can't wait to share THESE with you :)

Sorry for the big gap in my posting. Never again will I desert you from yummy looking weddings anf ideas!

A sneak peak at Darlene and Ronnie

I will never go as long as I did without blogging! Oy! It's like being separated from a child :(

I've had a busy summer with a few weddings and it's not over yet! I have about 6 more to go! Who-hooo! 

Below are a couple photos from the last wedding I designed and planned for Darlene and Ronnie. Full Anthropologie inspiration. This was 5 months of awesome planning! These photos were taken by one of the guests. I cannot wait for the photos from the photographer, John Hong of John and Joseph Photography.  So enjoy these blog-worthy photos!
