Del Mar Hilton Bridal Show

This month I participated in the Del Mar Hilton Bridal show, sponsored by All Wed Sites. The show had a great turnout of vendors, and was held on a beautifully sunny day.

I met some wonderful couples and enjoyed talking to them about their wedding plans!

Here are some images from my booth with Grand Floral, Moira Ink, Classic Party Rentals, and the uplighting was borrowed from THE Creative Music DJ. Conveniently our booths were right next to each other, so I used his power and I pipe and draped a backdrop for both of us, provided by White Wedding Day Events. It was a great day and I am lucky to know some fantastic vendors that were happy to help out on such a gorgeous table!

Summer Wrap Up

What a summer! Many many weddings and events to share, but I will just take a cue from my dear friend Iliana Morton Photography and do a recap!

Let's begin with June, shall we?
The first wedding of the month was for Jessica and Justin's wedding at Miramar Officers Club.
The ceremony was held outside on the lawn in front of an arch made by a groomsman which we hand draped in flowing satin and crystals.
This wedding was big on family members with all 3 of Jessica's sisters serving as part of their 16 person bridal party!
The celebration included tons of dancing and fun!

Next up was Lucy and Patrick and their Dana Point wedding!
They are the sweetest couple! And even gave us a referral earlier in the year when Lucy's brother Sam got engaged!

The next June wedding was Heather and Anthony's Jamul wedding at a private estate.
They took their 2 favorite things, their friends, and their love of San Diego sports, and created a fun celebration!

The very next day was Heather and Tim's wedding at Oceanside Marina Inn
where they were engaged, ww had a great time at this intimate family and close friends celebration. The couple focused on the blending of their two families and their lives. It was a beautiful sunny day at the shore!

The next day, Vivienne and Yian celebrated their one year anniversary! They recently had a son, so that was the greatest gift they could give each other! See photos from their Grand Tradition Wedding.

The next event in July was Eric and Alisa's Levyland wedding.
Photographed by the amazing Leif Brandt, this was truly a day to remember!

The next weekend, we did a new type of event, Inspired Events had their first show at Vin de Syrah in downtown San Diego, and we teamed up with some great local professionals to do this amazing table.

Next up, Amy helped out the Escondido High Class of 91 with their 20 year reunion at Harrah's Rincon. It was a great party and we can't wait for Class of 92's reunion!

On to August!
First up Brooke and Ben celebrated an intimate Cuvier Park Wedding and had a dinner reception at their brand new home. Such a day full of love!

Next up we did a secret Inspiration Shoot with the amazing Eddie Garcia! Those pics will be available to peek soon.

Then comes Labor Day! We celebrated with Katie and Orrin at their Carmel Mountain Country Club Wedding. Im still waiting on pics from Your Inner Song, and I know they will be amazing and well worth the wait!

Keep in mind, all these events were around new couple meetings, venue walk throughs, driving to Orange County for rehearsals, etc! Such a busy summer!

We were lucky to work with Iliana Morton not one, not two, but 3 times in September!!
And this is, I believe, one of both of our favorite images from the summer. Such a beautiful day of love, despite the rain, having to move the ceremony indoors, and some music mishaps. But overall, it was a wonderful, fun day of love and laughter!

The next week we headed to Las Vegas for the Wedding MBA. We learned a lot in the seminars, had a great time connecting with local pros, and spent more time with San Diego vendors!
It was so fun and we can't wait to do it again next year!

Wrapping up the September weddings with Louanne and Pj's Balboa Park Wedding.
Louanne is Jessica's sister.(from June) So I am quite close with this fabulous group of ladies!
They wanted to wow their guests big time, and despite some venue issues requiring a very last minute change, replacing the DJ, videographer, and photographer in the last week before the wedding, it turned out Fabulous!! Exactly what they wanted!

Still waiting on pro pics, but you can see all the ones I took HERE!
Also, their highlight video is HERE!

and their Live Mixed First Dance Thanks to DJ Dennis J for really stepping in and giving them a night to remember!

Finally, after much waiting and anticipation... Our tablescape for San Diego Style Weddings Magazine was released in the latest issue.

And that is it! In addition to booking new couples for 2012, mixers, meetings and timelines, it has been incredibly busy around here! Thank you!!!!

Happy Wedding Day Louanne and PJ!!

This couple is all about the surprise factor! "How can we surprise our guests at our wedding and reception?" Oh they will!! They have planned every ounce of fun they can for their friends and family. As they marry at the Casa Del Prado patio and celebrate at the Bay View Room, it will be an emotional and fun time! They have worked so hard on every single minute detail of this day, it will all be worth it! Be sure to visit our Facebook Page to see the photos soon!

Retro style weddings are making a come back and we love them. When picking a venue for a retro wedding you only have to make sure that the look isn't too modern. If you come from a family with a lot of heirlooms this is a perfect way to show case them and decorate your venue at the same time. Milk glass is a perfect fit for a retro wedding as well as using a pale turquoise and raspberry palette, as well as old table runners and hanging lanterns. The couple can arrive and drive off in a classic car to keep the theme going. Brides can find vintage wedding dresses at second hand shops that specialize in older gowns. For more ideas or a retro themed wedding of your own contact us today!

Unique Wedding Tables

We've all seen the basic wedding table, chargers under the plates, flowers in the middle and a favor for the guest to take home. However, we love to take a ordinary table set and turn it into a beautiful arrangement. If you are having a themed wedding you can carry that theme right to your table. Be sure not to overload your table but make sure it doesnt look unfinished either. A creative and unique table will brighten the room and keep your wedding theme in everyones mind.

Outdoor Weddings

Summer weddings pratically beg to be held outside. With eco friendly and whimsical weddings trending an outdoor wedding fits right in the mix. There are endless options of locations for an outdoor wedding. EX. The beach, parks, vineyards and even private gardens. be sure to get permits if you are planning on having a beach or park wedding. When planning a outdoor wedding keep the lighting in mind. Outdoor lanterns give a whimsical feeling. Another thing to keep in mind is heating. Once the sun goes down it tends to get cold. If you dont want guests to leave you will want to keep them warm and comfortable so place portable heaters arounds the reception.

If you are located in San Diego here are a few places for outdoor weddings:

Japanese Friendship Gardens

La Jolla Coves

Temecula Wine Country

Balboa Park
