Bride & Bloom Feature : Real Wedding : Rich and Sarah

We're thrilled that one of our weddings has been featured in the current Bride & Bloom magazine!

We planned, designed and did the florals for Rich's and Sarah's wedding in 6 weeks! Yes, you read that correctly. One month and a half!

A photo of the venue taken on the day of the wedding by Adam from Embrace Life Photography made it into the table of contents.

We absolutely love the photo in the story - Isn't Nathan adorable?

We made those little mustaches out of felt material.

Introducing Mr. and Mrs. Lopez!

We did so many neat things for the ceremony like a 360 degree (circle) seating - the bride and groom were truly surrounded by their guests. We also created gorgeous modern florals! (Thanks to both Gerry's and Lou from Amador Events for all their hard work on that day!)

We also created a custom Mr. and Mrs. Banner - which worked out nicely as a photo prop and we added it to the back of their seats for dinner.

Sarah insisted on having personalized Jones Sodas - and boy are we glad she had them.

We wanted an interactive wedding so we hired Silhouettes by Nancie. We had Nancie cut 2 silhouettes per person, one was for the guest to keep and the second was used for the guestbook.

Josh Vietti - Surprised the guests with a very special performance during dinner. The little angels (all the kids and babies) surrounded him and danced to his lovely strings.

Finally to end the night we created a delicious dessert station, guests enjoyed wedding cake, mango mousse, chocolate covered strawberries, red velvet cupcakes, cream puffs and much more!

We hope you enjoyed this preview. Stay tuned - we will go into greater depth and will post full length pictures in our next posting on this lovely affair.

Bernadette & Burl : The Mission Inn Wedding : October 9, 2010

We had the pleasure of coordinating Burl & Burls wedding in October at the beautiful Mission Inn in Riverside, California. The chapel and building are very romantic and the architecture makes this one very popular wedding venue.

Enjoy photos from their special day:

Burl loves Mac - and Bernadette!

The Bridesmaids dressed were stunning!

Love this photo!

The gorgeous bride!

The chapel is simply grand!

Our favorite part of the wedding was the surprise dance they prepared for their guests!

Congratulations to the Mr. and Mrs.

Real Wedding: Andrew and Kortney: Aliso Creek Inn: October 1

Andrew and Kortney found us on the Aliso Creek Inn preferred vendor list.

When we found out we also shared our doggies in common, Dachshunds, they knew I was meant to coordinate their special day.

They were such a sweet couple to work with and we enjoyed working with their all-star team.

The Photos Below are from the very talented Lane Dittoe - Enjoy!

I love her bouquet!

I love the grooms expression as he waits for his bride.

Kortney had collected her own blue glass for all the centerpieces - which looked lovely!

Turquoise, Blue and White paper lanterns were hung everywhere.

All-white lounge furniture, bar and dance floor created a modern feel.

Festival lights were used to highlight the reception.

Love these shots of the Mr. and Mrs.

Yummy dessert station!

At the end of the night guests were treated to In-N-Out - needless to say it was a huge hit.

Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Morrow!

Real Wedding: Amber and Chris : Lake Forest, CA

We were lucky to coordinate Amber and Chris's wedding on August 07, 2010.

The event was held at a private venue in Lake Forest, California.

My favorite part of their wedding was when Chris the groom sang a special song to Amber. It was so sweet! The other really fun thing that happened was that they had Karaoke towards the end of the night - it was a huge hit!

Enjoy Photos Courtesy of Chloe Atnip!

I think we can all agree that Amber is gorgeous!

I love how in love these two are!

Congrats you two!
