Ryan and Eric Pro Pics Sneak Peak

Just a few weeks ago I worked on this wedding with Julie Scrivener of The Best Wedding for You and True Photography and the Pro Pics just came in.  I am currently waiting for the file to download, it takes a while when trying there are so many beautiful images, but I couldn't wait to share just a few...

Can't wait to share more!!!

Ryan and Eric US Grant

I can't wait to get the professional pictures back from this wedding but for now these phone pictures will have to do.  Ryan was such a gorgeous bride and she and her mom did a great job at designing every detail of this wedding.  Here are the floral centerpieces...

 The head table was a long feasting table decorated with 2 tall centerpieces and a line of various height vases and candles.

 The ceremony was illuminated with candles to create a gorgeous glow.

Each centerpiece was a mixture of hydrangea, roses, lisianthus, stock and blush peonies.

Sarah and Ben

This one was at the Japanese Friendship Garden in Balboa Park and we used cherry blossoms...love!!!

Kari and David Coronado Yacht Club

I had the pleasure of being part of 2 weddings this past weekend and both were so fun to create.

The first one was Kari and David who got married at the Coronado Cays Yacht Club and the theme was rustic but elegant.  I created adorable 5x5 square arrangements in wooden boxes filled with white hydrangea, mini green hydrangea, billy balls, monkey tails, curly willow, white stock and white delphinium.  The aisle chairs were accented with bunches of curly willow and green flowers while the arch had 2 arrangements of all the flowers.  Oh and one of my favorite parts...the cocktail tables were short mason jars lined in lemon sliced and topped with hydrangea, yellow freesia and green button mums.

Everything was so fresh and clean with a touch of rustic...just perfect.

The above pictures are pictures I took after setting up the wedding.  BUUUUTTTTT, as a special treat I snagged one from the photographers facebook "sneak peak".  The amazing Cole Joseph took this beautiful picture...

Aren't they the cutest?!?!?!  I can't wait to see all the rest!!!

Style Shoot

I was so excited to be part of a style shoot designed and beautifully executed by Courtney of After the Engagement and photography by the always wonderful Melissa McClure Photography.  They are 2 of my very favorite vendors to work with and it all turned out so beautiful. Courtney did such a great job with the styling and all her ideas were fresh and cool. I am now convinced that every bride should were a corsage! 

First here are the words of the mastermind behind all this gorgeousness, Courtney...

I am SO THRILLED to finally be able to publish these delightful pictures from Melissa McClure Photography from a photoshoot I designed and styled. I am SO grateful for all the vendors who participated- I only gave them about 10 days notice- eek!! When Backstage Bridal Pro announced their scholarship contest, I knew I wanted to enter! I really did start with just the black dress and the “Fabulous and Graceful” guidelines. Then came the ballerina idea once I saw that ridiculously cool dress on Nordstrom’s website. One of the most exciting parts was getting the bride’s black gown custom made by D’Marie Bridal Couture . I absolutely love that even though it is black and completely non-traditional, she still looks every bit a bride. 

 Thank you to all these wonderful vendors, I couldn’t have done it without each of you! To my models for being awesome, I love you- My Assistant Mitzi, my little Tot Billy, the beautiful Macyn and her buddy, and the ringbearer, the ever-so-adorable Walter!!
