    Congratulations Kristine and Ryan!

    What a wonderful Saturday night we had coordinating the lovely Kristine and Ryan's wedding at The Luxe Hotel on Sunset Blvd. The modern chic venue was the perfect location for such a gorgeous affair and Kristine did a fabulous job coming up with beautiful design concepts to accent the venue perfectly. How often do you see artichokes, sliced oranges, and squash in centerpieces? It worked perfectly and added such a splash of fun and modernism. Kristine and Ryan are such a sweet and loving couple and their guests had SO much energy! Two of our favorite moments were the roar of applause as Ryan made his way down the aisle to the altar and the uproar of cheer as Kristine and Ryan were pronounced husband and wife. A couple couldn't ask for better, more supportive friends. Congratulations you two - it was SO MUCH fun working with you and we wish you the very best!!

    Here are some of the photos taken by the wonderful Leah Lee of Leah Lee Photography. More of the detail shots to come! Our favorites are definitely the one of Kristine being escorted down the aisle, looking at Ryan & Ryan,standing at the altar looking back at Kristine as she makes her way down the aisle. Priceless!

    Spotlight on Absolute Love Photography

    This photo shoot was sent to us by our friend Brooke Spencer of Absolute Love Photography and we are happy to display it here on the blog because we're in love with the concept of the wedding. The ridiculously creative bride and groom took their guests back in time with a vintage themed event unlike any other - and it was captured beautiful by Absolute Love Photography. Beautiful work Brooke and thanks for sharing!

    Congratulations Donna and Zak!

    Congratulations to my very dear friends Donna and Zak! Their jaw-droppingly gorgeous wedding was held at 180-acre Nestldown Ranch in beautiful Los Gatos, California (near San Jose.) Donna and Zak were high school sweethearts and they carried the theme throughout. I absolutely love all the personal attention to detail that went into this wedding, from the paper airplane escort cards to the chalk board table signs and the copy of the "Cutest Couple" award from the highschool yearbook. Get a sneak peak of me as a bridesmaid in the girls shot. Such an honor! We wish Donna and Zak the very best in married life!!

    Gotta Love the Polka Spots!

    You might notice a trend on our blog toward polka dots, but what can I say? I LOVE them! I just think they are so timeless and wonderful and I love to see them used in new and interesting ways. So when I was cruising photographer Meg Perotti's blog and came across this fun and fabulous dress I was immediately hooked. Then I came across these unique and colorful bridesmaids dresses and now i'm even more in love. I just think it's so great that the obviously non-traditional bride had so much fun planning her special day. It seems like each of the bridesmaids chose her own dress and carried a bouquet in her favorite flower. The result was a vibrant mix that expresssed the individuality of each girl and the amazing creativity of the bride. Note the eclectic mix of suits on the groom's side as well. Amazing!!

    Congratulations Martha and John!

    All we can say is WOW! We had such a wonderful time coordinating Martha and John's beautiful Malibu wedding at the West Beach Club last week and it was truly amazing. The amount of thought and consideration that Martha and John gave to each of their guests was incredible. Guests were wined and dined with delicious wines and fabulous meals from the delectable Maison Catering (who we HIGHLY recommend) and Cody from Feet First Entertainment kept the dance floor packed all night. A coffee cart was brought in for late night lattes and espressos and late-night pizzas were even on standby. Guests went home with personal floral arrangements and a delicious macaroon from a friend of the bride's. The ceremony was gorgeous with a private beach as the backdrop. You can't do much better than that! :) And then the deck was transformed into a beautiful lounge lit up in candlelight once the sun went down.

    We have really enjoyed getting to know Martha and John. They are such a warm and fun-loving couple, and it doesn't hurt that Martha is ridiculously creative and can make her own wedding dress or that John is absolutely hilarious and can play a mean air guitar. Spend 5 minutes with this couple and you'll know that they are truly in love and it feels good just to be near them. Thanks for making us a part of your special day. It was wonderful!

    Here are some shots from the uber talented Heidi Ryder photography. The engagement shots she took of Martha and John can be seen below and the rest of the wedding photos can be seen by clicking here. Heidi, these are gorgeous!
