What A Wedding! blog: July 2008

Marrisa & Raul

I've been so lucky to work with a number of great couples... and now Marissa and Raul are added to the list. This beautiful bride and handsome groom were married at the Administration Courtyard Lawn (Balboa Park East Mesa) and held their reception at the Admiral Baker Clubhouse. The black and deep red color scheme created a romantic feel for their Spanish-themed wedding. Everything was absolutely beautiful as you can see in these amazing photos taken by Carrie McCluskey Photography http://www.mccluskeyphotography.com/ (click photo to enlarge).

A few of my favorite details were the table names (which were titled with different cities in Spain), the favor fans (which added to the Spanish flair) and the bridesmaids dresses (they were so cute and could definitely be worn again for another dressy event).

Lashee & Tarin

Lashee and Tarin were married at the Doubletree Golf Resort in Rancho Penasquitos. The black, white and red color scheme worked very well together. The weather was absolutely perfect and so was the wedding day!

Magazine Photo Shoot

Today I had the fantastic opportunity to participate in a tablescape photo shoot for San Diego Style Weddings magazine (http://www.sandiegostyleweddings.com/). Wedding coordinators that advertise in the magazine were paired with florists to create a table design that will be featured in the latest edition coming out this Fall. I worked with florist, Paula Rae Anderson, of Rae Florea (http://www.raeflorae.com/) and we had such a fun time merging our different styles and creativity. Ultimately, we came up with a table that turned out even better than we imagined!

Below is a (very) sneak peak "teaser" picture showing one of the details used in decorating our table. However, to see the table in its entirety, you'll have to wait until the new edition comes out this October. So be sure to pick it up!

Laura & Brett

Laura and Brett were such a great couple to work with. Not only do they make such a cute pair... but they have such fun personalities. The two were married at the Bernardo Winery and, do to the love for their 4-legged "children", they chose to have their 2 dogs play the role of "ring-canine" and "flower-canine". Unfortunately these 2 furry firends weren't invited to stay for the reception. So, they were picked up and taken home by a great little company called Fetch! Pet Care.

A fun touch to Laura and Brett's wedding was that they decided not to have plated meals, a buffet or food stations. Instead they wanted more mingling and movement to occur at their reception. So they selected to have ALL hand-passed hor'dourves throughout the night. Additionally, the couple went with a variety of mini sweet treats as the dessert selection for thier guests to enjoy!
