It was so wonderful to help bring the bride’s vision to life… Once again, I had the privilege of collaborating on the design with the talented floral design Jennifer Cole Florals. Then we brought in the rental elements with APR Fine Event Rentals to help pull it all together to create this elegant and romantic blush garden style wedding.read more
Here’s a stunning highlight film by ByDesign Films of Nicole & Brandon’s classic elegance meets luxury and fun wedding at the prestigious Fairmont Grand Del Mar Resort in San Diego, CA.
These two love birds seriously stole my heart. This wedding video by Aqua Vivus brought me to tears. I adore this sweet loving couple. I was truly honored to be a part of the beautiful special day.
Super gracious, very fashionable & stylish, and truly beautiful (inside and out) are just a few words I could use to describe this power couple (Misha & Cecil). I was so excited to get the wonderful opportunity to work with them to create their chic Great Gatsby inspired dream wedding. They found me through seeing some of my work at the Prado Balboa Park where I designed and planned a Gatsby inspired themed weddingfor another couple in 2014 (Jennifer & Chad)and they had pretty much decided I was “There girl” (wedding planner) before meeting me in person. I was so honored of course! They too really loved the Gatsby inspired theme, so we created their chic Gatsby themed wedding with their unique spin on the design. You can see more of the Gatsby design elements in the reception details in Part 2 “The Celebration/Reception” blog post.read more

MANDY & JAMIE ~ LOVE AT FIRST BLUSH PART 1
{PRE-CEREMONY & CEREMONY}
I was beyond thrilled when Mandy reached out to me and asked me (Monarch Weddings) to be her wedding coordinator. She is not only absolutely stunning, she has the sweetest personality and such a warm kind spirit. Jamie (Groom) is equally as handsome as she is pretty and too was a total sweetheart. If you spend any amount of time with these two sweet lovebirds, you get the sense that they are kindred spirits from another time or place, soul mates that compliment one another on every level.
When we met and started talking about her design aesthetics, she shared with me that she was inspired by the movie a “Midnight in Paris” and the scenes from the 1920’s in Paris, so it seemed a natural fit for her to select the beautiful Parisian designed Westgate Hotelin downtown San Diego. The stunning Versailles Ballroom with it’s gold gilded walls and opulent crystal chandeliers set the stage and was the perfect backdrop for her design theme. Rich luxurious textiles and patterns in soft romantic warm colors complimented her choice of blush, ivory and gold color pallet. She selected the extremely talented San Diego floral designer Karen Tran to create the beautiful floral masterpieces. The Versailles ballroom was the site for the glamorous ceremony and reception. It was a unique setup in-which we had the couple getting married on a white circular custom dancefloor by Platinum Pro that displayed a custom filigree monogram logo design by J Grace Luxury Event Stationery. The guests were seated around the danceflloor all facing the center of the dancefloor where the couple were standing – there was an awesome views from every seat in the ballroom. After the ceremony, the guests were invited to join the cocktail reception in the Westgate Foyerwhile we worked diligently to flip the room for the reception.read more
