Real Weddings: Carrie & Derek = Magic In Malibu!

April 13, 2008 – 10:19 am

Last week I was off to Malibu for a beach side ceremony and reception at the charming Malibu West Beach Club for Carrie & Derek. This radiant and loving couple, both from Boston, wanted two very important things for their nuptuals……A central location for their families and an intimate wedding on the beach in California! Carrie’s brother lovingly officiated the ceremony and it really gave the ceremony an emotional touch. Saturday, the weather was just right and the bride and groom were elated to have their family and friends travel as far as Boston & New Zealand. I gotta say, I thoroughly enjoyed all the accents in the air and there is something about that Kiwi Lingo! Love it!

I always have a great time working with the talented Trista Lerit of Trista Lerit Photography. WOW! As you can see for yourself, her images are breathtaking and she really captures the essence of the day! Every chance I get to work with her, I am inspired! Flower Allie Weddings provided the floral decor and together with the dazzling details, Carrie & Derek’s vision came to life.

We had a great team and I want to thank Monrose Catering for providing the tasty food and excellent service and DJ Eric of So Cal DJs for the fierce uplighting and keeping that dance floor packed!! The cake was a tasty treat by Sarah of For the Love of Sugar.

Carrie & Derek, I hope you are enjoying your honeymoon! Thank you for letting me help you create the wedding of your dreams! Cheers to many years of laughter, joy & happiness!

Real Weddings: Katie & Kam = Double Happiness

August 31, 2007 – 10:46 am

Two Ceremonies and a Big Reception! What an Amazing Celebration! We started the morning early with a tea ceremony and an amazing hosted lunch at Katie’s family home. At 9:00am it was nearly reaching 90 degrees and guess who was ALL smiles and glowing? You guessed it! Katie and Kam! The gowns were absolutely stunning! Katie looked breathtaking and the fun started when Kam and his men arrived to go through the traditional games by the bridal party. I LOVED the giggles, the banter, and the pure JOY and admiration that filled the morning air! The Tea Ceremony was followed by the Western Ceremony at the Crowne Plaza. I had my fantastic OC’s Finest Team, Brianna & Caitlyn there to assist and I couldn’t have done it without them. A lot of logistics and they were my right and left arm! (Thanks girls). The reception followed in a gorgeously lit ballroom with spectacular ochid pot centerpieces, and a lavish backdrop. Flowers were done by the talented Kim Chi and I loved how the room pulled together! The night was ever eventful as there were amaznig performances, a tango dance by Katie and her father, and a scrumptious looking White Chocolate Fountain. YUUUUM!! I also had the pleasure to work with the oober talented Trista Lerit who captured the loving essence of the entire day and did not miss a beat! She is a true artist and I have been dreaming to do a wedding with her for a long time….she lived up to that spectacular reputation! Love her! She quickly shared with me her sneak peeks! Thank you Trista! You are a Rockstar! Enjoy!
