Danielle & Jared : A Winter Wonderland

What do you get when you pair a live painter…a champagne tower…a vintage sleigh and an indoor snow fall…? One of the most fabulously glamorous Hotel Del Coronado weddings of the year! This winter-wonderland wedding literally had it all!

Blush dupioni silk paired with a rich lace and merlot accenting was the perfect backdrop to the dramatic palette and detailed floral textures. The sparkle of glittering crystal candelabras surrounded by lush, low floral centerpieces and layers of candlelight were scattered throughout tall, impressive floral centerpieces atop traditional gold stands. The head table boasted large centerpieces clustered with low, crystal candelabras featuring tall taper candles and golden candlelight. A festive ambiance was created with the movie “It’s a Wonderful Life” softly played in the background and custom ornaments were given out to each guest.

An Enchanted Beach Engagement Dinner

We were over the moon when our bride-to-be, Cicely, hired us to design every detail of her amazing and intimate beach engagement dinner at the iconic Hotel Del Coronado beach. Because this was a destination event and we were not going to be meeting our lovely bride until the day of her event, we began by creating a style board and sketch for her soft pale blush, pink, fresh green, rose gold and soft blue fête so that she could visualize our ideas for her. We brought in a soft pale blue linen and paired it with rose gold flatware, an ivory hemstitch napkin with a custom dupioni silk napkin treatment, lush florals, rose gold faceted lanterns, vintage ivory ceramic plates, wood chairs and a dramatic wood canopy overhead. The result was simply fabulous.

Eliza & Jason – A Garden Wedding on the Beach

These details have stolen our heart. We are so in love with this wedding, with each detail designed, perfectly executed and planned by the incredible talent at Luxe Events and captured by the ever-so-gracious, Bryan Miller Photography. Is there anything better than a wedding set against the backdrop of the ocean at the iconic beach of the Hotel Del Coronado? We think not. Each element of this soft cream, white and green wedding was accented by rich, textural foliage and white blooms. Centerpieces and bouquets overflowed with fragrant garden roses, hellebores, passion vine, ranunculus, peonies and over ten varieties of foliage throughout. Large wood canopy structures were accented with climbing foliage and natural garden blooms, creating the soft, garden-feel and long, wood banquet tables boasted large, full arrangements and clusters of candlelight. The result: pure romantic perfection, take a look!

Abby & Chris : A Rainy Day at the Del

Ready… Set… SWOON! This wedding truly took our breath away. It was POURING rain the day of this dreamy wedding, but you wouldn’t be able to tell from the lovely feel of the ballroom.

Our fabulous bride Abby came to us with a color scheme of ivory and gold in mind and together, we transformed the large ballroom space at the iconic Hotel Del Coronado into a soft and glamorous wonderland of ivory, cream and light gold with splashes of fresh green and subtle pops of black. We chose a soft ivory linen topped with a delicate gold lace overlay and paired them with light gold napkins. To bring in the black, we designed custom velvet napkin embellishments and subtle candle holder wrapping complete with a rhinestone brooch. Clusterings of mercury glass, gold and mirrored mediums were paired along the table, adding texture and dimension from candle holders to platforms and vases. Tall, shaped glass cylinders and regal gold candelabras were accented by dripping crystal pendants and large, lush and loose florals in shades of ivory, cream, white and fresh green.

Larissa & Peter – Vintage Hotel Del Perfection

We are sort of speechless when it comes to this one. Not only were L & P absolutely amazing to work with (and gorgeous!) but the team and design concepts that the lovely ladies of Luxe Events put together could not have been more magical. Jenny Minns (co-owner of Luxe Events) dreamt up a vintage ceremony scene, complete with a mahogany wood church pew entrance and a custom built wood platform holding a large vintage doorway set as the wedding archway. We kicked the dreamy scene up a notch with lush and cascading florals. Dripping hopps vines were paired with garden roses, hydrangea, spray roses, lisianthus, garlands and other like blooms to make this scene something truly spectacular. The gorgeous beach at the Hotel Del Coronado was the perfect backdrop to this beauty!

A slight nautical nod was carried throughout the reception, including soft gray and ivory striped linens paired with vintage wood tables. Our distressed wood stands were the perfect pairing to the highly stylized work that the ladies of Luxe Events produced.

note: all photographs not watermarked by the awesome True Photography were done by the very talented B. Miller Photography.

Jenny & Karch : A Garden Rancho Santa Fe Estate Wedding

What a color palette! What a view! What a vendor team! We are swooning over this dreamy backyard wedding set in the quaint hills of Rancho Santa Fe, California. Huge thanks to Josh Elliot Studios for these awesome detail shots! It was such a pleasuring teaming up with Alicia and Michele (aka the talent behind Before I Do Events) who designed each beautiful detail to perfection! Vibrant hues of peach, blush, green and coral were paired resulting in absolute MAGIC!

J carried a gorgeous garden-style bridal bouquet of garden roses, dahlias, hellebores, clematis, stock, veronica and other like blooms.

The adorable flower girls wore delicate halos of babies breath and carried whimsical floral wands.

The ceremony took place at the beautiful Inn at Rancho Santa Fe, were we constructed a custom 8ft cross and accented it with hopps vines and delicate blooms including dahlias and garden roses. Large entry arrangements were placed atop urns and deep wood stained pedestals. Large hopps vines draped to the ground, where they were complimented by ivory pillar candles of varying heights and sizes.

The reception was simply breath-taking. Dramatic 60ft garlands were strung across the reception, complimented by glowing market lights. Faceted rose gold lanterns of differing heights and sizes were hung from the lush garlands, complimented by dripping vine chandeliers. The fabulous fireplace was dressed head-to-toe in lush foliage and blooms, accented by glowing candlelight. The ladies of Before I Do Events picked olive green goblets to be paired with textured wood tables (by Farm Tables and More) and delicately textured ivory fabric runners and napkins from La Tavola Linen.

Cocktail hour was simply stunning, with not a detail overlooked by Alicia and Michele, even a custom escort card display!

A HUGE thank you to the team at Before I Do Events for inviting us to play on this one! We had a blast!

Elena & Felipe : A Gatsby Inspired Fête

Oohh la la! We absolutely adored designing this fabulous Gatsby-inspired affair for E & F! Dramatic black accents were paired with soft creams and bold, antique gold tones to create an old-world feel. The bride carried an ultra glamorous and fragrant bouquet of peonies, garden roses, gardenias and glittering brooches.

The reception was studded with large, spraying arrangements of various roses, hydrangea, orchids and fluffy feathers. Traditional gold candelabras were finished in glittering crystal strands and pendants placed atop our custom ivory and mirrored platforms.

Ashley & Rick : Vibrant Beach-Side Wedding

This dreamy beach-side wedding featured fun, vibrant centerpieces, color-blocked and dripping with garden vines. Our bride loved the idea of adding some sparkle to her bridal bouquet, boasting a glittering brooch and textured pink duping silk wrapping. Peonies were certainly the guest of honor, both in the bouquets and throughout the wedding florals. Flowers were created in a full spectrum of greens and pinks ranging from fuchsia to blush and apple green to deep forest hues. Our custom draped wood canopy structure was accented by a glamorous crystal chandelier.

Jessica & Greg : Floral Walls at the Hard Rock Hotel

This gorgeous wedding was an absolute labor of love for us. Our fabulous bride, J, wasn’t sure if she wanted to go with a classic, timeless design or whether she wanted to up the drama with a little unique twist. Luckily for us, she chose a unique twist and we couldn’t be more thrilled about it! The ceremony was set against our custom floral wall backdrop complete with dramatic, dripping centerpieces. The reception was filled with tall, stunning florals accented by cascading greens, orchids and glittering Swarovski crystal pendants and strands. Simply spectacular!
