We love this feature almost as much as we loved working with the fabulous vendor team of Crown Weddings, True Photography and the Park Hyatt Aviara!!! Click here or on the image below to see the feature:
We are flipping over the images of this gorgeous wedding (and great looking couple!) thanks to She Wanders Photography! Pink/glam was the theme for this stunning soiree, and the ladies of Luxe Events took that concept and ran with it flawlessly. A soft, garden feel was chosen for the ceremony followed by a glam reception dripping in Swarovski crystals and delicate lace.
The bride chose to carry a glittering bouquet of dripping white orchids and soft blush and pink blooms, complete with a dripping jewel accenting. Each bouquet was finished with a glittering brooch.
S & B’s drool-worthy ceremony took place on the lawn at the iconic Hotel Del Coronado, where we used our ivory draped canopy to create a unique, romantic scene. We custom created dripping crystal swags to tie back each pole and placed A-symmetrically cascading floral arrangements in soft ivory, white, blush, pink and fresh green tones. Gorgeous, lush arrangements were placed at the entry to the aisle atop our lace-accented ivory pedestals. The result was pretty magical.
The “pretty in pink” reception couldn’t have been more detailed and fabulous! We created Three types of centerpieces paired with a long, lush, elevated floral runner placed down the length of the head table!

This lovely November wedding and GORGEOUS bride came to us less than two short months before the big day! Luckily for all of us, this wasn’t our first rodeo and we were able to take her vision from a concept to a reality in a few short weeks together with the ladies of CZ Events.
The initial concept was a traditional pairing of soft ivories and blushes with hints of lavender. After a bit of discussion and wanting to add a subtle twist to her color palette, we decided to add in touches of plum and garden greens to the reception blooms.
The traditional jewish ceremony took place under our ivory chuppah DRIPPING in blooms and exotic white phalaenpsis orchids. As day slowly turned to evening the beauty of the structure was enhanced and perfectly captured by the talent at France Photography.
The gorgeous garden reception had a very unique look from daytime to night as the uprights were turned up and more color was added throughout the room.

A & A chose a soft color palette of white and cream with hints of champagne for their big day. Fragrant gardenias were paired with fluffy hydrangeas and rose blooms. 
The traditional, romantic outdoor ceremony was marked by tall manzanita branches covered in white blooms framing the entry and our dramatic ivory canopy.

Lovely couple Dina and Alex chose the serene venue of Maderas Golf Club for their romantic rendezvous. Dina chose a very traditional and fragrant bridal bouquet of soft ivory and cream tones to include roses, spray roses, phalaenopsis orchid blooms and creamy gardenias.
The stunning traditional jewish ceremony took place under our silk draped chuppah with two lush and fresh ivory and green floral arrangements placed atop vintage silver stand.
The reception was created with a mixture of tall and short floral arrangements to match the ceremony. Ivory, cream and green florals included delicate hydrangea, ivory roses, fresh snapdragons, fluffy stock, white phalaenopsis orchid and white lisianthus. Tall, footed mercury glass trio candle holders were placed around each traditional silver urn vase centerpiece.
This intimate and romantic affair of no more than 60 attendees took place at the breathtaking L’Auberge Del Mar. Together with the bride, the very talented Alison Patt, of L’Auberge Del Mar, created a sophisticated and unique event with room for a ceremony, reception and lounge area. Jessica carried a beautiful and organic inspired bouquet of creamy ivory china mums, fragrant peonies, ranunculus, fluffy stock, roses, tulips, lisianthus and silver toned dusty miller. Her bridesmaid carried a soft yellow and ivory bouquet create from stock, roses, lisianthus, ranunculus, billy balls and dusty miller leaves.
The groom, Michael, wore a textured and fun boutonniere of dusty miller, berzilia, tulips, spray roses and a crespedia pod.
Set atop the Pacific terrace with a gorgeous view of the Pacific Ocean, the ceremony took place under our beautiful deep wood stained chuppah, delicately draped across the top and two sides to not block any of the outstanding view. Floating orchid and crystal strands dripped from the two canopy sides, complimenting the submerged orchid aisle decor. Fresh soft yellow lemons accented the aisle and were placed along the bar and escort card tables. A whimsical swirling formation ran the length of the aisle.
The flower girl held an adorable floral wand. The unique and sophisticated reception was created in soft ivory, grey, and yellow tones. Centerpieces were created in vintage distressed ivory frames, containing pave of china mums, hydrangea, dusty miller, tulips and spray roses. Frames were placed down the length of the single long banquet table atop a clean mirrored runner, amplifying the glowing candlelight from the mercury glass votives and tall trios.
The lounge area was studded with belly bars and cocktail rounds topped with shaped glass vases and floating ivory blooms accented by lemons. The dessert table was topped with a lovely array of sweets, set up and prepared by Alison Patt, of L’Auberge Del Mar. We accented the table with submerged lemons placed inside footed cylinder vases.
As the sun went down, the romance was amplified by the numerous candles placed along the table and the fun market lighting stretched across the terrace. All of the beauty was captured flawlessly by Joshua Aull Photography– thanks for the images!!!

To say that this couple likes to have a good time would be a serious understatement. A perfect blend of sophistication and fun, Grace and Jarred chose the perfect color palette for their venue, the Scripps Seaside Forum, of ivory, blush, blue and green. Everything looked gorgeous from the stunning ceremony canopy studded with blooms to the dramatic centerpieces.
There were so many fun details at this wedding, lets start with the personal flowers and work our way through the ceremony and the reception.
Grace’s stunning bridal bouquet was a mixture of roses, spray roses, calla lilies, dusty miller, succulents, fragrant peonies and delicate gardenias. The detailed handle contained ruffled ivory satin with crystal, pearl, and chain detailing.
Her bridesmaids bouquets complimented the warm blue tone of their dresses perfectly, blending soft with bold.
The men wore simply understated boutonnieres of grouped ivory spray roses with brazilia accents.
The flower covered canopy was the essence of elegance, with soft sheer ivory silk softly blowing in the wind and crystal pendants hanging across the back glittering in the sunlight.
