Kristi & Mike : Glamour in Black, White and Gold

To describe this over-the-top wedding as glamorous would be an understatement. With its numerous chandeliers, glittering crystals, rich golds and shining sequins, this wedding was a shimmering black, white and gold feast for the eyes. Kristi knew exactly what she wanted from the moment she walked into our studio (along with her FABULOUS wedding coordinator, Gina Hundley of San Diego Weddings by Gina) and we took her dreams and made them into a flower-filled reality.

The bridal bouquet truly set the tone, created solely of fluffy, fragrant white peonies encrusted with unique gold-faceted brooches of all shapes and sizes.

Not to be outdone, the stunning ceremony was dressed-to-the-nines. We custom created a gold dupioni silk carpet aisle runner and custom hand-sewn black lace platforms to be topped with floral and surrounded by luxe drama. The entry to the aisle was marked by our gold chandeliers, dripping in fluffy peonies and roses paired with large urn-style arrangements of element-blocked florals. We custom created a black draped canopy to be full with a lush floral arrangement across the top. Our glittering gold and crystal chandelier hung in the center, complimenting the entry decor.

Huge centerpieces covered the reception, with a variety of centerpiece-types placed at guest tables, one more dramatic than the next. Candles created a romantic glow across the room in shades of glass, cut crystal, gold and mercury glass. Mirrored platforms were utilized to elevate centerpieces and create a unique look on the tabletops. Gold candelabras were adorned with glittering Swarovski crystal detailing and black crystal candelabras were strategically placed along the room to add a unique twist. By far the most dramatic and large of the centerpieces was an all-orchid centerpiece created from over 85 exotic phalaenopsis orchid stems.

Huge thank you to the team at Dapper Images for the great photos and to San Diego Weddings by Gina for inviting us to play on this amazingly over-the-top wedding!

Shannon & Joe : A Fresh Twist on Black and White

We can’t help but gush over all of the fabulous details from S & J’s special day! Each element was purposefully thought up by the lovely masterminds at Luxe Events, who perfectly paired a classic white and black color scheme with fresh greens and silver accenting. True Photography beautifully captured the stunning soiree with all of the beautiful paper goods created by Brightly Designed and linens from Concepts Event Design.

The La Costa Resort & Spa was the perfect backdrop for our ivory canopy, accented with dripping, organic arrangements of soft ivory blooms and fresh greenery.

The reception was dripping in romantic candlelight and ivory floral arrangements atop our delicate silver stands and silver candelabras. Mercury glass and candle holders with black detailing surrounded the dramatic centerpieces, adding texture and superb detailing.

The bride and groom chairs were accented with a custom floral garland of ivy and spray roses.

Adri & Michael : La Costa Love

It doesn’t get much more timeless than a clean, white wedding! We loved being a part of Adri and Michael’s big day at the La Costa Resort & Spa. Working with the oh-so-talented team of ladies at Before I Do Events always promises to be fun as well as detail studded and FABULOUS!

Adri carried a beautiful all white and ivory bouquet of fragrant blooms including textured garden roses and creamy gardenias.

A fun pop of blush color was brought in to the day with the lovely bridesmaids gowns and bouquets.

The couple had a traditional jewish ceremony, complete with our soft white chuppah drenched in delicate hydrangea, large open roses and overlapping sheer silk. A glittering chandelier hanging in the center of the chuppah complimented the glamorous crystal candelabras placed at the entry of the ceremony aisle.

The epitome of current sophistication, the traditional Poinsettia Ballroom of the La Costa Resort was draped in white fabric paired with a high gloss white dance floor, charcoal linens and clean white lounge furniture. Large white and ivory centerpieces were placed atop glass vases and complimented by warm, romantic candlelight in the form of mercury glass, clear glass, and lace wrapped candle holders. The dramatic head table was the focal point to the reception, soaked in candlelight and topped with a lush floral runner and two tall centerpieces plated atop glittering crystal candelabras.

The cake table was uniquely created with a fun backdrop of swirling blush and ivory roses paired with rose accented cylinders holding floating candles.

Together with the Before I Do Events team, the place card table was created with unique lucite boxes of various shapes and sizes topped with numerous silver, mercury glass and clear vessels. A huge thank you to Michelle Woodcock of Before I Do Events for designing such a perfect wedding and giving us the opportunity to be a part of it and True Photography for capturing our work!

Pranee & Mo : Soft Summer Soiree

Love, laughter and romance surrounded the La Costa Resort and Spa on the beautiful day of Pranee and Mo’s perfectly detailed wedding.

A whimsical, textured and pastel theme carried throughout the entire fabulous fête, complete with soft blush and peach blooms and studded with organic succulents and scabiosa pods. The blushing bride carried a unique bouquet of fragrant garden roses, soft stock spray roses, standard roses, scabiosa pods and silvery dusty miller leaves finished in a fun burlap ribbon wrapping.

Mo wore a grouping of soft peach spray roses finished in a twine and burlap wrapping.

The brides wore seafoam and carried soft peach and blush bouquets with succulent accents.

It could not have been a more beautiful day for this stunning ceremony, which took place by the beautiful golf course at the La Costa Resort and Spa. Our gorgeous deep wood stained canopy was draped in an a-symmetrical manner in a sheer ivory silk with soft peach and blush blooms accenting the sides and top.

Fun sea foam stained mason jars were filled with matching peach and blush blooms

The stunning candle-studded and romantically detailed reception was created through two types of centerpieces. A single large centerpiece was created atop a sea foam green platform wrapped in a textured burlap ribbon. The second centerpiece was created with a small distressed wood platform holding various clear and sea foam colored bud vases and candles placed in small mason jars.

A peach rose bloom was placed at each place setting. All of the beautiful details were perfectly placed by Andrea, owner of A Diamond Celebration and captured flawlessly by True Photography.

Jenna & Adam : Unique Organic Glamour

It is always a treat when we get to work with a bride who has a unique vision for her wedding. Besides being fantastic to work with, Jenna and Adam truly had a fun and different concept of what they wanted for their big day. Jenna carried an incredibly unique bouquet in ivory and blue hues made from grouped ranunculus, dusty miller, china mums, succulents, garden roses, lisianthus and dahlias finished with a beautiful rhinestone brooch and satin detailing.

The flower girl wore a floral accented headpiece.

The beautiful ceremony was marked by two tall ivory pedestals topped with manzanita centerpieces.

A whimsical swirling formation was created with delicate ivory petals.

The unique reception was made up of eight foot banquet tables topped with two different centerpieces. Some tables were topped with tall manzanita centerpieces, complete with hanging candles and submerged lemons. Other tables were topped with a beautifully unique table setting of intertwined grapewood branches and mercury glass candle holders accented by lemons, succulents and ivory blooms. Two distressed wood boxes filled with hydrangea and stock were placed at either end of the table.

All of the beautiful details were captured by the INCREDIBLY talented Captured by Aimee Photography and it was such a pleasure working with the very organized and stress-free team at Events By Design!
