Mike & Des : Sophisticated Spring Soiree

LOVE!!!  Love is the only word that comes to mind when thinking about these two human beings and this spectacular wedding!  We were honored to design the entire event from start to finish and work with such amazingly fabulous vendors.  Huge thanks to Ashley Kelemen Photography for capturing it on camera!

Des chose a lovely, soft color palette of soft blush, vintage rose, ivory, fresh greens and organic pops of black, brown and burgundy.  We used over 25 varieties of flowers and foliage to include fragrant garden roses, textured anemones, jasmine, cosmos, veronica and other like blooms and greens.  Bouquets were finished with a rich, textured Midori ribbon detailing and trailing fabric drip.

The ceremony was pure magic, created under and around an old tree on the Rancho Bernardo Inn’s property.  We created a delicate and lush floral garland around the base of the tree and hand strung orchids to hang from the branches, complimented by a crystal chandelier and Swarovski crystal strands and pendants.

The ballroom was DRIPPING in romantic candlelight and unique dimension created with the use of 3 fabulously dramatic centerpiece types.  Both round tables and long banquet tables were utilized in order to create movement and variation between centerpieces.  Tall, garden centerpieces were paired with 8ft tall “trees” that we hand created, complete with hanging candles.  Banquet tables were topped with our lace runners and an array of tall and short gold candelabras with eclectic, garden centerpieces scattered along the center of the table placed within gold, bronze, mirrored, mercury glass and crystal vessels.  Delicate sprigs of rosemary were finished with a bow accent and placed at every guest plate.

Truc & Jim : Oceanfront Garden Bliss

We are gushing over these fabulous details from the very talented Gina Canali Photography!  T & J were such a beautiful couple, inside and out and we were honored that they trusted us to design their fabulous day.

T chose to carry a lush, garden bouquet of soft ivory tones paired with fresh green elements to include David Austin garden roses, ranunculus, sweet pea, tulips and other like elements.

The ceremony was simply amazing, overlooking the Del Mar Beach.  T wanted to do a subtle canopy as to not compete with the serene backdrop.  We brought in our wood stained canopy to add a bit of an organic feel and accented it with garden blooms and vines.  The back row of chairs was delicately accented with babies breath and vines.

T wanted something unique and glamorous at her gorgeous L’Auberge Del Mar reception site and left the designing and conceptualizing up to us (we love it when this happens).  We utilized our delicate ivory lace runners atop the stained wood tables brought in by Classic Party Rentals.  Eclectic glass and silver vessels were used to hold lush, loose floral arrangements in soft shades of ivory and fresh green. Our very favorite part of this oceanfront reception was the amazing wood and crystal installation we created atop the head table.  Organic wood was placed to “float” above the head table dripping in vines and glittering Swarovsi crystal strands and pendants of varying sizes.

As the sun went down the reception became more and more magical with our glowing layers of candlelight creating a romantic and intimate vibe.

Amy & Erik : Vibrant Seaside Love

We have been dying to share this stunner of a wedding!  It was such an honor when Amy, owner of First Comes Love Weddings & Events, asked us to design the florals for her stunning seaside nuptials.  With a modern palette of bright purples, lavenders, ivories, silvers and grays, we created a candle studded and crystal filled event that was the true definition of the word “glam”.

Screen Shot 2014-09-25 at 9.00.11 PM0321Amy_ErikScreen Shot 2014-09-25 at 9.00.52 PM

Guests stared at the gorgeous, Pacific Ocean as they watched A & E tie the knot!  We framed the couple with two of our glittering crystal candelabras placed atop our ivory pillars.  Large florals were placed atop each candelabra, dripping in exotic white orchids, tulips, various roses, hydrangea and other like elements.  Delicate rose petals were placed down the aisle in a whimsical swirling formation.   Hire elegance brought in thee amazing white custom chairs that brought the contemporary look together so beautifully.

The reception was truly breathtaking.  Tall, dripping purple, lavender and ivory centerpieces placed atop crystal candelabras were carried by our custom ivory taffeta wrapped pedestals, complete with glamorous brooch accents.  We hand placed petite brooches on each candle holder, adding elements of bling and sparkle.  Short centerpieces were created within vintage mirrored boxes, custom wrapped in ivory taffeta and surrounded by layers of glowing candlelight in mercury glass, clear glass and crystal cut vessels.  Gorgeous draping, linens and beaded charger plates by Concepts Event Design paired perfectly with A’s palette.

we fabricated a driftwood chandelier to hang above the cocktail hour lounge furniture, dripping in purple phalaenopsis orchids and glittering crystals.

Candice & Matt : Spring Garden Bliss

We adore the springtime for oh-so-many reasons, one of them being PEONIES and the other amazing seasonal flowers that are available for us to play with!  Candice loved the rich, coral tones of the coral charm peony, but wanted a very classic color palette of soft ivories paired with fresh greens and accents of lavender, purple, peach, orange and coral.  C chose the gorgeous, garden venue at the Rancho Bernardo Inn, where she was surrounded by lush garden roses and foliage.  We designed her centerpieces to compliment her surroundings and style.

Screen Shot 2014-09-21 at 9.34.20 PM

The reception was candle-studded, with each guest table holding over 20 candles of varying heights, sizes and mediums.  Mercury glass, cut crystal, delicately shaped floating candle holders and votives were all paired to give the table some interesting texture.  Tall floral sprays were created in tall, tapered glass vessels paired with eclectic groupings of florals in vintage gold, brass, bronze and silver tones.
