Little Italy Wedding. San Diego, CA | Katelynn & Anthony

Katelynn and Anthony met in Balboa Park, so they figured it would be the perfect place for their wedding!! They kicked off the day getting ready at the stunning Pendry Hotel. After a first look in Balboa Park, they headed to the St Francis Chapel, which is part of the Museum of Us! After an intimate ceremony, we were able to explore the museum a bit and take photos! We met the rest of the wedding at Herb & Wood, for a gorgeous and delicious reception. Amanda, of Spark and Sage Coordination kept the day running perfectly!!

Old Hollywood inspired Castle Green Wedding. Pasadena, CA | Sam & Nick

This epic spot was the design inso for the Tower of Terror (RIP) at Disney’s California Adventure! It’s definitely a hidden gem, tucked right in downtown Pasadena. Sam and Nick planned a gorgeous, old Hollywood inspired day to celebrate with friends and fam! They had a gorgeous ceremony outside, under the huge magnolia tree on the property. We went straight from the I-Do’s, to the ancient elevator and up to the roof! The sunset was straight out of Star Wars, filling the sky with an incredible orange.

Pretty in Pink Wedding at the Saguaro Hotel. Palm Springs, CA | Daphne & Austin
Pretty in Pink Wedding at the Saguaro Hotel. Palm Springs, CA | Daphne & Austin

We were watching golden girls and it was the episode where rose proposes to miles and Austin asked if I would ever propose to him to which I said “if it takes you that long”. But then I had a lightbulb moment and decided why not ask him? He was my best friend and as much as I wanted to be proposed to to see a man show his vulnerability and love for me, I knew I didn’t need it because Austin shows me everyday he loves me. I never have to question it. There’s no one else I would rather do life with.

Romantic Luce Loft Wedding. San Diego, CA | Loraine & Alexis

AHR florals transformed the venue with a wild palette of greens, punctuated by the buttery bouquet and flower crown for Alexis. Candles and the greens gave hidden garden vibes: moody & romantic!!! We were able to steal a way for a bit at the end of dinner and watch the sunset from a near by rooftop. After soaking up the cotton candy skies, we headed back to dance the night away!

Magical Disney Wedding at Galway Downs. Temecula, CA | Stephanie & Alex

Guests were welcomed to the beautiful Galway Downs with an Up & Beauty and the Beast welcome table, with Disney Parks & movies songs playing. To find their seats, each guest had a personalized Fast pass to tables honoring the couples favorite Disney movies. My favorite detail from the day was an old tv that Stephanie repurposed for a cake stand. On the tv, she had The Skeleton Dance on loop, one of Disney’s first animated cartoons.

Julia picked the most perfect dress that felt like it was made for her. The pearl polka dot detail was perfect and the midi length was so fun for multiple reasons. This dress was MADE for twirling AND gave Jullia the option to show off multiple pairs of shoes! She started the day in a fun set of gold heels. These took her into the reception, where she changed into her dancing shoes : Custom painted high top Converse

Iridescent Villa Royal Wedding. Palm Springs, CA | Daniel & Ryan

For their big day, the design focus was Modern, Moody and Warm. With ultimate design queens Luna Design Studios, they transformed The Villa Royal into a iridescent and playful wonderland!!! Darth Vader was the ring bearer and each guest found their way to their seat via a customized Lego figurine made by the grooms! Daniel told me they lost count of how many times they ended up at the Lego store. Legos also made their way into the boutonnières and table numbers.

Tropical & Nerdy DIY Wedding at BRICK. San Diego, CA | Adria & Anthony

What was your favorite part of the wedding day?: For moments for just us, our first look! We’re so glad that we did one and were able to have a quiet and special moment for just us in between that craziness of the day! Especially for a bride like me, who was really hands on (at the venue setting up and putting out fires until 45 minutes before Maddie arrived LOL), I enjoy the chaos of prep but having a moment to take a breath just the two of us was really the recharge we needed before the event.
