My faux cousin...

Jennifer and Dustin got married at the Hilton Hotel Waterfront Resort in Huntington Beach. A beautiful location literally a hop and a skip away from the beach. It's beautiful! So why did I title this post "My Faux Cousin..." well Dustin's last name is Sy...same as mine. I first designed his older sisters wedding a few years ago and we always considered ourselves as family. So now their little brother is getting married to a beautiful woman :0) I love this couple and had such a great time planning their florals etc. Hope you all enjoy the images below...taken with my brand spankin' new camera! 

 This is my favorite picture :0) Sorry Jen, hope it's alright that I posted this!!! 

*Sigh* I'm in love with this one...

So remember my post last year Si no aguantas el calor, sal de la cocina ? This wedding is her bestfriends wedding :0) First of all I had such a great time planning this wedding with the Bride, I love her to pieces and I love her family! Everyone looked absolutely beautiful the day of it was unreal... I, on the other hand, looked like crap as I always do during wedding set-ups...

Second, the venue was at The St. Regis in Dana Point. Oh yeah, she fancy huh! Everyone was super nice and helpful. I rolled in with my screeching Volvo (something was wrong with my struts or shock absorber or something like that...eh) and I was treated as if I was driving a Bentley. So St. Regis...you get an A+!

Third (what's with the count down?) Talk about fabulous vendors that worked on this wedding! Annette Hoegner of A Classic Touch Events kept everything organized and made the day through evening flow smoothly. Ridiculously awesome photographer Cean Orrett of Cean One Photography captured every flawless detail... Cean, my apologies for these atrocious pictures of mine, I just can't wait to show this wedding off! Needless to say I can not wait to see the professional images!!!

So here are the said photo's...I'm horrible at editing pictures nor do I have the patience. I need to figure out a faster way to upload, annotate and edit pictures...suggestions?

Saturday...two pink weddings...one tired designer

So this past weekend, I literally was seeing the world in a rosy hue! Two weddings with the same tone of pink but interpreted in a different direction.

One was held at the Cocopalms in Pomona, lovely place, lovely food! The color scheme was Gray, Blush and White. We designed the aisle way with a fabulous Gray aisle runner and blush rosepetals. Decorated the trees with a gray fabric and two manzanita trees with blush and white flowers.

Wedding #2 was held at St. Paul Church in Chino Hills (where I go for Sunday mass) and the reception at Sheraton in Pomona. The color scheme for this one was Blush Pink, Wine and Creme. The Bride who will remain nameless :0) passed out in the middle of the ceremony...I always tell my clients to eat a good breakfast and keep eating small snacks or meals during the day and DON'T FORGET to hydrate yourself with water!!!!

All in all she made it to the reception and was totally fine before the ceremony ended. Hope ya'll enjoy the pictures below...don't forget to leave your comments!!! I love reading them.

Castaways - San Bernardino

Castaways is tucked on top of a hill in San Bernardino and what a gem it is! The food is amazing and the view is fabulous! This wedding was coordinated by Vanessa of V3 Events.

Shabby Chic

Inspired by a recent Martha Stewart Weddings Magazine issue, my client came to me with a distinct vision for her wedding. "Shabby Chic" feminine, romantic, elegant and garden are the few key words to describe her wedding. The venue was The Calamigos Equestrian center in Burbank, CA.

[Gazebo]
I was kind of distracted with the grapevine garlands that is already there with the ugly faux ivy but it kind of works. We added the white fabric backdrop to create a clean look.
