Melissa & Bryan’s Wedding…To Die For!

Monday, January 11th, 2010

Melissa & Bryan were some of the first weddings clients that I booked back when I started that I KNEW would be amazing and I have to toot my own horn and say that I was right…it was AMAZING! Their attention to detail was fabulous and their sense of style really showed through in everything from the flowers to the dresses. Of course a wedding this gorgeous takes a whole team to pull off…Courtney from Joyful Weddings & Events did such a great job with every detail, Amelia & Justin Lyon killed the photos (definitely some of my favorites EVER), Nicole DeAnne made Melissa look stunning on her special day, and Kristin from The Treasured Petal blew me away with the flowers! Rancho Las Lomas is one of my favorite venues to work at and from the photos you can see it is a lovely backdrop for a wedding! Well now that you know how this beautiful wedding came together lets look at some photos!

I know my photos don’t compare to Justin & Amelia’s, but I just had to take some too since I was so into the whole look!

I loved all the mercury glass, bird cages, and romantic flowers!

Hope you enjoyed this wedding as much as I did!

Pops of Color

Thursday, October 8th, 2009

When I first met with the bride and her mother about 6 months ago for a consultation I automatically knew that I really wanted to book this wedding! They were fun, creative, and full of excitement for their big day and being from Texas and having a wedding here in California they had done their homework and found Courtney Toney, from Joyful Weddings & Events, to help plan for their wedding. I can’t stress enough how important it is to have a fabulous planner, whether for the whole wedding process or at least just for the day of…they can make your wedding 10 times more enjoyable, creative, and memorable. Courtney recommend Carissa, from JL Designs to our clients too and they fell in love (like they always do!). So now I was really wanting the job and luckily they wanted me too! This was such a fun wedding to plan for and was full of pops of color, fresh flowers, and cute details. When I got to the venue I was blown away with the set-up that Courtney & Carissa had pulled off…it was just perfect! Here are some fabulous photos from Melissa Kelsey Photography of the day…enjoy!

I was so excited for my dessert display because I knew Courtney was making me a fabulous backdrop and Carissa blew me away with the wheat grass and fresh tulip display for my cake stand to sit on…how amazing it that!?! I wanted to pull together all the fun pops of color and make this display delicious eye candy! The bride loved the cake I designed while I was in Ron Ben Israel’s class last year, so since I don’t like copying exact cakes that I have done before we switched it up by changing around the color scheme, flowers, and details…I loved how it turned out and was so excited once I put it on the cake stand!

For the mini desserts we did monogram sugar cookies, mini key lime pies, passion fruit, coconut, macadamia nut tarts, mini cheesecakes with fresh raspberries, and cake lollipops.

Love these ladies…

And of course I had to snap a photo of my fabulous business partner, friend, and master cake lollipop maker…my wonderful mother!!!

I don’t know how I ever thought I could run a whole store/business without her! She, along with my whole family, has been more amazing than I could ever of hoped and dreamed for. After pulling 36 hours straight last weekend without sleep (yes, I overbooked) I was even more grateful for the immense amount of help my mother has been!
