{real wedding} Kari + Eric

June 25th couldn't have been a more perfect day for a wedding at Franciscan Gardens! Every detail was thought of...touches of citrus in the centerpieces, the Italian pizzelle cookies & biscotti made by the Bride's grandmother, the chalkboard accents throughout, the wedding photos of grandparents & parents. Beauty was everywhere & love was in the air!

I love that my job allows me to meet wonderful people...like the very sweet & very talented Kara Layne. She captured their day beautifully!

Gotta love the yellow shoes...

So much emotion was felt throughout the day...

Miss Kari was stunning in her gown!

Ah, love!

The pair really loves life...
you have to smile just being around them.

Everyone loves a candy buffet!

Lovely details...

I love an exit with sparklers! Congrats you two! So glad I could share in your special day.

Last night I had the privilege of coordinating a wedding for a couple who is lovely in every way. They are beautiful inside & out, completely in love with each other and God who brought them together. It was a pleasure to coordinate their Big Day!

See what I mean?! Sweet Kari + Eric

I loved their chalkboard details...table numbers, seating chart, and reception signs

Their lovely thumbprint tree

Sweets! And delicious Italian pizelle cookies & biscotti made by the Grandmother of the Bride

I love my job!!!

{real wedding} Rochelle + Jeffery

Rochelle + Jeffery wed on November 13, 2010. Their ceremony was at Crossline Church and the reception was at the Dove Canyon Country Club. A great team of vendors created a spectacular day and I was honored to be a part of it. The Maid of Honor/Bride's sister hired me as a wedding gift. I loved that idea!

Rochelle has such a great personality! You can really see it in these photos.

The beautiful bridal bouquet, personalized with a Tiffany's locket that held vintage pictures of the Bride's late Grandmother

Precious flower girl...love the curls!

Miss Haley, Sister/Maid of Honor

Beautiful exterior of the Dove Canyon Country Club

Yum!

A labor of love from the Mother of the Bride...the incredibly detailed candy buffet.

The centerpieces were actually uplit! How cool is that?

FAVORITE picture!!!

Love the 3 in 1 for her toss bouquet

A very happy Father of the Bride

I cannot wait for this Saturday! I get to coordinate the wedding of Kari + Eric at the gorgeous Franciscan Gardens in San Juan Capistrano. Not only are they a beautiful couple inside & out, their venue is spectacular. Lots of Spanish detail plus beautiful greenery...see for yourself!
