Stephanies fabulous fuschia wedding at Scripps Seaside Forum


I just couldn't wait for the professional pictures to blog this wedding. Scripps Seaside Forum is the most wonderful venue ever! I am sorta biased since I lived on cliff overlooking the ocean about 5 miles away in Del Mar about 15 years ago. I still miss the San Diego coastline every day of my life. I am asked all the time what my favorite venue is and this really is where I would get married if I were to do it today.






Did you notice why I posted so many pictures of the centerpieces. It is because all of the black vessels are unique. And the most unique thing about them is that all those wonderful containers were under 5.00 each. Stephanie and I went to thrift stores and bought up over 60 vases. Wondering how we found so many great vases all under 5.00 and all in black? Check back in a few days for pictures of this wonderful DIY project.


My husband made the boxes for what he called the pumpkin vases. Stephanie's Dad made the benches. We loved them so much that we will have some available to rent very soon.

Lastly the bridesmaids bouquets. Check back soon for the pro pics with all the great details

Susie's wedding at The Fairmont Newport Beach

I love this bouquet so much. I have created almost 3000 bridal bouquets now and this is one of my top 20 all time favorites. It is just full of white and blush fluffy goodness. Love it!



Check out the lighting. Atmosphere Entertainment out did themselves. All the walls had a warm up-lights and there were huge peony images throughout the room. The room just glowed.








My new favorite thing. White chiavari chairs.
