Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010Cookies, Spices and everything Nice!
Wednesday, September 16th, 2009The Moser family…what’s not to love?! We had the privilege of working with the gifted and ever-so-sweet Mother of the Bride, Terese Moser, on her daughter, Lauren’s, wedding. Lauren and Dan had only a few requests: a reception near the water and nautical-themed…the rest was left up to us. Lauren looked stunning in her…..gown, with an original hair design by Wendy at JDM Salon, who also did many of the wedding party hairstyles. (Go sis!!) The ceremony was at San Diego Presbyterian Church. A hand made runner with Lauren and Dan’s initials was laid down on the aisle. The reception setting was strikingly beautiful with a view of downtown San Diego along the bay at the Coronado Marriott. A huge, draped white tent was set up, decorated with hand-painted navy and white lanterns. Spectacular chandeliers were created out of wine and champagne glasses by the bride’s sister and a friend. In the planning stages, we weren’t so sure about this, but they turned out to be beautiful focal art pieces! Annette worked her magic, designing a unique collection of centerpieces using a variety of antique silver containers, including mint julep cups and family trophies, adding an interesting personal touch. A special wall of memorable pictures of Lauren and Dan was strung up in the tent for guests to peruse. A lovely candy table was part of the décor, as well as offering many delectable sweets, consisting of Lauren and Dan’s favorite homemade cookies (made by the bride), along with matching navy and white candies. A secret family spice recipe was packaged up for guests to take home. Posh Paperie did a fantastic job on all the print work! The invitees were entertained by the talented Michael Tiernan. Jason with Garrett Photography and Modern 8 Films captured memorable moments with incredible expertise…go team! The finale was a grand exit lit with sparklers at the edge of the water leading Lauren and Dan to a decorated boat ready to cruise them across the bay to their hotel. Sooooo romantic!
East Coast Love
Tuesday, September 15th, 2009Jamie and Joel planned their wedding from the east coast. This was a true destination wedding with all their guests coming from out of town to attend the celebration. We designed an entire weekend for Jamie, Joel and their guests to enjoy. On arrival, they were greeted with cocktails and hors d’ oeuvres at L’Auberge. The next day some guests went to the Zoo (Jamie is an animal lover), while others went golfing at the Torrey Pines Golf Course. Later all the guests reunited over a dinner at Candelas on the bay in Coronado. Each guest could relax knowing transportation to and from each event was taken care of. We even kept their appetites satisfied with snacks and cold water along the way.
The wedding was at L’Auberge on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. The entire theme of the wedding was based on Jamie’s wedding dress, which was covered with delicate little cherry blossoms. From the welcome bag totes to the menu cards on each place setting, we carried the cherry blossom motif throughout. It was adorable! Jamie told us the colors she wanted and basically let us create the rest. It was a team effort between Annette and our EverAfter Events team. We had so much fun brainstorming ideas to go with the theme. It is such a treat when our brides trust us like that, letting us go crazy with all our creative ideas! The wedding was on the Sunset Terrace and was decorated traditionally with a customized ivory runner and soft petals scattered on it. The chuppah was beautifully draped in champagne color fabric, adorned with orchids and spray roses and was over 8ft. tall for Rabbi Ian. Love him! For the reception on the Pacific Terrace, we had tables draped in soft antique rose-colored linens made by Wild Flower Linens. The head table had custom clips of fabric made that hung from each corner of the table, as well as the chairs. It was stunning! The crowd was entertained by the amazing NRG, who did a fantastic job on such a warm day! The cake, made by CAKE, was gorgeous, with an umbrella hanging over it dripping with balls of flowers and ivy. When we showed Jamie the reception area, she started to hyperventilate….she was so thrilled! What a compliment. Thank you, Garrett, for taking such phenomenal photos!
VanHalen in the house!
Tuesday, September 30th, 2008We had a blast planning this wedding at the beautiful Estancia La Jolla with Michele, Tim and Kathy! From picking out the save the dates…Michele and Tim were sitting right next to a real lion cub (so cute) to laughing over humorous emails from Kathy (MOB)! What an enjoyable planning process! Annette Gomez did a beautiful job! NRG Band carried the guests all evening being completely entertained. One of the highlights of the night was when Mike Anthony, bass guitarist, for Van Halen got on the stage and played about 5 songs! Wow, that was fun! The guests went crazy! Of course Garrett was there to capture it all. The Bongiovanni’s have an Italian restaurant , so it was quite fitting to give each guest a bottle of olive oil as they left the party.
