Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010High School Sweethearts
Friday, October 16th, 2009We first met Annie when we helped coordinate her sister’s wedding a few years ago at their parents Encinitas home. So, we were thrilled to get a call when Annie got engaged to her high school sweetheart, Curtis! Being San Diego natives and sharing a love for the ocean, selecting L’Auberge Del Mar for their wedding just came naturally. And, Sea Grove Park was the ideal backdrop for their cliff side ceremony. Navy blue, lime green and crisp white was the preferred palette, so Annette Gomez created a clean look with white calla lilies and bright green wheat grass, anchored by a beautiful bamboo structure for the ceremony, and orchids, dahlias, roses, and a touch of lime for the reception arrangements. Michael Tiernan serenaded the guests during the ceremony and cocktail hour, and then put on his DJ hat for dinner and dancing. He is so talented! Instead of table numbers, Annie and Curtis framed pictures of their favorite eating spots in San Diego. As guests entered the ballroom for dancing and dessert, ladies were given navy blue flip flops with personalized size tags. Instead of traditional wedding cake, Annie and Curtis opted for an ice cream station stocked with all their favorite toppings! It was a beautiful day captured by the ever so talented Jennifer Dery, who never disappoints with her amazing photos.
Cookies, 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!
