Aloha!

In case you were wondering, I have not fallen off the face of the earth... well, actually I did in a way. I just spent an amazing week in Kauai- a calm before the storm of the summer wedding season.

I'm back to work now... a bit tanner and very refreshed :)

Forgot one...

I just realized that I forgot one of my favorites from the last post. I will take one of these couches, please!

Happy Saturday!

Krista & Phil's engagement pics

I am so excited for Krista & Phil's wedding at Rancho Capistrano this July. It is going to be a beautiful wedding with lots of personal & unique touches! Emi at Evoke Photography took their engagement photos at the Orange Circle and I love them! Here are a few of my favorites:





How amazing does Krista look in her red cowboy boots?

Emily & Aaron are married!

Last month, one of my favorite couples, Emily & Aaron, were married up in San Francisco. I actually got to be a guest at a wedding! Emily & Aaron are friends from college and we were so excited to be able to witness their wedding. It was Isaiah's first wedding!
Emily is one of the most fun & unique women I know, so I could not wait to see what she had planned. They had amazing details & I loved how their personalities shined through.

Here is a glimpse into their day, provided by the lovely ladies of Red Loft Studios:

The adorable bride:


Love the purple bouquets and yellow polka dot shoes. So Emily!

The ribbon on emily's bouquet matched the shoes:

A tender moment during the ceremony:

Aaron was balling the second Emily started walking down the aisle. So sweet!

They did it!
How awesome are these shots?

I love these bouts:

Such a fun detail! A vintage typewriter for the guest book. I had seen this in Martha Stewart Weddings last year and I thought it would be so great! The wedding had a "button" theme. You'll see more further on.

Love love love this cake! Fondant buttons!

Cute programs.

Gotta love a cookie bar:

These were my favorite!

The absolutely gorgeous ballroom at the Palace hotel:


My two favorite men:

Isaiah fell asleep in the Baby Bjorn and David decided that he didn't wan to miss out on the dance floor. Isaiah actually slept through all of the noise and dancing! It was hilarious!
Em & Aaron: Thanks for having us! I wish you two the absolute best. I loved all of your details and, more than that, I so enjoyed seeing your love for each other bring joy to everyone there. Hope to see you soon!

happy mother's day

Yay for the wedding chicks!

On tuesday, Shan & I went to the launch party for the uber cool Wedding Chicks blog. It was held at Arroyo Trabuco and it was such a fun event! Here are a few pics by Louis Palos:

For more, check out the chicks blog.

Some of the fun details:

*The super popular & fun Foto Cabina. Aren't we cute?

*Yummy cupcakes from It's All About the Cake (shhh.. don't tell, but I took two!)

*Beautiful ice carving of the chick's adorable logo by Carving Ice.

*The new big thing: tasty mini donuts, cooked right on site by The Fry Girl. Sooo yummy! You can pick different flavored toppings. I loved the maple.

It was fun to celebrate this amazing blog and to meet up with friends in the industry and to meet a few other coordinators whose blogs I have been stalking :)

Congrats Amy & Jocey!
