Liza and Mark Savary

I don't know whether to be jealous of Liza and Mark because their uncle owns this incredible house or that they spent 3 weeks in South Africa for their Honeymoon. It is tough to hold too much resentment, because they are some of the sweetest people out there! The saying "opposites attract" does not ring true for this couple. Liza is an Interior Designer and Mark is an Architect, so they share a common love for modern design and could not wait to bring that alive on their big day!

They wed on a sunny October day in the beautiful Mary Star of the Sea. From there the guests had the pleasure of dining and celebrating in an Architectural masterpiece situated on the cliffs of Del Mar. As breathtaking as the exterior of the house... the real magic was inside. There were rare pieces from all over the world, hand crafted furniture and original art. The home really helped set the mood for the modern decor, delicious food and great music. It is also such a pleasure to work with my dear friends from Studio Castillero Photography. They rocked it again!

What a great night! Thank you for letting me be a part of the magic and fun. Congrats to you both!

Thank you to all the incredible vendors who worked on this wedding!

Tyler and Mike are Married!

This blog has been a long time coming, so I want to take a few posts to reflect some highlights from last year...

What a Wedding. What a Day. What a Group. What a Couple. I was so blessed to have been able to work with such an amazing family and couple. Tyler and Mike met a few years back as they were both studying abroad. The two are made for each other, Tyler being the humble star-jock, with such a lady like appeal and Mike a pro rugby player, doctor in the making and smile to kill! Together they are magical, which is why their day was a natural extension of just that!

Tyler and I made a great team, we had to as she was in Australia up until weeks before the wedding. Talk about a long distance relationship. The look and feel we went for was classic, clean and elegant. Simple but with a statement!

The wedding day was not just one day but a week long extravaganza. We had 65 loyal, rambunctious and amazing Aussies fly in for the wedding. The week was filled with a Mexican inspired Fiesta, All American BBQ, Surfing Beach Days, an unreal Rehearsal Dinner at the Sky Room at La Valencia Hotel, a fantastic Wedding and a day after hearty Breakfast- all with an Aussie twist!

Thank you to all the incredible vendors on this wedding, together we brought a dream wedding to both families!

Why Can't I Sew Like "Emersonmade"

I have been obsessing over EMERSONMADE. for a while now! I love the fact that she rocks the model position, and even more- She makes all her own clothes! That could be why the ticket price is just a tad bit high. But think about it, you are giving to a girl that is putting hard work to bring fashion to life, rather then contributing a "500 year old antique vase" in a millionaires mansion. :)




Love her line! http://www.emersonmade.com/

All the Senses!

I smell good! I walked out of the gift shop in Vegas with about 5 different Lollia scents on my arm! Everyone was just so delicious I could not decide! I have to say my personal fav was "Classic Petal". What first caught my eye was the gorgeous packaging (yes I am a total sucker for good packaging) and I was then hoping and praying it smelled as good as it looked, so I officially had an excuse to buy it! It does!!!!!!!!

Here is my next DIY project! That way I can make a place for all my perfume! And maybe add a few "Lollia" items to the mix!

Blush and Black Color Scheme

Us ladies change our minds all the time, sometimes within seconds. Although, "Blush and Black" is a color scheme that I just can't stop obsessing over! It is so classy and timeless yet has such a contemporary feel.

Maybe if I could just find those Anemones at my local flower shop! Then I could fill the house up and get my fix.

In LOVE with "LOVE"

Love. There is no better word. You can not read it, say it or observe it without smiling. As my first "blog post" I thought there was no better thing to cover. It is the reason I do what I do and am who I am. I am so inspired by love, in awe of the joy it brings and love who it makes us become. So, I have picked out a selection of photos that make me smile! They really grasp the raw moment that love invites.

Thank you to all my brides for letting me do what I love! I am so lucky to be a part of the love story you are creating!

Cheers for now! .... go find your love!
