Wedding Wednesday: Jessica and Chris's Estancia Wedding

Say hello to one good looking couple!!! Not only do they radiate on the outside but they are truly such a sweet couple. I loved my time working with them both and was sad to see the experience come to an end. 

Jessica and Chris got married at Estancia on a sunny and warm :) August day! The ceremony was personal and incorporated small amounts of each of their faith. From the ceremony guests walked through the stunning Estancia gardens and paths to the La Jolla ballroom and foyer for the cocktail hour and reception.  

We wanted to bring out the charm of Estancia but stay true to Jessica's dream of a elegant and feminine wedding.  We successfully nailed it! The rustic glam and girly touches was the perfect balance of ying and yang.  The pewter colored linens and blush napkins paired with iron vases with fluffy florals and a million mercury glass candles was exceptional! Right when you walked into the reception you saw the diamond shaped white dance floor with vintage lounge set ups on either side, which were adorned with eclectic pieces, candles and florals. The band then took front and center on their white stage and fabric backdrop.

The night was a total hit! The band rocked the house and had people up dancing all night long. Once the band concluded, DJ Michael took over and kept the party alive. It was so much fun to see both families come together and celebrate all night long. Cheers to you both!

Take a peek at the incredible film by NR3 Productions. It really highlights the romantic glow of the reception and the love and connection of Jessica and Chris.

Finishing Touches Tuesday: MacKenzie's 1st Birthday Bash!

My little lady is ONE! I really cant believe it. She started walking a week before her birthday and ever since then I have realized that I no longer have a baby but a toddler.  It is a bit sad as that chapter is over but I am so ready and excited for the next one.

My husband and I were thrilled to celebrate her big day with all our closest friends at our NEW house. We have had a lot going on lately so I am surprised that I even pulled together a party. I am glad we mustered up the energy because the party was a blast.

The theme was an "outdoor movie party" and we did just that! Pizza, popcorn, soda, lots of candy and of course a movie marathon for the kids! The colors were inspired by the dress she was wearing, which must say I bought back when I was pregnant. :) It ended up being a great purchase as it lead me to all these fun bright colors.

Gosh, I love this little lady SO much. Happy Birthday my baby girl!
