Wedding Wednesday: Katie and Mike Party in Palm Desert

Katie and Mike’s love sparkled on their beautiful wedding day in Palm Desert. On this gorgeous sunny day, a close group of their friends and family came together to celebrate the union of these two incredible people! Their ceremony was simple and elegant with stunning bright florals on gold pedestals by Joey from Artisan Events. The large floral pieces included bright pinks, peach, blush, and lovely greenery to add the perfect finishing touch. The bridesmaids wore fun, different styled light pink dresses complimented perfectly with the groomsmen’s shades of gray and their polka-dot bow ties! How fun! Katie and her father had one of the sweetest first looks we've ever seen. Mike and Katie also had a first look that was absolutely breathtaking to be apart of. The two of them were all smiles after that moment. 

The night was radiant, from the beautiful sun-drenched rolling landscape surrounding the property, to the plethora of alive palm trees, olive trees, and cypress trees, to the elegant experience of la dolce vita at Toscana Golf Club. Guests danced the night away in a beautiful white tent with incredible chandeliers and market lights to mirror the absolute beauty of this couple! Lanterns on the table and simple florals brought the elegance and romance of this wedding come to life!

Katie’s dress was perfection. She looked absolutely stunning! Her dress was a beautiful fitted mermaid style gown with a simple and sweet bodice... but not too simple and not to miss, the party on top which was filled with delicate white feathers. Some other fun details of this wedding included parasol umbrellas for guests at the ceremony to beat the heat, a simply beautiful two-tiered cake with florals lining the top, and a little sparkle with the gold sequined tablecloths on detailed tables. We wish this amazing couple all the best for their incredible life together!

Wedding Wednesday: Casan and Preston's Beautiful Family Affair

THIS family definitely has a soft spot in our hearts. The moment we met the stunning bride Casan we immediately knew our wedding journey with her was going to be so much FUN (and it truly was - every last bit of it). We adore Casan and Preston and we are so incredibly happy for them. They are completely truly, madly and deeply in love with each other. Their happiness radiates when they are together and they instantly make everyone around them as happy as they are. We feel so blessed to have been apart of their big day and share in their happiness. 

Throughout the entire planning process their family dynamic and Casans mother|daughter relationship was inspiring and so so sweet. Each family member poured a lot of love and sweat into planning this great family affair. Casan’s mom Leann is truly one of her best friends and they had SO. much. fun. planning this beautiful wedding together. When I mean together, I mean planning the wedding was their excuse to spend even more time together… drinking wine (from Preston’s family vineyard), shopping for accessories and creating DIY projects side by side. Their similar style was impeccable. They were always laughing and enjoying every step of the way. Take note current and future planning partners… soak it all up, sit back, relax, and take a sip of wine every once in a while. Casan is also the apple of her Fathers eye. Her family shared in so many special moments during this day including one of our favorite moments where Casan and her father showcased their choreographed father|daughter dance. They had all guests laughing, sitting on the edge of their chairs and it was even topped off with a standing ovation. 

Casan and Preston's big day consisted of many surprise moments from the father|daughter first look, the church ceremony ending with a unique Rowing Arch Ceremony, to riding in style in a 1929 Convertible Packard AND a 1938 Packard! The gorgeous bridesmaids were dressed in ocean blue which paired lovely with the beautiful florals by Bethany from Splendid Sentiments. Casan and Preston’s wedding included some gorgeous peach, blush, ivory, and greens that complimented the deep mahogany walls and beautiful architecture of The Lodge at Torrey Pines.

Congratulations again to Mr. and Mrs. O’Connell! Forever partners in crime! Thank you to Josh Elliot Photography for capture all of these fantastic moments of the special day!

Wedding Wednesday: Kori and Brian's Timeless Love

It's Wedding Wednesday and… this Southern inspired wedding has been in our wedding vault for quite some time but we love to see that a past wedding is still classically beautiful till this day. Kori and Brian were such a sweet bride and groom so deserving of this beautiful day! Along with the beautiful sun shinning San Diego skies, Kori was such a beaming and beautiful bride. This wedding was classic, elegant and simply sweet! From the gorgeous dusty blue linens to the decadent mini dessert array including mini cheesecakes, blueberry donut bites, fruit tarts and so much more, the reception at The Santaluz Club could not have been more fitting for the timeless theme of this wedding.

Beginning with an elegant ceremony at St. Therese of Carmel, the wedding party of close family and friends radiated the joy of this beautiful day. Kori’s dress with minimal tulle and a stunning lace bodice complimented the bridal party with their light and bright color palette! Can we tell you how much we loved that her sister, her Maid of Honor was in a dress a shade darker than the others. Blush Botanicals provided exquisite corals, blush, and peach blooms with beautiful lush and fresh greenery to compliment the pale blue undertones of the linens. We can’t get over how amazing the fresh ferns were placed within glass vessels. From the lace on Kori’s dress, to the delicate lace details on the reception tables, Kori and Brian’s wedding will be one to remember “for absolutely ever”!

The guests boogied all night long thanks to The Heroes and DJ Mike Hogan! Thank you Jen Lauren Grant from Birds of a Feather for capturing this special day. Check our Kori and Brian’s wedding day feature on BRIDES.
