This was a really lovely wedding celebration to put together, such a sweet lovely family. I can’t even remember how they found me, think a past bride referred them, but mom/grandma and the bride met and interviewed me, then from there on the four of us girls moved forward starting completely from scratch. We did the budget so I had direction for what we had to spend in each area and what was a priority versus what not. Then style and vision came into play, and the location seeking began. One day we drove convoy around the OC and looked at about 10 locations, quite a variety, hotels/golf clubs/banquet facilities, but the one that I could tell Brianna liked was Marbella the minute she saw it. After seeing them all I got their top 3 and then had the cost estimates done, and then they made their choice, and Marbella it was.
Such a pretty backdrop to both the ceremony and the dining area, then the dancing is done inside yet people can stay sitting at the dining tables watching the dancing through the french doors that open out if they prefer. Brianna wanted brighter colors and it turned out great. For their royal dining table for the bridal party we did such a thick petal pile in the middle, I just wanted to jump in it. Brianna loved the iron hanging on the wall inside and immediately wanted her cake there (top picture), that is not where it normally goes, but I think it worked out aok and it’s always nice to tweak something to make it more yours than you doing what everyone else does. And as we started, the four of us, they were also the last three (along with the men this time) to leave the event. Such a lovely family.
Thanks to the fab Tony Florez for the pics and of course for being a pleasure to always work with/great team player, www.tonyflorez.com and as they allowed me to guide them to the right vendors for their style and budget, we had a great vendor team who made the wedding very smooth and fabulous, and look more expensive than what it actually cost. Thanks also to the team at Marbella, I have never worked a wedding with so many management staff there/working to ensure everything went well.
If you need help getting a budget going, knowing what your options are for best experience for your style/budget, then let me help you, you will end up with a great wedding with a lot less stress and frustration and in my opinion (and I’m not biased!!) a better celebration because you probably would not have found some of the vendors on your own or a vendor that offers the same great product/experience for the money.
Till next time

ou pulled together the most beautiful wedding in less than two weeks. People who attended our wedding still comment on it being the prettiest they’ve ever been to.
Thank you for your great ability to oversee things and in such a fun and relaxing way. I know that the day went so smoothly because of all the time you spent on all the hidden details.
I just wanted to say thank you for everything. The wedding turned out soooo BEAUTIFUL. I don’t know what we would have done without you. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you
