Rocio and Oscar Mission Inn Wedding

I had the honor and privilege of planning this wedding with Rocio and Oscar from start to finish at the gorgeous Mission Inn Hotel and Spa. This wedding was very special and every detail was captured beautifully by Vantage Point Custom Films and Cean One Photography. Their Officiant was the wonderful Jim Granger of Your Ideal Wedding and the stunning floral design and decor was provided by Ambiance Designs. We had such a great time with this wedding. Take a peek and Enjoy!

My own 10 year vow renewal

Well after 10 blissful years of marriage and 3 beautiful children my husband and I wanted to renew our vows while on vacation this summer. So of course I enlisted the help of my dear friends OJ Philpot (Our Officiant), Cean Orrett of Cean One Photography and Shawn Adams of Ambiance Designs. They all did an amazing job and I thank them for all of their hard work! We did our vow renewal right outside of our beach front room at the Paradise Point Resort and Spa in San Diego. We had a very intimate ceremony with only our immediate family and a couple of close friends. We hope you enjoy a small glimpse into our day!

Michelle and Jerald @ The Mission Inn Hotel

Michelle and Jerald were married in the St. Francis of Assisi Chapel at the Historic Mission Inn  Hotel and Spa. Michelle was such a beautiful bride and had such great style! I loved the flare of her hot pink, chocolate brown with subtle touches of cheetah print that she brought into the wedding. They had an oxygen bar that the guests really enjoyed and their lovely reception was held in the Music Room at the hotel. The stunning floral designs were created by Shawn Adams of Ambiance Designs and the guests got to have delicious Casey's Cupcakes. Our fab photographers were Jeremy and Katie of Cean One Photography. Michelle's father was unable to make it from the Philippines so her sister surprised her by skyping him in for the first dance. It was a wonderful moment! Thank you Michelle and Jerald for allowing us to be a part of your special day.

Parker Palm Springs Wedding

We had the honor of planning the wedding of Kineret and Aaron at The Parker Hotel in Palm Springs. We had originally planned for an out-door ceremony and reception at the Gene Autry House but Mother Nature had other ideas. With 70 mile per hour winds blowing through our gorgeous wedding we were forced to move everything inside. It still turned out just beautifully thanks to our team and to White Lilac our incredibly talented florist team. Our amazing photographer was Kim Fox of Kim Fox Photography.  Our bride and groom were a joy to work with, even with the in-climate weather they still kept smiling. :) We hope you enjoy the photos!

Veronika and Bobby's Dove Canyon Wedding Ceremony

Veronika and Bobby are a very special couple to me. They are dear friends and I had the honor of planning this wedding as well as being a bridesmaid. The event was flawlessly designed by Shawna Yamamoto Designs. Shawna created this enchanted forest themed ceremony. The willow tree alter was my favorite! The photos were shot by the ultra talented Cean One Photography. Check out the gorgeousness of the ceremony below.

The Grand Wedding Planners Tea Party with Eddie Z

I had the honor and privilege of being one of the wedding coordinators invited to the ultra prestigious tea party hosted by Eddie Zaratsian from tic-tock Couture Florals and the Langham Hotel in Pasadena. The experience was lovely from start to finish with the opening cocktail reception decorated impeccably with beautiful music from Spanish guitarist Brandt Jacobus and refreshing tray passed cocktails. All of the attendees were chatting and having a wonderful time. We were then escorted into the main ballroom where we saw the breathtaking display of florals, fantastic furniture, props, stage, floral buffet, and photo-op area. It took a bit to get everyone seated since we were all overwhelmed and could not stop talking about the gorgeousness before us.

Once everyone got settled Eddie spoke a few words and made vendor and sponsor acknowledgements followed by a few words from the ladies of the Langham and the story of the history of afternoon tea. Then we had the pleasure of listening to the vocal stylings of Brenna Whitaker and her band while being served tea, scones and tea cakes and delicious desserts. It was just lovely! We were all invited to get a specially designed floral head piece made from the floral buffet and then have our professional portraits taken by the fabulous team at Cean One Photography.

The last hour consisted of more Spanish guitar music, networking with friends and having more fun photos taken. A wonderful time was had by all and the planners were given gift bags as they left with all types of treats. Thank you Eddie and the Langham for throwing a fabulous party and inviting A Classic Touch Events!
