A Chic and White Malibu Ranch Wedding

This week we celebrate Kendall + Justin’s wedding at Calamigos Ranch in The Pavilion at North Point. This serene venue is surrounded by natural beauty with its iconic redwoods, waterfall pond, and awe-inspiring twinkle lights. K + J were the life of the party and created an unforgettable experience for their guests!

Their first look was picture perfect, we couldn’t have asked for a more photogenic couple. Their wedding party photos were so full of life and energy—we couldn't wait to see this group on the dance floor!

The ceremony took place under iconic California Oaks with a tranquil waterfall in the background. We loved how De Flora LA lined the aisle with hundreds of crisp long stemmed white roses. K + J shared personal vows that shared stories of their love, adventures and incredible vision for their future.

The reception was magical with a canopy of twinkle lights and chandeliers overhead transforming the dinner space. You felt like you were dancing the night away under the stars. One of our favorite reception details were the variety of classic white buttercream cakes. We loved it - can’t decide on which flavor you want? Get them all!

Thank you to an amazing team of vendors for making an unforgettable evening!

Coastal California Luxury at Terranea Resort

Jasmine + Timothy’s wedding at Terranea Resort was the epitome of romance and luxury, perfectly nestled away in the secluded Palos Verdes Peninsula. The ocean view, dreamy lit pergola, and lush florals made the perfect combination for this intimate wedding.

We could not have asked for a more stunning or humble bride and groom. We started off this day with a traditional Chinese door games that included their immediate family and close friends in the wedding party.

The ceremony arch was designed and created by one of our favorites, De Flora LA. We wanted something soft and romantic, that let the perfect ocean blue come through.

Post ceremony, J+T snuck away for photos while guests enjoyed cocktails and light bites.

When reception came around, everyone was invited to take their seats in between 2 custom pergola structures from TMMPRO. We wrapped chiffon fabric and southern smilax greenery throughout the beams and had plenty of warm Edison bulbs to provide light as the sunset.

A big thank you to our exceptional team of vendors who made an unforgettable evening.

The Prettiest Lavender Palette at Westin Carlsbad

This bright and fun San Diego wedding matched S + K upbeat personalities. The gorgeous lavender color palette came through the beautiful bridesmaids dresses and stunning and lush florals. The Ceremony Arch was magnificent, and Jenifer from Peonies and Petals did an absolutely amazing job bringing our vision to life.

We love the way Gina Purcell Photography styled all of Sally’s details.

Sally looked like she stepped out of a dream for her first look. They have been together for over 10 years, and the first look was sweet and perfect.

Before the Western Ceremony, S+K did a traditional Vietnamese Tea Ceremony.

And their amazing wedding party was there for every moment of the beautiful day.

The ceremony threw in an unexcited surprise with these amazing Flower Men. They pranced down the aisle to A Thousand Miles by Vanessa Carlton and really put on a show.

The reception was a white and lavender dream and the night cake and sparklers. Congratulations to S + K — thank you for having us!

Enchanted Garden Dreams at Calamigos Ranch - Jennifer & Tony

We celebrated J+T earlier this year at one of our favorite wedding venues - Calamigos Ranch with one of our favorite photographers - Jeremy Chou Photography. This one was a long time coming and couldn’t have been a more special day.

Portraits were so fun with these two. They’re both so playful at heart, their energy being contagious. The sun peaked through during portraits and lit the wedding party so beautifully.

With her father waiting at the bottom, Jennifer walked down the staircase for her entrance into the ceremony.

Dinner outside under the lights transported us outside of Cali. Thanks J+T for having us!

Botanical Gardens Summer Wedding - Hetty & Pochi

This stunning garden wedding is and always will be one of our favorites. Shot by the amazing Jeremy Chou Photography, Hetty & Pochi had the most beautiful summer wedding at Descanso Gardens in La Canada.

The wedding party looked so good in their Jenny Yoo chiffon bridesmaids gowns and Friar Tux suits. The colors complimented all the florals in the garden.

Wen Floral brought the most beautiful arrangements, including these clusters of roses added to the existing gazebo.

We made frames for H&P’s seating chart arrangement and placed it right under the magical willow tree.

H&P danced their way into reception and through the rest of the night. Thank you to all vendors who made this possible!

Stunning Seaside Ceremony - Jennifer & Jack

If contemplating a coastal destination wedding —Laguna Beach’s Surf and Sand Resort offers one of the most stunning ceremony backdrops in SoCal. It was a pleasure working with Photographer Micheal Ryu. The shots captured at J+J’s ceremony are still some of our favorites. The warm sun, cool breeze and breathtaking ocean view made J& J’s wedding was a dream.

A huge wedding party with tons of love. The best way to get ready. Take a look at those shoes!

This group of Groomsmen cleans up well. We loved how Jack kept a loved one close to his heart with a custom made pin on his lapel.

J+J’s first look was romantic and private— a few moments to themselves. How cute are these two?

When your venue has a view like this, you keep it clean and simple. We did a white fabric draped arch with neutral florals that complimented the ocean blue.

Seeing real moments when the Groom gets lost in his emotions is our favorite part of any wedding day. Their ceremony was perfect and full of love. We even made it down to the shore for some great golden-light photos.

We designed the reception with the elegance of the resort and simplicity of the ceremony in mind.

Los Angeles Urban Oasis- Suji & Ali

Tucked away in Downtown Los Angeles’ Art District is the Eco-conscience Millwick. Suji & Ali’s found an urban oasis sheltered from the busy city. We loved the sophisticated look of a matching black wedding party. S+J’s wedding day was magical.

S +J had a ceremony fit for royalty. Beautiful white flowers from Irises Design lined the cathedral pews. Suji’s walk up the aisle took everyone’s breath away.

The reception was in Millwick’s Grand Hall with nine large skylights floating 20 feet overhead. Irises Design made the room pop with beautiful table garland and hanging flower installations. A Funfetti wedding cake is a “yes” in our books!

Scenic Views at Carmel Mountain Estate - Tiffany & Thomas

Carmel Mountain Estate, tucked away in the mountains of San Diego, hosted Tiffany & Thomas’ unforgettable wedding. This little getaway weekend couldn’t have had better weather or greater vendors. We loved working with Beatrice Howell Photography, who’s talents and understanding of light and detail came through in each photo.

Thomas looked great in a stunning tuxedo set from The Black Tux.

Florals were provided by Amne from Julep Bloom Design who just makes the most stunning arrangements. This bouquet will take your breath away.

T+T recited their vows in front of a classic garden gazebo beautifully decorated florals. CMR Estate is so stunning that not a whole lot needs to be added.

When the lighting is just right.

The reception was nothing short of stunning. Milk Events designed the evening with the beautiful reception room at CMR estate in mind.

Hand watercolor-ed portraits from Chasing Linen were the perfect keepsake for T&T and guests.

The reception kicked off with formal dances. Tiffany created her own tradition and did a dance with her mom. The night ended with a beautiful cake from by Jenny Wenny Cakes.

Historic Elegance at Greystone Mansion - Shirly & Justin

Nesting in one of Socal’s most prestigious cities sits Greystone Mansion, a Tudor Revival adorned with formal English Gardens. Shirley’s wedding day was perfect, with Chiali Meng Artistry and Flower Allie providing all the soft white florals.

Shirley & Justin’s first look was romantic, private, and beautifully captured by Sally Pinera. The cypress trees provided a perfect intimate backdrop for the couple.

As guests arrived, Shine Entertainment played music welcoming every into Greystone Mansion’s Iconic English Ceremony Garden. This ceremony has to be one of our favorites.

During cocktail hour, we were able to sneak away for some private portraits at some of the mansion’s greatest vignettes.

Reception kicked off in the main courtyard of the mansion. Before the grand entrance, guests got to enjoy the architecture and stunning stonework of the space. With a quick first dance, S+J continued the celebration with their signature drinks, a Sparkling Citrus Soda and a Refreshing Watermelon Lemonade, before changing into their Hanboks, a nod to their Korean heritage.
