As you know, we are so thrilled for Ashley to get married this weekend! And we’re really excited to reveal her wedding vendors to the world because it is going to be fab-u-lous. Here is the amazing dream team that has come together to make what is sure to be one of the most amazing days come to life.

Wedding Planning/Design: Jesi Haack Designs

Ashley picked Jesi Haack Designs to be her wedding planner and designer! Jesi’s fun personality and creative thinking is the perfect combination of what Ashley needed. She’s got some pretty amazing and unique projects in the works for it… You’re gonna die : )

Photography: This Modern Romance

Anyone who isn’t familiar with the work of Stephanie and Isaac needs to be! They have an amazing eye for capturing wedding day details and the love that’s between a couple. You’ll see Ashley and Tyman’s engagement shoot later this week, and believe me after seeing the sneak peaks from that I know their wedding images are going to be beyond gorgeous.

Florals: JL Designs

Carissa has one of those special talents where everything she touches turns to gold! Her refined eye and beautiful floral arrangements are truly a work of art. I’m SO looking forward to seeing what she creates for the centerpieces and bouquets… I know they’re going to be a dream!

Cake & Desserts: Cupcakes Couture of Manhattan Beach

The Cupcake Couture girls not only produce some of the most beautiful desserts but also some of the most delicious! Believe me, I know from first hand experience : ) The sweet treats they’re making are sure to please the couple and the guests!

Film: Floataway Studios

Mary and Seth are a dream team all on their own! They are some of the nicest and most easygoing wedding vendors I’ve met and their work is one of a kind. They have such a talent for telling a story with their films and capturing all the love and special moments that take place at a wedding can’t wait to see what they come up with.

Custom Bridesmaid Dresses: Alisa Benay

Ashley looked long and hard for bridesmaid dresses but wasn’t able to find anything she just LOVED. So we decided to ask the talented Alisa Benay if she would be up for creating 8 custom bridesmaid dresses in all different styles and colors, and to our pleasure she said YES!

Hair and Makeup: 10.11 Makeup

Oh Erica, how we love you. The hair you style, the face you make up for us and your spunky personality. I know you are going to help make Ashley into a stunning bride. Can’t wait to see what look she goes for! I know no matter what her natural beauty is going to shine.

Tanning: Plush Tan

Dannielle, Dannielle, Dannielle… where would we be without you?! Your ability to transform our paleness into the perfect bronzed gold is pretty miraculous thank you for that.

Paper Goods: Cherish Paperie and Pitbulls and Posies

We are so excited to have a joint collaboration between Cherish Paperie and Pitbulls and Posies to come up with some amazing paper goods for this wedding! We know that everything will be spectacular!

Catering: Huntington Catering and DJ: Austin Hendrix Productions

Food and entertainment are often times the two elements that guests look forward to the most, so between Huntington’s delicious food and DJ Austin’s sweet beats they should be pretty satisfied! We helped Ashley put together her play list and are really looking forward to gettin’ down on the dance floor!

Linens: La Tavola and Shout out Booth
La Tavola is one of my newest obsessions… Have you seen the linens they offer?! They have everything from elegant and classy to fun and playful. Not to mention their team is one of the best in the industry – always extremely helpful and eager to please their client.

Have any of you heard of the Shout Out Booth?! It’s a photo AND video booth! All of Ashey’s guests will get to record live video messages for the newlyweds. We’ll be sure to share some of our favorite messages with you after the wedding!

Inspired by This Real Wedding-Blush Pink and Shabby Chic Wedding by the Beach

Leila — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 18:04:29 +0000

I’m so excited to share this amazing wedding by one of my favorite photographers Stephanie Williams. I love the sweet shabby chic feel of this wedding. The bride and groom were married at the lovely Mary Star of the Sea church in La Jolla with reception at the Darlington House. Stephanie + Heather from Amorology did an amazing job coordinating the days events and all the lovely decor! Amazing cakes + desserts by Sweet Cheeks Baking Company. Gorgeous wedding dress by Anne Barge. Flowers by KLF Floral and the Blue Breeze Band kept all the guests dancing!

Inspired by These Wedding Tulips

Leila — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 17:25:59 +0000

I LOVE tulips! They can successfully work their way into several settings and look completely natural. They pop up at elegant dinners, playful parties, in a garden, and on your kitchen table. I like to think I have the same adaptive abilities :- )

My favorite tulip is the parrot and no surprise to my devoted readers, green is my favorite. I love their modified mullet appeal-business on the bottom and party on top. I love that even when you cut them they continue to grow! They seem to have a resolve all their own. What a nice reminder for us in business and in life. Go on… be resilient, be beautiful, be you. Have a great weekend!
