Weddingbee PRO
I have been wanting to post about this wedding for such a long time now, but had to wait until the fabulous spread came out in Utterly Engaged which is an amazing wedding resource for any bride or vendor. I was so happy to be featured in the online magazine and am glad I can share it with you now! This wedding had such an fabulous team behind it because Aaron & Barbara hand picked their wedding industry favorites, and since Aaron is a fabulous wedding photographer, they knew exactly who they wanted working on their wedding!
This was the first time I had the pleasure of working with Christina from Simply Modern Weddings and I was blown away with her attention to detail and overall design concept. She is not only talented, but one of the sweetest people ever! I was also lucky enough to have Gabriel Ryan Photography documenting the beautiful day. I love Gabriel & Carlie so much and am always overjoyed when I find out they are going to be shooting my desserts. Weddingbee PRO Kristin from The Treasured Petal matched the floral design perfectly with the Spanish Flamenco theme…love her! Those are just a few of the talented vendors at the wedding…definitely check out the end of the post to get the rest of the scoop! So without further ado here are the gorgeous photos!!!
The wedding took place at Casa Romantica, which is located in San Clemente, CA.
This past Tuesday night I had the pleasure of working with some of the very best in the wedding industry as we put on a Halloween Bash! Since I am a little raced on time today I am borrowing Carissa's, from JL Designs, info from her site! Here's how she describes the fabulous night…
When yelena johnson of the stylish soiree and i decided we wanted to throw a fun halloween party for about 40-50 people it started off very small scale…but once we started tweeting it, the guest count quickly grew to over 150 people! and we just figured the more the better! let them come… 
The initial design concept was kind of a playful vintage but as we got closer to the event and we kept finding new inspirations, it definitely morphed into something a bit more gothic, a bit more victorian and a bit darker…for the florals and decor pieces, i knew i wanted to go with all muted, lifeless colors…nothing bright or vibrant…and almost all of the vessels, candlesticks, platters, gravy boats, frames, mirrors, etc. were thrifted in order to keep an authentic, vintage feel…
I REALLY loved how everything turned out and just hours before the party began, the clouds rolled in, the wind got CRAZY (hello blackouts!) and it made for a perfect, eerie halloween setting…
The incredible photos are the the uber talented Meg Perotti! They are beyond gorgeous! Thanks you, thanks you!

Rebecca Sutterby, owner of Sugar Creations was asked by a national bridal magazine to design a wedding cake for a special issue next year. She drew inspiration from one of the bouquets I made last year, and the contacted me to give me the details!
We surprised Emily for her birthday last week and took her to go visit Weddingbee PRO Sweet and Saucy. First off I can't tell you how sweet owner Melody is. She made us a plate of special treats, that not only look spectacular but may actually be the best sweets I have ever had. The entire office was completely smitten and we all got treats to bring home as well!
How adorable is Melody's office? I adore the grouping of pictures she has on her wall, and that vintage table and chairs!! So cute!! I must say we had such an amazing time and we all vowed to have Sweet and Saucy treats at every event possible. The cake pops were my absolute favorite, so moist! Of course the candy bar cupcake (chocolate filling, peanut butter cream cheese frosting and salty caramel) was definitely swoonworthy…We all will be finding an excuse to return here very soon.
Hopefully you know by now that I believe that it's the details that are most important! No matter what event you are trying to put on and no matter what budget you have, you can definitely make your event unforgettable if you spend time on the details. This wedding is a perfect example of that! The fabulous Jesi Haack was at it again and outdid herself with creative touches throughout the event that pulled through the passion and personality of her clients. The main color scheme for their wedding was black, white, and apple green and we definitely had a lot of fun with it! The fabulous venue was the Red Horse Barn and the wonderful rentals were from Classic Party Rentals! Thanks to Matthew Morgan we have gorgeous images of the special day! I think he captured the couple, Ryan & Danielle, perfectly! Of course I had to throw in some of my photos as well since I am obsessed with my camera!
When I first met with the bride and her mother about 6 months ago for a consultation, I automatically knew that I really wanted to book this wedding! They were fun, creative, and full of excitement for their big day. And being from Texas and having a wedding here in California, they had done their homework and found Courtney Toney, from Joyful Weddings & Events, to help plan for their wedding. I can't stress enough how important it is to have a fabulous planner, whether for the whole wedding process or at least just for the day of… they can make your wedding 10 times more enjoyable, creative, and memorable. Courtney recommend Carissa, from JL Designs to our clients too and they fell in love (like they always do!). So now I was really wanting the job and luckily they wanted me too! This was such a fun wedding to plan for and was full of pops of color, fresh flowers, and cute details. When I got to the venue I was blown away with the set-up that Courtney & Carissa had pulled off… it was just perfect! Here are some fabulous photos from Melissa Kelsey Photography of the day… enjoy!
Well, when my sweet friends Gabriel & Carlie, who are also the fabulous photography team behind Gabriel Ryan Photography, asked me if I could help out with some sweet treats for their baby shower, I jumped at the chance! Not only are they the sweetest couple ever, but some of the most talented and amazingly creative too! They also recruited Jesi Haack, from Jesi Haack Weddings, and Carissa, from JL Designs, to help out with the design and florals too… how could I ever turn down that dream team opportunity! Those two ladies surprise me every time with their fresh, new ideas…
Little Lincoln's day was one for the books: the style, creativity, and love behind this event is clearly evident in the photos to come! Everyone added their special touch to the day and it turned out perfect! I am so excited for Carlie and Gabriel and blessed to have them, and soon baby Lincoln, in my life! Another fun perk of the day was that I got to use my NEW CAMERA! I have basically been wanting a professional camera for 4 years now and recently was able to get one for my birthday… I have been ADDICTED ever since! I even bought a new purse so my new little baby would be able to go everywhere with me. Gabriel was kind enough to go with me camera shopping and boy was I happy! I got a Canon 50D, a 50mm lens, and a 28-135mm lens. Of course Gabriel's fabulous photos outshine mine by a million degrees, but I thought I would include some of my detail shots for the heck of it! I hope you enjoy the eye candy!
Ok so from the moment I heard the name I was smitten, Sweet and Saucy! So cute! But seriously take a look at Melody's adorable pastry shop, located in Long Beach, and you will see what I mean. Melody has a love for mini desserts, which I have to say are not only fabulous but truly unique.
One blessing that comes with my job is being able to help dear friends and family out on the most special day of their life… their wedding!!! A couple months ago I got to make the wedding cake for my brother-in-law and future sister-in-law. They are such an awesome pair together and I am so happy to have them both as part of my family! Their wedding day was filled with lots of fun, family, and friends. The color scheme for their wedding was red, black, and white and had a Spanish flair to it, so I decided to do sugar jewels and deep red sugar roses. I loved the stacking of the cake and overall the day was a blast! Here are some photos from the day!
