Museum Nights

An absolutely adorable wedding was created for our equally adorable bride Kyle last month at the San Diego Museum of Art. It was so fun and eclectic with a countless amount of owls, joined by such fun details as vases wrapped in maps and elements from the couple’s home upon each guest table.

Leading the charge was the ever so charming and talented Thomas of Thomas Bui Lifestyle, under his spell was was the dynamic team of Concepts Event Design, Wicked Spoon, TK&A and us of course!

Here are some of our images of the event with professionals soon to follow, enjoy!

Detail shot of Kyle’s studded bouquet!

The whole shebang…

…plus an owl of course!

Part of Kyle and Tim’s eclectic “Ceremony in the Round”. Each of the sixteen bridal party members placed a ceremonial prop down upon the altar after walking it down the aisle, as a form of communal ceremony and performance art.

Each guest table had black, white and wrapped vases filled with lush red, white and gray florals. Each of these settings was joined by an item from the couple’s home as well as books and vintage candles.

Each wrapped vase was enveloped in love notes, map paper, imported handmade paper from Europe, burlap or lace.

Guests departed the museum amidst a starry night fair well, hundreds of candles sparkled the steps of the museum upon departure.

At the end of the year we had the pleasure of producing some fun mod florals for a shoot upon Andaz San Diego. Along with The Posh Knot, A Perfect Table, Luxe Event Rentals,  Paper Scissors Print, Melissa Rae and Co, Hair Ya Go all shot by Fonyat Photographer.

Here are some fun shots of our chevron runner, embedded sparkle and a super fun bride’s maid luncheon!

Our first wedding of the year was a really fun one! Set in the gorgeous backdrop of Santaluz Club House, this super sweet vintage wedding was just perfect. With the designing eye and execution of Wynn at Wynn Austin Events, the charming sounds of Still Listening and the tasty display by CAKE, how could anything go wrong?

Here are some fun shots of the day, enjoy!

Fall at the Lodge

As a cool breeze shifts the air, the leaves start to fall and the holiday music begins to pipe, we can’t help but enjoy this change in the season. And where better to spend it but at The Lodge at Torrey Pines. Here is a fun wedding we did recently with Suzanne of BB Weddings and Events on the beautiful grounds of The Lodge.

Enjoy!

Hot off the International Press!

We’re always thrilled when we get press in the United States, whether it’s here in San Diego or clear across the country. However when our recognition goes international, that’s just extra exciting! Recently Sharon was interviewed for a three page article about the company’s work here in the US. They were interested in trends that we involved in that have not yet made it across the pond. Here are images of those pictures from Braut (Bride) Magazine of Sharon’s three page, currently running through Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
