One of the most beautiful spots for a wedding ceremony is offered by Candelas on Coronado. Toes in the sand, lapping waves and a backdrop of America’s Finest City – downtown San Diego.

Even better was officiating the wedding ceremony for Jen and Jon on October 5. What a sweet couple!!

“Jon and I cannot thank you enough for officiating our wedding. The ceremony was so beautiful because of you. We will always remember your kind words and how comfortable you made us feel on a day when we were already excited and anxious. Thank you for helping us personalize our ceremony. It was perfect and we loved it. Thank you! Jen & Jon”

Always impressive photography by Philip DeFalco.

The couple borrowed from her family’s love of the ocean and sailing. For their unity ceremony they “tied the knot”.

Just Married! Jon and Jen really played up their oceanfront ceremony, with starfish hanging from the arch.

A Magic Garden Wedding

Posted in Outdoor Weddings, Park Wedding, Themes, Uncategorized, Wedding Ceremony, tagged , , , , , on November 2, 2012| Leave a Comment »

Kate and Duncan held their wedding ceremony and celebration Sept. 29 at one of my absolute favorite venues for a wedding – San Diego Botanical Gardens (formerly known as Quail Gardens) in Encinitas.

Just Married!

It was a pleasure to work with Kate and Duncan in planning their wedding. Kate had such a clear and thorough vision, and Duncan was happy to see Kate happy! What a great duo.

“We wanted to thank you again for making our wedding so incredibly
special! It was a dream come true, and it would not have come together
without your professionalism, support, and patience. All our friends
and family complimented us on how magical everything was, and we owe so much of that to you. .”– Kate & Duncan

These gorgeous manzanita branches served to display the placecard “leaves” as table assignments for the guests.

The Gardens offer such a magical environment, and string market lights as well as an abundance of votive candles and twinkly lights complete the fairyland vision.

With the groom’s scottish background it was a perfect touch to have a bagpiper play after the ceremony and lead the guests through the gardens and down to the cocktail hour!

Good Time Photo Booth added some fun during the cocktail hour and at the reception

Kate’s unique touches such as burlap table runners, wooden chalkboard station menus, and mason jars wove together a complete vision of rustic whimsy.

What an incredible team to create this celebration!:

April 1st Wedding – No joke!

Posted in Ceremony and Reception Locations, Decor, Favors, Outdoor Weddings, Themes, Wedding Dresses, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on April 14, 2012| Leave a Comment »

For their April 1 wedding celebration at Grand Pacific Palisades in Carlsbad, this couple playfully executed a fun springtime event with grace and whimsy.
From pinwheels in the arbor to argyle socks reflecting their gray & yellow theme, Katy and Troy were so fun and fun-loving!

Cutest funnest blingiest bridal shoes ever!

Their creative execution of playful surprises throughout the wedding made this such a memorable event, and fun for their guests as well.
Friends and family got in on the act as well – Mother of the Bride created all of the centerpieces with florals from a wholesaler, and friends put set up a fun interactive Candy Bar for guests to take home goodies.

Katy & Troy: fun-loving and in love

“Gayle did everything we hoped she said she would and more. . . . it was absolutely the best choice we made in the entire wedding process. The fact that I could relax and enjoy my day with my new husband, family and friends knowing that everything was taken care of was invaluable.”

Wedding guests can make their own to-go bag favor of goodies from the candy bar!

Congratulations you two!
