Hello all! Hope everyone had an fun Labor Day weekend as we celebrate the end of the summer. Personally I love Fall so I'm definitely ready for cooler weather to be with us all and done with this hot and humid Southern California weather we've been experiencing.

Today I'm posting about our most recent wedding we covered at the Newport Beach Marriott Hotel & Spa. I first met Mary through Allison from Flower Allie in May and I immediately knew that her and I would get a long. Mary had already hired a previous florist/planner to help them with her wedding planning but unfortunately her previous vendor was expecting and wouldn't be able to be there for her wedding day. I'm really glad that Mary & I met since she is an absolute gem to work with. She remained calm & graceful from the first day we did our consultation to the moments before she walked down the aisle. I love the spirit that Mary & Mark embodies with such kindness and true love for one another. They've known each other since they were young and we're actually "set up" by their own siblings & cousins. This is our first Coptic Orthodox ceremony and it was such an amazing experience for us to be a part of. One of the perks that I truly enjoy about this business is meeting people from different cultures so witnessing this ceremony was such a treat for us. 

From the time we spent together planning all the details of their wedding day, you can sense that Mark truly treats Mary as his queen. We wish both of you well and thank you for entrusting us with all of the details of your wedding day.

I wanted to share a few of my favorite pictures from their engagement session that was taken by their photographer, D2 Photography. Can't wait to see all the details that they have been working on unfold this weekend!!Click here to view the rest of their shoot.

This was such a fun wedding for me to be a part of and a great start to my 2013. When I first met Debbie during our consult last year, I knew right away that we would get along. She was super sweet, and just very relaxed with the whole wedding planning. Debbie & Jason planned their wedding day in just 8 short months and everything turned out beautifully. The wedding was at the Anaheim Sheraton Hotel across from the Disneyland/California Adventure Theme Park.  I was amazed at how gorgeous the hotels grounds especially their ceremony koi pond site was but also at how warm and attentive the hotel staff were to everyone in the wedding and their guests (including the vendor team). The purple hue that Debbie & Jason chose for their wedding complimented the lushness of the grounds very well. Thank you for having me as part of your day and I wish you both the best for a happy lifetime of love and family!
