Celebrity Wedding: Niecy Nash


I love the show "Clean House" and was so excited to see it's host tie the knot.

She used a very popular color for weddings which is lavendar & had an outdoor wedding at a Church Estate Vineyards (same place Fergie got married) in Malibu, California.
My colleague, Heidi Ryder took all the photos and did a fabulous job. This must have been a really fun wedding ot be at. Wish I could have been there...























The cake was from the fabulous bakery in Santa Monica called Vanilla Bake Shop. They're stuff is really good.

And she followed the trend of the matching but mismatching bridesmaid dresses, allowing each girl to choose her own style & flair. Love that!!!

Real Wedding: Kelley & Rob, Part 2

 This wedding was inspired by an old southern mansion. The bride & her mother wanted it to feel as if the guests were invited to their home & were wined & dined with the best food, best entertainment, and best decor they could find.
 So we used a lot of vintage elements which were rented from Archive Vintage Rentals and filled with floral decor by Peony & Plum who knocked it out of the park, yet again.
 For the main table we used a natural wood table setup as a kings banquet table with a white runner, china plates in 4 different colorful patterns and auntique silverware from Classic Party Rentals.  

 The cake by Fantasty Frostings was covered in handmade sugar rosepetals and sat atop a fabulous linen from La Tavola. We accented the table with simple mercury glass votive holders, miniature pink spray roses in full heads & petals to give it a simple romantic look.

Real Wedding: Kelley & Rob, Part 1

When we sat down and talked about the look of this wedding, the bride Kelley and her mom, Ludie, said they wanted it to feel as if you were invited into an old southern mansion. This was the theme throughout the wedding infusing so many personal touches as if each piece was taken out of someones home. 
  The ceremony took place at the groom's parents house in their backyard. This place had special significance, since it was here that Rob proposed to Kelley.
 The floral design by Peony & Plum exceeded everyone's expectations and was the talk of the party. The one-of-a-kind floral wreath chandelier that was suspended from the oak tree in the back yard of the groom's parents home was an amazing focal point for the backyard ceremony.
 We used many props that were in the home including the blue and white vase filled with florals and lemons to help accent our beverage station.
 Moss Initials were created to hang at th entrance to the backyard and were later repurposed at the escort card table.
 Calligraphy Katrina did all of the calligraphy for this wedding including this tent card for the antique handkercheifs.
As soon as I set foot in the backyard I knew the tree was the perfect spot for the ceremony. And accented by the floral wreath chandelier and the swagged leaves down the aisle with clusters of florals and lemons just completed the look. 
The bride's dress was a custom couture gown by Alina Pizzano Couture based locally in Pasadena.
I love these photos in the rose garden which is where the groom proposed to his beautiful bride.

Real Inspiration: Multicultural Glam - The Couple

This is part 2 of our Multicultural Glam shoot that I did with a fabulous team of vendors.

It was captured by Picotte Weddings who not only worked behind the lense, but in front as well.
 The lovely & gorgeous Suthi & her husband Sanjay jumped in at the last minute to model for the shoot and had their associate, Star, capture the images of the 2 of them.
 The stunning bouquet by Peony & Plum was filled with orange and red roses, pink ranunculus, golden and purple dendrobium orchids, purple anemones and lisianthus, pink cymbidium orchids, red kangaroo paw, succulents, and peacock feathers. I am in love!!! 
 The bride wore a hand made hair piece by Flora Bond which included white feathers, vintage fabric and vintage rhinestones. So gorgeous.
 Hair & Makeup was done by the fabulous team at Fiore Beauty. So to die for.
 The amazing wedding dress with lace accents was created by my girl Alina of Alina Pizzano Couture. She's based in Pasadena and her work is just impecable.
 The groom wore a traditional Indian outfit that he actually wore when he and Suthi got married a couple of years ago. Love that he got some extra use out of it.
 The boutonniere was created using a purple anemone and peacock feather by Peony & Plum.
 The shoot took place at the historic Ebell of Los Angeles which was an amazing backdrop for all of these photos.
 Suthi donned a second outfit, a traditional Inidan sari. The color is just amazing on her.
 The bouquet from Peony & Plum just pops against the red sari. Love it!!
 I love that photographers capture all the details of the day, down to the shoes, literally.
 Again, The Ebell, was a fantastic backdrop, a canvas if you will for this shoot.
 And how gorgeous is Suthi's authentic Indian jewelry. I mean wow.




Stay tuned to see the rest of the details of the shoot: escort card table, coffee bar, invitation, and the cake. I can't wait to show you.
