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.

Fabulous Find: J Crew Wedding Dresses

So many brides these days, including my own, have chosen J Crew as their bridesmaids dress designer.

And now the look, style, and fabrics they love can be theirs too, as their gorgeous wedding dress.

The silhouettes are so classic and elegant and timeless.

And, bonus, most of the dresses ranging from $99 (no joke) to $3,500. Not too shabby.

Vendor Pick: Alina Pizzano Couture

I had the pleasure of meeting Alina a month ago when Lina Wallace and I were asked to plan a launch party for Calligraphy Katrina at her boutique.

Each dress is custom created and made for each bride. No one else in the world will be wearing you're dress.

And prices start at just $2,500 for a custom couture gown.

Her boutique is in Pasadena and she will take care of you. Believe me.

Alina Pizzano does truly beautiful work.
