Santa Barbara Historical Museum Wedding

We were honored to help Samantha and Brooks plan their lovely wedding and they were such a joy to work with. They were surrounded by so much love coming from their closest friends and family! We would like to extend a huge thank you and to the photographer: Ashleigh Taylor. She captured every detail and emotion perfectly! We would also like to share that we worked with an incredible new local company, Simply Bouquets. They are perfect for the DIY bride who would like to create her own centerpieces, and then Jennifer & Claudia create the incredible bouquets, and boutonnières! Such a genius idea and the bride was so thrilled with their work!  Pure Joy Catering did a wonderful job working with the spanish themed menu and their displays were simply perfect.

VIVA LA FIESTA~

Summer Loving Inspiration

We have always been head over heels for the "Dandelion" Table Linen from La Tavola! So I created this inspiration board to show what La Fete would do with this fun table design!  I love the contrast of the Grey, Yellow and Turquoise and think this look would be perfect for an outdoor brunch or bridal shower!

Our Son Ryan and his Beautiful Bride Trish!

I so enjoyed planning this fun day for Ryan and Trish. The colors just were so beautiful at the Polo Club. We had perfect weather that day! My dear friend Melissa Musgrove captured all the details at the wedding, and Tim Halberg was so kind to assist her on the day of. Our hearts were overwhelmed thanks to the amazing talents and labor of love by many of our friends in the industry. La Tavola linens, Classic Party Rentals, Cody Floral Design, and La Fond & Pampered Palate Fine Catering at the Polo Club. Tracy Lazaro did an beautiful job on all the little special touches. Ambient Event Design, draped the ceremony structure, and added all the ambiance in our reception. Everyone really out did themselves and Kaitlin and I were able to relax and enjoy this wonderful family event.

Los Angeles Style Unveiled Features Kaitlin's Wedding

Click on the box above to see this beautiful post done by Los Angeles Style Unveiled highlighting the wedding Kaitlin did for Barbara and Azad...simply beautiful! Lots of amazing shots and gorgeous pops of color!

Rainy skies lifted for Barbara and Azad

I had the pleasure of working on the most amazing wedding for Barbara and Azad. Although the morning was a bit soggy- due to rain, the skies parted about an hour before the ceremony began. The couple chose a double ceremony to show two cultures coming together as one. First, a Persian ceremony was lead by Azad's Grandmother, followed by a Catholic ceremony directed by Rev. Jerry Bellamy. As you can already see the weather did not get in the way of their adorable personalities. Harvard Photography was able to capture every detail along with the romantic chemistry between the two. Including the hysterical photo of "Indiana Jones" on an quest to remove his brides garter! The florist- Grass Roots added a punch of color with the gorgeous orange arrangements they created. I would like to thank Bia at SBB Gourmet Catering, the food and service they provided was wonderful. Christine Dahl never lets me down, she designs beautiful cakes that always taste just as good as they look. And last but certainly not least, I know I could not have done this event without the help of Nicole and her amazing team at Classic Party Rentals. I think they brought every umbrella they had in stock!!
