Rancho Valencia Resort ‘vintage’ style decor
Ah, the charm of Rancho Valencia Resort gets us every time. We jumped with glee at the opportunity to create their table at the recent Hitched! bridal showcase in Del Mar. This is our way of interpreting the magic of the Rancho Valencia Resort. Imagine entering into perfectly serene grounds filled with orange groves, lush landscaping, and inviting spanish haciendas with old world charm. This alluring resort tickles your every senses. Our display for this table included gorgeous spring blooms in butter yellow, sherbet, and creamy white hues. We lined the rustic table with a vintage lace runner and scattered bushels of lemons and orange lossoms. Elegant blooms of cattleya orchids, hyacinths, and ranunculus were gather together and placed in charming vintage tea tins, and an old world candelabra festooned with cherry blossoms and springtime florals. We truly look forward to the grand reopening of the luxurious resort!
We look forward to many more events with the fabulous Tracy Schwatz, romance and catering director at the Rancho Valencia Resort. Big thanks to Joseph Matthew Photography for these gorgeous images.

Exquisite dessert table decor
Within the pages of this season’s fabulous Exquisite Weddings magazine, you’ll find our delicious dessert display captured by the talented Terri Rippee. Aileen Tran, our event stylist, harmonized gold and silver in this metallic themed candy station by adding blush pink touches and a nod to Roaring 20′s vintage glamour. We teamed up with Jennifer Daillard of J Grace Designs, who provided the luxurious stationary and her signature paper. Ostrich feathers, tassels, and beaded fringe adorned the platters, cakes stands, and apothecary jars. Gilded chocolate rosette and art nouveau inspired shells were propped on trays lined with J Grace’s elegant embossed paper. A nostalgic treat like kettle corn turned into something posh when we put them in glamorized retro striped paper cones. Gold sugar flower topped cupcakes, gold leafed french macarons, and silver jordan almonds individually packaged in custom monogrammed bags were our version of ultimate indulgence. A gold rosette backdrop and luxe sequin linen sent this flapper fantasy over the top…Enjoy!

Hotel Del Coronado Wedding featured in Ceremony Magazine
This wedding had all the elements to be the over the top gorgeous wedding of the year. The setting, the beautiful bride and of course the over abundance of flowers. We were ecstatic that Ceremony Magazine has chosen to feature this on their latest publication. We were so fortunate peonies were still available for this June wedding. It played a major role along with the luscious white phalaenopsis orchids for this wedding. The wedding ceremony was set on the infamous Windsor lawn overlooking the pacific ocean followed by the dinner reception in the gorgeous Grand ballroom. I love the classic and elegant ceremony decor using the neutral soft palettes. The bride walked through the fresh thick petal path leading to the large wedding canopy adorned with hundred of soft fluffy white peonies. The cocktail hour was also held on the oceanfront lawn. The escort table displaying the guests cards featured the deep bold orange color with navy blue accent, a perfect compliment to the bridesmaids’ Jcrew dresses. Guests were then led to the beautiful Grand ballroom at the hotel Del Coronado for the dinner reception where large exquisite floral centerpieces consisting of primarily white blooms with hints of orange (The Bride’s favorite color!) We used white peonies, roses, hydrangeas, tulips and gorgeous phalaenopis orchids. Elegant candle holders were bedazzled with feathers and brooches surrounding each stunning floral piece. Our signature floral pieces graced each table beautifully in this Grand ballroom. If you have ever been in this room, you would know what I mean. The 40 feet ceiling with it’s vintage chandeliers demands a stunning floral display on each table and this wedding had that and more. The beautiful custom dance floor designed by Platinum pro made a striking statement in center of this grand ballroom, what a great addition!
Congratulations Laura and Patrick on your gorgeous wedding and magazine feature! This wedding was beautifully planned by Crown Weddings. I am grateful for the beautiful images from Pam Scott and their main Photographer Luna Photo.
