Wedding – Country Style
The details of this wedding are so gorgeous! I couldn’t fit all my favs onto my blog post so you will just have to go check out Steven Myers’ blog for more.
Impress Me With Cake!
I get truly impressed by some of the ultra-talented cake designers around the US. I’m even going to spotlight my favorites every now and then because I just have to share the eye candy-cake!
Below are some of the most creative and charming designs I have seen, by Pink Cake Box
Wedding Day Creativity
How much do I love outside-the-box thinking when it comes to the wedding day? Adore it! Changing it up is very encouraged. No need to follow the book, unless you want to, of course.
This wedding has vintage and fun splashed all over it. Photos by Jen Stewart Photography.
Just take a look at the beautiful and glamorous venue, the Crest Theatre. Perfect setting for creating a Hollywood Elegance feel.
Kym & Andrew
The wedding ceremony of Kym and Andrew was short but so sweet. Kym and I have sent so many brides down the aisle and here was her turn to shine. She looked amazing. I walked into her bridal room at the church to give a band-aid to one of her bridesmaids and I see Kym in the back, fanning herself and I asked her – “Are you crying already?” She said she had just read a letter Andrew had sent over to her. She held it together pretty good until the toasts!
At the reception, Kym’s dad spoke about her as a child and his love for his daughter. He wrote her a poem and that pretty much opened the flood gates, for me that is! I could not stop crying and then I started thinking of my own baby girl and that made it worse. Well, Kym was also very emotional, and of course that makes me more emotional….you get the picture. Touching and so memorable. The March family is so full of love and they are just the warmest people.
As an added perk, guests were able to choose an El Adobe staple, the enchilada and chile relleno meal complete with beans and rice. Chips and salsa on the table and Coronas from the bar – guests were set!
Are they just the most beautiful couple? Kym & Andrew’s wedding was FUN! I think it is a great compliment to the couple when you can actually say you had fun at their wedding and don’t want it to end. Well, it did end for us but with a sweet ending, indeed! My hubby and I left with a bag filled with yummy sour candy from Kym’s great sweet bar.

Eram & Anees – A Bit of Eye Candy
Courtesy of the lovely Amy Squires, here are some beautiful peeks at the wedding of Eram and Anees at the Hyatt Regency Resort & Spa in Huntington Beach.
There were so many details like the buri fans for female guests, trays of sweet yummy dates handed out to guests after the ceremony, the drummer, chocolate-colored lighting, wishing tree with hanging votives, and much more that made this event just breathtaking in every way.
I’m overly excited to see every single picture from Eram and Anees’s wedding day!
Bridal Magazines – What are you reading?
Here is the Stat of the Week regarding bride’s use of national vs. local magazines. Do you have any favorite magazines? Any that stood out to you during your wedding planning? We would love to know!
Extra Special Wedding
Tomorrow, June 6th, 2009 will be one of our most special weddings ever. It’s Kym’s wedding day and she is a Charming Events Lead Coordinator and has even branched out on her own recently.
Kym began with CE as in intern back in 2007 and she really wowed me and all our clients. Her organization and attention to the details were evident as she attended as many events as possible, learning the A to Z’s of planning, management, timing and all other aspects of what we do.
I’m SO excited for her wedding tomorrow. Not just to see her walk down the aisle but to have some fun and enjoy her day’s specifics like the beautiful church ceremony, flowers, colors, margaritas, Trista’s work, and oh did I mention margaritas?
