My cousin Eric married the girl of his dreams yesterday in beautiful Mission Bay. It was such a sweet ceremony…lots of laughs and tears of joy. I just LOVE weddings. CONGRATS to Eric + Denice! XoXo

The Bride & Bridesmaids arrived in style in a Classic Pink Cadillac

The Bride tried to steal a kiss before the ceremony began =)

I have been DYING to see pics from this wedding.

Can you guess why? I’ll give you one guess…

That’s right! I too, was married at the Del Mar Plaza. SUCH an awesome location!

BIG HUGE congrats to Brad & Lindsey who were married in May of this year!!!

THEY’RE HERE!!! More pics from Alisa & Matt’s beautiful Grand Del Mar wedding! If you want more, and I know you do…be sure to visit Ohana Photography for the rest of these unbelievable photos! I have known the bride since we were sophmores in high school (Go Lancers….ha ha…can’t believe I just said that!). I am so over the moon happy for these two!

Hot, Hot, Hot!

One of my Faves!

The Handsome Groom!

CUTE!

Kingston (you first met him here)!

Congrats to Alisa & Matt…xoxo

Are you still looking for the perfect outdoor wedding venue? This beautiful oak tree is at Santa Barbara’s Firestone Vineyard and was originally two separate trees that grew together forming this beautiful backdrop for an outdoor wedding!

We went to the Riviera Resort & Spa for a much needed relaxation weekend getaway…and it was fantastic! The Riviera originally opened it’s doors in 1959, but just underwent a $70 million dollar renovation and it is spectacular! If you are considering a mini destination wedding, look no further than the Riviera in Palm Springs! This location would be PERFECT for a Hollywood Glam themed wedding. With all of the beautiful chandeliers and damask print, it would almost be as if the whole resort was decorated just for your wedding! Food and service were excellent. The only thing we were a little disappointed with was the spa…towels & water were low or empty and there were NO clocks anywhere. The locker/steam rooms are teeny tiny, but the Buddha Lounge is cool and the massages were great. I also got a sugar scrub which was fantastic. Spa prices were very reasonable as were our rooms. We didn’t go in the pool, but it was a fun atmosphere…perfect for a bachelor or bachelorette party.

(Pics from our trip…sign in the front of the resort, Chris & I lounging near the pool table, pool table, and a photo montage so you can see a bit of the decor…all taken with my iphone of course!)

I remember coming across this wedding when I was in the midst of planning my own wedding. It was featured in the 2008 San Diego edition of Ceremony Magazine. Talk about wedding inspiration!!!

The bride and groom met while living across the street from each other when they were sophmores at Cal Poly. The groom proposed by carving “will you marry me” into the pier where they had carved their initials years earlier (awwww-too cute). They were married at the beautiful Hotel Del Coronado.

Floral design was by Adorations, which is one of my most favorite florists of all time! Rustic summer & fall colors were used throughout to create this beautiful event. Everything Lavonne does truly is botanical artistry! I am in awe every time I come across a wedding done by Adorations.

The bride wore an antique ivory, silk taffeta, mermaid style Ines Di Santo gown. Her BEAUTIFUL jewelry is by Regina B. Bridesmaid dresses are by Jenny Yoo.

And last, but most certainly not least…all photos are by another one of my favorites…LunaPhoto. Paula and Mike Luna are AMAZING wedding photographers based in San Diego. Their work has been featured on numerous wedding websites and magazines. To see more details from this wedding, check out the LunaPhoto Blog. You will not be disappointed.
