Oh So Chic Wedding & Event Planning: Real Wedding: Jeff & Susana

Ahh...where to begin with Jeff & Susana...I adore this couple. We first met after Susana submitted an inquiry through my website. Her exact words in the e-mail: " I am interested in meeting with you as soon as possible to see if we are a good match. I need help planning my wedding so that I don't pull my hair out.". I replied to her immediately stating that I couldn't have a bride pulling her hair out and that we must meet ASAP to see how I could help. Long story short, I met with Jeff & Susana and it was like hanging out with long time friends.

They originally wanted to have a 2013 wedding but had already planned to have a civil ceremony in early 2012. One day, to my surprise, I received a call from the bride stating they wanted to move forward with a full blown wedding in a month!!! I quickly started making contact with some of San Diego's Finest Wedding Vendors to see if they were available for this low key weekday wedding and boy were my fellow colleagues eager and willing. The rest is history...enjoy the photos!

Just beautiful...

Sunflowers! What the bride wants, she gets.

Floral cups hung from the umbrellas outside on the patio where cocktail hour was held.

The one request that the bride truly had but was not within budget was a mariachi band. How cool is it that her parent's made it happen! Love surprises during a wedding!

One of the statements Susan made during one of our meetins was that she didn't want to go into the sand. She was adament that she didn't want the ceremony to be in the sand and she didn't even want to take photos in the sand. I had to tease her when I saw the photos like this one of her having a ball in the sand with her new husband. Too cute ;-)
