Real Wedding: Lauren & Steven

Not much that I can't say about this couple. They were hilarious! Steven the outgoing "I-want-to-bust a-move" Groom and Lauren was the "Please-don't-make-me-dance-to Get Ready for This by 2 Unlimited-for-our-Grand Entrance" Bride and I love assisting them with every minute of the wedding. Each meeting was full of silly laughter that Steven created while Lauren shook her head and smirked at his quirky banter. Check out the beautiful photos from this wedding below.

Lauren was a gorgeous bride. Even with having a 3' rip in her dress and having to clean it with club soda multiple, yes, multiple times. She was a trooper throughout the whole day and Steven dived right in to assist in making his bride whole again.

Now that's L-O-V-E!

The decor for the ceremony was the perfect accent to the Bell Tower Courtyard at the Temecula Winery.

This puzzle piece guest book was not only fun and unique but quite the conversation starter among the guests.

Anything with crystals and lush flowers is enough to lust over!

I fell in love with this Cake Ball Cake...guests raved about it. 

Best wishes and lifelong joy to Lauren & Steven!

Real Wedding: Shana & Todd

Shana and Todd came to us with a clear vision in mind. They were planning a wedding! Yes, we know, that's what we do, that is the business we are in, wedding planning! What was slightly different is that the total guest count would be 5 (including the bride & groom). Yes, you read that correctly F-I-V-E! When we heard that, we instantly knew we had to assist in planning this wedding. The thought of such an intimate affair was so heart warming and exciting.

It was so much fun collaborating with the vendors and the bride & groom on how everything would take place. The couple knew right away that they would hold the reception dinner at their favorite restaurant. They are regulars at the Wine Vault & Bistro and the owners and employees know them by name. It was an awesome experience.

Shana knew that she wanted everything to tie together so she made sure that her guests (her brother and future in-laws) were all color coordinated with the wedding, which consisted of white and teal.

I love this photo! The bride stayed at the Manchester Grand Hyatt. There in the background, hangs a painting of Alcazar Gardens, same place as her wedding ceremony. Uncanny!

Such a beautiful and classic photo!

Todd was very much involved in the wedding planning and was so excited to be marrying his beautiful bride!

These bells were the perfect touch for the ceremony. Balboa Park has bells that ring every 15 minutes so it was a fitting match.

Just weeks before the garden was pretty barren, everything bloomed just in time to create a beautiful ambiance for the intimate ceremony.

ONe of my favorite details of this wedding was the bagpiper leading the family in a parade to the Prado for cocktails prior to heading over to the dinner reception at the Wine Vault & Bistro.

Shana's brother so wonderfully coordinated with the color scheme of the wedding.

It was a real joy & pleasure working with this couple. They went on to have two additional wedding celebrations in Lewiston & Holyoke!

We wish Shana & Todd lifelong love and happiness!

Real Wedding: Darnell & Tshawnda

For the first time ever, Oh So Chic started off the year with a New Year's Eve and New Year's Day Wedding. We were lucky enough to be a part of two wonderful celebrations with two wonderful couples.

Darnell & Tshawnda were married on January 1, 2011 at The North Chapel. Tshawnda works in the medical field for the Navy and Darnell is training for the Olympic US wrestling team. Needless to say, these two were pretty busy with work during the planning process but they were very easy going and a pleasure to work with. They informed me that almost all of their 55 or so guests would be coming in from out of state so I knew it would be a day full of love and indeed it was.

Enjoy!

Engagement Love: Shana & Todd

Shana and Todd are set to be married this year in April in the beautiful Alcazar Garden at Balboa Park and will have a very intimate wedding with less than 10 people in attendance. I'm thrilled to be a part of something so special. I'm very excited to see this beautiful occasion come to life.

Enjoy the beautiful engagement photos from Adam Baruh Photography!

This was my favorite photo of the session. So sweet...
