REAL WEDDING SHENANIGANS: CHRISTINE & JOHNNY

Marni Farmer August 7, 2022

Christine and Johnny held their wedding at the beautiful Bel Air Bay Club. With a ceremony on the lawn overlooking the ocean, and a stunning reception in the ballroom, this was a wedding fit for a princess. A large standing mirror seating chart, and tall floral centerpieces helped to create a romantic and elegant fell that went perfectly with the grand features of the venue. A dessert display complete with a macaroon tower was the perfect top off to a wonderful evening. Congratulations you two!

Real Wedding Shenanigans: Abby & Cory

Marni Farmer July 28, 2017

A day filled with warm sand and ocean breezes, Dana Point Ocean Institute was the ideal private and intimate location for Abby and Cory. With a splendid scenic view and perfect backdrop, the couple gathered with family and friends to share their ceremony. Adding a special element, vintage rugs were placed in a zig-zag fashion leading up to the water. Carrying from the ceremony to the reception, natural tones of greenery were used to capture this beautiful day!

Katie and Joe were hitched at the majestic Adamson House in Malibu. The state park museum and gardens overlooked the Pacific Ocean, with a priceless view and unforgettable ambiance. This sweet ceremony took place under a gorgeous oak tree in the gardens. Guests then enjoyed signature cocktails, food trucks for dinner, and danced the night away under the stars with the ocean waves crashing in the background.

Shannon and Aric held an intimate, family-only wedding ceremony at the gazeebo at Heisler Park in beautiful Laguna Beach. Two weeks later, the newlyweds hosted a rockin' reception at the Soka University Black Box Theatre. Shannon designed a vintage, jazz-themed fete inspired by peacock feathers, jewel tones, and New Orleans. As a jazz singer herself, the bride serenaded guests with a 17-piece big band backing her, creating an old school jazz club ambience.
