Blue and Ivory

Andrea and Ross were a pleasure to work with while planning for their intimate wedding.  Blue is quickly becoming one of the more popular wedding colors and it was no surprise when they chose blue and ivory for their wedding colors.  Their families were kind enough to take over the task of decorating the hall for their special day!  Mom took over the flower arrangements while friends and cousins helped out with party favors and candles.

Their event was a huge success and they did a phenomenal job!  Although their wedding was small, the guests had a great time and stayed until the very end!

Great Music

Its always nice to see family helping out with planning a wedding.  Frank's wedding was certainly no exception.  Erika, Frank's sister, was on top of everything!  From calling the vendors to making sure the decor was perfect, she was a huge help to this bride and groom.  The flowers were done by Liz from Royal Flowers (http://www.royalfloristonline.com/)

They had added many of their own personal touches to the wedding including making great party favors for each guest and these looked unbelievably amazing.  Their DJ, Martin, was by far one of the best DJ's we have ever heard.  Not only did he do a great job with the music but we was awesome on the mic and was making sure everything was organized during the wedding.  His website is www.martinxmusic.com.  Their florist not only did a beautiful job decorating the cake with white orchids with hints of purple but also with her amazing centerpieces. 

Grand Grand Entrance!

Arun and Ashany both live in New York but since Ashany's family lives in So Cal, they decided to have their wedding reception in Orange County. They wanted a 5 STAR wedding and they went all out. We had a little over a year to plan this Indian reception. 
The look was more of a fusion feel with traditional Indian wedding colors such as gold being used for the wedding ceremony and a cool ice blue with plum and deep pinks for accents during the reception.  

Every wedding has a grand entrance but Arun decided to take this to a different level - arriving on an ELEPHANT during the Bharat. This is when the bride’s family receives the groom and his family before the ceremony begins. 3D lead the procession with the guest dancing to Bollywood songs and Arun on the ELEPHANT behind the crowd. He was so calm and cool (I would have been very nervous if I was on top a massive animal like an elephant).  

Since both ceremony and reception were held at Pacific Hills, we really wanted to create two different looks for the reception and the ceremony. 

We used champagne/gold satin linens for the ceremony with a simple lotus flower candle in the middle of each round table, with rose petals. The stage where the actual ceremony took place was covered with matching champagne fabric with floral topiaries hanging from the ceiling.  Ashany wanted a very open 3 dimensional feel for the mundap so we did not do a traditional Indian mundap. Back drop was done with a velvet lavender fabric and hanging crystals and strings of roses. For lunch a vegetarian South Indian buffet was set up.
The Ice blue color looked amazing in the lobby as well as the ballroom during the reception. To give the ballroom a complete different feel from the ceremony, we used 8’ tables from Signature Party in addition to round tables. All of the votives were covered with a plum colored ribbon and all the floating candles were painted plum as well. We brought in a white dance floor with a monogram of their names on it.
Their wedding cake was from Let Them Eat Cake by Christopher Garren in Newport Beach.  The design was extremely detailed and the taste was….amazing!!
In addition to the wedding cake the guest enjoyed an array French pasties and mini cakes for dessert.
Arun and Ashany had us take care of everything from the food to decorations as well recommending their DJ, photographer and videographer, and we really enjoyed working with them.

All the vendors including Sound Nation (www.soundnationla.com), Global Photography (www.globalphotography.net), and Robles Video (www.roblesvideo.com) did a great job making their night a memorable one.

Ethiopian Wedding

Hillina and Ernest wanted a very grand wedding and they definitely needed to plan for one since they were expecting over 500 guests!  They wanted to make sure that the ballroom looked elegant without it being overcrowded.  Many of the details were put together by them and by their very talented coordinator Clara Ross from (www.clarasperfectoccasions.com). This was the first Ethiopian wedding we experienced at our venue and we must say it was definitely one that will have a lasting memory for us.  We had never seen guests have so much fun at a wedding and dance so much.  They hired a great band and a DJ which played both American and Ethiopian songs throughout the night.  We particularly liked all the great Ethiopian songs that they played and all the great customs that were performed during the reception.   

Black, White and Red

We are getting more and more couples requesting black and white as their wedding colors and Steve and Vy were no exception.  We made sure that all their colors matched and exceeded their expectations.  We also offer a new upgrade which is draping the entire ballroom in white and this brings the true look of our LED lights into effect.  Vy was one of our most organized and creative brides.  She actually put together all of her centerpieces!  The pictures below are proof that this was a beautiful and fabulous event!

Amazing Indian Wedding

After meeting Deepa and Pradi as guests at our venue for other Indian weddings, we were so excited to host their big day!  It was an all day event at Pacific Hills! We started with an intimate morning ceremony followed by lunch provided by Jay Bharat. Four hours later the couple arrived to a revamped room full of guests excited to toast to their new venture!  Dinner was provided by Manohar’s Delhi Palace (they have the best garlic naan and butter chicken).  We provided all the flowers and décor for this wedding and were thrilled to provide two completely different looks for the ceremony and the reception. 

 

Pink, Pink and MORE Pink!

That was the theme of Melissa and Jeff’s wedding.  It is always refreshing when the bride puts her personal touch into the wedding.  This is especially true when it involves putting together some of the décor.   Melissa had customized everything from the napkin rings to the votive candles and we assisted her in making her pink wedding vision come to life!  The beautiful flower arrangements were by Dawn Hansen from Lavender Hill (www.lavenderhilloc.com).
