I am so very fortunate to be able to work with some amazing people in my career…Danah and Ahmad are among my favorite! This couple is the picture of elegance and to be in their presence just makes you feel special. It was such a pleasure to work with these two and to help them create their wedding celebration. The intimate gathering of 60 of their closest friends and family, took place at the beautiful Ritz Carlton Laguna Niguel, where Erin Choi and her talented team took great care of us. Thank you to the beautiful Amelia Lyon and her handsome husband, Justin for these gorgeous pictures! The floral artistry is the work of the brilliant team at Square Root (of course)! Congratulations, Danah and Ahmad! xoxo,-k

Gila + Andrew….Dana Point, California

admin — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 20:12:18 +0000

As Gila and Andrew prepared to walk down the aisle last weekend, there was a quiet calm about them. The kind of calm that exists when you know you are right where you’re supposed to be. On that day and at that very moment, that was where Gila and Andrew were…right where they were supposed to be. I thoroughly enjoyed working with this wonderful couple! And their wedding day was a wonderful celebration of family, friends and love. The design for the day was drawn from Gila’s favorite color….purple! We created an elegant atmosphere with lots of bling! Thank you to Sandy Chiu and her amazing staff at the Laguna Cliffs Marriott for their assistance in creating a seamless day! A special thank you to the fabulous Nisie Vorchard of Enchanted Florist for the beautiful floral design, amazing service (as always!) and the beautiful chuppah!

A very special shout out to my girl, Julie Weaver at Julie Weaver Photography for these amazing images….thank you, thank you! I love working with you! Congratulations, Andrew and Gila!

08.08.08…robin + steve @ The Montage Resort and Spa- laguna beach

admin — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 22:21:27 +0000

08.08.08…a very special day for a very special couple. Just a few short months ago I met Robin and she is a pure delight! Robin and Steve chose the breathtaking Montage Resort and Spa for the setting of their celebration. We quickly went to work creating the details of their wedding day. Robin’s central focus was to create an event that was fun and intimate, but that also had visual impact and was consistent with their passion for architecture. So we had the wonderful challenge of incorporating the elements of stainless steel and plexiglass with soft florals and brilliant lighting that reflected from ample glass surfaces. So, who better to call on to help us achieve this look than the wonderful Jeff Johnson and the crew at Square Root floral design and the brilliant Mike Ivey at Pro Audio and Lighting. The results were breathtaking and the artistic genius of Chenin Boutwell of Boutwell Studio captured it all! The amazing Jaime Snyder and the staff from the Montage made sure that Steve and Robin’s guests celebrated in style as every detail was attended to and the food and beverages were superb! A special thank you to Fusion Linens and Classic Party Rentals for helping to complete the look, Innovation Invitation for embracing our theme and creating the stunning engraved stainless steel invitations and table numbers and El Beso Cigars for your hand rolled specialities! Thank you, Robin and Steve! It was an honor to work with you…xoxo!

unshakable love…maria + michael- san juan capistrano

admin — Wed, 28 May 2008 22:17:04 +0000

One of the many things I love about Maria and Michael is that they are the type of people who know what they like and they don’t sweat the small stuff. So, when they approached me about planning this beautiful celebration for their family and friends, the fact that we had a mere 8 weeks to pull this off did not phase them. They were unshakable in their decisions and this became priceless as we went to work assembling a wonderful team of vendors to complete the day. What we didn’t know was that our beautiful May weather was about to take a turn! Our plans for this amazing outdoor fete quickly became challenged by the torrential rain and hurricane force winds that faced us just days before the wedding and with no end in sight! (okay,maybe the weather just seemed that bad from my native California perspective! Once again, Maria and Michael were unshakable in their faith and optimism that their wedding day would be a perfect celebration, rain and all! With much gratitude to Lewis Barker and his amazing team at Barker Decor Services who risked life and limb ( again, a minor exaggeration to construct this amazing open-air structure, we pulled it off! And with no exaggeration and literally 20 minutes before guests began arriving, the wind stopped and the sun came out..a true testament to Maria and Michael’s unshakable love. Congratulations you two! It was an honor to be a part of your day! Here is a complete list of the wonderful people that made the day possible! 24 Carrots Catering, Sonny Alexander Flowers did a wonderful job in interpreting our wishes for an organic design with a modern twist! Icons Band provided the fun and funky 80’s tunes, Classic Party Rentals, Fusion Linens, Its All About the Cake, the incredible team at Barker Decor Service, And I cannot say enough about the wonderful Chenin Boutwell of Boutwell Studio. She is pure delight from head to toe and has provided these stunning images.thank you, Chenin!
