Spotlight on Isari Flower Studio + Event Design | Real Wedding at Hotel Del Coronado

By True Photography, August 21, 2013 Flowers, Vendor Spotlight

The Hotel Del Coronado is notable for many reasons, including its combination of casual beachfront, lush exterior, and formal ballroom. So when Jennifer and Trent decided on a tropical and elegant look for their wedding, the Hotel Del was a perfect choice. To help bring their vision to life, the couple called upon Isari Flower Studio to create beautiful floral arrangements. Isari’s breathtaking floral design not only complemented the historic beauty of the Hotel Del, but also spotlighted the bride’s favorite color – purple!

Once the purple theme was established, orchids quickly became a go-to flower. Isari incorporated different varieties of orchids, with hues ranging from vibrant magenta to deep plum. For example, the bride’s bouquet was comprised of royal purple vanda orchids and eggplant-toned picasso calla lillies.

For the beachside ceremony, set against the Pacific Ocean, Isari Flower Studio helped to create a dreamy atmosphere. To mark the beginning of the aisle, Isari placed two tall statement pieces in elegant pillars at the back of the reception area. These tall bouquets overflowed with vanda and mokara orchids, as well as periwinkle and grape-hued hydrangeas. The petal-covered aisle directed guests to an arbor, with ferns set at the base for a lush, overgrown beach look. The arbor flowed with white sheer fabric, and featured dangling glass orbs, each holding a single bloom.

Because Jennifer’s dress was sheer and flowy in design, it also contributed to the beach vibe, as did her as fuchsia vanda orchid hair piece. To add a hint of elegance, Jennifer wore her hair in a formal up-do. Bridesmaids were dressed in long, eggplant-toned dresses with rhinestone emblems at the waist, and the men sported a classic look in their black and white tuxes. This bridal party was dressed to the nines, and had a blast letting loose on the beach!

Isari Flower Studio brought the tropical flair indoors too. As guests entered Hotel Del’s classical ballroom, they were treated to vibrant orchid arrangements in stunning mercury glass and crystal vases, as well as floating orchid centerpieces.

As the night was ending, and the live jazz band was wrapping up, guests filtered into an 80s karaoke after-party room decked out with gold tinsel curtains. And to complete the party vibe, there were neon sunglasses for all! Between the beautifully distinctive florals, the charm of the Hotel Del, and the glamorous bridal couple, this wedding was the perfect blend of elegance, sophistication and fun!

An Intimate Candlelit Wedding Coordinated by Sweet Blossom Weddings

By True Photography, May 28, 2013 Design, Vendor Spotlight

Megan and Matt were married at the U.S. Grant, a stunning venue in the heart of San Diego’s Gaslamp District. Three months before her wedding to Matt, Megan met with Melissa, owner of Sweet Blossom Weddings. There was an instant connection, and Megan asked Melissa and Sweet Blossom Weddings to help with the day-of coordination of her wedding.

Megan began her day getting pampered by her bridesmaids. Meanwhile, Matt got himself looking dapper, and spent quality time hanging out with his guys.

Melissa made sure to include plenty of time for pictures around town, and in the hotel, including a “First Look.” We just love the smile on Matt’s face when he sees his bride for the first time.

Megan and Matt are a fun-loving couple, and they were up for absolutely anything, even playing in traffic!

Megan had over 50 candles placed throughout the Chairman’s Room at the U.S. Grant, where she and Matt exchanged their vows. Very romantic!

Megan and Matt’s reception was held in the Crystal Ballroom, which glowed with chandeliers, candlelight, and an elegant fireplace. The vibe of the room was intimate and cozy, which is exactly what Megan had initially envisioned.

We thought this custom cake topper was especially cute, and really helped to showcase Megan and Matt’s personalities.

Because Sweet Blossom Weddings was there to take care of all of the details, our happy couple were able to completely relax, and dance the night away! Thanks Melissa for such a job well done. We can’t wait to work with you again in the near future!

A Redondo Beach Wedding at the Library | Coordinated by Natalie Sofer Weddings and Events

By True Photography, May 20, 2013 Design, Vendor Spotlight

When Larisa and Greg were first engaged in October of 2012, they knew they wanted Natalie Sofer to assist them in planning the wedding of their dreams. Natalie runs a full-service event planning company in the Los Angeles area, and also provides month-of and day-of packages. By putting their trust in Natalie and her team, Larisa and Greg were able to relax and celebrate their wedding!

The afternoon started at the beach, an hour before the ceremony, where Larisa and Greg saw each other for the first time that day.

For the ceremony, Larisa and Greg shared their vows at St. Cross Episcopal Church, followed by a grand reception at the Redondo Beach Historic Library.

The reception was an elegant and intimate affair, filled with many personal touches. In the rear of the reception, bookshelves prominently displayed family photos, and a beautifully handmade marriage certificate was presented for all of the guests to sign.

Since both Larisa and Greg are huge movie buffs, the reception featured an “at the movies” theme. Each table was named after a favorite film, and unique and fun table placeholders helped guests find their dinner destination.

On their first date, Larisa and Greg had eaten at Canters Deli in Los Angeles, and shared a black and white cookie. To incorporate this fun fact into the wedding, there were individually handmade cookies for each guest to take home. We love that Larisa and Greg really infused their personalities and lives into their wedding day!

Larisa and Greg had expressed a desire to dance a lot during the reception, and to relax and celebrate with friends and family. Natalie was able to come up with a wedding day timeline that enabled them to do just that.
