Guess the Dress #3 | The White Flower Bridal Boutique

By, June 10, 2015

Our “Guess the Dress” challenge continues with this week’s beautiful wedding gown from The White Flower Bridal Boutique. Located in Bankers Hill /Uptown San Diego, this cute boutique has been attracting fashion-minded brides since 2009!

In this photo, our lovely bride Courtney is showcasing a stunning fit and flare gown made of beautiful tiered French Alençon lace and English net tulle. Featured at the natural waist is a Swarovski beaded sash, which is embellished with a delicate floral motif. It is a stunner for sure. Let’s see if you can identify the designer :)

Who is the designer of the wedding dress shown here?

Answer: The White Flower Bridal Boutique still offers this spectacular Eve of Milady wedding dress by special order :)

According to Kathy Hughes at The White Flower, this year has felt like a transitional year in wedding gown design. In the past, singular trends were very clear (ex: lace, bohemian, etc). But in 2015, anything different is in. “Brides seem to be comfortable branching out from the traditional, and are embracing styles such as intricate beading, a dramatic low back, or a stunningly sleek silhouette,” says Kathy. “Brides want to wear something that they haven’t seen before, and they are willing to step outside of the box a bit to achieve that.”

When shopping for a dress, Kathy advises to trust yourself and your own instincts. “Don’t let a consultant or a store persuade you into a dress that you don’t love,” she says. “It really should be so much fun! You will try on many gorgeous dresses, but one will simply feel far more special than the others.”

The White Flower is located at the Park Laurel building across from San Diego’s world famous Balboa Park. The chic urban setting and proximity to the Gaslamp Quarter makes this boutique a favorite destination of many brides to be.

“Our consultants absolutely love their jobs and truly are the most genuine and lovely women. On top of all that, we have some gorgeous gowns too!”

Enchanting Garden Ceremony | Vista Valley Country Club

By, April 03, 2015

Tucked away in North County San Diego lies Vista Valley Country Club. This magical ceremony location is situated just beyond the rolling hills of a beautiful golf course. When you enter through the grand Provence gates, you will find a gorgeous secluded area, surrounded by trees and greenery. From there, an inviting stone pathway leads you around a charming fountain and past a small pond. Venture on and you’ll see a beautiful pergola on a raised stone platform. It is this tranquil spot where Jennifer and Anthony exchanged their “I Do’s.”

Ever since this adoring couple first visited Vista Valley Country Club, they were captivated. They returned several months later, on a sunlit January afternoon, and became husband and wife. We just love the perspective of this shot overlooking the ceremony site!

Charmingly Rustic Wedding | Quail Haven Farm

By, February 17, 2015

Have you ever walked into a wedding and instantly felt like it reflected the couple, and completely captured their dynamic together? Let us tell you – this wedding is so Stan & Ziba. It’s the perfect blend of the Americana boy marrying the Persian beaut!

The event was held at Quail Haven Farm, and the venue’s rustic charm was personalized with touches from both of their heritages. As well, the couple added a touch of vintage wedding elegance. Check out this special day, and how well it suited the happy couple :)

The Ceremony

Quail Haven’s English garden lawn area is naturally tranquil and secluded, making it a very intimate ceremony location. For a touch of delicate beauty, Ziba and Stan added a few floral accents to this outdoor oasis. Instant paradise :)

The Persian-American ceremony kicked off with a Sofre-Aghd, or wedding spread, which is customary in Persian marriage. The elaborate set up included several foods and decorations, each representing an element of life together as newlyweds.  During the ceremony, two sugar cones were softly ground together over the heads of the couple, signifying a “shower of sweetness.”  The couple then participated in American traditions, such as the exchanging of vows and rings.

Our favorite moment was capturing the raw emotion that Stan expressed as he caught his first look of Ziba walking down the aisle. The big kiss at the end of ceremony was certainly magical too!

The Reception

As sparkling twinkle lights illuminated the covered outdoor patio, the daytime ceremony transitioned to a lively nighttime reception. Guests found their seats at tables festooned with wild garden arrangements, and were tempted by the nearby dessert table display.  At the cue of the music, Ziba and Stan made their grand entrance, and went right into their first dance as husband and wife.

The evening that followed was filled with great food, lively music and intervals of wedding traditions. There was even an appearance by a Persian belly dancer, who taught a few moves to the upbeat and joyous crowd! Congrats again to Ziba & Stan! :)
