this past weekend was ah-mazing, and one of my favorite so far in 2010! it was a weekend full of weddings! it was a weekend to celebrate 2 of our wonderful couples that we are so lucky to have worked with!!! it was a weekend to kick off the busiest time of year for us! it was a weekend to introduce the new absolutely intern, monica, to the wonderful world of weddings! (i think she is officially "hooked!") and it was a weekend to work with some fantastic vendors!!!
first, on friday, we had a southern style, tent wedding reception for jillian and jon at the coronado marriott and ceremony at sacred heart on coronado. everywhere that the eye could see was prettiness!! and everything that was experienced by jillian and jon and their guests was wonderfulness!! gorgeous linens from concepts event design and white paper lanterns blowing in the breeze outside of the tent for cocktail hour and hung inside the tent on dimmer lighting thanks to the allstar group! sunflowers and other gorgeous wild flowers and green adorned the tables and made up the gorgeous bouquets and other personal flowers of the bridal party and family, thanks to the always talented leigh of posies flowers!! guests were treated to a great dinner by the coronado marriott, scrumptious cake by st. tropez, and to delicious mini-donuts made on-site by the fabulous dolce donuts; and dolce was kind enough to make sure that everyone, vendors included, got to partake in their tasty treats! everyone in attendance as a guest and working the event as a vendor were lucky enough to listen to the sounds of tim altbaum who did a great job as dj and mc for the night! and thanks to amore (video) and frozen motion photography, all of the prettiness and wonderfulness of the night has been captured forever!!!
