real DIY wedding

I’m going to end this week with a sweet wedding photographed.I love the simplicity, down-home feeling !

Allison and Bart had a DIY rustic backyard wedding. I love the lavender bouquets and mismatched bridesmaid dresses.  From Allison: For our April wedding we wanted a California Mediterranean feel with olive branches, lavender, and light pastel colors. We wanted to have our wedding somewhere close by so all of our friends could make it, and so our families from out of town could see the beautiful area where we decided to settle in together. We also wanted to support the local vendors. After looking at pictures of the Portola Inn, we were sold. It had the perfect layout and look, beautiful landscaping backed by oaks and central coast mountain views.

We met Scotty from Scotty’s BBQ outside the local Santa Margarita Tavern and after trying some of his food thought he’d be the perfect fit! We are lucky enough to have some very talented friends, Laura (bridesmaid) made the cake, and she and Chris (the best man) also sang us a duet of “All I Want is You” by Narry Louis Polisar. Bart tried to serenade Allison with an Eric Church song “Love your Love the Most.” Eric Church is slightly better. Our other friend James Martinez (groomsmen) is a pianist for the Shout House of San Diego made the perfect announcer… even if he didn’t get the site name correct

Beach Wedding Dresses in Laguna Beach:

Everyone has an on wedding planning, there is a hot air balloon, there on the sand dunes, there are at the beach. . .

I knew I had to share it when quite Laguna Beach wedding landed in my inbox . After he attended Laguna Beach wedding in a very fancy hotel once I (Paul McCartney and his then-wife Heather Mills watched from the balcony, and even sent champagne to the couple for their adoption) I know how amazing this setting actually is.and planned special day perfectly and caught Leila Brewster, it's one of those classic wedding every girl dreams of.

At each place setting the ceremony brought a translator to translate the hand-made origami cranes.

Ritsuko Sean learned to speak Japanese to seamlessly fit into her life when she When in Japan . All their guests entered from the east coast and her family from Japan. Southern California was their compromise - their guests meet in the middle! A great start to a marriage, do not you think?
