It’s no secret that The Ritz-Carlton is one of my favorite places… and weddings like this remind me of just how lucky we are to live here in CA, just a short drive from such amazing places! The view, the ocean breeze, the blue water, it is just the perfect backdrop to say “I Do”.

Sandra and Wayne live in AZ and were planning a small, intimate affair for their closest friends and family in CA. Looking for someone to be her eyes and ears here in California, I jumped on board and begin assembling an All-Star team of vendors to flawlessly execute her big day!

Light pinks and ivory were used in the stunning flowers by Elegant By Design. Karla did an amazing job with the arrangements, they were a showstopper! We chose a gold chair and a beautiful textured linen, brining warmth to the Plaza ballroom. A ton of candlelight was used with a crisp white dance floor to complete the look.
