Krystle & Francis wed in June at the Pelican Hill Resort in Newport Coast. Krystle & Francis live in Hong Kong, with families in Canada and HK. They have a love for traveling and wanted to have a destination wedding in Southern California. It is not too common for me to plan a wedding in the middle of the week, but it was a lucky date! They started off their wedding week with a dinner party poolside (photos coming later) at the Colisuem Grill, but the fabulous banquets team serviced the amazing cook out. A Taste of California, flavors from SF to the OC. I got to sample the seafood cioppini, delicious, but the beet salad with walnut vinaigrette, I am in love!

They kept the destination wedding concept throughout their paper goods from a travel booklet for their save the date to passport wedding programs. At guest check in, each guest received pajamas and bathroom tote (one that you would get on British Airways first class) filled with goodies, and necessities like Purell and tide sticks. I think they have traveled to almost every continent, not sure on Antarctica?

They started off the morning with a traditional Chinese tea ceremony honoring the parents and elders. Their wedding was absolutely beautiful. Fiori Fresco worked their magic and designed the ceremony site and reception with heavy romantic florals that looked soft and pretty. The bride wanted a classic look of gold accents with her blush flowers. Peonies are her favorite, aren’t they every girls favorite, if not, they should be! Krystle looked amazing in all 5 of her wedding dresses, Vera Wang (this is not even out yet, I think she got the first one form the store to show off, and she bought it off the rack) Marchesa, Monique Lhullier too! From her variety of different dresses and jewelry, Krystle definitely has great style. James Gang Band and Mike Soltani rocked the house! Elysium was there to showoff their same day edit skills, which was posted earlier. And the ever amazing Ira came out from NY while Samuel tag teamed. Wow, Lippke brothers together at one wedding….haven’t seen that in years!

Our office had a lot of fun last night going up to LA and visiting with Tara at Vera Wang! She showed us so many beautiful wedding gowns. I loved looking at the wedding dress that Sara Jessica Parker wore in the first Sex and the City Movie, and all the intricate detail that went into making the dress. There is an upcoming truck show in November so be sure to make your Vera appointments!

Not only are the wedding dresses a vision, but on our way out of the store we could not help but ooh and ahh over the accessories and shoes! Very edgy but glam, and lots of fun! I think these accessories would be great for spicing up an outfit or even as a gift! Here are a few photos of some of the different accessories and shoes by Vera.

Thank you Tara for showing us around last night!
