Let Them Eat Cake!

Carrie Johnson — Tue, 01 May 2012 19:49:13 +0000

Shout out to a couple of our past Bride’s, Catherine & Megan, for having their wedding cake featured in the Pelican Hill Magazine! Both of their wedding cakes were created in house at Pelican’s party department and beautifully complimented their individual styles of their weddings. Kudos to Jasmine Star for capturing Catherine’s wedding cake and Victor Sizemore for photographing Megan’s cake. Be sure to read the article, “Let Them Eat Cake”, to hear about pastry chef, Jeff Lehuede’s thoughts on wedding cake. Chef Lehuede believes that all Pelican Brides should not save the top tier of their wedding cake to eat a year later. Instead, he will recreate the top tier of the wedding cake for the Bride and Groom on their 1 year anniversary so they can enjoy cake that actually tastes like it did on their wedding!

Monique + Mike Featured in Destination I Do Magazine

Jeannie — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 23:07:36 +0000

Monique and Mike make a beautiful couple and we wanted to share their wedding featured in the Spring 2012 issue of Destination I Do Magazine! Their wedding took place at the St. Regis Monarch Beach, which was an intimate celebration with their close family and friends. The ceremony was outdoors on the Gazebo Lawn followed by a reception in Club 19, that was part in doors and out doors, with gorgeous views of the manicured golf course and Pacific Ocean. Big kudos to Jasmine Star for photographing these pretty pics (you rock girl!), and R. Jack Balthazar for the flowers and decor. I loved the simple color palette of white, creams, grey and hints of blue. Shout out to gourmetinvitations.com for the lovely paper goods! Be sure to pick up a copy of Destination I Do Magazine’s Spring 2012 issue to see the full feature of Monique & Mike’s wedding.

Meghan & Andrew’s Wedding featured in Smitten Magzine

Jeannie — Wed, 21 Mar 2012 00:39:33 +0000

Our very own Details Details Bride and Groom, Meghan and Andrew, were featured in Smitten Magazine’s March/April 2012 issue. They had their wedding at the St. Regis Resort in Monarch Beach California with an elegant theme with soft white, sand, blue, and gray colors. The bride had a gorgeous mermaid gown designed by Vera Wang that went beautifully with her bouquet of all white orchids. They had dinner outside…dancing under the stars on a summer night, and they didn’t stop letting loose once the band was done. Definitely had a fun After Party where the groom spontaneously performed with the band an unscripted performance to the song “Safety Dance.” How fun!

Chelsea & Omid’s Wedding Featured in Aroos Magazine

Carrie Johnson — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 04:55:40 +0000

We are delighted to see our very own, Chelsea, and her husband Omid’s wedding featured in the Winter 2011/2012 Aroos Magazine. Chelsea & Omid got married at Pelican Hill and had two wedding ceremonies that day to incorporate both of their cultures. Their sofreh ceremony was in Pelican’s La Capella Ballroom (specailly designed by Omid’s Mother, Ashley) and their 2nd ceremony was out on the Event Lawn (you got to love the hanging chandeliers)! The wedding was planned by Jeannie and designed by Sunny at White Lilac. Chelsea and Omid selected a color scheme of whites, silvers, and mink to keep the room in mainly cool tones, warm and inviting. I loved the manzanita trees with hanging glass orbs, crystals, and gardenias, which added a touch of a modern feel to the room. Shout out to Triplecord Photography for these lovely photos and Elysium Productions for creating the awesome wedding video. DJ Mike Soltani kept the party going with the tunes going all night! Thank you to Nichelle with Details a la Carte for creating their invitations and paper goods. It was fun for our team to see this feature as Chelsea looked absolutely radiant and glowed with happiness on her big day!

Pastel Wedding Photo Shoot at Coordinator Confab

Carrie Johnson — Tue, 06 Mar 2012 20:29:22 +0000

We are honored to see our Pastel Wedding Photo Shoot from our second Coordinator Confab seminar featured on The Wedding Chicks blog yesterday! It was such a great photo shoot with many talented vendors behind the scenes. We had the photo shoot at the SLS Hotel where we held Coordinator Confab (such a fun and unique venue), and had the table outdoors on the Garden Terrace. We can’t thank Sunny and the crew at White Lilac enough for all the amazingness they did designing and creating the tabletop decor. Inspired by the pretty pastel colors of mint green, sky blue, pale pink, and soft yellow, White Lilac put their heart and soul into this shoot wrapping and decorating all the adorable presents across the table! Sunny ordered about 500 colorful macaroons to go on the colorful cake stands…which made for a pretty decor element and yummy dessert after dinner. Not only did White Lilac provide us with the sweet design, their very own Yasmine, was our gorgeous model for the day! Yasmine wore a wedding dress designed by Dawn Kim with Atelier and was glammed up with hair and makeup done by the talented, Berit with Makeup by Berit. Shout out to our photographer, Mike Colon for capturing all the fun details on the shoot (Mike Colon rocks!). Thanks to Elaine with Papermade Designs for creating the paper goods…we loved the watercolor ombre and lace details! Kudos to Steven with Chiavari Chair Rentals, and Revelry Event Designers for the rental furniture! We can’t forget the ombre cake made by Vanilla Bake Shop, and the ombre soaps for the guest favors that just tied in the wedding theme perfectly.

We had an amazing time at Coordinator Confab and enjoyed working on this photo shoot tabletop for all our attendees. Thanks to everyone for being a part of making Coordinator Confab and this photo shoot so memorable!

Natasha & Fred’s Wedding at The London West Hollywood, featured on Style Me Pretty

Jeannie — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 22:50:11 +0000

It was fun seeing Natasha & Fred’s wedding featured this week on Style Me Pretty! Here is a little bit about their special day at The London West Hollywood!

Natasha and Fred, living thousands of miles apart, her in China and him in New York, planning a destination wedding in Los Angeles at The London West Hollywood. You would have to have a fun easy going personality to pull off long distance anything, and Natasha was all that. One of the sweetest, sincerest people I have met, with a generous heart and relinquished trust to all those she met. She gave Carissa with JL Designs and I great freedom, to create a modern crisp chic rooftop wedding. Natasha swooned over grey pumpkins! And how fitting for an October wedding as they were in season just weeks before her date. Table tops featured light grey and white chain link pattern runners, with ceramic white vases, cream and white flowers, grey succulents, fuzzy dusty miller leaves, and pop of eggplant callas and burgundy dahlias. A letterpress invite cotton paper was created by Nichelle from Details A La Carte who went bananas over the type font and off center layout. “Eat Drink and be married” menu cards adorned each place setting with chocolate truffles and succulent accents. The best gift, was Natasha’s sister made their wedding cake and cupcake desserts! I LOVE their photos by Jan Garcia Photography. Jan truly captured the beauty of the couple and the fun details of the wedding!
