We had the great honor of co-hosting the Association of Bridal Consultant’s (ABC) Favorite Things Event on Wednesday evening at the one and only Prado in Balboa Park! I am working through sharing the featured apps, ideas, locations and products that I am most excited about. There were so many to select from. What’s a girl to do?
I was introduced to a company called, Ivory Sparrow which is right here in our backyard of San Diego. They customize the most decadent and heavenly wraps and robes for the pampering that comes before the merry occasions. I had the opportunity to introduce them and actually feel the softness of their fabrics and I am telling you ladies, it is amazing! Not only that but the packaging and presentation makes the perfect gift for your bridesmaids, moms, flower girls and even your groom. While you are at it, let’s not forget your wedding planner! Did I mention that they can be personalized?
They also offer Swarovski embellished flip flops packaged in a satin bag as well as two different options for a coordinating cotton totes. Wrap it all together and you have a gift that anyone would swoon over! Not to mention, how picture perfect would it be to have all of your ladies coordinated in style for any prep shots taken before you get into your gown.
I found that one of my savvy and stylish brides gifted these lovely wraps for her bridal party at her wedding. The one and only Miss Jessica is pictured with her girls below. Check out the full post on the Ivory Sparrow Blog!
Pamela and Mark selected San Diego as the destination city for their wedding weekend. It was important to these hard working attorneys from Houston, that their guests be treated to fun and relaxation in our finest city. On Friday, guests were invited to a rehearsal luncheon at The Prado in Balboa Park followed by a welcome dinner reception at Bondi in the Gaslamp Quarter. Come Saturday, it was time for the wedding!
Maryanne of McGuire Photography captured the first meeting with Pamela and Mark as they got a few special moments with one another before the ceremony.
Sharon Mintz and her team at Organic Elements provided the most fragrant bouquets of vibrant colors.
The Grand Ballroom at The Prado in Balboa Park was the spectacular setting for their dinner reception. Marcy and her team at The Prado were spot on with service and hospitality!
Pamela and Mark are movie buffs from way back and decided to name each of their tables after a symbolic movie in their lives. On the back of each card, they wrote why they selected it and included their favorite quote. This was such a personal touch and they were written so well that guests actually went from table to table to read them (myself included).
Pamela wore a Carolina Herrera gown adorned with dots. It was perfectly suited for her personality. The ladies wore a perfect shade of blue to compliment the gentlemen’s attire.
Merrylin with Artistic Productions kept the party going all evening long. This group loved to dance and engaged in the hora as often as possible.
Congratulation Pamela and Mark. It was such a delight working with you!
Cheers to a lifetime of love and happiness.
Noel and Bret came to Liz Beck Events with a vision: a vintage-modern wedding on a private estate adjacent to a golf course. We used Noel’s dress as inspiration for vintage. We used Noel and Bret’s personal design style to draw from for modern. Executing their day was a team effort with all the incredible vendors involved: White Wedding Day for overall production from lights to a crisp white dance floor to magical crystals in the trees, Classic Party Rentals for stunning glassware, cutlery, etc., Annette Gomez Flowers to bring in an earthy charm with birch wood, plums and pinks, Urban Kitchen for the culinary look and taste Noel and Bret were after, Sharif for the ceremony acoustic guitar and vocals, Greg from Events by Design as master of ceremonies for the evening, Sweet Cheeks Baking Co. for cake, and Justin Lee to capture it all.
Sharif setting the mood during pre-ceremony snacks and sangria. Plum and pink arrangements floating above the organic cotton linen. There was a mix of high and low centerpieces for the square and rectangular tables set across the lawn.
Appetizers ready for guests to enjoy. Sharing a chair in the pool-side lounge area.
Glowing dance floor lit with market stringers and paper lanterns. Posing on the mint green sofa.
Twirling sparklers after a successful send off of the bride and groom. They ran through a canopy of sparklers to their vintage car.
Cheers! Hanging out around the dressed up, oversized, all-around fabulous bar. 
There’s that delicious mint green sofa again… Congratulations, Noel and Bret!!

We are excited about the recent photo shoot for the upcoming issue of San Diego Style Weddings. Natalie and I wanted to pull from our east coast roots and blended a little New England prep with some So Cal Coastal to create this tablescape. We had the opportunity to collaborate with Alyta of Jolie Fleur to infuse color and style into the Valencia Lawn at the Rancho Bernardo Inn.
A special thank you to 1 Look Back Photography.
Keep an eye out for the next issue of San Diego Style Weddings to see more images from this photo shoot along an LBE featured wedding. One of our favorite couples (Kate and Chris) have had their wedding selected to be part of SDWS next ussue!
bustle was asked to promote the first GREEN Wedding Party Bridal Show on NBC. Natalie and I are working to put together an education pavilion called “The Green Room” within the Bridal Show to educate brides about ways they can have a green wedding. NBC was excited about the concept and voila~ bustle had its first interview this morning.
We were down at NBC with coffee in hand for 5:30am (yes- AM!). Sara France of Sara France Photography came with us to take some photos of the adventure.
It was pretty exciting to get behind the scenes at the NBC studio with some local celebrities that we see every morning on the news. After freshening up in the green room, we were ready to go live!
Marianne Kushi interviewed us asking about ways to make your wedding green and about the March 8th bridal show. It may have been a mere 3 minutes, but it certainly felt longer.
A great day so far! To view the interview on NBC San Diego’s website click here.
