Elaine and Philip’s La Valencia Wedding

This gorgeous couple came all the way from China to get married here in California. They do have a connection to this beautiful place, the grooms family second home growing up was here in La Jolla and he wanted to get married in a place that was meaningful for them.

They had a smaller intimate ceremony at their home estate, followed by lunch for family and close friends, and then the cocktail hour and reception at the stunning La Valencia. They decided on a neutral color pallet for the US wedding as they are also having weddings in Bangkok and Shanghai and will get more colorful with those. They wanted their California wedding to be classic and stunning! We loved working with this gorgeous couple on their perfect day and it was such an honor to create the dream day for them.

Leigh & Daniel’s Parker Palm Springs Wedding

This destination wedding was absolutely dazzling and unique for this special couple. The Parker Palm Springs was the perfect setting for Leigh and Daniel to express their love for one another in front of their family and friends. The sister of the bride surprised her and had us bring in LIVE FLAMINGOS- pretty amazing!

The bride, Leigh Keith, is also the VP and COO of Perfect Bar (which she owns/ runs with her 13 siblings). It’s an incredible story (if you have a moment to watch their story, click here!)

The wedding was full of special details and they actually had a full weekend of activities. They started the weekend with a tennis tournament with their entire bridal party and any friends who wanted to join in. They did lots of pool lounging, a welcome party, and a rehearsal dinner.

Here are the details of the day:

They had a garden ceremony with branches covered in roses, they wanted to keep it simple, beautiful, and meaningful. The cocktail hour had lounge furniture, hammocks, and LIVE FLAMINGOS. They were brought in (by the sister of the bride/ MOH) as a surprise for the bride & groom just for their wedding so guests could enjoy them while they sipped on their drinks at cocktail hour.

The reception took place in a secret garden space, the entire dining area was flanked with hedges, and covered with market lights, under the stars. It was magical. Lots of candlelight and pink peonies. Each guest got a marble coaster with their name on it at their place setting which also doubled as their favor. A mixture of farm tables and linen rounds created the perfect environment for this intimate and lovely dinner.

Dancing took place inside (because of the noise ordinance) , where we transformed the space and brought some of the outside inside with live trees, ferns, furniture, and twinkle lights.

This couple was truly a vision of love and happiness, and it was magical watching them proclaim their affection for one another. The Parker Palm Springs, allowed Leigh and Daniel to customized their wedding and developed the perfect location for their enchanting day.
