Meet Ashley

bio

Hi, my name is Ashley and I was born and raised in lovely southern California. I am going into my senior year at Point Loma Nazarene University studying Managerial Organizational Communications. I love being able to help others and have a passion for making people smile! I am the oldest of three girls, so growing up we did a lot of pretend wedding play!

I am so so excited to be apart of the Couture family! I have always loved wedding and especially  love all the flowers. I’m interested in learning what really goes into planning a wedding behind all the glitz and glam. I am so grateful for this opportunity and can’t wait to see what this semester holds!

Favorite Starbucks Drink: Zebra Mocha
Favorite Designer: Michael Kors & Tory Burch
Place I Want to Travel: Bali

Meet Kayla

intern

“Oh man! This is real! I Kayla Harrington am one of your Summer 2015 Interns with Couture Events. I am beyond excited and grateful for this opportunity to learn from the best. After watching Cinderella like, who knows, 50 times? I knew that I wanted to be a Fairy God Mother. People, she is the real deal. About 16 years later I am finally getting a shot at making peoples dreams come true.  My dream has never been geared towards being a wedding planner, but to work with individuals making their dreams come true and I have found that Krystel and the Couture Team do just that!

If you’re curious about some fun facts here are some of my favorites!

Designer: Okay, summer is here and I am currently in LOVE with Tommy Bahama. Have you seen there home décor show rooms? So cute, so soft, and you feel like your on a vacation. No harm in loving that.

Starbucks: Haha so you’re going to laugh. My favorite drink at Starbucks is a Trenta iced water. Come on, they use a triple filtration system and their ice makes me happy. You asked. Now go try it!

Where would I Travel?

America! I love bears and backpacks. There are some hidden gems here in California and I intend to see them all.

Lovely meeting you all!

MEET MORGAN

Hello! My name is Morgan Offenheiser. I grew up in the Bay Area, and decided that I needed to experience all that California has to offer, so I moved to San Diego! I am going to be a Senior at University of San Diego where I am studying Marketing. My hobbies are napping on the beach, shopping, reading a juicy book or magazine, and watching movies. I also LOVE to eat. J I am not picky when it comes to food, I’ll literally eat anything. I am so excited to be an intern at Couture Events. I love event planning, working with people, and seeing visions come to life.  I’ve had a soft spot for weddings ever since I was a little girl. I was a flower girl so many times my mom used to joke about renting me out as a professional flower girl! I loved looking at all of the decorations, being up close for the “I Do’s”, and being a dancing queen on the dance floor! I look forward to working with you on your special day!

Favorite Starbucks Drink: Iced Chai Tea Latte

Favorite Designer: Vera Wang

I want to go to: London!!

 Meet Dani

Henricksen_0149

Too start off I am so excited to be working with Couture Events this summer. I searched long and hard and truthfully felt at home the instant I discovered the company. I applied to be an intern hopeful Couture would feel such a connection with me as I did with them, luckily for me they did! I was a four-year student at Azusa Pacific University, and proudly graduated this May just a few weeks ago. I was lucky enough to have an experience of a lifetime not only from my time at my college, but also as I packed my bags and left the Country for four months my junior fall semester. I took part in an abroad program called Semester at Sea where I voyaged thousands of miles to engulf myself with a multitude of countries and cultures. The trip not only created amazing experiences, but also shaped me into the woman I am today. The lessons I learned, people I met, and places I saw will forever be a part of me.

I always knew I had a passion for people and creativity. They both bring me so much joy and love. As my college career started to come closer to a close I knew I wanted to find a career in something that brought those two desires together. My older sister got married in July of 2015 and I was lucky enough to call myself her maid of honor. She had an events coordinator helping her in the process of preparing for her magical day. Throughout the process of planning something just clicked and I felt like I knew exactly what I was called to do. I mean what girl doesn’t dream of the time where she gets to plan her big day?! A passion grew in me thinking about getting to continuously help brides and grooms take the dreams they had for their wedding and create it into a reality. Everything from my style, faith, and ambition directed me to be beyond excited to intern for a company that matched so well with what makes me me. I am truthfully grateful for this opportunity, and ready to work hard to create beauty and be a witness of love.
