busy, busy!

The past month, H&B has had events on board the Queen Mary, at the W Hollywood, Bel-Air Bay Club, Carondolet House, & the Westlake Village Inn! There is something special about the option of venues we have in southern California. We cannot wait to share all of the glorious photos with you!

In the meantime, here are some beautiful images from our last wedding at Annenberg Community Beach House. What a combination of old Hollywood history & modern luxury. I encourage you to learn more about the beach house. It really is fascinating. The view & proximity to the beach is a wow factor for guests in itself. These wonderful shots were captured by Snider Photo & Design. This husband/wife photojournalism team could possibly be the best kept secret/bargain in town.

Now, back to the couple of the hour, Eileen & Patrick.

These two were married at St. Martin of Tours in Brentwood. The celebration continued to the annex at the beach house in Santa Monica. We had the privilege to work with some of our favorite wedding pros! This wedding was planned in eight fun months. We adore Eileen & since she booked our full wedding package, we got to know each other really well. After the reception was said & done, there was some feeling of devastation because she no longer needed our services. Congratulations, you two!!

It looks as if they are deep in a magical garden yet they are merely steps from the ocean.

Daddy's first look!

We incorporated simple arrangements of white tulips, roses, lilies (separately) fpr an easy, elegant feel. Thank you, Commerce Flowers!

The bridesmaids sneaking a peak of the first look.

The first look was taken at the Huntley, where they got ready.

There it is.

Eileen had her bouquet wrapped with a vintage hanky that belonged to her grandmother.

Eileen has serious style. The cocktail hour was chartreuse, black, & gold while the reception was almost all white w/ hints of those colors. For the lounge area, we added colorful pillows to the furniture provided by the venue. The ceremony was all white.

These arrangements engulfed the sweetheart table & were also used at the ceremony at the top of the aisle. The mirrors are from Dress My Party.

Their rehearsal dinner was on the top floor of Hotel Angeleno, another terrific location for parties! Many guests stayed there, as well. The staff is superb & were a huge help with the delivery of OOT gift bags.

Thank you to all of our terrific vendor friends!
