jenna & jeff

My assistants & I were the ones throwing the petals - it was so fun!
Alright, so this is looooong over due. Jenna & Jeff were an absolute dream couple to work with.
I loved every single meeting & phone conversation with Jenna. I appreciated her distinct vision & her trust in me with my opinions & vendor recommendations.Their wedding contained so much personality that the aesthetic details were not necessary - just added bonuses.
Jenna & Jeff's favorite ice cream is Thrifty's Ice Cream so naturally they provided a Thrifty's ice cream bar at their reception. What fun it was for the guests to partake in the makings of their ice cream sundaes after their dinner. Our local Thrifty's shop even supplied us w/ their official scoopers, cups, & cones! Jenna & Jeff provided an entertaining video to provide some visual noise as a backdrop in their lounge area, adjacent to their Polaroid photo booth. This was Hustle & Bustle's first wedding at Los Angeles Country Club (recently discovered they are ranked one of the top 100 golf courses in the country - extra tidbit of info). The venue is amazing to work with. Imidiately following the wedding, their staff lined up long the pathway to the cocktail hour w/ trays of wine & signature cocktails for  guests to enjoy while strolling to the cocktail hour area. This is always smart to do to prevent long lines at the bar. After dinner, guests had the option to practice their putting skills on the putting green which was right next to the dance floor! It's so fun to reflect on their special day. The more I think about it, the more fun details start to flood my mind. The best part, for me, was just being able to witness this cute couple evolve from "recently engaged" to "happily married". What a memorable day to be a part of!!! Thanks, you two!

I got to work with some of my FAVE vendors!

Tweeny at Tiny Wren Press is always amazing.

Jenna is stunning even before  hair & MUA. Don't hate her for being so gorgeous...& smart...& incredibly sweet.








 Made with love by Jenna's mother!

Gold rimmed hammered glass chargers are always a fave of mine.





The last rows of the ceremony were decorated w/ strips of fabric. Looked so lovely.


Happiness.
