The bad news is, I’m SO  behind on the blogging.   The good news is, I have a backlog of pictures to share with you all!! 

Eul was one of my out-of-town brides who was planning her wedding from New York at one of my favorite hotels in Santa Monica….Casa Del Mar.  Planning a wedding from another state is never an easy feat, but I knew that with her easy-going personality, I could be her eyes and ears here in California and get the job done!   She chose a vibrant raspberry and tangerine color palette, with accents of teal, to offset the rich brown of her bridesmaids’ dresses.  Below are a few of my favorite photos from the day, shot by their photographer, Sam Lim:

I adored the romantic lace dress that Eul chose for her big day…..so flowy and non-fussy and just perfect!!

Leave it to Kate Baker to deliver gorgeous florals once again!

And on the other side of the hotel, our groom Mendel got ready with his guys…..he was just as calm and zen as his happy bride!

Sam captured a sweet moment after their first look and then had some fun with the bridal party on the sand!

A beautiful escort card display greeted guests as they walked through the doors into the ceremony space.

And after the ceremony, the vendors hustled to turn the space over into a vibrant, fun reception space, while the guests enjoyed cocktail hour outside in the gorgeous sun!  Below are a few of the reception details:

And I’ll leave you with a moment from their first dance!

Eul and Mendel:  It was such a true pleasure taking part in your day…..your calm and kind energy really filled the day with joy!!  I wish you two the very best in NYC!!
