A Pinch of Saint Patrick’s Day Green for Good Luck

By, March 15, 2013

This Sunday is a great day for the Irish! Though many Americans often use Saint Paddy’s Day as an excuse to drink green beer, look for rainbows, and dress like a leprechaun, the holiday actually has many special meanings and customs. For instance, in Ireland, St. Patrick’s Day is considered the luckiest day of the year to get married!

If you decide to tie the knot on (or around) March 17th, you may want to incorporate a few Irish good luck charms, and bring in the good fortune. You can set up horseshoes to play during the cocktail hour, incorporate Irish lace into your veil, dress the tables with accents of gold, or hire a bagpiper to play the processional music. We’ll call it “Shamrock Chic”.

In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, we’ve gathered photos from recent weddings that incorporate the color green in a major way! We hope you have a wonderful holiday, complete with good luck and a drop of green food coloring.

Featured Engagement Shoot: A Sunny San Diego Beach Shoot with Karyn and Frank

By, March 06, 2013

Karyn and Frank live six blocks from the ocean, so a beach engagement shoot was a perfect fit for this couple! Because their first date was a bike ride on the beach, it seemed like a nice idea to incorporate bikes into the shoot.

To start things off, we met at Law Street in Pacific Beach, which is a favorite beach spot for locals. Karyn and Frank brought a couple of fun props, including a fresh bouquet of garden roses to matched Karyn’s dress. They also brought an ampersand sign for their Save the Date announcement photo.

We can’t wait to see Karyn and Frank again on their big day at the Rancho Bernardo Inn. Congrats to this upcoming May wedding couple!

Outdoor Rancho Valencia Wedding with EverAfter Events | Brittany and Aaron

By, March 05, 2013

Brittany and Aaron are an adorable couple with a genuine joy and love. When planning their wedding at Rancho Valencia, the goal was to create an exquisite event, while allowing guests to feel comfortable and enjoy themselves.

To match the lush and luxurious atmosphere of Rancho Valencia, Blush Botanicals created a stunning bridal bouquet, which was wrapped in burlap, buttons and pearls.  A photo of Brittany’s father was also attached as a special way to honor him on her wedding day.

Birttany was escorted down the aisle by her brothers at The Village Presbyterian Church in Rancho Santa Fe. She looked stunning in her tapered lace gown from The White Dress.

After the ceremony, guests lined up on either side of the church’s entryway to celebrate the newlyweds!  In this adorable photo, you can see guests waving wands of burgundy and orange ribbon, and ushering the couple to their awaiting Rolls Royce.

The color palette for this gorgeous garden wedding included deep purple, burgundy, orange and touches of ivory.

The Croquet Lawn of the resort, with market lights draped overhead, made for a beautiful outdoor setting.  Guests were able to relax and enjoy live music provided by Wayne Foster Enterainment.

The focal point of this affair was the breathtaking head table, which had a floral runner made of fresh blooms and driftwood. The table was lined with tall-footed candle holders, wrapped with a burlap accent.

In the tree directly behind the head table, rustic lanterns were hung to create a romantic backdrop.

Lighting is always key. Tim Altbaum Productions created the perfect look by carefully stringing the lights above the guest tables. That way, guests could comfortably dine and dance outdoors in a well-lit environment.

The rain decided to grace our presence at 9:30pm, encouraging guests to move inside! Once in the ballroom, guests found that a DJ, Garrett’s popcorn and other snacks awaited them. It was a fabulous event with a warm and comfortable finale!
