With Valentine’s day just about a week away, we’re indulging in the pink hues and romantic styling of Jenna and Jeff’s wedding at The Los Angeles Country Club.  The day was feminine, lovely, a snapshot of classic elegance. Hustle & Bustle Events coordinated everything to perfection; Michael Segal documented all of the special moments and exquisite little details.

Jenna looked positively gorgeous in a fit and flare Alencon lace and silk gown, while the bridesmaids were fresh and pretty in pink chiffon frocks. The ceremony took place just outside of the clubhouse, with sweeping views of Bel Aire and downtown Los Angeles.  Chairs were embellished with fabric streamers, which blew gently in the breeze.  Jenna and Jeff took their vows encircled by rose petals, which were well-suited for tossing and celebrating after they said ‘I do.’Back in the clubhouse, lace tablecoths, pink hues, and garden flowers adorned the reception.  Guests were served signature drinks and enjoyed a dreamy summer Los Angeles evening…

This wedding is, bar none, one of the most sophisticated modern weddings we’ve seen in a long while.   Sky Events stayed true to Denise and Joseph’s style when planning the day; the décor was absolutely exquisite!  A special thanks to Skye Blu Photography for sharing Denise and Joseph’s wedding… what a visually sumptuous treat for a Tuesday morning….
Every detail of the ceremony was carefully designed, from the abundant floral archway to the hard cover wedding programs.  Floating glass ornaments, each holding a single orchid, provided a very fairytale-like backdrop for the vows.  The reception was completely breathtaking… from the dramatic lighting to the décor by Sky Flowers . We’re especially loving the submerged florals.  Enjoy all this lilac, lavender and fuchsia gorgeous-ness… 

So, so beautiful.

Congratulations Denise & Joseph!

The Engagement & Wedding Story, told by the bride, Denise:

‘It was our first Christmas together in our apartment in Valencia. We both love Christmas so our house was fully decorated – stockings filled with goodies, holiday candies and cookies all over the place, and a beautiful Christmas tree! I am a notorious early riser so when I woke up at 6:30 a.m. on Christmas morning, I didn’t think much of it. Then Joe woke up a little after 7 a.m., which is highly unlike him but I thought maybe he was just excited for the gifts I got him. Lucky for me, that meant we got to open our gifts early! YAY! We made breakfast and sat next to our tree and gave each other our gifts. It then came time for us to open our “big” gifts. He wanted me to go first. I unwrapped a sweater sized box and in it was a note that contained a riddle sending me into the master bedroom. I went into the master bedroom and found another note that lead me to the kitchen. From the kitchen, I got a note telling me to go into our office. When I got to the office, I couldn’t find another note. I looked and looked and finally I said I didn’t know where it was. He blamed the dogs for playing with it, knelt down under his desk and turned around. When I looked over at him, he was on his knee with the most beautiful diamond ring I have ever seen and he asked me to marry him! I immediately burst into tears and hugged him. I was so overwhelmed, I didn’t know if I was supposed to put the ring on or say yes or keep crying and then he asked me if that meant yes and I said “of course… yes, yes, yes.”

On the day of the wedding, when we saw the  ceremony site and reception ballroom, it felt just like ‘us,’ our style… it exuded everything I hoped for and more.  Everything was transformed and there were personal, romantic touches everywhere… monogrammed cloth napkins, lavender throughout and a dance floor with custom appliques identical to the invitations.’

I’m sooo excited to share this!  The founders of Project Wedding, Margaret and Joe, have started a new travel website, called Enrout.  Margaret has the inside scoop on fabulous honeymoon locales and places to stay off the beaten path… and she has hand-picked some of her favorites to share with us!  Enrout is so great for savvy travelers who are looking for an experience outside of the norm…who want to live more like a local and less like a tourist (or maybe a little bit of both)! So romantic sounding, right?  Check out the new site to find everything from charming Parisian apartments with huge windows overlooking the Eiffel Tower, to San Francisco Victorian homes complete with hardwood floors, flat-screen televisions, and a cozy armchair for reading Hemingway at night.

Our first stop is Santorini… where Margaret and Joe traveled for their honeymoon (and also where Margaret obsessively checked the PW forums every day)!  Take a peek into a spectacular Santorini Honeymoon in the {full feature}.

This week we’ve featured Christie and David’s love story as our real wedding of the week!  The couple met on eHarmony.com.  After their first meal together at a Burbank café, the two knew there was something special.  Two and a half years later, David proposed to Christie during a hot air balloon ride overlooking California wine country.  They planned their vineyard wedding in five months, and the result was an utterly romantic and intimate day.

I thought Kristie and Matt’s wedding was such perfect inspiration for the bride who wants an ultra-feminine color palette with understated, elegant style. The gorgeous couple met at a coffeehouse six years prior to marrying in a romantic wedding at a California vineyard.  See the full photo spread and story in our Real Wedding gallery this week!
