I met Susan last year and we instantly hit it off! When I found out she was a Villa bride, I got even MORE excited because of how much I love working with the staff there. I knew that this was an event built for smoothness and beauty.
Over the past several months, Susan passed several ideas through me, and in doing so, I felt like I really became a PART of her wedding! That being said, I wish I had more pictures to show for it!!! But, I don’t. Sad face! Not even a single ceremony shot!!!
But, I did get to see her “work it”:
And, she knew it…
Susan supplied her guest’s with my FAVORITE beverages, and enjoyed one herself between the ceremony and photos…
Some belated ceremony decor pictures. They tied the knot at the Pine Wind Garden in Torrance.
Love it! Their engagement session was compliments of their photographer, Youkeun, ofYo Photography. I cannot WAIT until their wedding teasers are up! I’m depending on you, Yo!!
Onto The Villa!
Susan had a labor of love in these unique place cards!!!
I LOVED this idea, with their hand-written, personalized vows:
Gorgeous, right??
Impeccable, as always…
As you can see, the sweetheart table was delicious!
Her bouquet from the Tea Ceremony, which was earlier in the morning, doubled as her Toss bouquet!
This. Cake.
LOVED the unique “stand” they used. So cute!!
The grand entrance!!!
Straight into an amazingly choreographed first dance!
Onto speeches!
The lovely Villa staff, presenting the food… [they used "Be Our Guest" from Beauty and The Beast]:
Another shot of the guest book:
And, lastly [sadly], one of Susan’s amazing all-orchid bouquet:
I know, I know. No ceremony pics, no cake cutting pics… what a slacker I am! BUT- that does mean that when we FINALLY get to see Yo’s pictures, it will be that much more exciting and amazing!
Susan and Eddie- you two are so fun, so full of life and joy! I’m glad that on your day, you were determined to enjoy it! It really made the difference! I loved every moment that I got to spend with you, and can’t wait to relive each of them through photos!!!
