Real Wedding: Gaby Ruiz & Jorge Marquez

I was hired by Gaby & Jorge to coordinate their wedding and make sure that all the details that this DIY bride and groom wanted were carried out seamlessly on their wedding day! I would definitely say that this was the most challenging wedding that I have coordinated simply because when they hired me, less than 2 months from their wedding date, they only had the venue secured. I assisted this couple in locating and securing their vendors, provided timelines and checklists to stay on schedule, listened to their vision of the wedding and provided additional inspiration, expertise, and ideas on how to best bring their wishes to reality on their wedding day within the short time frame and tight budget we had to work with. In order to make this the dream wedding that my clients wanted,  a lot of time and effort went into planning and coordinating this wedding prior to the day of, and I am happy to share that on September 2, 2012, this lovely couple shared wedding vows and expressed their love for each other in front of 170 of their family and friends at the Red Horse Barn!

This outdoor wedding turned out beautifully and I received many amazing compliments from the venue, vendors, guests, and the bride and groom regarding how lovely it turned out and how perfectly the day went! (Actually the venue and one of the resident vendors said that out of all the hundreds of weddings they had witnessed at the venue, this one was the best coordinated and planned, and that I was a pleasure to work with.Yay!) I can easily smile along with these two love birds because I was able to plan and coordinate a beautiful wedding for 170 people in less than 6 weeks!  Please take a look at this shabby-chic vintage-styled outdoor wedding held in Huntington Beach, CA.

I am happy to report that on July 24, 2012 at the Long Beach Museum of Art, these two love birds shared their written wedding vows and said “I DO” in front of all of their family and friends!  It was a wonderful wedding and these two couldn’t stop smiling.

Beautiful short-style wedding dresses!

Love these short style dresses! Sexy! :)

lacedinweddings:

Reception Dresses: So this is my take on them.  Are they beautiful? Absolutely, but if I’m going to spend all that money on that one dress that you dream about, why change?

An alternative may be to have a rehearsal party and wear a cocktail reception type dress then.  If you like the look of a shorter dress, maybe you should wear a recption dress as your actual wedding dress.  There’s nothing wrong with being different.
