Glam Real Wedding in Southern California

Captured by Your Lovely Wedding, Lena and Harnell's wedding is one for the storybooks, glistening with crystals and pink accents.  From the showstopping wedding cake to the glamorous reception table centerpieces, the romance oozes from every single detail.  We are simply in awe over the fabulous crystal ceremony backdrop you will have to see to believe.

How fun are these bridesmaids gift baskets? Lena put in necklaces for each girl along with a small bottle of wine, bath loofahs, and for the finishing touches...the movie Bridesmaids of course.

Lena and Harnell's escort table consisted of antique keys tied with pink tassels and handwritten escort name cards. Vintage mirrored signs were placed around the table along with loosely tied organic florals and pearl wrapped votives.  We love the romantic touch this table brought to their reception.

Glam Pink, Black and White Styled Shoot

This glam styled shoot is oozing with lush florals and a unique patterned tablescape.  We are in love with the styling by Taryn Blake Events, and think the shoot is absolute perfection for a Spring wedding.  Soft matte pinks and dark blacks stand out among glittery gold and muted ivory tones.  Girly, flirty, a bit non-traditional, but completely full of elegance and personality that captivates the essence of the day. The models are actually newlyweds who wanted to help design a second event that really would stand out! The bold stripes, glittery gown, and industrialized party feel gave them the kicked up wedding experience that they were seeking.  A big thank you to Jennifer Rotz Photography who photographed all the gorgeous elements of the day and helped bring this shoot to life.  Don't forget to scroll to the bottom to see all the other wonderful vendors who helped plan this amazing shoot.

We are obsessing over this chic table setting from the glittering gold sequin table runner to the trailing florals with tulip accents and striped dinnerware.  Doesn't it just beg for a Spring wedding. Simply fantastic.

Setting atop the guest place settings were small clear favor boxes filled with pink cotton candy tied with glittery gold ribbon which echoed the styling of the wedding cake.  Sweet and adorable.
