{ Mary + JR :: Malibu Wedding }

It was a warm summer day with cool light breezes in the hills of Malibu, perfect for a summer wedding. The ceremony and reception took place at a private estate. Most of the guests traveled from far away to come to sunny California to witness the matrimony of Mary and JR. It was a small intimate wedding filled with so much love and joy. The color palette was fresh green and plum, which blend perfectly with the beautiful scenery that the Malibu hills had to offer.

Mary walked down the grassy aisle wearing a stunning vintage wedding dress looking simply gorgeous! JR watched his beautiful bride to be with a big smile on his face as she approached him. He also looked handsome with his khaki suit and purple tie. During the ceremony, JR’s daughter performed on her cello for the bride, groom, and guests. I do’s were exchanged and the couple walked away hand in hand.

After the ceremony guest were escorted to the pool and lounge area where tasty hors d’oeuvre were passed around and the bar was open and ready to start mixing, shaking, and stirring. Keeping true with the color scheme guests were pleasantly surprised to find their escort cards pinned on plump smooth green limes. Mary and JR made their grand entrance with their loyal dog behind them; we didn’t even have to cue the dog, he knew exactly where to go and when, amazing right?

The Bride and Groom did not go with the traditional tiered towering cake; instead they had three separate cakes- Lemon, Red Velvet, and Dolce.

The night sky was adorned with bistro lighting we set up over the reception and dance area. Guests danced the night away. Thank goodness for baby Jack who kicked off the dance with his all time favorite Usher song- “ OMG“. The candy station was a bit hit with the kids and even adults. Classics candy from Sour Gummy Worms, Rock Lollipops, to Peanut M&M’s were all present.

The bride and groom were sent off by their beloved friends waving shinning sparklers, it was a magical sight to see and a perfect way to end a perfect day!
