Blake & Lizzie's Wedding Pics

A beautiful couple, amazing vendors, a FABULOUS wedding is how I sum up Blake & Lizzie's big day.

Thanks to Brent Stanley Photography for sending over these lovely photos. He and his team were truly a God-send when our original photographer bailed on us...three days before the wedding! It was a blessing in disguise though because his eye and artistic style suited the couple and theme of the wedding perfectly.

  

 

 Hair by Tamari did an excellent job on Lizzie and the wedding party's hair and makeup

 The bridesmaids were so fierce in these dresses!

Angelus Temple in Echo Park was the perfect location for the ceremony. The same site where the couple first met in 2009.

Castaways Restaurant in Burbank provided a lovely backdrop for the reception, complete with a private balcony.

 

The Purple Velvet cupcakes from  Bake-a-Licious had us all licking our forks...or knife in the Groom's case. lol

 

Happy couple, happy planner!

Congrats Mr. & Mrs. Blake and Lizzie Young!

Wow! That's all I have to say about Friday's amazing wedding for my wedding giveaway contest winners Blake (aka Young Chozen) and Lizzie Young. The ceremony festivities, which took place at Angelus Temple, the site where the couple first met last year, was everything from a live concert to the most beautiful exchange of vows I've ever witnessed. Afterwards, we headed over to Castaways Restaurant for one of the most fun receptions...or should I say parties I've been to. This day and beautiful couple truly reminded me why I love doing this so much in the first place.

Thanks to the talentented Brent Stanley Photography for the above photo preview. Many more to come soon, but in the meantime, here are a couple video highlights from the big day.

 The ceremony opened with this video of Blake & Lizzie's love story...

...and ended with this live performance by Elijah Kelley from Hairspray

Gearing Up for Blake & Lizzie's Big Day

This week I'm gearing up for the glamorous wedding of my wedding giveaway contest winners, Blake and Lizzie! I'm so excited that the grand finale to all our hard work is only days away. This will be a wedding quite unlike any I've ever planned before. This artsy and creative couple has some great surprises planned for their guests...including the ceremony being UStreamed live to anyone who can't make it.  How cool is that?!?
