SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY AT THE MONTAGE!

Bailey and Kevin traveled all the way from Oklahoma to get married at the beautiful Montage Resort and Spa in Laguna Beach, California. Ira Lippke took all of the amazing photos, Square Root did such a fabulous job of creating a "PINK" room with the floral, linens, chairs and lighting, Enchanted Evening provided the whimsical music for the ceremony and DJ Mike Carcano entertained the guests at the reception. Also, don't forget to visit Elysium Production's blog to view the same day edit! It was a wonderful day for such a wonderful couple! -Brooke

English Charm

I had beautiful English accent whispers in my ear all weekend long as the UK bride and groom had their destination wedding at Montage Laguna beach...the grooms family and friends enjoyed the warm CA sun....which was the main focal color for the wedding: golden yellow, black and white, and hints of kelly green. Jessica Claire couldn't have been happier as those are her favorite colors...thanks to RJACK Balthazarwho's creativity exceeds expectations everytime....the linens were fun and whimsical, loved loved the yellow tuplis, callas in black ceramic jars and black mossed silk boxes...the adorable bridesmaids wore flirty Jenny Yoo dresses and guys had matching ties. And rather than having a typical white wedding cake, we designed a waffle cone hot fudge sundae made by Sweet Gems to match the ice cream shop that RJACK built inside the ballroom. But to see more of this wedding, take a look at their same day edit video by Elysium Productions -Jeannie

Two Designers= 1 unique wedding

Creative Director of Paul Frank marries Shoe Designer Manufacturer for Besty Johnson on August 12 at the Hyatt Huntington Beach Resort....how creative can one couple be? Ben and Celine are not only the perfect match but truly madly deeply in love with each other...completely gracious, humble and hilarious. With other creative geniuses Rene and Niki of RJack Balthazar a collaborative effort was made in producing a one of a kind event. From custom made checkbook cover party favors, to love photos looped on plasma tvs behind the bars, to pink linens with a tailored table caps of navy taffeta to 2 distinct tablescapes trays planted with wheatgrass, glass lidded urns and bouquets of floral. The talented and dynamic team from Triplecord Photography took thousands of images alongside videographers from Elysium Productions. Lots of beautiful candle light and dimentional lighting from Lighten Up Inc. helped set the stage for some serious dancing that night. -Jeannie

Grimm to Merriman

When I buy carrots from the supermarket, I always think of Kellie Grimm, of Grimmway Carrots. They have the perfect snack pack for my daugther...she loves it. The adorable couple from Bakersfield had their friends and family join them in Laguna for a beautiful July wedding. Kellie had her four brothers do the honor of walking her down the aisle. Did you notice the amazing photos that Jon Barber took, especially that room shot. Doesn't their dinner reception look like it was held inside a tent? Nope, that is the Grand ballroom at Montage Resort....with white carpet, georgette fabric draping, LED lighting and custom chandeliers, produced by the talented, Sunny of White Lilac And can't miss that the tall famous rose bud cake made by Linda of The Cake Studio. -Jeannie
