Real Wedding: Kelly and Curtis

Posted in Press,Real Weddings

It is always fun when we get to do a wedding in a unique venue like this. The Camarillo Airport CAF Museum was a spectacular setting for Kelly & Curtis’s wedding day. Every inch of this wedding reflects the love, creativity, and fun things that Kelly and Curtis share. These two have been friends since elementary school. They share a love for deep sea fishing, good espresso, vintage scooters and having fun with friends and family. This uber cute wedding was hand crafted by the talented bride Kelly. Make sure to check out her website : CRAFTE as well as their double feature on one of our favorite wedding blogs, Green Wedding Shoes : Part 1 and Part 2!

Kelly was inspired by her tattoo which led to the color palette of the wedding. She hand made the stationery, her own wedding dress, the flower girl dresses, escort cards and much more. Enjoy all the fun details captured perfectly by Ashley Rose Photography.

Congratulations Kelly & Curtis!

Shakespeare In Love Rehearsal Dinner Inspiration

Posted in Decor and Style,Press,Rehearsal Dinner

You may recognize this shoot from Style Me Pretty: Shakespeare in Love Rehearsal Dinner – we are thrilled SMP shared this with their readers. We were honored to be a part of the team of vendors to bring you this whimsical, romantic, and book-themed inspiration for the all too overlooked rehearsal dinner. Traditionally a rehearsal dinner follows the ceremony rehearsal the day or two before the wedding, with guests including the bridal party and close family. The rehearsal dinner is often the first time that loved ones surround the bride-and-groom-to-be, so why not set the tone for the wedding with the ultimate intimate dinner party? The options are limitless and we hope this helps you fantasize beyond your local restaurant to create that special once-in-a-lifetime dinner you will always remember!

Brought to you by the creative minds of Inviting Occasion, Found Vintage Rentals, Collette’s Catering Extraordinaire, and Sayah Studios at the beautiful Muckenthaler Mansion. Produced by Hitching Post PR, and perfectly captured by Studio EMP & Cresent Bay Films. Entertainment by Denny White.

Meet Kimberly Roberts of Team LVL

Posted in Northern California Weddings

Photography by Lauren Hillary

 

By: Lindsay Longacre, Owner, Lead Principal Planner

The one thing I am most grateful for in 2011 is my hard working, dedicated and amazing team so I wanted to start the year out right by acknowleding the awesome professionals I have by my side.

Meet Kimberly!! With a keen sense of humor and love for life, Kimberly is one of LVL’s most lively personalities.   Light hearted, yet grounded and very focused on goals, she finds satisfaction in knowing that she has helped couples create a stress-free first day of the rest of their lives.

With a BA in Communications, Entertainment Studies from Cal State Fullerton, she has a background in hospitality with a special passion for weddings. She’s a force to be reckoned with and somehow we know she won’t settle for anything less than being the best! Kimberly recently opened LVL’s office in Northern California and heads up operations for the Region.

Outside of work, she loves adventure and discovering new places, tacos and hopes to own her own sailboat and spend a year traveling the world.   If she could have a super power, she’d love to be able to talk to animals, especially sea turtles, with which she will quietly tell you that she has a mild obsession.

Surf and Sand Photo Shoot

Posted in Decor and Style,Press
This gorgeous, beachy shoot will make you fantasize of summer and sunshine! Inspired by Indonesian ikat prints, hints of India, Morocco, the Mediterranean, and a little bit of Hawaii. This photo shoot was featured on Wedding Chicks – Multi Cultural Beachy Wedding.
We were so excited to be a part of this colorful inspiration shoot with the uber-creative stylings by Larissa of Inviting Occasion and Jeni of Found Vintage Rentals. We also simply adore the Surf and Sand Resort, an ocean front luxury hotel in Laguna Beach. Perfectly complimenting the theme, stationary creations were provided by Paper & Thread and the striking cake by Sweet & Saucy Shop. Hair was styled by Couture Beauty, make up done by OC Make Up Artist, and the gorgeous Maggie Sottero wedding dress you see here came from The Dresser Bridal, accessories by Erin Cole and groom’s attire by Tommy Bahama. We were further delighted to see cinematography by Mission Visual, and of course, Studio EMP Inc, who beautifully captured the essence of every detail.

Real Wedding: Alyssa and Dan

Posted in Real Weddings

We had the pleasure of coordinating Alyssa and Dan’s Newport Beach wedding.  The happy couple was looking for simple and elegant with a hint of the beach so they incorporated touches of sea shells on their invitations and cake.  They said their I DO’s at the Community Church Corona Del Mar and then shuttled over in beach themed OC Cruisers to the historic Harborside Pavilion Grand Ballroom to join the reception.

The whole day was beautifully captured by Studio 28 Photo. Thank you to the wonderful team of vendors who assisted in ensuring their special day was smooth sailing!

Real Wedding: Lauren and Blair

Posted in Destination Weddings,Northern California Weddings,Real Weddings

Lauren and Blair live in Southern California but wanted to say their I Do’s in Lauren’s hometown of San Jose.  The Hotel Valencia on Santana Row provided the perfect elegance and intimacy for Lauren and Blair to share their day with friends and family. Surrounded by all the people they love, this match made in heaven danced the night away in their cocktail style reception.

With LVL’s recent expansion into Northern California, it was easy for Lauren and Blair to plan their destination wedding from Southern California knowing they also had a planner in Northern California to take good care of them.  Bling Focus Photography was there to capture all the moments.

Real Wedding: Molly and Gustavo

Posted in Real Weddings

Molly and Gustavo had a festive affair at the beautiful and quaint Franciscan Gardens.  When I first met Molly she described her wedding as vibrant, fun and meaningful. It was important for her and Gustavo to celebrate their heritage. So they hired a bag piper to lead her and her father down the aisle. As soon as the happy couple was pronounced husband and wife around the corner marched a mariachi band that joined them for their processional and cocktail hour.

The Mexican inspired style was brought to life by the natural surroundings of the venue and  floral design created by French Buckets. I think one of my favorite parts of the decor was the amazing cake and dessert display by Molly’s friend Monica. Everyone danced the night away thanks to Brian Lee with Elevated Pulse Production.

Enjoy all the beautiful photos compliments of Kurt Boomer.
