Chelsy and Greg: A Cheery Summer Wedding
I cannot believe I have not posted this wedding yet! I have had the photos for a while and just remembered and I am so excited to share this wedding with you today. Even though it is February, it feels like summer here in San Diego (80 degrees!) so this wedding just feels right today!
Chelsy and Greg, along with Chelsy’s adorable mom, contacted me to help them plan their wedding in Orange County from out of state. The wedding was definitely one of the cutest we have designed- infused with Chelsy and Greg’s vibrant personalities and splashes of cheery hot pink and orange.

I loved the bridesmaid’s J Crew dresses and adorable bouquets, designed by JL Designs:

Chelsy and Greg were married at the Newport Beach LDS Temple and their reception was held in the garden area of Mile Square Golf Course in Fountain Valley.


Chelsy’s mom had the ruffled edge runners hand made and they looked darling against the white tablecloths, with Carissa’s fresh and cheery arrangements on top.


We hung paper lanterns from trees, picture frames from bushes and flower pomanders from hooks leading up the walkway into the reception.
I love it when a client tells me that they want no detail overlooked. That is right up our ally! Blonde Designs, who also designed their invitations, made custom water bottle labels, drink and food labels and also cute labels for the favor boxes.

The candy bar we designed and set up was a hit! I do not think that there was ever a time that it was not swarming with guests.

I loved the floral accents- especially the wheat grass flats that we had lollipops “growing” out of.

To create a unique display for the favor boxes, we covered a cork board in fabric (that matched the table runners of course!) and pinned the boxes on with rhinestone-adorned pushpins.

The highlight of the wedding, though, was the dessert table that we designed with Melody of Sweet & Saucy shop. I could not have been happier with how it turned out.

I crafted the fun backdrop and banner (both of which I can custom make for any event. Please contact me if you are interested). Melody’s desserts are cute as can be on their own, but add in the wheatgrass cake stand that Carissa of JL Designs made, fun paper details and an adorable cake and you’ve got a masterpiece.

For the sweetheart table, we cut out Mr & Mrs letters (soon to be added to our etsy shop), adorned their chairs with ribbons and JL Designs gave the table some pop with mini pomanders.

If you meet Chelsy & Greg for even a few minutes, you would fall in love with them. I was so happy to be a part of their celebration and looking at these pictures just makes me happy.
A huge thank you to Melissa Kelsey for the beautiful photos. Melissa flew out from Utah to shoot their wedding- so if you are getting married in Utah, definitely check out her website!
