vibrant and beautiful

From Nicole George Event Planning & Design: We adore brides who enjoy the lighter and brighter side of wedding planning, so what better way to inspire them by designing a colorful bridal shower editorial! Our idea was to create a boozy detail-filled bridal shower brunch! It was important for our design to be fresh, vibrant, and youthful and so we wanted our bride to pop and feel confident in something other than traditional white that meshed perfectly with our theme.

going coastal

Partnering up with the beautiful Huntington Bay Club provided us with the perfect coastal backdrop for our laid-back SoCal gal. It was amazing to just grab a specialty cocktail and take in the view of the beautiful yachts on the water. Our amazingly talented floral designer, Penelope Pots, visually created a lush and whimsical design that could work for either spring or summer vibes! Major shout out to our killer photographer, Matthew Nigel, for capturing this gorgeous gathering in a hybrid of film and digital photography. We hope this warm and lively gallery lifts your spirits, brings a smile to your face, and inspires SoCal brides!
