AELO Alumni | Melanie + David 10/24/14

VENUE: HOTEL PALOMAR | FLORIST: PISTIL & VINE | PHOTOGRAPHER: DAWN E. ROSCOE | BAND: TRIBUTOSAURUS | CAKE: ALLIANCE BAKERY | WEDDING GOWN: AVAIL & COMPANY, CUSTOM | MAKEUP: DETAIL ORIENTED | HAIR: PENNY LANE STUDIOS

A gorgeous bride in a silky pink dress, Beatles songs for table numbers, beautiful handwritten vows, quotes about love all around...this simple wedding was full of lovely details. Melanie and David are an absolutely adorable couple, and we fell in love with their love for each other right from the start. Melanie designed all of the stationary herself, and David (the actor) wrote some of the most heartfelt and brilliant vows we've heard in years. We absolutely loved this wedding!

Flashback Friday | Greta + Tim 8/31/12

VENUE: SALVAGE ONE | PHOTOGRAPHY: S. PHOTOGRAPHY & STYLING | CATERING: J&L CATERING

We had a blast coordinating Greta and Tim’s day back in 2012! They are such a chill, organized, happy couple and their details were awesome. Plus, we love whenever there is a puppy involved! From the skee ball to the disco ball, this was definitely an event less ordinary. Shanna at S. Photography & Styling captured the day beautifully.

AELO Alumni | Emily + Ryan 10/5/13

VENUE: PRAIRIE PRODUCTION | CATERER: JEWELL EVENTS CATERING | CAKE: SWEDISH BAKERY | PHOTOGRAPHER: MICHELLE LYTLE | FLOWERS: ASRAI GARDEN | DJ: FIG MEDIA | HAIR: DEVIN SMITH | MAKEUP: ELISE BRILL

Every wedding is filled with loving friends and family who are excited to celebrate with the couple of the evening, that is true. But some weddings, somehow, are filled with extra love, even more excitement than usual, and it's so intense that you can feel it in the room. That was Emily and Ryan's wedding. They are a great couple, have been together a long time, and their people just could not have been happier to celebrate their union. The couple was all smiles throughout the day, even when the bridal party forgot their flowers in the fuss of getting from the cab to the venue untouched by the heavy rain. The AELO team threw some new bouquets together in time for the ceremony, and the rest of the day went off without a hitch!

Flashback to our first fully planned wedding! We loved working with Sharon and Ted while they lived in Seoul and New York respectively. The event was decorated beautifully by one of our favorite florists, Sinisa at the James was incredible, and working with Chad is always a blast!
