AELO Alumni | Noel + Rob 9/14/14

PHOTOGRAPHER: KELLY TEACHER / WEDDING BUG | CATERING: GARDEN FRESH MARKET | DJ & LIGHTING: A POSH PRODUCTION | FLORIST: AVANT GARDENIA | CEREMONY MUSIC: NEIL DIXON SMITH | BAND: STITELY ORCHESTRA

Noel and Rob are both from L.A., but wanted to have a cozy, family-filled event at the home of Rob's parents, which just so happens to sit on the beautiful lake Michigan. Their Orthodox Jewish ceremony was held under a beautiful chuppah, decorated by Jenna at Avant Gardenia, overlooking a perfectly clear day on the lake, and cocktails were held on the large patio while the yard was reset for dinner. Strands of beautiful bistro lights, the Stitely Orchestra and some gorgeous evening weather kept everyone dancing all night long. Noel was an absolutely gorgeous bride, and the love for these two could be felt under the twinkling stars. It was an amazing wedding!

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!
