I absolutely LOVE Christmas, infact growing up my Mom would call me “Little Miss Christmas”. I love decorating the house, baking cookies, the glow of lights on houses and the smell of a fresh pine tree in the living room. So you can only imagine how excited I was when Cori (Events by Cori) and Bonnie (The Tangled Vine) asked me to be a part of this Christmas inspired Wedding at Bella Collina San Clemente.
Christmas in southern California is much different than a lot of other places. We wanted to feature a California Christmas as it truly is with sun shinning, sleeveless gowns and the playfulness of the Christmas spirit. The Tangled Vine’s incredible pops of crimson in the florals balanced perfectly with the unique furniture and table ware rentals from Sun Drop Vintage and the unique leaf pattern stitching on the Casa Blanca Flagship wedding gown all came together magically. See a list of the fantastic team that put this all together at the bottom of the blog post.
Enjoy!













How darling at Plumeria Cake Studio’s little chocolate covered apple wedding favors?! I just loved all the little desserts they came up with.







Boutonniere in a martini glass? Yes please!! Bella Collina’s featured appetizers aren’t just elegant and beautiful but they taste amazing too. I know from experience. 😉

I just love all the crimson red pops of color. The Tangled Vine’s florals pop so well with the unique furniture from Sundrop Vintage.

The First Look is so special. 💕 It’s a time set aside, before the ceremony, for just the bride and groom to see each other and have a moment before they go into the rest of their day together.
