We were delighted when Paige + Blake Green Photography asked us to contribute to their {Green Weddings} online magazine (click the link for the entire magazine!) this quarter.  We passed along some excellent Wedding Planning Pointers on page 16-17. For those of you who are knee-deep in planning your wedding this year or next, we definitely  recommend you take  a look at some of our suggestions and tips! This awesome publication provides some handy-dandy  information on everything from styling and coordinating wardrobe choices for your engagement session to whether a First Look is right for you! Thank you Paige + Blake Green Photography!

We recently worked with Paige + Blake Green Photography on Amanda & James’ San Clemente Wedding that was featured on Every Last Detail !

We have had the pleasure over the past few years of getting to know and work with one of our lovely vendor friends Lindsey from Brooke Photography & Design. So naturally, when the time came for her to tie the knot, we were so hoping she would choose us to contribute to her vision. And Viola! To our utter excitement, she did! Lindsey asked us to provide all the florals for her vintage wedding!
Lindsey is a quintessential beauty! She reminds us of a real life Disney’s Snow White! Absolutely beautiful. She and Sean share a love of vintage decor and a throw back to old world regality and decorum. Their wedding was so charming and FULL of so many personal and handmade details. We were honored to be a part! Thanks to DNA Wylie Photography for capturing all their stunning moments!

Well we had an extremely successful start to this year’s wedding season with Kristin & Chad’s beautiful wedding at Dove Canyon Country Club two weeks ago. Kristin & Chad were a gorgeous couple! AND SO CUTE!!! It was a privilege to be a part of their wedding. We just received a little taste of their day from Brightwood Photography! Thank you to our great vendors! And especially Becky and her staff at Dove, who were a dream team!

Every year, us girls over here at Sugar Branch Events get extremely giddy about the release of the Pantone color of the year! We anxiously await to see what chosen color is going to dictate the wedding and fashion industry trends for the year ahead AND because it means we get to create a styled shoot based on the inspiration of that color! (It’s our little tradition) 2013′s Pantone color of the year did not disappoint. Emerald was such a fun and different color to incorporate into a wedding color palette. We kept it mild, adding pops of emerald here and there, while blending it with lush golds, blushes, ivory’s and a hint of tangerine to keep it on the classy and sophisticated side. And glitter. We love glitter! We don’t know about you, but we are ready for wedding inspiration that’s lush, classic, clean and modern that has a few fun twists on current trends.

While we started with an over-all vision and built lots of inspiration boards, we let each vendor ultimately dream-up something that inspires them, that is completely unique to their creative genius. Check out our Pinterest Board for the shoot! We had an absolutely fabulous team of vendors, who we cannot thank enough for being so involved and giving of their time and talents! We LOVED working with all of you! (Vendor info at the bottom of the post)

We created a “Champagne & Macarons” setup for cocktail hour. Our sign read, “Bubbly & Sweet, how about a treat?” What a great but effective way to spice up cocktail hour and give your guests an unexpected delight! (And get them hooked on French Macarons!)

We wanted our shoot to showcase the special moments between a bride and her maid of honor. We wanted our maid of honor to present our bride with a sentimental gift to show honor her on her wedding day.

And instead of doing a dessert bar, we thought a fun change would be a latte station where guests could enjoy a cup of coffee their way as well as some yummy coffee desserts. The smell of the coffee beans infused the room with warmth and comfort and smelled amazing!

Our very own Lindsay got married this past September at Pelican Hill Resort in Newport Coast. She had a spectacular wedding with absolutely glorious weather and just an all-round perfect day. Lindsay, being a coordinator and event designer for Sugar Branch Events, planned and designed every last detail of their wedding, and to no surprise, it has just been featured in Orange County Edition of Ceremony Magazine for 2013! She worked with some amazing vendors who helped bring her vision to life. Brittany was of course, in the wedding, so she could not coordinate! But Lindsay did select  fellow wedding consultant extraordinaire Kerrie Underhill from Platinum Weddings by Kerrie, who ensured the entire day flowed perfectly. Thank you to ALL the vendors who helped make this wedding so amazing for Lindsay & Anthony! We are so excited to have it featured!

Meet Jaclyn & Chris. They have such a great love story, we are ecstatic to share! Jaclyn & Chris met when they were students at the University of Southern California during a bible study group at the Catholic Center. Fast forward, they are now such an adorable and sweet {and engaged!!} couple, and we are very excited to be working with them. To honor where that special first spark ignited, they are getting married at the newly restored Our Savior Parish Catholic church on USC’s campus and then just a short drive over to the Annandale Golf Club in Pasadena, where they will have a gorgeous outdoor Summer reception.  So naturally, when the time came for them to take their engagement photos, it seemed only fitting to go back to the USC campus where they first met. Here are a few of their favorites from Sargeant Photography!

During the holidays we eagerly anticipate our next Summer’s weddings, and we get so giddy when our couples share their beautiful engagement photos with us! Elyse & Zach are getting married at the Bacara Resort & Spa in Santa Barbara next May and if these photos are any indication, their wedding is going to be breathtaking! We are currently picking our jaws up off the floor after seeing these amazing images by Braedon Flynn Photography…. They are absolutely stunning!  Thank you Elyse & Zach for sharing your beautiful photos with us! Elyse — we LOVE your red dress!!

We absolutely adore when our couples share their engagement photos with us (or send us one of their wedding invitations! We love mail <3 )! We feel honored to be included in their special moments AND even more thrilled to help them bring their wedding together! This beautiful couple is certainly no exception — Christine & Matthew are gorgeous (inside and out!) and we are so excited for their Big Canyon Country Club wedding in Newport Beach next August. Their to-die-for Corona Del Mar engagement session was shot by the always wonderful and extremely talented Josh Elliott Photography. We are so happy to be doing 2 out of our 13 weddings so far next year with Josh!
