LOVE STORY

Never underestimate a casual introduction; it may end up being the most pivotal moment of your life! It happened that way for Elga and Daniel when Elga was introduced to Daniel at a local club. As it turns out, once they got the conversation started, it hasn’t stopped. A small, romantic park on the top of Signal Hill in Long Beach was the spot for their first date and for a perfect proposal. After Elga declared a resounding “Yes!”  to the ultimate question, she delightfully found out that Daniel had already secured a date, a church and a venue. A wedding dream come true!

LOVE NOTE

A roaring fire and twinkling candlelight are beautifully complemented by crisp white flowers, a chic cake and simply elegant décor.

LOVE STORY

Pegah & Amir met at a mutual friend’s going away barbeque. They had actually shared these friends for years but somehow never crossed paths until this one fortuitous afternoon. In fact, Pegah contemplated even attending this party in the park, as she was exhausted from work but decided that it was best to go. And it’s a good thing she did. The handsome Amir couldn’t locate his cell phone and asked Pegah if he could borrow hers to call his. Funny how her number was now saved in his cell, so Amir called later that night to ask this pretty girl out on a date. Eight years later, he would take Pegah back to that same park where they first met and ask her to marry him.

LOVE NOTE

Fervent colors intensified with dramatic lighting and chandeliers set a passionate backdrop for an elaborate event.

LOVE STORY

Sports fans Elizabeth and Benjamin foster a lively rivalry over football. For the wedding day though, Elizabeth, a self-professed “hater of the Pittsburgh Steelers,” was able to set her wrath aside and let Ben incorporate the Terrible Towel into their wedding day details. This loving gesture made Ben forgive Elizabeth and her lack of love for the Steelers – at least for that day.

LOVE NOTE

Hot pops of color and lighthearted centerpieces made out of grass and flowers coordinated with vibrant bows tied around each chair.
