Mollie & Jim ~ Bel Air Bay Club, Pacific Palisades

Susan and I have been waiting for what seems like an eternity to blog shots from Mollie & Jim's wedding! We have kept it under wraps waiting for The Knot magazine feature to be published. Big thanks to The Wedding Chicks for also featuring this gorgeous wedding.

When we first met with Mollie and Jim, it was very clear that this was going to be an amazing wedding, and we were dying to be part of it! Mollie & Jim stressed throughout the planning process that they wanted everyone of their guests to feel the love they shared, and I think we all accomplished that. Let's get on to the eye candy!

This could be one of my all time favorite bridal pics....

Jim's brother was the officiant and MC for the wedding & reception, and he did such an amazing job...we would hire him in the future!

A quiet moment to practice their first dance moves before the reception festivities began.

Carissa, of JL Designs created multiple centerpiece options to create the glamorous, classical with a modern twist that Mollie was looking for.

The reception room at the Bel-Air Bay Club looked amazing with the romantic lighting provided by Nate and the team at LightenUp Inc. The Chameleon Chairs that Mollie fought to include in the budget were the icing on an already amazing cake!

Ummm, how did we get all this cake cleaned up?!

The little drizzle of rain earlier in the day provided the most amazing skies at sunset!

And the night ended with some delicious hot dogs from a Let's Be Frank cart by the valet stand!

Congratulations to Mollie & Jim, they have an amazing 2010 in the works...with a little baby boy on the way! We wish you a lifetime of the love and happiness you shared on your wedding day. It was a pleasure and a privilege to be part of your special day. Thank you for allowing us to share in your journey.

Jenn & Mark ~ Bel-Air Bay Club

Jenn & Mark were such a fun couple to work with! They met on a Contiki Vacation in Australia and have been travelling all over the world ever since then! Jenn is originally from Southern California, so they chose the gorgeous Bel-Air Bay Club in Pacific Palisades for their wedding. Check out the view, it was truly the perfect day!

Jenn's dress was covered with beading and ruffles and she literally glowed when she put it on.

Jenn & Mark wanted to incorporate their love of travel into the day, so the escort cards were made to look like boarding passes and each table was named after a city they had visited.

We played up the rich brown tones in the room with beautiful Chocolate Chanel Windowpane linens and Gold Bella Fleur chairs with Chocolate Suede cushions.

Jenn & Mark purchased some fun props for the photobooth which made for some really fun photos!

Many thanks to everyone who made this day possible!

Vicki & Brian ~ Sneak Peek

We recently completed the table mock up for our clients, Victoria & Brian....when we first met with them, they described their vision of bold beautiful colors (specifically Purple & Turquoise) but keeping the overall feel elegant and sophisticated. With the help of Carissa from JLDesigns, Nate from LightenUp Inc, and Rhonda from Chameleon Chair we hit the nail on the head. Here is a sneak peek of the tablescape.

You thought we were going to show you flowers...you must wait until after the wedding to see the full table design.

Brian & Vicki were so pleased with the whole look, that they invited Susan and I to attend the Rocket vs. Laker playoff game that evening. (Brian plays for the Rockets). Here is a pic of Susan and I sitting amid a sea of Laker fans, we almost got kicked out of Staples for rooting on the Rockets.

We were so bummed that the Rockets didn't win the series, but it was an amazing experience to be able to attend one of the exciting playoff games.

Thank you to Brian & Vicki for including us in the fun evening. And a big thanks to Carissa, Nate & Rhonda for all their help in bringing Brian & Vicki's vision to life.

Love, The Bella Girls

Danielle & Michael ~ Beverly Hills Hotel

We just loved working with Danielle and Michael to plan their amazing wedding at the Beverly Hills Hotel. I remember first meeting Danielle, and when we asked her what her vision of the wedding was she said lots and lots of red roses and candlelight....did we make her dream a reality??

We love the shots that they used for the InStyle Blog feature, as well as the article in Celeb Life, but there were so many other detail shots that we had to share with you.

What a gorgeous bride Danielle made

Michael relaxing before seeing his bride for the first time.

We designed a custom circular pattern that we carried throughout the entire event, starting with the letterpressed invitations and ending with the custom gobo pattern on the dance floor and everything in between.
