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!

Jenn & Mark - it was such a pleasure and a privilege to be a part of your special day, thank you for the opportunity to share the journey with you both! We wish you a lifetime of all the happiness and love that you shared on your wedding day.

Sarah & Kevin ~ Adamson House, Malibu

On a scale of 1 to 10, this was truly a 12! It was truly a pleasure to help Sarah & Kevin plan their perfect wedding day celebration! We are so thrilled that Snippet and Ink and Flights of Fancy showcased additional pictures from the wedding, be sure to check out the full posts.


The first glimpse, whether you choose to see one another before the ceremony or wait till the walk down the aisle the results are the same...a flood of amazing emotions that we are blessed to be able to witness.



Some gorgeous shots of Sarah's Amsale gown.




It started with a couple that was focused on the enjoyment of each of their guests, we added in a breathtaking location in Malibu, a search for the most amazing wedding food, a small detour for Sara & Kevin to purchase enough Lego men to do their seating chart in 3-D (more about that later), and ending with a spectacular day at the Adamson House in Malibu. We are pleased to share more of the amazing photo's courtesy of Josef Isayo Photography.


A feast for the eyes, amazing florals by Kate at Flowerwild, and of course the gorgeous Pacific.




A shot of the creative seating chart with the Lego people...at least I (Kathy) got to be the cool Lego with the fancy orange vest and walkie talkie.

A huge thanks to the entire team that made this wedding so extraordinary!

Introducing Frosting Friday!

We're starting a new feature on the Bella blog where every Friday we will be featuring one of our favorite things - cake!

Today's cake is from Kelly & Mark's wedding at the Adamson House. Kelly is a talented interior designer and she used the vase in the middle of the cake as her inspiration for the design. This cake was so gorgeous that it was featured in the fabulous Grace Ormonde magazine!
