Sara & Alex ~ Montage Beverly Hills

We loved working with Sara and her mom Tonia to plan this gorgeous Montage Beverly Hills wedding. Sara's family had a whirlwind over the past year with both daughters getting married. Tonia wanted to make sure that the entire day was representative of the individual style of Sara and Alex as well as to ensure an amazing evening full of dancing. When we say dancing, we mean the most gorgeous ballroom dancing we have ever seen in all of our years as wedding planners! Here are some of our favorite shots of the day, courtesy of Christine Marie Photography.

This was the grand finale to Sara & Alex's first dance. To see the dance in it's entirety, visit the Ashley Video blog.
Many thanks to everyone that made this day possible!

Sara & Alex, 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.

Mari & Trevor ~ St Monica's Catholic Church & Jonathan Club at the Beach

What a fun journey with Mari & Trevor during the wedding planning process...of course it was made even sweeter with all the Crumbs cupcakes Trevor brought to meetings so that we could 'taste and select' the perfect flavors for the wedding day. Here are a few of the amazing shots courtesy of Christine Marie Photography.St Monica's Catholic Church blocks from the beach in Santa Monica is a gorgeous chapel, we missed Tom & Gisele's wedding by just days.

In between the ceremony & reception, Mari's parents hosted everyone in their suite for a traditional Chinese tea ceremony.
The Jonathan Club at the Beach never fails to provide great backdrops for some truly So Cal bridal party pictures. Trevor had been trying to squeeze in a game of volleyball earlier in the AM with his boys, I guess he thought a tux was as good attire as any for a quick game.
A huge thank you to Sherri with the Jonathan Club, once again they exceeded all expectations with set up and staffing!
The amazing cupcakes courtesy of our friends at Crumbs, we were a little scared that we might run out before Susan and I got a taste. Thankfully that didn't happen!

A cute idea of having guests sign platters, rather than a traditional guest book.
A quick shot of the invitation that show cased the use of the Chinese symbol for Double Happiness, which was incorporated throughout the day.

We wish Mari & Trevor a life filled with the happiness and love that they shared on their wedding day!

Love, the Bella Girls
