The Wedding of Colleen & Josh - July 16th, 2010


This beautiful bride is my assistant Colleen! We had so much fun planning her wedding together!



She has seen so many weddings over the last several years and had lots of ideas on how to customize her own. She did a wonderful job incorporating her favorite colors of coral and brown.

Colleen chose one of my most favorite local venues to say "I Do" to her wonderful new husband Josh...





Padua Hills Theatre is nestled in the Foothills of Claremont, California. With it's historical buildings dating back to the 1920's, and the rustic elegance of the courtyard, it was perfect for this gorgeous summer evening!

Carol's Secret Garden took Colleens color scheme and created a stunning backdrop for her ceremony and reception. Carol used gorgeous chiffon swag in the perfect shades of coral and brown along the aisle and throughout the gazebo.

She included beautiful hydrangea, roses, lillies, daisy's and all of Colleen's favorite flowers and greenery. Centerpieces were alternated from high to low which gave the room depth and interest.

Scott Yoffe of Entertainment Express was the entertainment director of the evening. He and his DJ Scott had everyone dancing all night! Scott also provided beautiful ambient lighting to color wash the walls in the loveliest shade of coral to match the decor.


Colleen and Josh sat at a sweet heart table behind the dance floor that was accented by a beautiful iron arbor and embellished with the same chiffon fabric used for the ceremony. It was perfect!
