A lovely celebration with a theme based off vintage jewelry
that was given to the bride by her mother. The couple also made sure everything reflected family and
they incorporated their guests of honor in the ceremony and reception.
The Ceremony was held in a circle under a Trellis so that
Melissa and Don could be completely surrounded by those they loved. During the
cocktail hour the guests were entertained by Angelique the Human Music Box, her
performance WOWED everyone.
For the reception, The Granada Ballroom at
Rancho BernardoInn was transformed into a jazz club and the band kept the guests dancing all
night.
