From the photographer: “When I started to create the look. I wanted to
include a mix of colors and props. I wanted the table to look and feel
like a husband and wife had just eloped and were celebrating their
special moment on the beach having a romantic evening dinner. The table
runner fabric colors were a combination of blue, grey, purple and it
resembled a watercolor technique to it. I then incorporated white dinner
scalloped shape plates with a gold trim. I wanted the table to have a
splash of color so that color would be the marsala color of the year.
The table napkins were lavender sheer fabric and half of the napkins
were dipped into red wine and red Kool-Aid to create a somewhat Marsala
color I added a mix of silver flatware, the stemware collection was a
mix of pewter cups, purple goblets and glassware had a grey and marsala
watercolor style to it. The name and place cards were a pearly color shell
with white calligraphy writing on it. The centerpiece was my double clam
food party food holder and I used it as a floral centerpiece holder.
The romance on the table came from the mixed wine bottles with candle
wax on them. The peacock chairs with the floral
attached to them was the icing on the cake those chairs created the
tablescape I had envision. The floral New creation went well with a centerpiece I had been
dying to use for a styled shoot. The floral
design they created for the centerpiece tablescape included all the
colors on the pallet for the styled shoot. 

The flowers included in the floral design throughout the
shoot included: Lace-Chocolate, Amaranthus, hanging-red, Ranunculus, burgundy Brunia, Silver Dusty Miller Jasmine Vine, White Garden Rose ,
Patience Stock-white Privet Berry Rose-Amnesia Veronica-white Belladonna
Delphinium ark blue Cymbidium Orchid Sprays, large-burgundy Belladonna
Delphinium-light blue ucalyptus, Silver Dollar Stock-lavender
Succulents, Rosettes 4″Gerbera Gerrondo burgundy. The cake is such a gorgeous cake it was even better then what I had
envision and expected.
The Invitation Suite Clara Adame, WOW! That’s all I can say Clara from
did everything I asked her to do for the styled shoot and even better. I
asked her if she can write on fabric a beautiful poem she said to me I
have never done that but I will try. She did it and her work was
phenomenal from the calligraphy writing on the shell to display the
place card to the writing on fabric and the water color technique she used
for the invitation suite and menu she made me love watercolor and
calligraphy even more. 

The Dangelo Boutique in San Diego has the best
gowns around. The Bride wore First look was a fitted sweetheart shape
all lace ivory creme color gown. We then added the bell sleeve top waist
jacket that Diane created for the dress to make it look like it was one
piece gown. The jewelry was a boho gold style necklace that was hand
painted to incorporate the colors of the shoot pinks and
lavender and gold. The second looked was a fitted white satin gown and
adding the boho style bell sleeve jacket made the look very chic and
romantic makeup and hairstyle was created by Meredith Andre De Leon.
The makeup on the model that Meredith created was a natural look for the
bride and soft beach tussled waves for the hair style tux Friar Tux Shop.
