Alicia & Andrew :: Woman's Club of Orange Wedding

So happy to be able to finally share this one with you. Alicia & Andrew's wedding is featured on Style Me Pretty California! Style Me Pretty is one of my favorite wedding blogs of all time and I am so honored to be featured. Click on the SMP badge to see the feature, more photos and read Alicia's detailed account of the day. Thank you SMP!

My favorite kind of weddings are intimate, casual, DIY and truly reflect the loving couple. Alicia & Andrew wedding was exactly that. They invited their closest friends and family where a majority of them pitched in their time and talent to make the day gorgeous. The couple live in and love the City of Orange, CA. So, naturally they chose locations within their beloved city to celebrate. If I had to sum up this wedding in one word it would be PERFECT.

Thank you again to Alicia and Andrew for trusting me to document their wedding! xo Rachel

Getting ready for the bride took place in their home and the groom had a toast with his groomspeople at a local favorite, the Haven Gastropub.

The First Look

The drop dead gorgeous bride with her lovely bridal party. The florals by Collected With Love were stunning.

The handsome groom with his best guys and gal. Loved their casual no jacket, striped tie look.

Such a genuinely fun wedding party!

And, THE cutest little ring bearer

The quaint Woman's Club of Orange, located in the heart of the city, was the lovely location for their outdoor ceremony and reception.

Details were decked with vintage rentals and oranges to add color and give nod to the city.

The delicious food was served buffet style by the friendly Soho Taco.

Prettiest little sweetheart table I ever did see.

Pinwheel backdrop made by the bride!

The ombre chevron table runners were the perfect addition to make the vintage gold dinnerware pop

All desserts were made by family and friends. Cake was made by the bride's sister.

Vintage wedding rings procured from a local antique store in Orange

Jessica & Todd: Married at the Woman's Club in the City of Orange

When the talented Sarah Layne had me come along to assist her for this wedding, I had no clue as to how amazing it was going to be. Jessica and Todd themselves handled all the details and charming touches of this winter theme wedding set in the glamour of Old Hollywood. Jessica and Todd said their vows at dusk in an outdoor ceremony lit by twinkling Christmas lights. During the reception guests were warmed by sipping hot cocoa or apple cider by the fireplace, took silly photos for the photo booth and were treated to sweets such as mint chocolate cupcakes that are so perfect for the Holiday season. To top it all off they had a big band orchestra croon some classic tunes that really put the guests "In the Mood." Thanks again to Sarah for having me along. Please check out Sarah's lovely photos on her blog. And, to all my blog readers I hope you have a Happy Holiday and New Year with the ones near and dear to you. I appreciate all the love and support you have given me this past year. I know 2012 will be amazing! See you then.

Congratulations to Jessica & Todd!
