[Cue Applause]
Ken and I just returned from San Diego, Calif., where we spent the past few days celebrating with one of my best friends, along with her family and friends, this entry into a new season as a married woman. It was incredible! I had the privilege of serving as Matron of Honor and loved every minute of it. As a wedding planner, I am typically in charge of coordinating all the ceremony and reception details and miss out on just being able to relax and enjoy the party--let alone give a speech! It was such a blessing to offer my friendship and encouragement in a more personal way this time.
Every part of my friend's wedding was superbly executed, from the lovely outdoor ceremony location overlooking the marina to the warm, soft mini lights encased in sheer white fabric lining the wood walls in the reception hall. My friend and her now husband had their hand in every detail. For instance, their table centerpieces were manzanita branches they collected themselves, then painted white. With tact and an eye for design, they then hung glass beads with string from various branches, set in place with a rustic burlap cover. The table numbers, escort cards, and seating arrangements added to the 'rustic-chic-meets-refined-elegance' atmosphere. I'm so impressed at their creativity! The wedding was stunning.
Here are some of my favorite photos from the wedding:

As the Matron of Honor, I also had the honor of helping with the pre-wedding festivities. Here are some photos of the Bachelorette Party, which began at a restaurant downtown and then finished back at our Bridal Party Suite. Enjoy!
Cheers to the happy couple!!
