Real Wedding :: Kelly and Veronica {Wish Upon a Wedding}

Just a couple weeks ago Wish Upon a Wedding granted another wedding wish.  Here’s a little background on Kelly and Veronica’s story:

Kelly was diagnosed with a brain cancer called glioblastoma in May after being hospitalized with excruciating headaches. Glioblastoma, or GBM, is one of the most destructive forms of cancer and Kelly has a gene known as Li-Fraumeni syndrome, that puts people at a very high risk for cancer. This gene runs in Kelly’s family and has taken the lives of his mother, grandmother and three uncles.
Kelly’s doctors have estimated that he will have 18 months to live with chemotherapy and radiation treatment. But Kelly is a positive person who is committed to fighting the disease. He plans to live a long life with his wife and their six children. We believe anything is possible and we are keeping Kelly and Veronica in our thoughts as they go through probably the biggest fight of their lives.

The wedding ceremony and reception was important to Veronica and Kelly not only to express their love and devotion to each other, but also to create loving memories for their children to have forever. Marianne Lozano, a prominent wedding photographer in Los Angeles, was there to capture these treasured moments for the Haro family.

The wedding couldn’t have been more perfect and intimate for them and their children.


I loved her dress donated by Bonny Bridal!


Thanks again to all the vendors who donated to make this wedding come to life including Jay’s Catering and Serra Plaza!

Always happy and proud to be part of this organization!  For the full list of vendors and more pictures visit the Wish Upon a Wedding blog here.

*Also, if you’re interested in coming to our Blissful Wishes Gala on October 10th at the Vibiana, it’s not too late to get tickets here!


Tuesday Shoesday

Looking for a little bling yet a classy and elegant look for your wedding shoes? These could be the ones just for you and they even have other colors to choose from. I think they are quite simple yet so adorable. Plus who wouldn’t want this lovely mint color in their shoe collection for a special occasion.

Hope you all have a great rest of the week!

Wish Upon a Wedding :: Blissful Wishes Gala

As some of you may or may not know, I’m part of the Wish Upon a Wedding Board and this Wednesday we had our OC/LA chapter Blissful Wishes Gala with its purpose was to fund raise funds for the couples we grant wishes for.  So part of the whole team!  Here we are having our walk through at the gorgeous Vibiana.

Thanks to The Brothers Wright for covering our planning meeting.
Here are a couple of my Instagram shots of the night!

 
Couldn’t be any more thankful to all the sponsors which are listed here on our Facebook page and any more proud of our board.  We raised over $25k and we met our goal!
Next year I’m happy to say that I’ll be staying on for another year in the Wish Granter position.  This is definitely happy Friday news!  Next week come back for some more IG sneaks of our wedding at the Westin Costa Mesa tomorrow!

Westin Costa Mesa Wedding Sneak Peeks!

This weekend we had a gorgeous wedding with the cutest couple.  Here are a couple Instagram shots before my phone died on me!

This first shot was their first look without looking at each other.  It was so sweet having them blindfolded and then letting them touch!

Mr. + Mrs. Knight!  Now I wanted to take pictures of their jam favors and other details but the last shot I was able to get was the cake!

Can’t wait to get the photographer shots!  Have a great week lovelies!

Veluz Wedding Gowns

When I first laid my eyes on a Veluz wedding gown,  I seriously could not stop starting.  The intricate details on her gowns are just to die for.   And when I say intricate, I mean intricate.

Although this bridal designer doesn’t have a site that I know of, she has a blog and she’s from the Philippines.  I’m thinking vow renewals over there?  🙂

I think I’ve shared this image before but it’s just so gorgeous, I can’t help it!

I think most of her work is a little more covered up and traditional so there’s a little more room for intricate tops.  I do know that she works with bride abroad so…that’s great news!

Last 2 images via her Facebook
I definitely believe she will blow up pretty soon.  Her images are gorgeous, don’t you think?
