Weddings by the sea by event designer Jeannie Savage from Details Details

It is always nice to come across the lovely work of talented wedding planners, such as Jeannie Savage, Details  Details. Hers and her teams´ work is original, fresh and innovative. Tasteful and elegant ideas for a wedding in which all the slightest details are taken into account.The result an harmonious and beautiful day no one will forget. Perfeccionist and extremely creative, the weddings they plan are elegant weddings, full of colour, rich texture and imagination. A real dream wedding !

Jeannie is a lovely person, attentive and supportive. As soon as I got in touch with her she was there ready to share all her wide experience with us. Based in Southern California, although she can work anywhere around the world, we thought it would be a great idea if she gave us an insight into weddings by the sea, as they are so popular there. I now leave you with some lovely photos of her recent work and with some kind words on her behalf where she talks about weddings in Southern California. Thanks a lot Jeannie for sharing your work with us !!

“As wedding and event planners in Southern California, we are fortunate to have beautiful luxury resorts so close to the Pacific Ocean.  About half the weddings we plan annually are not local residents, as many travel from far away for these breath taking spots.  Many of our clients are from Asia, Europe and many states within the US that have no surrounding water.  I think sometimes I take for granted the glorious sunsets we have daily. I personally don’t like that close to the water but when I get a chance to see a sunset, I do try to stop and stare!

We are extremely lucky with great year round weather, little rain and humidity provides for wedding ceremonies to take place out doors and even dinner under the stars in the summer months.  Popular coastal cities are Malibu, Santa Monica, Huntington Beach and Laguna Beach, where one can find many hotels and resorts.  With such beautiful backdrops, many brides choose lighter color palettes for their wedding. Any neutral tones work wonderfully with an outdoor setting. You can have a modern clean beach themed wedding or art déco garden wedding with hedges.  The Pacific Ocean is a blank canvas and one that I don’t see going out of trend.”

A rainy wedding day can be just as beautiful as any other day. You just have to choose a nice umbrella for yourselves and ask your guests to bring along an umbrella in the colours or designs you decide. Here are some ideas to make the most of a rainy day. Hope you like them !

Why not choose stripes or dots, to give your wedding a chic feel about it.

The bridesmaids all with the same colour umbrella, or everyone with colourful umbrellas ? Both choices look great !

Just look at this couple. Don´t they look cute ?

And don´t forget, just take it easy and enjoy yourselves. All you need is an umbrella, a good pair of boots and plenty sense of humour !

Today´s post is a beautiful and unique story, the story of Eva and Angel´s wedding. The photos of their wedding amanzingly captured by photographers Luna y Jose tell us a story of love, emotions, friendship…. on a very special day, their wedding day. This lovely couple got married at the end of July, in their hometown Málaga. All the joy of this special moment, the nerves, the carefully prepared details…will remain forever in their own memory and of those that love them through the images of their wedding day. Hundreds of photos that reflect their happiness and of which I am going to select some so that, through them, you can retell the story of this couple´s, unique day, as in a fairy tale. We wish them all the love and happiness in the world.
