Intercontinental Los Angeles Century City Wedding | Amber + Brian

ABetmaleck — Sat, 13 Apr 2013 22:08:28 +0000

An airy, contemporary chic wedding at the unique Intercontinental Los Angeles Hotel, Amber and Brian had family and friends gather to celebrate their union as one! The rooftop of the hotel offers spectacular views of the city; a perfect spot for the bride to reveal her wedding day look to her soon-to-be husband! The Intercontinental Hotel offers a gorgeous garden with a cobblestone path for the bride to walk down to her groom, as well as a grand ballroom for an evening filled with food and dancing! Each bridesmaid held a bouquet of white flowers with a navy blue ribbon matching their attire. The bride also had a white bouquet with accent flowers draping down in front. The tables had navy blue sequin linen matching the color scheme of the wedding party. The sweet heart table had ghost chairs that read “Hug Me” and “Kiss Me“ on the opposing chair. Reception tables had a white base and a clear top with many different types of white flowers across it. The white dance floor, had a blue custom monogram and was a hit when Amber and her bridesmaids did a choreographed dance for their family and friends! The beautiful wedding cake had blue flowers along with cascading white flowers to match the theme! Amber and Brian were incredibly fun to work with! We loved the elegance and creativity of their wedding and thank you Priscila for these stunning images!

Hotel Maya, Long Beach Oceanfront Wedding | Wonhee + Sungmin

ABetmaleck — Sat, 23 Mar 2013 09:58:24 +0000

Who needs a destination wedding in Hawaii when you could bring the sea to you? Having lived so close to the coast in southern California, Wonhee and Sungmin have always wanted to go sailing. Their wedding was at the Hotel Maya in Long Beach, across from the gorgeous harbor of Long Beach. The inspiration board allowed for this nautical themed wedding to be unique, fun, and elegant as we had a chance to play with the dessert bar by incorporating cute donut lifesavers!

At the ceremony, ropes resembling those of boats, lined the aisle and were incorporated in the brides bouquet. The bride and groom had their very own personalized stationary with an anchor design as well as custom linens and napkins. The ring pillow had an anchor design as well. We got creative with the bride and groom sign using the nautical inspiration and created the captain and first mate sign! The personalized dance floor monogram was an eye catcher for all of the guests.

With a breathtaking view of the Pacific Ocean and the wedding’s beautiful light blue, navy, light grey and soft butter details, Wonhee and Sungmin invited their guests to come sail away with them on their next journey together. Studio EMP did a fabulous job with the photography at the wedding!

Vibiana Downtown Los Angeles Wedding l Tina + Jonathan

ABetmaleck — Tue, 03 Jul 2012 06:35:41 +0000

A melodious wedding in a timeless venue, Tina and Jonathan were the sweetest couple with unique ideas for their special day. We invested 10 months planning this wedding, all beginning with the couple’s engagement session. The ceremony was held at the Vibiana in Downtown Los Angeles. The formal Cathedral of St. Vibiana dates back to 1876. The cathedral is modeled after the Italian Baroque style, that is dramatic yet tasteful. Key elements to this wedding design were pieces of sheet music used in several different ways. The addition of candle light during the reception added warmth to the white floral and the venue itself. One of our favorite elements was designing and styling the dessert table on the vintage piano and vintage furniture. A special thank you to Callaway Gable for the amazing photographs!

Dessert bar | Asian Dessert Bar

Dessert Bar

I’ve been receiving a lot of questions about the Asian dessert bar we created for Tiffany & Josh’s wedding… so here is “how to make your dessert table stand out” for those of you who wanted to know.

First, we begin by choosing a theme which should be easy based on your overall wedding theme. Then we want to make sure that we have a variety of desserts so we can please as many guests as possible, add the colors that match the wedding color scheme and accentuate bride & groom’s favorite dessert to make it personal and fun. Lastly, we spice up with some creative elements such as signs or a little notes explaining why the couple chose these sweets, props and linen, etc… then the rest will be history. I’m sure if you follow this recipe, your dessert bar will stand out and excite your guests.

- Variety Japanese rice cookies (Easily found at any Asian market such as Mitsuwa)

- Mini fondant cakes “The Nigiri Set Sushi” (We custom ordered)

- Monaka (Red bean cookies) – Individually wrapped with our stationery paper

- Green tea cupcakes

- Japanese Mochi & Korean rice cakes

- Props to enhance the look
