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!

Festival of Brides at Terranea Resort

This past weekend we had the pleasure of working with a few of our favorite vendors for the Festival of Brides event at Terranea Resort in Palos Verdes. Let me start by saying, if you haven’t taken a trip down to Terranea yet…it’s well worth it! The grounds are beautiful and the ocean views are breathtaking! Its a great weekend destination for your wedding.

The first thing you notice about Terranea is the setting: broad tawny cliffs, rolling cobalt ocean, and multiple terraces carved out for saline-treated pools, restaurant patios and walking paths. The 582-room property just opened in June after 12 years of planning to create a resort that would enhance, rather than exploit, the surrounding community. The end result was a success — Terranea’s eco initiatives, including landscaping with succulents and installing a rain-filtration system, have helped conserve California’s limited water supply and actually cleaned up the ocean (much to neighbors’ delight). Airy guest-room balconies, as well as public spaces, make the most of the vista, and furnishings are earthy and inviting.

The event space

The Catalina Lawn (seats 200) is the favored ceremony site; perched on a cliff, it affords regular sightings of dolphins and whales, and its trellis is easily dressed up with strings of orchids that flutter in the breeze. From there, wedding parties move to the Catalina Terrace for cocktail hour (outdoor lounges, complete with fire pits and cozy cabanas, are a popular addition). Next door, the Catalina Room effortlessly conforms to any reception theme, thanks to its muted color scheme. All three venues are within walking distance of one another and boast killer ocean views.

Discovery Trail

This two-mile oceanfront path, which starts at Nelson’s restaurant and winds its way down to the resort’s sheltered beach, was as scenic as it was refreshing. I couldn’t help but stop every few yards to admire the breakers and distant outline of Catalina Island.
