Today we wanted to share one of our favorite weddings from a couple very near and dear to us. Tiffany & Joshua wedded last May at Calamigos in Malibu and their wedding was anything but ordinary. For starters, they are both sheriffs and they were so calm and relaxed throughout the whole wedding.  I’d give them 10 out of 10 for being one of the most relaxed and cool couples of all my wedding planning history! Tiffany still jokes around that she could go through the whole process all over again and get married again. That’s how much we loved and enjoyed every step of our wedding planning and all the fun details.

Honoring the Japaneses/Hawaiian and Korean background from the couple, we incorporated some of the cultural elements to our wedding.

Since the bride’s family was from Hawaii, both parents accentuated with the Hawaiian leis during the ceremony.  Also, her father had a wonderful voice and sang a Hawaiian love song for the guests during his welcome speech, which was just phenomenal. We also used smooth river rocks to put all the guest names which served as a place card.  All of our lovely stationery was produced with a traditional Japanese paper to add a flavor as well. The biggest hit was our Asian  dessert bar. Our very own pastry chef, Amber, baked yummy green tea cupcakes, Korean sweet rice cakes, cake pops using our theme color (sage green, blush pink & ivory), monakas wrapped with Asian paper, Japanese mochis and a real sushi fondant cake which looked so real that everyone had to feel it.

Congrats again to the happy couple and all of us at Bella Destinee wish them all the best!
