Casa Amore, baby! Part 2, Southern Charm

Monday, April 26th, 2010


The Grand Salon at Casa Real was divvy’d up so that two killer floral designers could do something special.  On both sides, Pleasanton Rentals provided the accessories, decor, furniture, and Fantasy Sound Event Services made everything sparkle with fantastic event lighting throughout the Grand Salon.  Both heavily contributed towards the overall room design.

First up, Karl at Delford West and his “Southern Charm” style!

Casa Amore, baby! Part One…

Friday, April 23rd, 2010


Casa Real is one of my favorite places to wed, ever.  The site is amazing, the light is gorgeous, the food is killer, the staff is friendly and fantastic.  They just always go above and beyond there and it shows.

This year, the director of events Alyssia decided she wanted to really highlight the vendors Casa Real trusts the most with an elegant evening of wonderful wine and inspiration.  I took so many photos that I’ll have to break it up in bits and pieces, so bear with me!

First, the Amber Room.  This was the show stopper!  Enhanced Lighting & Sound created a virtual carpet of light as the aisle, with Nicole Ha -designed florals and Hartmann Studios providing the incredible chairs, chandeliers and mirrors.  In the corner, Krista Strader‘s harp drew you in to admire the candles and draping and pure elegance.

The following images represent stylist Armando Sarabia, dresses from J’aime Bridal, event stationery by Cards de Luxe, lighting by Enhanced Lighting & Sound, furniture/draping/mirrors/accessories from Hartmann Studios, and design by Nicole Ha…
