From the start, Anthony and I had one of those easy relationships that just seemed too good to be real. We met working as social workers at a cancer hospital in Florida and we were engaged two years later. Anthony proposed while we were on a family trip to Europe overlooking the Eiffel Tower on New Years Eve. Knowing that family is incredibly important to me, he had the the ring for over six months prior to popping the question as he knew I would want my family from California to be around. I apparently was the only person that did not know this was going to happen.
When we began planning our wedding there were certain decisions that were fairly easy. We knew that it would be small and intimate with family and close friends, we wanted it to be outdoors and we knew we had to choose a color spectrum that Anthony could see, as he is partially color blind. We decided on the Muckenthaler Mansion in Fullerton, CA without even seeing the place. We went by pictures and my parents countless visits and sealed the deal. We happily settled on yellow and gray as our colors as they seemed to evoke the true spirit that we were hoping to provide for our day – fun, whimsy, comfort, happy, casual. With the help of multiple vendors and countless etsy stores, our wedding eventually developed into a vintage Parisian ecclectic theme with love bird accents.
We wanted to keep the whole day as easy, personal and intimate as possible and we really felt like that was accomplished. We added a ring warming ceremony to the beginning of our service, personalized statements and an incredible reading from a great friend. The night eventually morphed into unplanned choregraphed dances, plenty of food, laughter and our guests walking away with lemon macarons from ‘lette macarons in Beverly Hills. Our wedding was truly a perfect depiction of who we are as a couple and our desire to make every guest feel like family.

What a beautiful cake! Such detailing.
Beautiful wedding! :) I was wondering if the bride, or anyone, could tell me where those neat eiffel tower champagne flutes came from????
My wedding next Spring is semi French themed and I would love to have a pair of those!
Hi Robin! We're looking into the champagne flutes for you!
Hey Robin, here is what the bride had to say: "The champagne flutes were a gift from one of my bridesmaids and she got them at ZGallerie http://www.zgallerie.com/p-8200-eiffel-tower-flutes-set-of-4.aspx (looks like they're still being sold, yay!)."
Kayla - truly beautiful! It makes me so happy to see my bridal necklace come to life on your gorgeous wedding day. Everything looks wonderful!
Victoria

Very nicely chronicled.
Kayla is such a beautiful bride! I love each & every one of these photos. I am so happy that my team was able to be a part of this wedding. All the girls look beautiful!!! What a great post!!
Kayla and Anthony were so wonderful to work with and I always looked forward to meeting up with them! The photos are amazing and the colors make me so happy! Thank you for the feature!
I love these pics! I'm getting married in September and I'm also using grey and yellow. I would love to know where the guys ties came from!!
Congratulations Abby! We love the gray and yellow - such a fun color scheme. I'm checking on the guys ties for you now.
Ok thanks!
Thank you Style Me Pretty for featuring our wedding! I check this blog multiple times a day and couldn't believe our wedding was going to be on it (thank you Sweet Monday!). Thank you also for all the lovely comments. I saw the question about the ties... the groomsmen ties were from Friar Tux, where we rented the suits. Anthony's tie was from Macy's and I think it was a Donald Trump.
Kayla and Anthony - Congrats from Florida...what a beautiful couple and gorgeous wedding spot.
