Pelican Hill Resort Wedding by Mike Colón Photographers
You just might be speechless after this next wedding by Mike Colón Photographers and, believe you me, I completely understand. With a breathtaking ceremony overflowing with gorgeous blooms by Enchanted Florist and a glamorous ballroom reception filled with warm candlelight, it’s one jaw-dropping moment after another in this traditional California soiree coordinated by Gail Garceau. And don’t even get me started on the bride’s custom gown. Love. Yes, there’s a whole lot of pretty coming your way, so join me in the gallery for even more!

From Mike Colón Photographers... As the ceremony was quickly approaching, there was this quiet murmur of excitement throughout the guests while they waited with eager anticipation for the wedding to begin. Stephanie kept peering out the window of the bridal suite at Pelican Hill Resort as the guests filed into their seats. This was the day she was marrying her best friend, the guy she met at college that years later turned out to be the love of her life. On the other side of the property, TJ was just so ready for the day to begin. He had been waiting to marry Stephanie for a long time, and to say he was thrilled that this day was finally here is an understatement! Not once or twice, but all throughout the day I overheard guests saying how much they loved and adored Stephanie and TJ. The way this couple love’s each other and those that are in their lives is honest, real, and intentional. For this reason people flew in from all over the world to celebrate their marriage.
After an intimate and sweet ceremony, the guests moved to the Pelican Hill lawn overlooking the Pacific Ocean for a cocktail hour, before being let into the main ballroom for an evening of exquisite food, dancing, and laughter until the early hours of the morning. Stephanie and TJ we adore you, we adored your wedding, we adore the way you love each other, and are honored to be apart of your journey.

Ok, I will admit that I don't usually prefer wedding gowns with sleeves but THIS is how it's done! I absolutely love her dress! I can't even talk about the florals - just amazing.

Well, I must say I'm a little biased (I was the bride, lol), but it sure was a beautiful day!!!
Natalie, the flowers on the cake table were by Nisie at Enchanted Florist. She's amazing and I would recommend her in a heartbeat!

So lovely. The bride's dress reminds me of Ivanka Trump's dress. Beautiful wedding...

Thanks!

Stephanie,
God bless you and your new Hubby, your wedding was FAB! I love all the flowers and your table setting was gorg! Your Centerpiece urns are the exact ones I want for my wedding. Do you know where your planner got them or rented them from?

To Lyla, I'm seculating here :) the bride's dress looks similar to Ivanka Trump's dress which was made by Vera Wang. So it might be from Vera Wang?

I never had the really big, extravigant wedding, but this one is just geourgeous!!! The one thing I remember most about my wedding was the best man's speech and how he just had such a hard time with it. My mom actually found him this book that he read from and I have to say it was more beautiful than I could have even come up with. If anyone is planning their big day and has a similar issue.. check this book out...

Looks just like Ivanka's dress.
-
August 25, 2011 at 2:13 pm
You guys are so perceptive! It was Vera Wang, inspired by the dress Ivanka Trump wore. However, we added the belt and ruched (roushed? I don't know how to spell that word!) the top a little bit.
My bridesmaid dresses were by Alix & Kelly http://alixkelly.com/ . They were super easy to work with.
Still working on the MOH dresses :)

Can some one please tell me where she went or to whom she went to design her dress?? I keep hearing about different brides doing custom gowns... I myself would like to do that... but I have no clue where to go... hook a sister up!

Yarita, my dress was from Vera Wang but we altered it a bit. If you would like to custom make your gown (and are in Los Angeles), I would highly recommend Ali Rahimi at Mon Atelier on La Brea. He is expensive but he cuts gowns impeccably (he trained with Mr. Galanos) and uses the most delicious fabrics! Plus, your dress was built exactly for you, your taste, and your body. Hope this helps you :)

Stephanie, would you consider selling your gown? I love it, but I could never afford buying it at the salon...

You're right, it was one jaw-dropping moment after another! Stephanie has such style and you can see it in every detail. It really was THE most beautiful wedding for a beautiful couple!
