kylene and rinaldi

Kylene and Rinaldi celebrated their wedding at the gorgeous Turnip Rose in Costa Mesa.  In California, October is the new June.  Perfect weather plus two amazing, selfless, creative, positive and drop dead gorgeous people made this a wedding for the ages!

Kylene’s dress from Mon Amie in Costa Mesa.  We loved the elegantly simple floral arrangements courtesy of Flowers By Allie.

The Turnip Rose is situated in the middle of a Spanish style courtyard, with huge open spaces that allow plenty of that beautiful California light to pour in and great vantage points for guests (and photographers) to view the wedding ceremony.

First look equals win for everyone.  See that picture on the right, that is a man that adores his wife.

Gorgeous couple.

One word: genuine.

See that, that’s a woman that knows she picked the right man!

Loved, loved, loved the print design for the menus, including the little cards that indicated guest meal preference.  Little touches like this go a long way to giving a wedding a personal and stylish touch.

Red and black color scheme needs deft touch to pull off well.  Kylene and Rinaldi, you are most definitely deft.  That cake was designed by Rockwells Creative Cakes, I don’t think I’ve ever seen the design so move up the cake like that!  And Chanda at My Creative Weddings outdid herself with all the invitations, menus and print design.  If you’re looking for a supremely talented and awesome design guru for your wedding, look her up.

Loved the centerpieces, again, deftly pulled off color schemeage.

Guests were all given custom tokens representing $1 donations, they were asked to donate to one of two organizations Kylene and Rinaldi advocate for on behalf of the community, Create Now and The Foodbank of Southern California. A great gesture that speaks volumes about Kylene and Rinaldi and the life they are going to lead together!

In keeping with the black and white theme, Jamie’s hand designed polaroid book.  She too is deft.

Kylene and Rinaldi featured their engagement session photos in a custom sign in book,  designed by Jamie:)

LOVED the red tones they chose, those ties rocked and the ladies were looking gorgeous!

Kylene and Rinaldi, we have so enjoyed getting to know you both, thanks for being awesome clients, for bringing us cupcakes, for being so fun to work with and for ending our 2009 wedding season on the highest of notes.  We’re so excited for what the future holds for you both!
