Step into a world where enchantment and elegance intertwine, where colors dance, and the magic is flowing. This October, we found a place of magic at Second Space in Brea, California. The setting was whimsical and delightful, and the atmosphere was nothing short of pure wonder.

It was a styled shoot like no other, where creativity knew no bounds, thanks to Theresa Lee Events! She did an amazing job. We had the honor of contributing our own touch of charm to this party. We did moon and star stir sticks, 'hey boo' cake toppers, ghost stir sticks, ghost name tags, and the 'make your own magic' signage, each adding a sprinkle of our signature whimsy to the party.

Every photo from the shoot was an absolute masterpiece. The talented photographer, Sunny Kim Photography, managed to capture every detail, from the vibrant balloon garlands to the elegant lasercut details, perfectly. The result was a collection of photos that truly showcased the playful atmosphere of the styled shoot.

The mesmerizing multi-arch backdrop, provided by Iron Grace Rentals, was an absolute showstopper. It was a canvas for the theme of the day - "Make Your Own Magic." We added lasercut signage that perfectly captured the essence of the event. The backdrop always becomes the heart of the celebration. This backdrop nailed it.

The balloon garland added a fun and colorful touch to the backdrop. Its playful mix of light pink, ombre purple, black, white, cream, and light orange perfectly complemented the whole vibe of the styled shoot, making the whole setup feel even more enchanting. Simply Wild Party did a beautiful job with it!

The cake and other desserts from M Cake Sweets was nothing short of a culinary masterpiece – a deliciously ironic blend of elegance and spooky. Adorned with black skeleton hands and crowned with our cheeky "hey boo" cake topper, it was a delightful confection that mirrored the shoot's playful sophistication. M Cake Sweets truly brought the cake, and the chuckles, to the table.

The place settings were a delightful sight to behold, graced with the charming color palette of light pink, black, ombre purple, white, cream, and a touch of light orange. In this styled shoot, every detail was meticulously crafted to create an enchanting atmosphere. To complete the look, we added our moon and ghost stir sticks, which effortlessly blended into the theme.

The tables and chair rentals from Mini Mod Rentals added a touch of modern sophistication. The black Mid Century Modern chairs perfectly complemented the sleek white tables, creating an effortlessly stylish contrast. Our white and black lasercut ghost place cards attached to the back of each chair, were a charming addition, adding a playful element to each place setting.

In the world of weddings, celebrations, and events, it's easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of love stories and celebrations. But every now and then, we're reminded that love is not just about the grandeur of the day; it's about the strength, resilience, and unwavering support that two people offer each other in the face of life's challenges.

Recently, we had the privilege of being part of a truly remarkable love story – one that reaffirmed our belief in the power of love and the beauty of giving back. Alesha, from De La Planning is a planner and board member with Wish Upon A Wedding, a non-profit organization that grants wedding wishes to couples confronting terminal illness or life-altering health circumstances. Wish Upon A Wedding doesn't just create weddings; they create moments of hope, joy, and love that transcend the ordinary. When we were approached by Alesha to contribute to Helena and Chris' wedding, a couple whose journey had been marked by the formidable opponent that is cancer, we didn't hesitate. Little did we know that this experience would leave an indelible mark on our hearts and souls.

In this space of weddings and event production, we've discovered a profound truth – this industry is not just about business; it's a community and it is built on compassion and collaboration. Our experience with De La Planning and Wish Upon A Wedding has shown us that when it comes to making dreams come true, wedding vendors from all walks of life unite, offering their services, products, and time without hesitation. It's a beautiful testament to the big hearts that beat behind the scenes of every wedding and event – the florists, photographers, planners, and countless others who rally together to create moments of magic. This industry thrives on the belief that love and the human experience is meant to be celebrated, no matter the circumstances. It's a reminder that in the midst of life's challenges, there are countless hands ready to lift a couple up, turning their dreams into a reality. We're honored to be part of an industry that not only celebrates love but also spreads hope, one celebration at a time.

At the Long Beach Museum of Art, the venue offered a stunning oceanfront backdrop for Helena and Chris' ceremony, adding an extra touch of beauty to their special day. All of these stunning pictures are from talented and one of the world’s top wedding photographers, John and Joseph Photography.

The incredibly talented, Moses Lin serenaded the couple with his live musical performances with his classic guitar. I’ve been lucky enough to meet Moses and hear his gorgeous musical renditions of classic and trendy music! You probably have too if you’ve watched Bling Empire!

Our custom wood stir sticks and bar signs lent an artisanal flair to Helena and Chris' mocktail bar. Personalized details like these can be the perfect conversation starters, reminding everyone that love is in the details. The mocktails were generously donated by Moonlight Mocktails and they look so pretty and delicious!

Bella Blooms provided an abundance of breathtaking floral arrangements that adorned every corner of the wedding. Their artistry truly shone at the sweetheart table, creating a romantic haven for Helena and Chris. Equally deserving of praise, La Pinata Party Rentals provided the rentals, and Nüage Design for their linens which helped elevate the ambiance to new heights.

Sydney and Alesha from De La Planning were the brilliant minds behind the scenes, orchestrating every detail with precision and passion. Their creative vision wove seamlessly through the entire wedding, bringing together every element into a harmonious tapestry of love and celebration. From the meticulously curated decor to the flawless execution of the day's events, their dedication transformed Helena and Chris' dream into a reality. It was through their expertise that the day felt not just like a wedding but a heartfelt journey of love, resilience, and unity.

There were so many vendors who donated and we feel honored to be among them. Please make an effort to check them out and support them.

In the end, I feel deeply fortunate to have been part of this journey with Wish Upon A Wedding, Helena, Chris, and their young daughter. While we may have contributed products to their special day, we received something far greater in return – a reminder that love knows no bounds, and that in the face of life's challenges, love shines even brighter.

As we continue our work in this industry, we carry with us the lessons learned from Helena and Chris. We remember that every wedding, every celebration, is a precious moment to be cherished. And we are forever grateful to organizations like Wish Upon A Wedding for reminding us of the profound impact that love and generosity can have in our lives.

To Helena and Chris, and to Wish Upon A Wedding, thank you for allowing us to be a part of your journey. Your love story has touched our hearts, and we will carry it with us always.

Congratulations, bride-to-be!

Your big day is fast approaching, and the celebrations are about to kick off with a bang. One of the most memorable events leading up to the wedding is the bachelorette party, where you get to let loose with your closest friends and have a night (or weekend) to remember. To make your bachelorette party truly special and one-of-a-kind, here are 5 unique ways to personalize your celebration, including an innovative and chic option from yours truly, Delovely Details!

• Customized Itinerary: Ditch the generic bachelorette party plans and create a customized itinerary tailored to the bride's interests and personality.

Get creative and personalize the itinerary based on what the bride loves and enjoys.

• Themed Attire: Elevate the fun with themed attire for the bachelorette party. Choose a theme that reflects the bride's style and preferences, whether it's a tropical luau, a glamorous '80s dance party, or a cozy cabin getaway. Encourage all attendees to dress up and take plenty of Instagram-worthy photos to capture the memories. Personalized T-shirts, tank tops, or matching accessories like hats or sunglasses with the bride's name or wedding date can add an extra touch of customization to the event.

• Unique Party Favors: Show your appreciation to your bachelorette party and guests with unique and thoughtful party favors. Skip the generic favors and opt for something personalized that will be cherished long after the party is over. Our two-layer acrylic name tags are a perfect choice to personalize gift bags for your party guests. These elegant and stylish name tags can be customized with their names, adding a touch of sophistication and individuality to their gift bags.

• Signature Cocktails: Raise a glass to the bride with signature cocktails that are specially crafted for the bachelorette party. Create unique drink recipes that reflect the bride's favorite flavors, colors, or themes.
