The Big Day: Raqel & Madison

Beau & Arrow Events — Thu, 16 May 2013 14:56:30 +0000

You’ll be seeing a lot of these posts in the upcoming weeks, but boy are we excited to share all about the weddings we’re working on! Most of these we’ve been planning for many many months, however every once and a while a dream wedding rolls around that makes you say “sure, we can plan that in less than two months.” Best decision we made- Raqel and Madison are sweeter than apple pie and are the coolest kids you will meet.

They selected Marvimon House as their wedding venue for it’s charming quirkiness & quickly formulated an amazing color palette based off of their favorite colors, which also happened to be existing throughout the space. The day will include inky blues, lush greens, cinnamon and coffee accents with beautiful blush pinks. Both being huge flower lovers, you can bet we’re going to hang a garland wherever we can. Can’t wait to see what those crafty Root 75 gals come up with! We’re also excited to be working with LaMill for a fun coffee bar to nod at their first date. If there’s coffee…count us in!

Can’t wait to share the photos from Logan Cole and the wedding film from Brinton Films of their big day. As always, stay in touch with our instagram for sneaky peeks!

Happy Birthday Elle!

You do so much to make everyone else’s special occasions unforgettable, that you deserve just the best birthday full o’ family, friends, laughter, presents, and cake of course. Wishing you the best birthday ever! xoxo

The Big Day: Alana & Tyler!!

Beau & Arrow Events — Fri, 10 May 2013 13:00:05 +0000

It’s Friday and we are grinning ear to ear. That’s what happens when we’re en route to Palm Springs. That’s also what happens when we’re headed into a fun-filled weekend for a RAD wedding. Alana & Tyler are that dream couple that you hope you get to work with and they are of course very very rad. Need some proof? Here’s some goodies we’re incorporating into their big day on Saturday: disco balls. polaroid escort cards. a record wall. a pie bar. fake mustaches. Yup, we’re still grinning.

If you couldn’t tell, these two are music lovers. From their record wedding invitations to their band poster table names, this shared love for rock n roll will be weaved throughout their whole day. The cherry on the tippy top of this musical sundae is The Flashdance. Couldn’t think of anyone better to rock out this wedding! Yup, still smiling. Can’t wait for tomorrow and to be working with the lovely Root 75, Honey Honey, Amy Clarke, Lady Dianna, Yeah Rentals, and Son of Sharkpig on this killer Ace Wedding. All this talk got you hot & bothered? Head over to our Pinterest to see what else inspired A&T’s big day and stay tuned to our instagram for some sneak peeks! Promise not to post too many poolside pics…

Candice & John’s Wedding!!

Beau & Arrow Events — Mon, 22 Apr 2013 15:23:31 +0000

We were over the moon excited when Candice reached out to us last year about helping coordinate her & John’s August Leo Carrillo wedding. Her very dear pal and one of our faves Courtney of Brightly Designed was helping her out with all of the details, so we immediately agreed to step in the last few weeks before the wedding and on the actual big day to take the reins and make sure everything went off without a hitch! By far one of the breeziest and most fun weddings of the summer. Who could complain when you get to work with Brightly Designed, She Wanders, and Root 75!? C & J’s wedding is in the current issue of Exquisite Weddings, but also on the Bride Suite blog today! Check out those links & the lovely photos below!

Wowza! Candice is already a stunner, but Brides by Brittany highlighted her features perfectly and really let her gorgeousness shine through on the big day!

Seriously, we have a ton of photos of everyone smiling & giggling through out the whole day, as it should be. NON-STOP BLAST!

For the ceremony decor, a mix of horseshoes with pretty patterned hearts and mason jars filled with flowers and flags that read John loves Candice/Candice loves John hung from the chairs down the aisle. Ashley & Courtney from Brightly Designed also crafted a stunning paper flower backdrop for the ceremony that fit perfectly with the theme and into Leo Carrillo!

Ummm how adorbs are the navy dresses paired with cowboy boots and statement necklaces!? Cute, quirky, and classic all at the same time!

During cocktail hour, brightly colored vases, vintage cigar boxes, & old fashioned liquor bottles adorned the tables to set the mood on the patio for “Hurley’s Pub.”

Mini glass beer boots were used for the escort card display. Guests were asked, “If you’re a pair find your boot to share. If you’re single use yours to mingle.” Too fun!

One of our favorite moments of the night was when the bridal party made their grand entrance. After everyone was announced they stopped by the bartender, who had shots waiting for them, where they all raised their glasses before going bottom’s up! Way to get the party started!

The peacocks were out in full force for the wedding- as seen above! The Brightly Designed gals repurposed C+J’s cute rsvp postcards and strung them with ribbon and hearts to make a killer sweetheart table backdrop for the couple. Gathered vintage items were used as table number holders which were an eclectic mix of wooden numbers and paper printed numbers.

In lieu of a traditional wedding cake, the couple and their guests got their sweet fix with a bundt wedding cake from Nothing Bundt Cakes and donuts from VG Bakery. Mmmm! Our kind of desserts!

The guests had a blast drinking & dancing into the night! Congratulations & thanks again to Candice & John for letting us be a part of your special day. HUGE thank-you to two other love birds, Suzanne & Mike from Shewanders for capturing every detail so perfectly, being so fun to work with, and sharing these lovely images!

Snapshot Love: Kelsey & Stephen

Beau & Arrow Events — Fri, 19 Apr 2013 11:00:34 +0000

The best way to describe today’s snapshot love couple is pretty freaking adorable! We are sure you will agree when you take a glimpse at the stunning photos captured below. Kelsey and Stephen met and fell in love while in collage and have been inseparable ever since. There are some couples who seem to light up around each other and just make it all look easy, as you can see these two are one of those couples. Not only are Kelsey & Stephen super amazing but they got to spend the day being captured by another pretty rad couple, Chadwick & Jenika of Studio Castillero. We are seriously counting down the days not only until this amazing wedding, but to get to hang out with these talented photographers!

Snapshot Love: Abey & Matt

Beau & Arrow Events — Thu, 04 Apr 2013 15:53:33 +0000

Our jaws dropped when we saw these gorgeous photos in our inbox last week. We immediately asked our sweet bride Abey if we could share these stunners on our lil ol’ blog. So glad she was more than happy to have us post her & Matt’s dreamy engagements shot by her best friend, the fabulous Tara McMullen. We’re so excited to have Tara also capturing Abey & Matt’s big day! Now check out all of the romantic goodness below….

Pretty much exactly what you hope & dream your engagements will turn out looking like, right!? Doesn’t hurt if you’re also gorgeous like these two! Abey always looks flawless, but there’s a great story behind why she looks extra radiant. She didn’t think Tara was going to make it to her bridal shower last week being that Abey lives in LA and Tara in Canada. Tara being the awesome pal she is surprised her at the shower and then hired the glam pro- Amy Clarke to doll her up for this impromptu session. Matt was in on it of course! Just amazing. Head over to Tara’s blog to see more pics & to hear the story told much better!

Is your curiosity piqued and you’re just dying to know what’s in store for their Ace Palm Springs nuptials? Well, head on over to check out what we’ve been pinning down for them!
