It's an eco story worth telling


Dan and Daniela got married on Sunday, April 5, 2009. 245 guests in a modern villa on Malbu's gorgeous beach, bright blue and burned orange colors with haute green centerpieces and the blue ocean as back drop... The year long process of planning this wedding was adventurous and fun with a journey through pie land and eco friendly flower creations. The joyful path showed in the results - lots of my love got into it. Jaime, the father of the bride was so sweet to include me in his gratitude speech, which was balm for my heart while my feet hurt like hell: we it pulled off to make their guests who were mingling on four different areas: the koi pond yard, the house, the ocean facing deck and the beach, feel like one great party.



The mashed potato Martini bar was a great hit - I had to snag a glass and disappear for three minutes, I love potatoes in all forms and recipes. Dan and Daniela served sustainable fish and gourmet vegetarian dishes - all organic. The musicians were as unique as the decor: Kugelplex played rocky Klezmer, friends performed with chansons and live piano, the DJ's rocked between rap and disco. The only glitch in their organic heaven, was the (delivered) vege - pizza feast at 1:00 a.m.

Our idea to integrate Farolitos worked out amazing, the light is soft, romantic and we figured that having to recycle the little bags is better than boosting electro lighting.

If you like eco don't miss the professional pictures of their story, where "wholesome" became the classy chic of tomorrow. David, Dan's best friend, started his speech with: "Don't worry Dan, I wrote this on recycled paper..." Greg Slick, who came back from a shoot in the Middle East to capture his friends wedding, promised to have his photos ready real soon.

One of Greg's images from his flickr site and coincidentally the inspiration for Daniela's orange accents in her light blue and succulent's green color scheme.
