Rebecca + Tom | Paso Robles

Earlier this year I went to an engagement party that blessed me and left me wanting more of Jesus. Let me explain. It was a night filled with amazing God fearing friends who gathered to pray and encourage the newly engaged Rebecca Redig and Tom Nearing. The room was full of the spirit of Christ as people prayed over the couple. I remembered thinking about the passage in scripture when Jesus tells Mary she has chosen “the better portion,” to sit at His feet in the midst of a busy day. Wedding planning is extremely busy and can get very challenging. I had never gone to an engagement party and had the focus of the night be to sit at Jesus’ feet and talk to Him. I was so blessed to be a part of Rebecca and Tom’s engagement prayer night so much so, that I hope I can pass on this awesome idea when I get engaged, some day! 

I can go on and on about Rebecca and Tom because they are just the most encouraging friends. I love them to pieces and I am blessed by their love for the Lord.
Day of details:
The wedding was at Rebecca’s family ranch were she grew up in Paso Robles, California. Leading up to the wedding friends and family as well as Rebecca and Tom worked on getting the place ready for the big day. Ziza and Seth from Two Be Events helped coordinate and design the back yard. The pomegranate and pistachio trees added great textures to our floral deigns. The environment felt like an old small town family reunion. The food and dessert was all home cooked. I absolutely adored this wedding and I hope you guys do too. Enjoy this post!

Joelle + Phil | Hollywood, Ca

From B:
I think we fell in love with absolutely every aspect of this wedding and more.  We had the pleasure of working side by side with husband-wife duo, Ziza and Seth Bauer, who planned and coordinated the whole day. They transformed an empty Downtown LA shell into a stunning and romantic old glamour-inspired venue. From the twinkling lights above to the shimmering gold fabric below, everything came together so beautifully. We went with a very simple floral design, using recycled wine and beer bottles as the bases.

There was so much love in that room that night, you could feel it thick in the air. Great friends, delicious appetizers and wine, Godly community, and a dance floor that was on fire; What more do you need?

From Di:
We met Joelle and Phil about two years ago at our church Reality LA. They were the leaders of the Long Beach community group, when earlier this year God called them to move out to Los Angeles. B and I have been encouraged by their sacrifice and faithful service to the Lord and His church. So in late August we had the opportunity to witness Christ uniting these two together. Along with To Be Events, Ziza and Seth Bauer we transformed a film studio warehouse in the Arts District of Los Angeles into a stunning old hollywod event. It was such a blessing to see these two marry in front of family and friends that just have so much love for them! Congrats you two!!

We actually attended this wedding! Here's us during clean up, after we got down and pretty much stole the dance floor (okay maybe not, but we had a blast).
Love,

We've been deprived...

of orange filled trees, temperatures that drop below 75, and knitwear (although that doesn't stop me from buying it and wearing it in hot weather!).

I thought I'd give you all a pinch of fall in light of the first day of November.. NOVEMBER people! When did that happen?!

Hoping to try this recipe out soon!


Now that I've made all the So Cal'ers a bit more envious...

ta ta,
B
