Andres and Andreas’ Wedding Reception
Andrea and Andres’ wedding reception was held at a private estate in the hills near the church where they held their ceremony. While the bridal entourage took pictures in the expansive backyard overlooking the beautiful California skyline, guests mingled at the front of the estate, entertained by live mariachi music and light cocktails. The wedding, from ceremony to reception, had an old-world feel that came across beautifully in the décor, food, style, and venue.
The backyard was transformed for the Muller wedding (with the family even re-landscaping part of it for the lounge), featuring a polished wood dance floor with floating pink lanterns, a lounge at the fringe of the party, and several family-style tables adorned with flowers and food. The small orange trees that peppered the dance floor, combined with the blooms floating in the permanent garden fountain, helped create a perfect setting for the laid-back, family wedding.
The white guest tables were draped with blue-green burlaps and lined with bunches of spring blossoms such as roses, ranunculus, parrot tulips, garden roses, and other similar blooms atop hunks of driftwood. Blooms were also found in mason jars that had been painted in a chic, vintage style (with a pale blue drip around the rim of each jar). Escort cards, table numbers, and menus all matched in style and color, and coordinated beautifully with the other stationary that led up to the event: programs and invitations.
The focus of the wedding was definitely the dance floor – it was full of guests throughout the duration of the evening – though most people did find time to make trips to the bar (where margaritas and wine dominated the menu) and to eat the delicious dinner prepared by famous Orange County food truck, Barcelona on the Go. Guests also indulged in one of the event’s several cakes, featuring flavors such as succulent chocolate, tiramisu, and red velvet.
The reception space was filled with color throughout the entire evening. Pinks, oranges, whites, yellows, and greens faded to a warm glow as the lanterns became the primary focus of the evening. It looked as if this backyard was meant to host Andres and Andreas’ reception!

Andres and Andrea’s Wedding Ceremony!
Andres and Andrea could not have asked for a grander or more beautiful venue for their wedding vows, as the St. Margaret Mary Alacoque Catholic Church provided a stunning backdrop for the couple’s personal and emotional ceremony. Draped in rich browns, deep purples, and ethereal whites, the colorful complexity of the church was ideal for the simple décor: white bunches of baby’s breath tied with silky pink ribbons on the ends of each of the pews.
The use of beautiful spring blooms throughout the rest of the ceremony, highlighted in the attendants flower crowns and the bride’s colorful bouquet, was very suited to the season. By integrating berries and greenery into her bouquet and the boutonnieres of the groom and groomsmen, the bride gave guests the impression that she had just picked and arranged the flowers herself.
The bride was stunning and gorgeous as she approached her future husband with her father to a soft, sung rendition of “Pie Jesu.” The guests had been treated to equally powerful and beautiful organ music as they filed in to the pews before the ceremony, and the musical mood was maintained through the recessional. The delicate white fabric of Andrea’s dress bunched at the hip and wrapped daintily to the side, begging the same whimsical feeling as the blooms dapped delicately throughout the pews and halls of the church.
The bilingual (English/Spanish) ceremony itself was steeped in an abundance love and genuine familial affection, and was led by an officiant with whom both the bride and groom had a deep personal relationship that had been forged during their time in college. The full Catholic mass was glued together with lessons of love and gratitude, and a special tribute to the parents of the couple. The ceremony concluded with a unity candle lighting and communion taken by both the couple and their guests.
Guests waved Andres and Andrea off as they boarded a beautifully decorated classic car and rode off into the hills for the reception.

Your Wedding and Facebook
With the prevalence of social media comes some uncharted etiquette territory. Facebook is a useful but dangerous tool when it comes to the details of your big day – from engagement to honeymoon. Keep the following tips in mind while you navigate your social network in the weeks and months leading up to your nuptials:
Keep Your Shirt On!
(Figuratively, that is) The advancement of wedding details (and the initial engagement) could get any girl all flustered, but that doesn’t mean that you should leap to your computer desk and update the world the second it happens (you’ll probably want to tell your family first when you get engaged, yeah?). Your wedding details are important to you and a small group of close friends and family, and your social reach is probably quite a bit broader online. Complications will arise regarding people who aren’t invited, or worse, people who assume they’re invited, when you update your entire social sphere to the goings on of your wedding (especially for 6+ months). Plus, you want guests to be excited and surprised when they finally see the details of your wedding – don’t go spoiling the fun by posting all of your secrets early! Be Careful with Whom You Chat Again, releasing wedding details to anyone on Facebook might send the wrong impression. Unless you’re planning on inviting everyone on your friends list (unlikely, yeah?), try to keep the wedding talk to a minimum online. If someone does ask about wedding details, it’s important not to give them the wrong impression by gushing and sending them dozens of links to wedding dress designers and neighborhood bakeries. If they aren’t going to be invited to the big event, keep the details short and sweet, and address any miscommunications as soon as you can (privately!).
When Things go Wrong Every bride will eventually encounter a wall post from a second cousin or long-forgotten sorority sister who will ask about their “lost” or “guaranteed” invitation. It may be as innocuous as a “Hey! I better be invited, girl! ;)” or as serious as “I believe my invite may have gotten lost in the mail, please send a
replacement,” but both should be addressed with poise immediately. Don’t comment on their wall posting, but instead shoot them an email or give them a call. Make sure you explain that you weren’t able to invite everyone you wanted to, and set up a date for coffee after the honeymoon. Don’t let lingering comments lead to an unexpected guest at the event, or animosity within a family – yes, it’s rude to ask about an invitation online, but it’s not worth starting a public row over.
