Congratulations Brianna and Charlie!

In case there was ever a question of why we're obsessed with the Los Angeles Athletic Club, we'll let the photos below do the explaining.

Brianna and Charlie were one of the nicest, sweetest, most creative and organized couples we've ever had the joy of working with! They both live in Boston but wanted an LA wedding. Brianna is originally from Orange County and Charlie knew this would be a destination wedding for his side no matter what coast they had it on (because he and his family are South African and a few were also coming from New Zealand). So he was happy to oblige with the LA idea. And if you're going to invite your friends and family to travel from all over the world to celebrate SUCH a special occasion, why not do it in grand style? So they did! They selected Los Angeles Athletic Club in Downtown LA as their venue and had a roaring 20's affair. This venue was perfect because it has been a staple in Downtown since the real roaring 20s and there is a special access hall to what used to be a real speakeasy back in the days of prohibition. The staff there is also the best and they're always such a pleasure to work with! Charlie is a graphic designer so obviously color scheme and style played an important role and our design meetings were always such a blast! We loved every moment of helping to design the table linens, centerpieces, and vintage decor elements throughout. We were so pleased to pair them with The New Recessionaires, a swinging 20s band that's about as authentic as you can find. Rosebud Floral did an incredible job (as always) with their vintage-inspired centerpieces and Lee from Hey Mr. DJ kept the dancefloor packed at the Reception. Brianna and Charlie added their own special touches by asking their guests to sign a vintage map as their guest book and they had a blast choosing signature cocktails from the era. Of course, Charlie also designed their fantastic Save the Dates and Invitations. I can't tell you how much we enjoyed Brianna and Charlie and how happy we are that they found each other from opposite sides of the world and then found us from opposite sides of the country. Guess some things are just meant to be :)

By the way, we are VERY proud preferred vendors at The LA Athletic Club.

Thank you SO much to B&G Photography for capturing this day so perfectly! Your work is incredible!
