Congratulations Jackie and Wayne!

Oh my gosh, we still haven't come down from the high that was Jackie and Wayne's wedding this past weekend! Talk about an affair to remember! This amazing couple decided to make it official and tie the knot after 10 whole years together. They were married on Saturday at the breathtaking Rancho del Cielo in Malibu. Although the weather has been slightly uncooperative in the past few months, on Saturday it couldn't have been more perfect. It was in the 80s with a slight breeze and spectacular, unobstructed views of the ocean from everywhere you looked. We began working with Jackie about 9 months ago because her 30-hour shifts as a Resident at a local hospital didn't allow her much time for wedding planning. Early on we decided on a blue color palatte, using different shades of blue to compliment the shades of the sea and sky. We paired it with a bit of merigold, which was also a prominent color at the venue. The owner of the estate told me that when she first arrived in California she saw the blue and yellow license plates and immediately associated those colors with California lifestyle. So they became the official colors of Rancho del Cielo and of Jackie and Wayne's wedding. We added more "pop" to the tables with colorful candies and Malibu postcards for guests to take home as favors. The invitations, escort cards and table names were custom designed by us through our sister site My Little Wish using Jackie's favorite animal - the dolphin - as inspiration. Jackie then personally wrote a message on each favor tag and chose a special love-themed quote to write on the back of each escort card. How thoughtful is she?! The wedding ceremony was absolutely perfect with ocean views all around and the blissful quiet that comes with being way up in the clouds. The ceremony was followed by a lovely cocktail hour with "Blue Dolphins" and "Golden Boys" as signature cocktails. Finally, guests were treated to Italian-style dinner with a manned Pasta Station (the chef created pastas using each guest's favorite toppings), as well as chicken, roasted potatoes, roasted veggies, and so much more. Dinner was followed by dancing under the stars and two beautiful candle-lit lounges by fireplaces. The day couldn't have been more perfect and we are honored to have been able to bring it together for such a special couple. Jackie and Wayne are truly one-of-a-kind and it has been SUCH a pleasure!! Congratulations you two!
