New Estate: Villa de la Guerra

Kelly
May 27

Last week I had the privilege of touring the newly renovated Villa de la Guerra. A historic estate, it feels like a miniature version of the Getty Villa and its proximity to the Mission can’t be beat.

Since its a historic property the owners would love to host rehearsal dinners and a handful of weddings a year.

The backyard features a beautiful pool and the surrounding lawn could accommodate up to 125 guests.The outdoor patio would make a lovely setting for a rehearsal dinner (one long table would be fun) or as the backdrop for a ceremony.

The indoor courtyard may be used for cocktail hour, though the rest of the house is off limits.

Guests could enter through the back gate, which would be a nice option if the ceremony was at the Mission (its literally across the street).

Some notes:

  • Smoking is strictly prohibited on property.
  • Bathrooms, catering kitchen and all rentals would need to be brought in.
  • Additional lighting would need to be brought in.
  • There is ample street parking, but valet is highly recommended.
  • Candles are allowed in glass.
  • Music must be off at 10pm.
  • All trash needs to removed from the property at the end of the night.

Inspiration Board #16: Aqua, Pink, & a dash of Yellow

Kelly
March 30

I’m been very much in need of color lately, and I when I found this colorful star burst photo (second row, center) by Karen Wise, I just had to do an inspiration board based on it. I picture all the bridesmaids wearing whichever color they prefer in that palette, deep pink peonies, and lots of sweets.

Inspiration Board #15: Yellow & White Wedding

Kelly
March 23

I’ve had quite the yellow obsession lately and with the official start of spring it seemed appropriate to do an board inspired by the yellow wallet photo (second row, second picture) taken by Trine Thorsen. I picture this wedding taking place at an adorable bed and breakfast with the scent of lemon and roses in the air.
