Newmark Models Dinner Party

When we saw the backyard of this home for the first time, we instantly knew we had to feature the stunning view to celebrate the birthday girl Jules Newmark. All of the girls from Newmark Models wanted to throw an epic surprise birthday dinner for Jules and they nailed the surprise!

We designed a long table perfectly situated next to the infinity pool with a boho modern chic aesthetic using lots of layers, clean lines and fun elements like the metal chopsticks we surprised them with since we knew they were having noodles for dinner! We incorporated a lot of Jules' favorite things like natural elements, crystals, a neutral palate and she had the most unreal specialty cocktails and a custom cake that was to die for! Creating the right vibe was so important so candles everywhere was a must.

Most importantly, we had a custom designed birthday sign made for the perfect photo op moment and a big wow factor when everyone first walked outside.

How to Plan Your Perfect Laguna Beach Wedding Weekend

Laguna Beach has it all: sand, sun, and stunning backdrops. With all that Southern California has to offer, we are seeing couples go from one-day weddings to full-on wedding weekends to celebrate the occasion and give guests more time to enjoy the location. 

Thinking about hosting your nuptials in Laguna Beach? Here is our guide to organizing your wedding weekend itinerary for a celebration your guests won’t forget:

Day One: Wedding Welcome Party

Whether it's a large-scale wedding or you just have a decent amount of guests coming in from out of town, a welcome party is the perfect, laid-back way to get your guests excited and interact with them before the big day.  Take advantage of the great weather and showcase Laguna beach first hand with an opulent beach picnic with stunning views of the ocean.

Day Two: Wedding Ceremony & Reception

Day two of your wedding weekend is likely going to consist of your formal ceremony and reception. Needless to say, if you’re going to be saying “I do” in Laguna, you’ll want to find a venue that has it all, like The Ranch at Laguna Beach with indoor-outdoor spaces that tie together both elegance and nature for a one-of-a kind wedding ceremony and reception.

Day Three: Farewell Brunch

Your wedding day itself can be pretty hectic, and you may not have had time to properly thank and say goodbye to all of your guests. Hosting an elevated backyard farewell brunch the day after your wedding is the perfect way to express your gratitude before guests depart and before you jet off to your honeymoon!

Branding At Events

A brand message is so important at events and it’s equally as important for your guests to not only hear the message but interact with it in a full branded experience. There are so many new innovative ways for guests to experience a brand and we love being a part of today’s branded experiences!

Here are some of our favorite ways to create a branded event experience.

Custom Items

Everything can be customized these days and we think you should definitely take advantage of that. From something as simple as napkins and stir sticks, to pillows and furniture, there’s an endless amount of ideas to create custom items that will add that extra amount of branding to your event.

Photo Ops

Social media exposure is EVERYTING and we want to make sure your brand gets in as many guest images as possible.  Your guests become your advertisers, be sure to give them something good to advertise! And don’t forget the lighting, they need to be quality images that guests want to post on their socials.

Food

Everyone loves a snack…so why not add your brand to it! From custom food packaging to branded edible toppings, there are so many ways to get your brand into the hands (& mouths) of your guests.

Signage

Are you tired of a boring logo on a piece of paper…us too! Step up your signage game with one of our favorites, decals! We love how they can be added to walls or even floors for a great shoe photo op! Imaging an entire wall covered in your brand instead the standard step & repeat…so much more creative and photo-op worthy! If you have to use paper, try to blend your signage into the event using floral and décor elements to create an entire look and feel.

If you start to feel overwhelmed by all the different branded item options, then it may be the perfect time to hire an event planner! A professional event planner can help you allocate the right amount of funds to each custom piece and make sure that your money is best used.

We’d love to be a part of your next event!
