Monday, November 7th, 2011A Fresh Gray and Yellow Wedding ~ A Good Affair Event Design
Saturday, October 29th, 2011Gray and yellow was quite the popular color scheme. It’s chic and modern, yet fun and light! Perfect for any wedding day!
Check out a few other gray & yellow weddings we worked on! Whitney and Chris at the Ritz-Carlton in Laguna Niguel, and Julie and Mike at the Oak Canyon Nature Preserve in Anaheim.
But here is a beautiful and simple gray and yellow wedding fully designed and executed by yours truly, A Good Affair! Thanks to Kenny Grill Photography for taking the time to come out and capture these wonderful details for us!
We designed a combination of high and low centerpieces, spread throughout the room. We accented the king’s table with both heights and a mix of candles to give it extra interest. Cut lemons lined the short centerpieces, while whole lemons filled the tall.
Beautiful blooms of yellow and white orchids adorned the curly willow branches. The curling branches giving the relatively static piece a more organic feel and natural movement.
We choose to go with white chivari chairs and cushions to give the satin gray linens and canary yellow napkins a nice contrast. The white chairs were a nice clean and crisp statement in and of itself as well!
The bride is a teacher so she included these adorable signs and mini chalkboards as her table numbers.
We came up with this fun way to setup escort cards. Run various ribbons across an empty picture frame and attach the cards using tiny clothespins!
The reception space had a small stage, so we setup the cake and the candy buffet there as a nice focal point. In keeping with the gray and yellow, we did the same for the candy. Gray candy is hard to find without it being M&Ms or metallic. But we did good on this one! The bride loved it and got all her favorite candies in! The wooden crates really tied together well with the table signs, and were still a nice clean look.
Hand fluffed tissue pompoms hung as a full backdrop behind the candy station. A real treat to also have had a mirror behind it too! It added nice depth to the entire setup. We love the touch of whimsy these pompoms add! It looks much like the white and yellow mums used in the low centerpieces.
A matching cake by Simply Sweet Cakery. Simple and clean lines with gray ribbon, fresh flowers, and fresh cut lemons. Adorable!
We had a blast coming up with these ideas and then seeing them come to life for the big day! We hope you enjoyed this journey into A Good Affair’s event design! Let us know if we can help you plan your next big event! We love taking on new ideas and challenges!

Kate & James ~ The Summit House, Fullerton ~ Capturing Moments Photography
Thursday, October 20th, 2011What can we say about Kate & James? They were such an amazing couple to work with. And Kate’s mom… we fell in love with!! Being a part of this wedding was such a wonderful experience – we’re so happy to have been able to have developed such a close relationship with them that when the big day finally came… we felt like a part of the family, happy and sad, excited and anxious! What were we supposed to do now that all our time together was coming to an end?? Keep in touch of course! 
We had the pleasure of being the liaison for them since they were planning the whole affair from out-of-state! Destination weddings can be tricky… but we make sure to take away all that stress and make the planning fun and easy!
The beautiful church for the ceremony was St. Norbert’s in Orange, followed by a lovely reception at the Summit House in Fullerton. We were excited to be such an integral part of their wedding doing their full planning and design!
She was a beautiful bride… with such beautiful eyes! (Yes – corny, we know)
LOVE these blue shoes! (They were flats too! Total comfort!)
Amazing floral bouquet by Lavenders Flowers!
Gorgeous detailed cake by Simply Sweet Cakery.
Thanks to all the vendors that made this event that was near and dear to our hearts so amazing and special!!

Julie & Mike ~ Oak Canyon Nature Preserve, Anaheim ~ Yantz Photography
Sunday, October 2nd, 2011And we’re back with the amazing photography by Yantz Photography of Julie & Mike’s wedding day! And in the time we’ve been working on getting this spectacular post out to you… we also found out that Julie’s amazing dress by Modern Trousseau was featured on their blog! Be sure to check that out!
Julie & Mike’s wedding took on a natural vintage/rustic feel with grays and yellows, accented with DIY details…
If you’re thinking of other gray and yellow ideas, be sure to check out our design post from another featured wedding!
We loved creating this bouquet with the vintage brooch detail and the jute wrapped around. The white dahlias, scabiosa pods and billy balls made this a fun and rustic bouquet… perfect for the ceremony setting!
A beautiful shot of the happy bride! All wedding moments should be like this…
Gorgeous girls in gray. Gotta love that pop of the yellow!
Oh, the guys. Check out those gray and yellow argyle socks!
An adorable detail for guests to pick up after signing the guest book… Little tissue packets.
The Oak Canyon Nature Preserve in Anaheim… a gorgeous setting for this intimate ceremony.
A cute (and tasty) way to escort your guests to their seats… numbered cookies with a name tag attached! Check out that cool lantern too!!
Can’t do vintage without some mason jars! Love the floating candles in them.
In lieu of a full wedding cake, they decided on a sweets station with cupcakes and an assortment of candies! Love certainly is sweet… the cutest thing is the miniature bride and groom toppers on the top cupcake!
And of course, gotta have some photobooth time!! How adorable the happy couple is! Here’s to many many years of love and happiness!
Without an amazing team of vendors, this day could not have been as wonderful and flawless as it was!

Harmony & Kyle ~ O’Malley’s, Seal Beach, Capturing Moments Photography
Thursday, September 29th, 2011Can we just say how much we loved creating this wedding with the wonderful bride and groom? Harmony and Kyle hosted their wedding and reception for an intimate group of friends and family at their favorite watering hole, O’Malley’s in Seal Beach! Planning, coordinating, and designing a wedding in a pub was definitely a first for us… and we’re keeping our fingers-crossed that it won’t be the last!!
Thanks to Jaimee of Capturing Moments for this special day for Harmony and Kyle! Be sure to check out their awesome engagement pics too!
The bride, Harmony, LOVES the color orange. We had to include it in the bouquet, boutonnieres, and centerpieces.
We wanted to make sure to keep the feel of the floral pieces in line with the feel of the old wood and pub-environment, so we built our centerpieces in crates rather than glass vases or anything too modern.
Love this shot of the happy couple by Capturing Moments!
Love this shot! Check out that “H” and “K” we had covered with moss in the background! Check these out closeup on their sneak peek post! Wedding cake and Guinness groom’s cake by Simply Sweet Cakery.Custom made tags for the mini burlap bags to fill with candy! This motif was used on their invitations created by Darla Marie Designs.
“Love is Sweet”… another handmade detail by A Good Affair!
Hand piped Irish claddagh…
Hand scultped Guinness cake. Both amazing cakes again by Simply Sweet Cakery!
The happy couple!
Cheers to a happy couple!!!! Congrats Harmony and Kyle! We wish you all the best!
Thanks to all the great vendors for putting together a fun-filled night!

Natalie & Phil ~ Surf & Sand Resort Wedding, Capturing Moments Photography
Monday, September 12th, 2011What better wedding location than on an open terrace over looking the water? Surf & Sand Resort in Laguna Beach was the perfect location for Natalie and Phil – a gorgeous couple – and their classy beachside wedding! Thanks Jaimee of Capturing Moments for capturing all these spectacular shots! Be sure to check out their engagement shoot with Jaimee too!
An amazing day for a ceremony looking over the ocean! Florals by Bliss Fine Floral were perfect for the bride’s wish of rich purples and whites. These tall aisle pieces suited the ceremony site perfectly!
Look at the gorgeous sky!
The lovely ladies…
and the handsome guys.
LOVE this shot! Check out those shoes!
The deep purple was carried on into the reception room in the florals as well as in the uplights! Great job Honored Occasions for transforming the already beautiful ballroom into a whole other world!
The table tent cards made by Invitation Design Studio were all names of beaches… how fitting! We love the cute little beach umbrella and chair motif that was carried on through the whole invitation suite!
Gorgeous shot of the cake top with the lighting!
Simply Sweet Cakery… AMAZING and delicious wedding cake and groom’s cake. (Phil’s a huge football fan, can you tell?) Don’t you just love the bobble heads of Natalie and Phil? Too cute! And check out that GORGEOUS textured linen from La Tavola. We squealed when we saw how it nearly matched the Bride’s gown!
Love this candy buffet by Candee by Sandee!! She even did the custom tags to match the invites and menus! What a sweet treat for guests to take away with them to end the evening!
We found yet another “favorite” candy… Cola Panda Bears. MUST HAVE MORE.
Thanks to the amazing team of hardworking vendors that made this wedding flawless!

Crystal & Sandy ~ Franciscan Gardens, San Juan Capistrano ~ KLK Photography
Wednesday, August 31st, 2011Crystal and Sandy were such a great couple to work with! Crystal didn’t have much of an idea as to what direction she wanted to go in decor-wise, but that doesn’t mean she wasn’t creative – quite contrary! (Check out their romantic photos below to see what this creative bride came up with!)
We absolutely love the design we came up with! Thanks Kristi of KLK Photography for capturing all these amazing details!
Franciscan Gardens in San Juan Capistrano is such a beautiful venue to design around! But for romantic photos, surrounding areas are definitely not lacking in fun and unique places to shoot either!
Didn’t we tell you that this bride has her own creative streak? LOVE these unique shots!
We loved putting together this bouquet of soft blush and white roses and beautiful white peonies. Lovely and romantic…
A shot of the king’s table. We used these amazing metal vases with plumes of baby’s breath for the tall pieces, for the shorter metal vases, they were filled with beautiful pink hydrangeas. Between these signature pieces, we filled in with adorable bud vases and an assortment of candles. Invitation Design Studio made these cute Groom and Bride signs too.
A shot of the centerpieces on the guest tables. Love the dusty miller between the pinks and whites!
A cute little favor for guests. These paper shades literally made you see hearts when you put them on!
Franciscan Gardens… gorgeous in twilight.
24 Carrots not only catered an amazing dinner buffet, but also these extraordinary display of desserts!
Congratulations to Crystal and Sandy! You are an amazing couple and we wish you every happiness in the world!
Be sure to check out the video highlights by Kroh Media to see the event in live action!
