| Say hello to Ally & Jon….their beautiful wedding was sent over to me by my beautiful friend Leila of Inspired By This…..I adore Leila and I’m so happy to share Ally & Jon’s wedding story with you….let’s check out all the magic captured by mi belle…….. and event coordinators, Kathy and Susan of Bella Weddings & Events did an AMAZING job as ALWAYS….Enjoy!! |
 |
| And here is a little info from Susan White of Bella Weddings and Events ……’We started working with Ally and her mom Ginger almost a year and a half before Ally & Jon’s wedding. Ally’s vision for her wedding was a classic clean look with a little bit of a vintage/garden theme while keeping it California beachy as well. They chose the Bel-Air Bay Club for the ceremony and reception, partly for it’s proximately to the coastline, but mostly because Ally’s family were long time members of the club and they celebrated many family events in the historic Spanish style venue.’ |

‘Ally & Jon loved the idea of their wedding morning bike ride, so they incorporated a bicycle image onto the Save-the- Date and Post-Wedding Brunch invitation. One day, Ally’s mom happened to be dropping off some items at a local thrift store when she spotted a gorgeous vintage silver bike in perfect condition. We set-up the bike at the entrance to the club and the florist made an arrangement for the basket. It was a perfect way to tie the bike theme into the wedding day!’

| ‘Many of the wedding guests were travelling from out of town, so an entire weekend of activities were planned including a beach side Rehearsal Dinner, a bike ride and brunch for the Wedding Party on the morning of the wedding, and a Post-Wedding Brunch.
Ally & Jon and their families went out of their way to make everyone feel welcome and they created a Welcome Bag with lots of fun personal touches including an ‘In-N-Out’ hat, sunscreen, vintage Santa Monica postcards, and a detailed schedule of events. The bags were stamped with an image of the Santa Monica Pier that Ally carved herself.’ |

| ‘The grand finale to the evening was a festive sparkler send-off with Ally & Jon running through a tunnel of their family and friends before hopping into a classic 1973 Rolls Royce convertible and heading down the coastline.’ |
