Elyse + Phil

Posted on April 26, 2012 by Paula Rae

Photography: Studio Z Venue: Grand Pacific Palisades Such a cheerful color palette of raspberry and candy pink with lemon yellow truly suited the happy personality of Elyse and Phil, their family, and their wedding! We were doubly honored to design for Elyse, since we designed her sister and Maid of Honor, Laura’s wedding just a couple years ago!
