Chic, Orange and Teal Bash!
This isn’t the typical SMP wedding. It’s a little bit of a departure from our normal style but there is something so fabulous about this affair, I just couldn’t help myself! Designed by the RIDICULOUSLY talented team at Your BASH!, this wedding is cool, sophisticated and utterly chic.

From the beautiful bride…
After nearly 15 years to the day of on-again, off-again dating through college and graduate school, through living in separate countries, to living in New York, Anthony and I decided to make the move back to his hometown of Beverly Hills, California. After a romantic getaway to Big Sur in December 2008, Anthony proposed and we were swept into a whirlwind of plans. We had to work around some family members’ travel schedules, so the only month that would work in 2009 was July. We had our hearts set on Greystone Mansion in Beverly Hills, and July 5th was the only date available. As it turned out, the day after a major national holiday was quite possibly the perfect time for all of our loved ones to get away, and make a mini-vacation out of their trip to La-La-Land.
I knew from the start that I needed event planners that were “cool” and that understood my style. I’m not one for lace, pearls or pastels and my now-husband and his Italian family take every opportunity to celebrate with flair. One of my goals for the wedding day was to remain calm and easy-going. Instead of tears – both of joy and anxiety – I wanted to be laughing. In my first meeting with Brian Worley, I knew he and his partner Jaime Geffen of YourBASH! would be the ones I could trust to take a few of my ideas and run wild, all the while keeping my nerves at bay, and all of our spirits light and lifted.
More coming up in just a bit!
