Celebrating Love & Beauty: Alicia & Joel's Wedding

It's always a great privilege to help an industry insider celebrate that special day. The June wedding of Details Details planner, Alicia Townsend, and the love of her life, Joel, was particularly touching and wonderfully unique. The almond groves of Alicia's family farm in Bakersfield provided the perfect setting to commemorate the couple's love, while showcasing nature's beauty and Alicia's passion for style and design.

Alicia and her amazing floral and event designer, White Lilac, wove wonderful creative details into her day—some elegant, others whimsical—a breathtaking wedding altar overflowing with flowers, lovely AJ monograms decorating our serving trays, fabulous chandeliers lighting the reception, utterly charming escort card drinks.
