Ceremony at St. Matthews Church/ Long Beach
Reception at the Museum of Latin American Art/ Long Beach

Teresa's colors were chocolate brown and sunset orange.  Kerim, from My Wedding Blooms, created a gorgeous floral arrangement
for Teresa and her bridesmaids in the sunset colors.  We then added a brilliant rhinestone pin with her initial to the bridal bouquet.  In
the reception room at MOLAA, we arranged magnificent sunset orange and cream tables and chairs with breathtaking centerpieces
created by Kerim.
The Museum of Latin American Art (MOLAA) was a superb venue for a reception.  They have a large courtyard in the back of the
building that is perfect for an elegant cocktail hour, already wired for music. The reception hall inside the museum is a very spacious
room with a stage area and plenty of room for a dance floor.  They also have a gift shop and café on the premises where the guests can
visit when they arrive prior to the commencement of the cocktail hour. I absolutely loved working on this wedding. Teresa and Ray
became such good friends that I was upset when the wedding and the one year of planning was over. Teresa was the complete
opposite of a Bridezilla. She was a joy to work with and the sweetest person in the world and Ray was a wonderful, funny and laid
back person. They were a fantastic couple and I miss them. Last but not least: Teresa was a breathtaking bride!
