This third party was located at Bridges Rancho Santa Fe. I love the Italian architecture and agriculture that surrounds the property. It feels like a true escape into the hills of Tuscany! What an honor to photograph this week-long birthday celebration with Michele Woodcock and her incredible team at Before I Do Events. They are simply amazing and brought each beautiful detail together. Isari Flower Studio is to thank for the gorgeous floral designs and Posh Paperie who made all the custom paper including menus, name cards, welcome baskets, drink labels, stationery, just to name a few. One of my favorite details of this party were the custom wine labels with the gentleman’s face that was being celebrated. It said, “MISSING! Last seen…” Posh did a great job creating the many tailored pieces to fit this event and make it nothing less than exquisite.

The Bridges at Rancho Santa Fe is simply stunning. For the grand scale of this property and the residential community nearby, Bridges does an incredible job at making you feel right at home and hours from civilization. Upon walking through the lobby, you are greeted with a jazz pianist and members drinking wine throughout the dining room. The private room upstairs is where you can find the best views of the golf course as the sun sets over the rolling green hills.

Enjoy the third of four blog installations as I share this incredible week-long event!
