Hi my friends, Carly here. I am here to share something that is near and dear to my heart — tipping your vendors. This is…

Shabnam called us 8 weeks before her wedding requesting CRW services for her and Toufan’s big day. Shabnam is a girlboss through and through - she’s co-owner of Soul Pancake with Rainn Wilson (who officiated their big day!) and is an incredibly sought after speaker and media mogul.

Lili + Matt, we had so much fun planning together. First off, I love the Cardondelet House and If you haven’t heard of this venue…it’s like a french villa in the middle of Korea Town.

A couple month ago Kathryn was asked, “so you guys have a lot of bridezillas?” Her response was: “Carly Rae Weddings doesn’t attract bridezillas.” This gallery is actual proof that she’s right. I feel so bad ass around Tara and Kris. Maybe it’s my ego shining through...maybe I shouldn’t feel so cool, but I do.

Here is a case study where our team just did the design for this wedding. Leo Carrillo had an on site coordinator but Mia + Pierce live in Boston and needed some feet on the ground here in California. Kat got to work designing this event with rentals and incorporating the graphics that Pierce designed.

The beautiful thing about being able to frequent Millwick is the type of client they bring to me. They are incredibly kind, creative, and laid back…a perfect cocktail for this Washington girl’s personality-type.

This wedding was so peaceful and the quintessential backyard wedding. Jenny’s family friend gifted her gorgeous San Diego property/house to have the event at and the property was perfect! When dealing with a venue that isn’t a venue normally, there are some factors that we have to determine logistical sense before we commit to selecting the venue.

Paul taught me how to poach an egg in 2010. He was over at my house where I lived with 5 other girls and naturally that’s what you do when hanging out. I’ll never forget him giving me the reasoning for adding white vinegar…whirlpool-ing the water, and then drop the egg in and turn the water down to a slow simmer.

Dina came referred by a colleague. Her and Jeff had recently purchased this property to turn into a venue. They had no previous experience in working in the industry so guess what? That’s where we came into play.

Ellen and Adam are just COOL people. Adam, a musician and Ellen, a graphic designer were such a chill couple. We had a wonderful time planning together and each turn of the event had just cool vibez. Low key, thoughtful touches on the tables, Sriracha bottles as favors with a lil’ custom graphic

Lindsay + Saman were married in Hollywood at the Lombardi House. If you don’t know about the Lombardi, you absolutely should. It’s one of the only places I have found in Southern California that makes me feel like I’m in the Hamptons.

Where to even begin with Carrie + Chad? Well, for starters, they are the kindest people there ever was. Planning their event included a lot of color but felt mature in the same breath which is a beautiful juxtaposition to design.

I think back to the first time I worked with Lauren Scotti and I believe this event was it. Lauren is the most chill photographer out there. Her work is unmatched and has a killer eye for styling. Often times when I have spent loads of energy to produce an event, I hope that the day of the photographer can be able to shoot the details in the way they deserve.

Amidst the political climate (bet you never thought I’d start a blog post about a wedding with that sentence, did you…) Let me start again.

I had a wonderful time planning this event for Orla. She’s a gorgeous red head with some mad style. We clicked with our chills vibes and love of weird everythings. I loved the take on this wedding that she brought to the Bel Air Bay Club.

In order for me to explain the details of Alli + Bobby’s wedding, I have to give you the background of Alli and I’s friendship. I met Alli in college…she was a grade higher than me and I looked up to her so much! We were in communication classes, we were both in the same improv group (years apart), and we lived together (read: she shared her bed with me for an entire summer).

I’ll never forget this event. It was back when Carly Rae Weddings first was conceived. Though I had been doing events for a couple of years prior to this…this event was CRW’s ‘big break'. I’m laughing as I type that but it’s kind of true. I had met Katie at a networking event and had become fast friends with her. She is a photographer as well as the editor of Green Wedding Shoes.
