Welcome to round two of our TEAM Spotlight series (see Kita’s here!), showcasing our Primary Stylists who, if you don’t already know them, you’ll love as much as we do! As one of TEAM’s Primary Stylists, Marla is also our Makeup Educator. And for good reason. She knows makeup. Better yet, Marla’s finely skilled artistry masterfully tunes into each bride’s and model’s unique natural beauty. The results are nothing short of transformative and beautifully inspiring. Today Marla shares her favorite on-site wedding location and her go-to when she’s not working…

What do you like best about the age you are now?

At 25, I like that I am young but old enough that people take me more seriously.

What advice do you wish you could give your 13 year old self?

Stay true to your passions and interests even when people in your life try to steer you away. Listen to your heart.

What is the most exciting thing about your work industry?

Being able to travel to new and beautiful places. As well as getting to meet new people and share their most special day with them.

Your favorite on-site wedding location is…

Malibu Rocky Oaks

When you’re not working, you love to do…the most.

Go on adventures with my husband and daughter.

Go-to song/TV show/movie…

I don’t have just one song, show, or movie that is my go-to. I love all forms and kinds. One of my favorite things to do is watch YouTube. Here I can watch all my favorite shows, listen to music, and learn all kinds of new things. Youtube Is my go-to because there is a vast array of content and I can access it on my own time.

If you could work on any wedding anywhere in the world, what would it be?

This is such a hard question because there are so many places in the world I would love to visit. If I were to come up with a top 3 (in no particular order) it would be: France, Japan, England. These are 3 countries I haven’t been to that are on my bucket list.

Thanks, Marla!

A Colorful Floral Infused California Wedding

By Catherine M|2017-08-29T23:33:24-06:00August 29th, 2017|Featured, Real Wedding|

From a ceremonial color palette of blush and pops of pastel to a celebratory reception drenched in bright vibrant colors with lush greenery and gold, this Belmond El Encanto wedding gushed breathtaking romance. Beyond swoon-worthy florals and event design by Camellia Floral Design and Danae Grace Events, respectively, made this gala one for the books.

More from the bride on the nuptials, as photographed by Michelle Beller and featured on Style Me Pretty…

I relished in making every detail memorable – for us and our friends and family. When I first sat down with Danae Pearce, with Danae Grace Events, my wedding planner, she instantly understood my style and dream design. We really wanted to create something that complimented the El Encanto and its gorgeous ceremony site, including a wisteria-lined lily pond and brick courtyard. Our inspiration became “a timeless, elegant, romantic affair with breathtaking details” full of florals and pops of color…

… Danae was able to capture our inspiration in every fashion. On the day of the wedding, as my dad and I approached the bridge covered with rose petals built over the pond to serve as our aisle, I looked into Itai’s eyes and my heart was full. A bridge covered with rose petals was built over the pond and served as our aisle. The sun shone; it was 75 degrees; gorgeous flowers in shades of blush and pink surrounded us in all directions; and we could feel the love and support as we said our vows in front of those who mean the most to us.

Absolutely stunning.
