Real Wedding: Marni & Eric
Happy Monday Guys! I am so excited about today's featured wedding...Marni & Eric. They are such a beautiful couple and two very sweet people! Their story is one of romance and it is truly reflected in their majestic wedding. Marni & Eric's beautiful wedding was captured by the amazing and talented photography of Susan Bordelon. Susan's work is truly "magazine worthy" and she tells Marni and Eric's story so beautifully through her images......Enjoy!
Our handsome couple...Marni & Eric!
I have to tell you guys the story of how Marni (a Voice Over Artist and Fitness Entrepreneur) and Eric ( Film Director and Producer) met...It was at the Sundance Film Festival in 2004. Eric's movie, "WORD WARS" premiered there and Marni snuck into a press screening that she wasn't supposed to be at...she saw the movie and loved it! As the credits rolled, she recognized Eric's name on the screen and realized he was the same person that several people had tried to "fix her up with". Marni never met Eric before the festival, but she ran into him that night...."and the rest is history"!
Marni shares their wedding vision with us: "We wanted our wedding to be elegant, fun, loving and unforgettable. We wanted it to be a different and unusual expression that was a true expression of who we are as people and artists. It was very important that it didn't feel like a "typical" wedding experience.....no ballrooms, no tuxedos and nothing stuffy. We wanted people to feel comfortable and have a good time. I wanted the look and feel to be enchanting, rustic, majestic......it was multi-sensory"!
Marni's beautiful dress was specially designed for her by Ali Rahimi...his couture shop is in Hollywood....Marni tells me that he ended up naming the design...the "Marni" dress!
WOW...LOVE THE SHOES...from Mon Atelier!
What a gorgeous bouquet of peonies, roses and stephanotis .....Flower Dec designed all the beautiful florals!
I love this black and white image of Marni....great shot Susan!
Marni is truly a beautiful bride!
The girls wore beautiful light brown silk charmeusse dresses from the Jenny Yoo Collection and the guys wore ties in the same color!
I love the bright colors of the parasols....they were also given as favors as well as beautiful shawls for the ladies.
The vibrant colors of the florals are simply stunning...such happy and fun colors!
WOW.....Simply Stunning and so Elegant!
The beautiful reception venue is the Saddle Rock Ranch in Malibu, CA and it was held in the "Garden Setting"! How beautiful with all the lighting and the chandelier is amazing!
Such an elegant cake....designed by Layers Cake Design...you can reach them at 818.784.3918.
I LOVE this photo of Marni & Eric...it has that "Hollywood Couple" feel and vibe to it and the lighting is amazing! I can tell they are having so much fun...I only wish I could have been there to hear the music!
Thanks Susan for sharing Marni & Eric's beautiful wedding with us today....and a huge thanks to Marni & Eric for having a beautiful celebration....and I'm happy to tell you guys that Marni will be back at the "cafe" soon with a wonderful feature for us...stay tune!
This is a beautiful wedding. I loved all the pictures. Just one question: are the groomsmen wearing black suits? From the pictures, it looks like the groom is in blue? I like the way it looks and just want to make sure that I got the colors right.

This is such a classic wedding! Very old hollywood with a modern twist feel. They also did a wonderful job of incorporating the theme into the wedding.
