Lindsey and Aaron! Scripps Seaside Forum


Today I bring you pictures form a wedding we designed and styled this summer!
Lindsey and Aaron have a truly beautiful story...
They were friends in high school
 but 
Aaron always had an eye for this beautiful blonde who captivated his heart!
Many years later after they had both gone their own ways and grown up a little, 
Aaron was coming back to San Diego and set up a dinner with Lindsey...
Their romance began and so did their love story!
Scripps Seaside Forum was the perfect backdrop for 
a wedding full of bright colors just like Lindsey's personality...
Scripps Seaside Forum was the perfect backdrop for 
Sunshine yellow, hot pink, lavender, and turquoise. 
They love to travel so we designed a colorful travel theme wedding!
Bright colored globes, vintage yellow suitcases, a boat bar, lanterns, and so much more!
They were such a pleasure to work with and we wish them a 
LIFETIME 
of 
HAPPINESS, LOVE, & LAUGHTER!!!!
xoxo AE

Pink Lagoon... A Wardrobe Design & Styling Boutique

~ PINK LAGOON ~

Yesterday I had the honor of designing flowers for a private event at Pink Lagoon in Solana Beach! 
Turning onto Cedros Ave. always puts a big SMILE on my face! 
As a designer you thrive on streets like this, full of beautiful store fronts, delicious restaurants, 
little boutiques! 
It is an afternoon delight! 
I could spend hours wandering in and out of each store, inspired by what each has to offer. 
One favorite everyone must check out is...



Jenny Levits... Founder and Creator, opened Pink Lagoon in 2007 in Solana Beach and then a second store in La Jolla!
She has a true eye for fashion and design, she understands how to make a woman look and feel amazing! If you have not stopped in to peruse her carefully selected inventory make the trip. 
It is worth it!
Below are a few shots of her boutique filled with my flowers, a true partnership of all things beautiful!


A beautiful selection of Jewelry...

Fantastic Shoes...



Thank you Jenny for letting Ashley Elizabeth Floral Design & Styling be apart of your evening! 
We look forward to further collaboration!!!
xoxo, AE

Cafe Chole...A True Gem

Since I adore all things design I couldn't help but fall in LOVE❤ with Cafe Chole in downtown San Diego today! I have heard this name around town but I wasn't prepared for what I saw when I walked in! My girlfriend called and asked me to meet there for lunch! Lucky me right!!! I was greeted by the super cute Cafe Chole sign then clean crisp walls, dark rich furniture, nail head barstools, a beautiful central bar, wine rack, and this was just the decor! Combine that with fantastic service, impeccable food, delicious wine and that is what I call a Gem! We tucked into a tall corner table shared a bottle of wine, tarte flambee flat bread, and a petite house salad! It was phenomenal! I can't wait to go back and share this with someone else so they can be as WOWED as I was! Bravo Cafe Chole for keeping excellent food, charm, and great service alive!
