This Couple Rang in the New Year (and Their New Marriage) With ALL the Confetti

Cue the music, pre-pour the champagne, grab some confetti, and get ready to see the most celebratory married kiss of your life in ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one... Yes, Helena and Brian tied the knot on New Year’s Eve in the heart of Rancho Santa Fe, California, and the confetti was flying! The happy couple laughed through their vows, danced the night away, and rang in the new year with an epic kiss, surrounded by their nearest and dearest, and a whole lot of sparkle. The darling duo held their ceremony on a beautiful green lawn at Rancho Valencia, where they stood in front of a custom floral filled fireplace. During the "I dos," hot air balloons slowly crept in under a beautiful colorful sky—so perfectly timed that it was as if Rancho Santa Fe was equally involved in the wedding. Every sparkle, word and detail was carefully thought out. Tables were named after the ever so popular Kate Spade “pop” “clink” and “fizz”, and champagne was most definitely overflowing. A confetti bar was stocked with an extensive amount of crinkle paper, and gold and silver confetti, so guests could create their own DIY poppers. And the escort cards were party horns, custom made with the navy blue, blush, and gold colors of the wedding. Although Helena and Brian did not bring their two dogs at the wedding, they did ensure that they were equally part of their special day. Custom cutouts of the pups with white collars and tutus were used in the photo booth and it made every guest smile. Now, New Years will always be a little extra special for these two true friends and happy souls. We'll raise a glass of bubbly to that!
