 Welcome...

On a daily basis, I am asked questions on wedding etiquette, planning, design ideas, and much more. I also hear great ideas and silly stories from the bride to be! Stories of "The Groom's Proposal", from parents planning the BIG day as if it is theirs. To the silly things brides do amidst the "planning fever." The planning fever is not an actual fever; I look at it as; a temporary slight malfunction to the brain! Let me explain...It is when: The Bride EATS, BREATHES, DRINKS & SLEEPS WEDDING and then out of this does not always act herself! This site will be packed with fun stories, planning ideas, tips, pointers and wonderful wedding vendors in the industry! So have a look around and I hope you Enjoy!!

So this past August Jane & David were married at a local church in San Juan Capistrano. The cocktail and dinner reception was then held at the super modern -Renee and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall located next to the South Coast Plaza. I had fun working with Jane and helping her pull together all her design elements. She truly was PRETTY in PINK! Thanks to Trista Lerit for all the fabulous images.

Simple "GREEN" wedding at Casa Romantica- San Clemente

Here are a few images of a wedding I was a day of Coordinator for at the Beautiful Casa Romantica in San Clemente. Congrats to the Both of you! This was a GREEN wedding where the Bride & Groom let the venue speak for itself rather than go over the top in design elements and kept their Budget reasonable.

The Beautiful Biltmore in LA- Stephanie & Chris- Glamour Mi Amore!

Artistic Imagery provided these great images from Stephanie & Chris's beautiful Millennium Biltmore wedding. The premier choice for celebrities, presidents and dignitaries for over 85 years, the Millennium Biltmore Hotel offers historic grandeur and modern luxury in the heart of exciting downtown Los Angeles. Check out the design...and the romantic shot of them together. Stephanie...wow, you look stunning. 

 The bride and groom decided on an"after party" which was a huge success for the younger crowd.  It was a good balance for those who did not want to partake in the dancing, DJ and drinks atmosphere...thanks to De-lighted! for providing the great mood lighting to help create the VIBE! A totally different atmosphere than the Biltmore Glamour we went for at the wedding reception.

Bowers Museum- Lacie & Matt Tie the knot....

Congrats to Matt & Lacie who tied the knot this summer at The Bowers Museumin Santa Ana. I truly enjoyed working with Lacie as she has such a sweet and gentle spirit. Lacie you are an amazing woman, Matt you are so lucky! My favorite design concept was the simplicity of using rich satin blackberry cushions on the mahogany chiavari chairs. The set-up looked absolutely stunning against the green gardens. I also loved how the sweet station had a FAV candy from each bridal party member along with their picture on the candy jars...too cute!

Thanks to Jim Kennedy Photography for the images...

Hand-made Birch Arch

Fresh lavender florals hanging from shepherd hooks cap off the ends of the aisle

Sweet smelling lavender to sprinkle on the newly married couple as the walk down the aisle...

DRESSES they can WEAR again!

Heather decided to have all of her girls whatever dress they wanted as long as it fit within the wedding color palette and they all had similiar material. Super cute and they all were comfortable

White daisies, fresh rosemary, sprigs of lavender, deep purple lisianthus, moss and freshly glued ivy leaves adorn this sweet flower girl basket. Good JOB Madison -you looked Beautiful!

potted plants and moss line the escort card baskets

Wedding Monogram made out of Hydrangea

Natural Clay Water Dispensers help add to the rustic feel at the guest beverage station

Guest wedding tables-simple yet with satin elegance 

Our favorite Head table similar to family dining- "The kings table"- festive and more interaction at dinner with your bridal party. Plus the bride, groom and the entire bridal party don't feel like they are on display!

"things that go well together" was the inspiration for their table names- peas and carrots-milk and cookies-baseball and glove-Heather and Jerry- oh so cute!

Thank you NOTES to guests- plantable paper in the shape of a butterfly with a sprig of fresh lavender- RECYCLED paper was used for the hand printed escort cards

Another scrumptious SWEET Station by De-lighted! complete with fresh chocolate chip cookies, white chocolate peanut butter cups, old-fashion taffy and vintage dishes. Love the mocha beaded linen!

 

Lastly...the cake!
