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!!

Hyatt Regency Garden Grove

A quick design board of Betty and Hansel's wedding which took place in April at the Hyatt Regency Garden Grove. Thank you to Michael S.Kelley Photography for the photos of their wedding day. Manzanita branches have been so "BIG" in the design world.... and as you can see by the bride absolutely loved them. The bride, Betty actually had three dress changes during their 9 course banquet Chinese Dinner; her white western (American) wedding dress, her  Chinese qipao, and her pretty in pink "Ramba" dress. She looked stunning in all of them. Good luck to the both of you and CONGRATS!

Good ole' Beverly Hills!!! Melissa & Raymond had their wedding day events captured by Jose from Harvard Photographer. He did an incredible job and was great to work with. Thanks Jose! They exchanged their wedding vows at the pristine Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels in Downtown LA. If you have never had the opportunity to visit this church it is a definite must see. The night was filled with lots of laughter and celebrating at the Renowned Beverly Hills, Beverly Wilshire! The live 8 piece band kept the party in full swing and Melissa and Raymond had a BLAST!

Hyatt Huntington Beach Wedding- Tropical Style

Mary Joy and Randy were married last year at Hyatt Huntington Beach Resort and Spa. Here are a few quick pics the photographer sent over to me from Harvard Photography. What a great couple! They were so much fun. One of their criteria was the guests really enjoyed themselves and that the event was entertainment driven. To help accomplish this we hired a "AMAZING" Jamaican band who plays here locally in the OC. They entertained all the guests with a live performance during an extended cocktail hour.

Mother's Day Tea Party- CHIC! CHIC! CHIC!

Here are a few event pics of a mother's day tea, Danielle Graven, Samantha Woods and I did this Monday for my daughter's Brownie troop. What a blast. We pulled the entire thing together in 4 days! The mothers and daughters all had a fab time and it was darling to see all the little ones dressed up in pretty dresses, serving their mothers scones and fizzy pink lemonade. The girls were incredible hostesses and did it to earn their manners badge. Thank you to Shelby at Greenleaf Designs for donating all the beautiful containers and candle holders. They looked absolutely gorgeous! Also thank you to Fusion for letting us borrow the fabulous linens.
