CONGRATULATIONS RUBY AND DAVID!

A huge congratulations to Ruby and David on their gorgeous wedding at The Westin Pasadena. Ruby came to us in mid-June saying she wanted to have her wedding this September, on 9/10/11. Obviously we knew that was going to be a challenge since she didn't even have a venue yet but we were totally for it. Ultimately Ruby fell in love with The Westin and while it wasn't available on 9/10/11, it was available just two weeks later. This ended up working out for the best because Ruby is in Graduate School and she ended up having finals on the week of 9/10/11. I guess things happen for a reason :)

Anyway, we worked hard and pulled together one grand affair in only 3 months time. And the wedding was fabulous! Ruby has such fun taste - and a flare for sparkles and feathers. We designed all the stationery, from the wish tree, to the signs, to their programs/itineraries,and their custom monogram. We're quite proud of how it all came together! We also set up a really cute pink and white candy buffet which was definitely a hit with the guests. Ruby was a blast to work with and 3 months just wasn't enough time with her. We are so happy that Ruby and David had the wedding day of their dreams and when I last spoke with Ruby she said she and David were absolutely loving their first weeks of wedded bliss.

Highlights Video from Morgan and Conrad's Wedding

What an elegant and glamourous affair Morgan and Conrad's wedding was at the Four Seasons Biltmore in Santa Barbara. And the weather couldn't have been more perfect. It was about 75 degrees with a subtle ocean breeze. Morgan's flawless taste was apparent in every detail and the sophisticated and fun palatte made for an evening everyone will remember forever. We'll post more when the pictures are ready but here is a sneak preview video from Visioneer Media. Our sincere congratulations to Morgan and Conrad!

Enjoy!

Congratulations to Scott and Elisa!

We had a wonderful time this past Saturday coordinating a home wedding for Scott and Elisa. We've been working together since last September and from the moment I walked into their fantastic home I could see why they chose to use it as the venue for their special day. In fact, when the home was on sale earlier that year the previous owner had several interested buyers. So Scott and Elisa wrote a personal note, explaining that they planned to be married there. Well, who could say no to that? Scott and Elisa got the house and less than a year later, they were married there. Elisa had always dreamed of being married on the anniversary of her grandparents' wedding and - as if it had been written in the stars - that date happened to fall on a Saturday this year. Elisa and Scott invited 50 fun and lively friends and family and they (literally) partied the night away. Chef Greg and Adeline from Maison Catering provided the AMAZING Tuscan-inspired meals, followed by the most amazing Italian cookies anyone has ever tasted. The meals and desserts were all prepared onsite in Scott and Elisa's kitchen, so guests could watch and enjoy the fun as each course was prepared beautifully. Music was provided by Todd Buteaux of Feet First Entertainment and he did a fabulous job of keeping everyone on the dance floor, with the help of two very talented servers/dancers from Maison Catering who couldn't resist joining in the fun. Photography was provided by Jihan Photography and we are bursting to see the photos she took. Videography was provided by Jeff Roy and Sherry from Visioneer Media and we are so excited to see how some of the very creative setups came out on video. We're confident from past experience it will be amazing. Mocha Kiss arrived later in the evening with a full-service coffee cart and we're certain the large amounts of espresso consumed kept the party going into the wee hours of the morning. All in all it was a beautiful wedding for a fabulous couple and we couldn't be happier for them. And I have to thank them once again for the adorable Easter Bunny they gave me to bring home to Avery since their wedding was the night before Easter. It says a lot about a couple when they remember and have time to go out and buy a gift for their coordinator's daughter during such an incredibly busy time. Thank you so much!

Here are a few preview snapshots. The first three are from Jeff Roy, their videographer from Visioneer Media. The others are snapshots we took. We'll post the photos from their photographer, Jihan Photography as soon as they're ready so please stay tuned.
