A First Dance to Remember

This was forwarded to me by one of our past clients. Thanks for sharing Rebekah! Nooo, this isn't her. This is one of those emails going around. I think the point is to make your wedding special and unique to you. I certainly would never have forgotten this!

Friends don't let Brides drive dressed

Brides...what sounds more romantic to you? Being whisked away in a limo or a town car...or even your own ride all decorated with "Just Married" - OR - hanging out until the end of the reception, hauling a trash bag around to clean up your decor and then YOU piling into your car, wedding dress and all and driving yourself away. If you're like me and most brides, you'd opt for option one. Please make sure you put some thought into how you're ending your reception and leaving your guests. You need to coordinate cars ahead of time so no cars are left behind. Take into account who wants to drink and who can carpool. Leave the cleaning to friends and family. Have someone you trust get all the gifts.....WHATEVER you have to do not to see the magic disappear when the lights go up. But..no matter what....do NOT be the one getting behind the wheel in your dress. All that tulle can inhibit your driving...not to mention the boning in your dress...ouch!!

Winter Wonderland in Fall

Who says you can't do a winter theme in fall? It was a gorgeous day on Sunday with some amazing sunsets. Everyone arrived on time, even with the time change. The groom is one of the Chargers biggest fans (check out the cake), but unfortunately they did not cooperate and had a devastating loss. However, his disappointment was gone the minute he caught site of his beautiful bride. Please notice how something as simple as a runner can add that splash of color and elegance.

Pink Roses

I've always loved pink as an accent color. The bride on Saturday used bright pink as an accent on black. I've updated the photo gallery, but here is how the table looked and her beautiful bouquet. Unfortunately, due to the rain, we did have to move the ceremony inside but it was intimate and romantic. I always say to add something to your wedding that is uniquely you and will stand out from the rest. This past wedding had a whole roasted pig which was part of the groom's culture. I don't think I'll ever forget it!! A cute idea that this bride did was to include the seating chart, in alphabetically order, within her programs.

Ceremony Under the Stars

In my 2 1/2 years here, this is my first wedding under the stars. The ceremony was at 6:30. The gazebo was encased in white lights and was VERY romantic. Now I've seen a lot of get-a-way vehicles...but this is a first. It's a hearse!! Here are some pics. I also have new photo gallery on Picasa. Go here to see all sorts of decorating ideas!! I'll be updating this every week so check back often.
