Mmm...Bubbly!

I was recently at the Bridal Bazaar and came across this booth that seemed to be extremely popular. When I approached I realized they were giving away samples of a new brand of champagne premium cocktails called Dirty Blonde Cocktails. Naturally, I had to have a sample since everyone seemed to be raving about it. They have four refreshing flavors. These would make a great gift for bridesmaids, favors, or even for bachelorette parties and bridal showers. Raspberry Flirtini, Citrus Mimosa, Sparkling Mojito, and Peach Passion Bellini are the flavors available. Check out the site for more info and where to purchase.

Real Wedding: Nicole & Gary

Nicole & Gary were married this past summer. It was my first time coordinating a wedding at Mt. Helix and the views are spectacular. It is so peaceful and serene. The couple chose the color scheme of red and yellow to signify Love & Friendship.

Ceremony: Mt. Helix

Reception: Nan Couts Cottage

Photography: Robert Bonilla- Direct Shot

Catering: Continental Catering

Cake: Crumbs of Paris

In honor of the bride's father, she carried a single long stemmed red rose which she added to the eleven roses in the vase. The song "A Dozen Red Roses" was played in his honor. It was a touching moment.

Nan Couts is a quaint little cottage in La Mesa and is a great location for a small reception or party.

Words of Wisdom!

I couldn't have said it better myself. This is worth the read.

Viva Las Vegas!

I recently took a trip to Las Vegas for a wedding conference for wedding professionals. I was so excited to find out that it would be held in one of my favorite cities. Las Vegas has the most beautiful hotels and everything is usually under one roof. I went with my fellow planner friends and we stayed at the gorgeous Venetian hotel. I love to see the decor in the different hotels. Here are some photos that I took when we wandered over to the Wynn.

Shells and orchids adorn the Foyer table

"Parasol Down"- This is great inspiration for a wedding or party theme. The rich colors would make a bold statement.

This would be a gorgeous setting for an evening garden wedding. White lights are always an affordable decor item. You can also have your florist create pomander balls to hang from trees if you are using an outdoor venue.

There was a restaurant/bakery inside the Wynn called Sugar & Ice that had their cakes displayed along the wall at one of the entrances to the hotel where the shop was located. I love how the display cases were framed like works of art.

OSC Featured Wedding

We were lucky enough to have one of our weddings featured on so you're enGAYged As previously posted Tammy & Jill were an awesome couple to work with and they as well as myself couldn't have been more pleased with the outcome of the wedding. Check out the post!

Summer In Review

What can I say...Summer is coming to a close. This year is flying by. Before you know it the holidays will be upon us. This summer was challenging, fun, stressful, and productive. Although I do regret not spending a relaxing day on the beach like I vowed I would do, it was overall a great summer for business. There were new obstacles to overcome, great vendors that we worked with, beautiful venues that we had the chance to experience and best of all, wonderful couples that are continuing on their journey of life together. Each year is a new learning experience and each year the couples and their families validate my choice of the wonderful career that I have chosen. A huge thank you to all those who give me encouragement, love, and support. Best wishes to all and I look forward to the upcoming clients that I will have the good fortune of working with to make their dream day a reality.
