Victoria's 15th Birthday Party

Victoria, as you can see from the photo below, is a beautiful young lady who was turning 15.  She called me and asked if I could help plan her birthday party.  There was so much excitement in her voice, I couldn't say, "No".  We scheduled a meeting with her mom and a couple of days later they called to say they wanted to hire me to help with the party planning.  We started looking for venues right away.  Victoria is definitely a young lady that knows what she wants, such elegance and class.  From the beginning she had her theme and colors chosen: Masquerade Ball - colors: Red, Black and White.  I truly enjoyed working with Victoria and her mom.  I hope I'm around to plan her wedding!

Karina & Mario's Wedding

Karina and Mario were awesome clients. I had so much fun planning their wedding. Both Karina and Mario work for Lexus in a professional capacity. Their wedding was in October with a fall theme, colors: orange, brown, gold and white. Karina and Mario booked my "Month Of" wedding package. However, we spent time together picking out linen, looking for a harpist to play at the ceremony, deciding what kind of menzanite tree to use for the placecards and they even added my service to decorate their candy buffet using their theme colors. As usual, the wedding is over and my clients are living their lives as a married couple. I wish Karina and Mario all the happiness and blessings!

Robyn & Jeremy's Wedding - Beachfront Wedding

Robyn's mom, Rhonda called me one day about helping with her daughter's wedding.  Rhonda lives in Las Vegas and found me by searching the Internet.  What a wonderful woman!  After speaking with me over the phone, she liked what she heard and scheduled a meeting with me and the lovely couple.  My assistant, Chalyse and I scheduled to meet them at a cafe' in Beverly Hills.  Not realizing the day we scheduled the meeting was a Jewish holiday and the cafe' would be closed.  I was so upset because I was concerned this would not look good, especially for a first time meeting.  I waited outside until they arrived and informed them that the cafe' was closed.  Thank goodness I'm familiar with Beverly Hills, they got into my car and we drove to a hotel in Beverly Hills and sat in a beautiful lobby discussing their wedding plans.  Happily they overlooked the closed cafe situation and realized I was the planner to help plan their wedding.  Yes, I was hired!  We were a year and a half away from the wedding date.  By the time Robyn and Jeremy's wedding day approached, I felt apart of the family. 

Robyn a lawyer and Jeremy a project manager, very busy people needed someone who was dependent, responsible and very well organized.  Their love for Mickey and Minnie Mouse was incorporated into their wedding theme.  Colors: purple, silver and white.  Rhonda, Robyn and Jeremy, you're the best!

Why is choosing a wedding a dress so special?

Ever since Britain’s Queen Victoria caused a stir by choosing to wear a spectacular white dress created especially for her wedding to Prince Albert—at a time when most women simply donned their best dress for the occasion—women have devoted weeks, months, even entire childhoods dreaming about this utterly romantic garment. Your wedding gown is the dress of a lifetime---and will set the style and tone for the entire wedding. Before you shop, have fun and explore your fantasies. Look through magazines with friends, and don’t forget to surf the Internet; mark the pages of anything that catches your eye, whether it’s a particular fabric, cut, trim, or the entire dress. You may fall in love with a specific dress then plan your wedding around it. However, it’s usually best to determine the day, time, and formality of your reception first, then shop for that special look.

Once you’ve found your dream dress, select bridesmaids’ and ushers’ attire that is complementary in formality and style. Mothers’ dresses should also complement the wedding colors scheme.
