From the Central Valley to Carmel Valley, the road to a picturesque wedding can be long and windy.  Elisa Diel and Matt Brown began their story like all others, unsure where and when to tie the knot.  From contemplating the green hillsides of Ireland to a quaint backyard celebration at the family residence, the questions and decisions flew rampant through their minds and landed in the majestic

About 3 weeks ago I was with my Mother and daughter, in a Walmart, in Oklahoma, buying my daughter new clothes, since the airline lost her luggage. We came across the most ginormous marshmallows we'd ever seen ~ talk about a quick sparkle in the eye!! For days my daughter, who is 8 with a sweettooth as big as mine, was coming up with reasons and receipes for getting these oversized marshmallows

Are you so excited about being engaged that you feel lost? Do you need a headstart in the right direction?  Are you looking for valuable information in a short amount of time?  Do you need some creative design help?  Are you the bride that never really dreamed about her wedding and now it's upon you and you're overwhelmed?  Do yo have a budget to stick to and need help figuring out how to squeeze

This past Saturday, we had the pleasure of working with a bride familiar to the event industry and a creative one at that!  We don't often have clients that are "DYI" gals.  Check out the pictures and see the darling table numbers that the bride assembled and painted herself along with the seating chart.  The tables were adorned with beautiful springtime flowers made by Amy at Brown Bunny Floral.

There are times when you find the absolute perfect piece to your design.  Well, this is our perfect piece for an upcoming event and I just couldn't wait to share!!!!  I feel like a kid with a secret bubbling inside!!! You'll have to wait for the rest of it, and it will definitely be worth it!!!  All details for this event will be posted the beginning of May! xoxo

At the end of an event, we are just beat, totally exhausted and starving! The last thing we really want to do is worry about who is taking what and wondering where the left overs are going. We have been very blessed to work with some amazing vendors that also see the need to reuse and recycle ~ that will deliver flowers to homes and hospitals ~ that will take left over food to shelters.

So I've been listening to many of our clients and members of their Bridal Parties discuss their diet plans, etc. for the upcoming events. The word dieting is just a turn off, period. So when I read this article this morning, I felt it was light and had some good points and can probably help those who are looking for the healthier alternative to dieting.

How terrible to call it a battle, but when you have put in the back breaking time and effort, I think you have a right to stand up and tell others "WTH do you think you're doing!!!!"

There are so many wedding and event blogs out there these days that one can certainly become 1) obsessed, 2) a wedding planner in a day or 3) very confused and overwhelmed. I've also noticed a huge trend in wedding vendors who are wanting it all.  Really, should a florist take 13 weddings in a single day?  Should a caterer take on 7 weddings in a single day?  What kind of staff is that going to

On Tuesday afternoon, I was having a casual chat with one of our clients, towards the end of our conversation, she says ~ "Oh, by the way, what are you doing on Saturday"? Then hands me an invitation to her daughters (Hannah) friends birthday party. I was a bit perplexed. I know these girls, but not well enough for attending a party as a guest ~ and then it hit me! Oh boy... here we go.

The new CityCenter on the strip in Las Vegas is more than just a couple new hotels, or new shopping center. It's just massive! It's a city within a city. And if you go to Aria, well, that's another city in itself. This week I'm visiting the 3 main hotels here in the CityCenter and will be giving you a full report on what I think. The first night will be at Vdara, a non-gaming hotel. Second
