A touch of Australia in Paso Robles

Posted in Uncategorized

This is one of the most memorable weddings for me!  My really good friend Mindi, got married this past summer at Peachy Canyon Winery in Paso Robles, California.  Mindi and her husband, Aaron live in Sydney, Australia full time.  When they first got engaged they debated on having their wedding in Australia or California.  Aaron is originally from Australia, so of course all of his family and friends are there.  But for Mindi, she was born and raised in California.  So of course the debate was heated on the decision.  What better place to get married then the place where they met and worked together.  The decision was made; Peachy Canyon Winery in Paso Robles.   Her design was so classy and modern, with a splash of Australian style.  The pallet began with green and was accented by grey and white.  The flowers were designed by TOS Events with the help of our good friends, Joy Honey and Jen Pickens.  We had a blast working on the flowers together.  They turned out amazing and exactly what I pictured!  The food was fabulous, thank you so much Trumpet Vine catering for great service and a fabulous display of art. www.trumpetvinecatering.com You can not have a party without a great DJ, thanks DJ Bob….you rocked it!  After the sun went down a whole new ambiance set in.  The lighting filled the oak trees around us in a shade of purple and lights were strung across the bar.  It was seriously fabulous, thank you Kramer Entertainment  www.kramerdjs.com Last but not least……my absolute favorite photographers…Mike Larson Photography.  Always a pleasure working with the amazing crew.  A special thanks to Rachel Larson and Jake for helping bring the pictures to life.   www.mikelarson.com

Congratulations Mindi & Aaron!  I love you guys and thank you for giving me the opportunity to plan your wedding.  I totally get it if you want to name your first born child after me….I mean come on.  Who wouldn’t want to!  haha  J/K  Hope to see you both very soon…xoxo

The photo booth was a big hit

Purple up-lighting of the trees created such an inviting ambiance

Aaron gave a toasts at the end of the night, and it was seriously a tear jerker. He went through a list of thank you

We strung small vases from every tree surrounding the dance floor and filled them with a floating candle. When the sun went down, it looked beautiful!

Submerged with Love! We filled the centerpiece vases with flowers and then submerged them under water.

Spheres covered in moss added an extra touch of green color and looked great paired with the centerpieces.


We had so much fun putting together the flowers

What an honor to coordinate a dear friends wedding

My two favorite girls. Congratulations Mindi you found your prince charming!

LA Glamour Wedding

Posted in Uncategorized

Laura & ArthurI have had such a blast getting to know this couple!   They have this great funky style about them but yet so Hollywood glamour.   Introducing Laura & Arthur, soon to be Mr. &  Mrs. Chan this Saturday in downtown LA.  You are going to die when you see the design and colors of this wedding.  It’s seriously so rad, I can’t even tell you how excited I am to be a part of their wedding.  At our last meeting we did a walk through of the site and went over some of the details.  Then we walked over to a cute little restraunt in LA and I am proad to say that for the very first time ever……..I tried Oysters!  I have this weird thing that I won’t try things if I don’t like the way they look.  And I seriously never thought I would try an oyster.  But I’m not going to lie, I thought it was pretty good.  I turned it down at first and said no way, then Arthur talked me into it.  So I had to do it!  After all you only live once and I’m still alive today;)  So I survived and I will never forget that.  It was great night, wine & Oysters.  It was fabulous!  Not to mention getting to see Laura & Arthur outside of a meeting atmoshpere, I got to see a different perspective of their love.  I am so excited for the two of them and to spend the rest of their lives together.  They are truly a match made in heaven!

Jennifer & Scott

Posted in Wedding in San Luis Obispo

I absolutely am in love with this couple!  Jennifer & Scott live in San Diego, California.  They will be saying their vows this September in Paso Robles, California.  While looking over the beautiful rolling hills, filled with lushes grape vines waiting to be picked.

  Jennifer & Scott are just one of those couples that you admire their love and affection for each other.  Every time I talk to Jennifer she gets more excited about marrying the love of her life.  I love that….. when you can completely tell how much they love each other just by the way they look at one another!  Mike Larson Photography captured the love and excitement through all of these photos.  On the day of the shoot, rain was in the for cast.  And of course it did, even though you never know with the way the weather man predicts these things.  But anyways, Rachel & Mike where able to get them out there in between the showers. But the rain did not stop how much fun they had on this shoot!  Jennifer & Scott are very excited to have Mike Larson photography a part of their wedding.  Jennifer is one of those brides that I will totally miss after the wedding has past.  We email about something almost every day.  I love drinking my coffee in the morning and writing back and fourth to Jenn.  She is such a fun bride!  We just bounce off fun design ideas, colors, flowers, linens, food & of course how are day is going so far.  Stay tuned for their fabulous wedding this fall!  The wedding design is going to be speechless….

Organic wood? The making of the boxes…

Posted in Uncategorized

YEAH!!!  I am so excited about the finishing product!  Thanks to my friends; Aaron Gomez and Jory Brigham.   Check out their site; www.jorybrigham.com They are amazing designers!  Just to hear them explain the different types of wood and the feel that each one gives off, blew my mind.  Aaron explains; “We are two designers/builders who like to focus on the aesthetics of our pieces. Creating unique furniture that is a functioning piece of art, not just something for storage. Our natural resources are precious. Thus I strongly believe in using it all to its fullest potential. All wood has very interesting qualities. It is our job as designers and builders to showcase that beauty in the best way possible.”

I believe these boxes can be used in many different ways at a wedding.  Mainly to display; place cards, menu’s, favors, etc.  Each box will be filled with a different design depending on the style/color of the wedding.  Stay tuned for pictures from a wedding in March!  Thanks Aaron & Jory!!
