Circus Show





Ryan and Noel came to me shortly after getting engaged and told me that they wanted to have a party not a quote on quote "wedding". In Wedding Planner World this means Entertaining and Fun along with creative details in order to create a unique setting that would be the "Circus of their Dreams".
Below is the seating chart I created with Ryan and Noel. We pulled vintage clip art from the top 12 Circus's of all time and named the tables after them. Each table had farmers bouquet in mason jars with coke bottles and pin wheels along with a framed picture of there assigned circus. Programs for the bride and groom were passed out along with mini pinwheels for the guests to raise up during the ceremony. Special themed signage was created and placed through out the festivities with not a detail missed. We even constructed with the couple a personalized interactive photo booth backdrop with removable frames and character pop outs. We also did a homemade ring toss using wine bottles instead of milk bottles since the venue was a winery. My favorite element of the wedding was a price wheel we customized to be a dance wheel, so everytime a guest would spin it it would land on a fun dance move the Groom would have to perform on the spot! Great Time!and Great people! Over 700 feet of pendant flag banners{made by beautiful bride}was hung through out the Setting along with bold red curtains lining the point of entrance to the ceremony, cake and bar. The elements of detail are endless....Old fashioned pop corn bags were being passed around at cocktail hour along with mini corn dogs. 8twenty8 photography did a great job at capturing all the details I wish I could show you them all!!

Island Girl { Bridal Bouquet }

This Particular job was a favor to a very dear friend of mine that I grew up with in Hawaii. She called me and asked me to create a bouquet for a friend getting married on a boat off the shore of New Port with just a few close friends and family members. My friends Jen lives up near Hollywood so I thought it would be fun to take the train up to deliver it, so I could make the most of the trip and enjoy myself. From there I took a subway which took me right to the edge of Korea town where her very eclectic apartment building sat right at the top of the subway which I found unconventionally convenient( I loved It:) ) . I had a wedding to work the next day so my trip was very short. I was able to have a bottle of wine and then wake up at dawn so I could catch the train back to San Diego and she would depart to give the beautiful Bride her bouquet.The Bride was happy and they sent me a photo from the boat which made me trip all worth it as this one little job will always be remembered as a true labor of love. 

love life!

Holly Lauren's in the house!! { A visit from my one of my favorite jewelry designers}

 {I Heart Holly Lauren }
I was thrilled this week when fashionista Holly Lauren came into my studio with a case full of goodies. I had been waiting for the past couple weeks for her new line of cell phone covers to come out and boy was it worth it!. I feel that we should start treating out cell phones as the accessories they are and we should be wearing them like we match our earrings and purses with out outfits! I am currently rockin the white  on white shown above but the gold and pink studs will be perfect for those days that when I sport my gold jewelry and my pink holly Lauren signature rosettes! Starting next week I will be carrying Holly Lauren and setting up consultations for any bride or client who would like an appointment to preview her new Bohemian Inspired Line and any of your custom wedding couture fantasies.
