Hello! I really don’t know what’s wrong with me lately, as I’m not usually a very colorful kinda gal. Perhaps it’s all the gray weather… But I’m suddenly and incurably obsessed with pink. Oh yes, pink dresses, pink couches, pink pretty much everything. If I didn’t think it would make me look slightly off-balance, I would paint all my walls pink and would never leave home… So here’s my inspiration board du jour, hoping to rub off some of that pink happiness on you! xoxo

Hello! I am dying from exhaustion. Literally, wedding season hasn’t even officially kicked off yet, and I am already dreaming of my vacation in the fall… If I make til then. But then I get a phone call from someone like this bride, and my day instantly brightens up… Let’s call her B. B is Indian. So is her fiance. She is also young, vibrant, full of energy, and totally adorable. She is also the same sign as I am, so this might be playing a bit into why we get along so well. But most importantly, B and her man are planning a wild, over-the-top, totally cool big fat Indian wedding. I am holding myself back from inserting tons of {!!!!!!!!!!!!} after each sentence. ...

Hello, hello! I have a confession to make: I really hate this season! It’s April, and no one is getting married. I mean, no one’s getting married yet. This is pure torture. I have all these absolutely gorgeous weddings lined up, and there is absolutely nothing I can do about it right now. I mean, I am in the midst of a lot of planning, and detail tweaking, and schedule organizing, but there is no actual hands-on, on-site, anything going on right now. I am meeting with my brides, and we are running from decor showrooms to cake tastings, but oh, I am so itching for an actual wedding right now! So, I’ve decided I’ll scratch the itch by sharing with you a couple of ...

this is how we do it!

This past Saturday I had the great pleasure of coordinating Jennifer and Matt’s wedding. This was my favorite kind of adventure, as the happy couple had eloped in December to Mexico, and was planning a trendy, late-night, Valentine’s Day-themed lofty reception. No sit-down dinner, no speeches, none of the traditional hoopla. Just fun, yummy finger food, booze, and close friends and family. I will be posting these to the gallery section, but this 2010 wedding season kickoff was so great, it deserved a post of its own. Jennifer and Matt wanted a fun, non-stuffy mood that would encourage their guests to mingle. So instead of having chairs and tables, we opted for lounge-y furniture, low sofas mixed with high tables and stools, and tons of ...

frame me!

As you all know from my last post, I am hard at work finalizing the details for Jennifer and Mathieu’s wedding this coming February 13th. One of the touches we wanted to add was to have various signs at special spots around the room… Menus, cocktail recipes, the couple’s thoughts, etc. In order to do that, I needed pretty frames, in various colors matching our theme (Valentine’s Day reds, pinks, and whites). I found a few frames that worked with that, but mostly I found pretty frames in totally wrong colors. So what did I do? I took my girly nail polish to good use! I hope this inspires you to try out your own little DIY project… xoxo
