Escort Cards and Table Numbers

Photo via Love of Fair

I have a bride who has been contemplating the age old question.... seating chart, or no seating chart? I vote seating chart! It's a great way to help guests mingle and make sure that no one is left out. Plus it helps prevent the crazy relatives from having to sit with other crazy relatives and stealing all the crazy allotted to the Bride for the day. Not to mention, it is a great way to add to the decor of a wedding. There are so many creative ways to do escort cards and table numbers these days. For today's society, seating charts are fun! Here are some very cute examples of people who have embraced the escort card/table number fun.

Featured in Ceremony Magazine!

Yesterday I was strolling through Barnes and Noble (consequently, a great place to get wedding magazines), when I picked up the latest edition of Ceremony Magazine, thumbed through it, and came across a wedding that I worked on when I was with Exquisite! Event Planning and Design. I couldn't believe it! A wedding I've worked on has appeared in a magazine! So I figured I should probably share it with you all, here!

Jane and David were married in August of 2009 and had their reception at the Orange County Performing Arts Center. It was a very cute pink wedding! Everything from the cake to the lighting to the flowers were various shades of pink! I did work for this wedding with both Exquisite and also De-Lighted. What a great wedding, and such a cute couple!

Big News!

Great news everyone! After searching high and low for the perfect job, Fresh Events Company in Pasadena has extended an offer for me to join their team! I will be starting out in their training program, and then becoming their new Associate Event Planner! I am thrilled for this opportunity! To all the lovely ladies at Fresh Events, I can not wait to begin working with you!

Here are some of their beautiful events from the past...

Brides with Ink

Photo via I Do Declare

Today, one in every eight people in the United States has a tattoo. That means, a lot of people with tattoos get married every year! Lately I've been noticing a trend... let's call it "ink couture". Modern brides not only have tattoos, but incorporate them into the overall look for their weddings! I love that! It's art! How could I not?

Some people decide to cover their tattoos by airbrushing. However! I think that if you liked something enough to get it permanently placed on your body, then you should show it off on your wedding day! Find a dress that accents the tattoo, or makes it a part of the overall bridal look. Here are some women who are not afraid to flaunt their ink on their wedding day... couture style!

Your Bartender

My amazing honey, Mr. Justin Medeiros, just completed bartending school! He is now a certified mixologist! Congratulations sweetheart! For those of you who have events coming up, Justin is available to bartend private parties, weddings, corporate events... I wouldn't even mind lending him out for bachelorette parties. You name it, he can serve it! Let me just tell you... Justin makes the best long island iced tea you've ever had! Book him now while he still has availability!

The business cards, pictured above and below are courtesy of yours truly, and also a reminder, that I (in a few weeks time) will have a design degree, and am available for all your stationery needs!

Cheers!

Paperback Weddings

I recently discovered a fabulous photographer that I simply MUST share with you all! Paperback Weddings does everything right. There are a lot of trends in wedding photography, and Paperback Weddingstakes the cake for incorporating all the right trends! They incorporate masterful skill with stunning romance. Those are the two biggest things to look for when selecting your photographer. A good wedding photographer will be able to capture romantic moments without letting the images be stilted. Every image should be interesting to look at, while still telling a story at the same time.

Take a look at some of their stunning photos...
