Inspiration Board: Purple Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day Everyone!

I wish I could spend Mother's Day with my mom, however she lives in Seattle, Washington and I currently live in Southern California. I would love to create a quaint Mother's Day party to celebrate with all of the important women in my life. The first color that comes to mind is shades of purple which are my mom's favorite colors. Here is an inspiration board of all things lovely in purple and lavender. I especially love the idea of using bundles of lavender as an escort card or place card for each guest. Any of these ideas can be used to create your perfect wedding or an intimate Mother's Day tea party.

Hope all of you have a wonderful Mother's Day!

Vera Wang Spring 2012 Bridal Collection

What else can you say about Vera Wang but "Amazing!" Her use of beautiful lace and lightly drapped tulle is simply gorgeous. Each look is whimsical and full of unique details.You might be thinking "How can I afford a Vera Wang dress?" but anything is possible. Sample sales and trunk shows are the perfect place to find your dream dress. A friend of ours was able to purchase a Vera Wang dress for $600. It sounds too good to be true but it is definitely possible. All you will need is time to search and an experienced tailor to make the appropriate alterations to fit you perfectly. View her new spring 2012 bridal collection at the Vera Wang trunk show on Melrose on April 28th-April 30th. Have fun shopping!

Love, love, love...

Pretty colors..

Happy Easter!

 Here is a little inspiration for spring weddings. Love the cute idea of DIY candles made using eggs. A variety of pastel colors can be used subtly to create one unified look. Hope everyone has a wonderful Easter! Thank you Jesus for dying on the cross and rising again!

Mona & Philip's Engagment Session

Mona and Philip are such a cute couple and we're looking forward to their wedding coming up at the Hilton San Gabriel. The two decided to have their engagement photoshoot at the USC campus. It's a gorgeous location for photos with the unique architecture and beautiful landscapes. They took advantage of capturing the day looks with the perfect lighting and some fun evening shots. Thanks Mona and Philip for sharing your engagement photos with us!

Valentine's Day Candy Table

Hope all of you had a wonderful Valentine's Day! Everyone always says it's a Hallmark holiday but we love it because it's really just a day to remind everyone how thankful we are to have one another in our lives. We spent out Valentine's weekend volunteering and attending the Love & Respect Conference. We were asked to help create a budget friendly candy table for the guests of the conference. We decided to hang chocolate covered strawberries off of a white manzanita tree and just have a variety of candy that we know people will love.

The chocolate covered strawberries were a hit! They were gone within minutes.

Mini chocolate espresso cupcakes with pink and white frosting!





You can find the books and cd's online! It's definitely worth the money to purchase these. This conference really opened our eyes to how God loves us unconditionally and how ultimately we as people desire love from one another.

A Baby Shower to remember!

We absolutely love baby showers! It's such a special time to not only celebrate a precious baby coming into this world but also to shower the new mommy-to-be with love. The mommy-to-be (Kristin) wanted organic colors for the shower which she also used to decorate her baby Zoey's room. So yellow, green, and brown were the perfect color palette to create this look. We created a cute dessert table filled with yummy treats that Kristin and her guests would enjoy.

We created two different drinks to fit the color theme. The one to the left was a kiwi puree and the one to the right was a peach puree both topped off with sparkling cider.

Delicious lemon tarts with blackberries and baby themed white chocolate covered pretzels.

Brownie pops are always a crowd pleaser!


The diaper cake added a nice touch to the table decor and the color theme.

Favors (small green bags with candy) were hung off of the centerpiece. Each favor was labeled with the name of the guest.

If you are on a budget for decor, look for deals at the wholesale flower market. These were bought at the LA Flower Market. Find different size vases around your house and just get creative with the styling.

There are so many cheesy baby shower games out there but we thought decorating onesies was such a creative idea. Each guest received a plain white onesie to decorate however they wanted. There was puffy paint, a variety of buttons, rhinestones, etc. Once they were finished, the onesies were all hung with small baby clothes pins. It is an easy way to add decorations to what you have already put up.Some of the designs that the girls made! They are so cute!

The mom-to-be picked this one as the winner!

Table setting with white square plates and brown napkins with green flower napkin holders. The napkin holders were made of tissue and strung around with thin wire.


Mini Egg Frittatas are perfect for a lovely brunch. They are so flavorful in one bite and look elegant!
