Real Wedding :: Sally + Chris

I get so happy when I find photographers’ blogs that melt my heart and at the same time sad, when they’re not from SoCal.  This wedding from Yvonne Wong is gorgeous in every sense of the way!



How soft and romantic!  So sweet and dreamy!

So many details and such great taste!  Hop on over to her blog here and see her whole post on this beautiful wedding.

Happy Wedding Wednesday!

Venue :: The Langham, Pasadena

One of our favorites venues is right around the corner in SoCal in Pasadena.  The Langham is gorgeous both inside and out.  The last we were there was for the Tea with E event blogged about here

It’s absolutely gorgeous for an outside ceremony.

And just about perfect for an inside reception if you’re looking for something classic, tradtitional, and elegant.

It’s fit for a king and queen!  They have other locations for your ceremony as well.  One is outside near their red bridge and you can always use one of the inside ballrooms too. 
Here’s an article on Grace Ormonde that is super  informative.  If you need help planning out your big day here, give us a call or email us here today!

Wedding Hankies!

I’ve always loved the girls at WeddingChicks and now their brilliant minds have started a little shop!  Just recently, they added wedding hankies that are just adorable! 

Such a cute gift for your bridesmaids!  If you have a small number of guests, wouldn’t it also be perfect as an invitation or even a favor?

If you go now, they’re offering them at 20% off with free shipping!  Happy Wednesday!

Happy Friday!

This Friday I wanted to share a picture of a cake that was made for a pretty little girl named Kaylee!  She’s family so we decided she had to have one of the best of course!

At first, I thought we might be going overboard for a 2 year old, but loved the final result!  I’m convinced every girl needs a cake like this right?  Thanks Fantasy Frostings!

Happy weekend!

Dahlia Love!

The dahlia is such a beautiful flower.  It’s available mostly from June to November so if you’re wedding is within this time frame, you’re in luck!

Dahlias are gorgeous!  From the softer colors:

I know I’d love this!  We even found cute invites!

Tuesday Shoesday

Happy Tuesday Shoesday!  We are dying over this find today!  It can be a bridesmaids gift or your very own wedding day shoes if you choose not to go with heels and if your wedding is more on the casual side. 

I was a flats bride myself because I’m probably the most clumsiest girl on heels you’ve ever seen!  My first pair is my favorite.  They also have them in high heels but Mr. Christian Louboutin needs to come up with more colors please!

Happy Friday Review!

I can’t even begin to explain how thankful I am for my clients.  There are so many planners out there that I always believe there is a reason and a certain client just right for you…for me, in this case.  Reviews like these make my day:

We utilized the professional, talented and flawless services of just wenderful for our july 30 2011 wedding and owe the flood of compliments and amazingness to her and her talented team of employees who love what they do and do what they love. from start to finish, wendy(of just wenderful) met and surpassed our expectations. wendy really became a friend and did so much more. always classy, never over the top, wendy really molds to the desires of her clients without being overbearing. her good taste, however, can lend a hand when (as we were guilty of) threw [at our first meeting] a boatload of mish-mashed (not wenderful?) ideas and expected her approval. she put us “in check” (which I appreciated so much) in the best way possible, told us what we needed to hear, directed us to the best vendors and really helped us create the most stunning, fabulous amazing wedding/celebration that both my wife and i couldn’t have ever imagined better. thank you for the amazing, tireless and stick-through-it spirit, Wendy, and thank you for being our friend and helping our dreams become reality. we really do owe it all to you.

So sweet!  I’ve fallen in love with all their images but haven’t gotten them yet but am super excited to share!  The photographers, Stephanie and Isaac of This Modern Romance, are going through some tough times.  Prayers and thoughts their way.
Healing thoughts and happy Friday everyone!  Count your blessings every day!

Basic Cupcake

I think this week might have a lot of “sweet” things in store for you.  First off, I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Kat from Basic Cupcake and she has the cutest cupcake-related items in stock!

Here are a couple of items that I just love!

I especially love these two:

Her stuff is available online as well as in The Wedding Pantry.  I stopped by this Saturday and started playing around with her display.  I want all of these!  I also need another reason to bake when trying to stick to a diet!

If you’re having cupcakes instead of a cake, this is an awesome way to personalize the decor!

Molly Sims Wed

Molly Sims wedding pictures recently came out on People and not only do I love her but she has great taste!

I love her blush bouquet and the different bridesmaids’ dresses.  I also know that Kathy of The Vintage Table provided her vintage tableware.  Go Kathy!  She was part of this shoot with us and we are so excited for her!  Can’t wait to see more details on the next issue!
