Planning Tips :: More Signature Drinks!

When planning out your special day, you want to make sure your guests are going to enjoy your event.  After you’ve planned for so long and you’ve spent so much money right?  One of the tips I give my couples is that you don’t have to break your piggy bank with an all-night open bar.  I always suggest that if you have to have hard liquor, having signature drinks can be money-saving and add a nice, personal component to your decor.  Choose a his and hers favorite drink.  Extra points if they match your wedding color scheme!  Here are a couple pretty ideas I’ve found and absolutely love.

Come back next week to check out our all time favorite signature drink recipes!

Red, White, & Blue Wedding Inspiration!

Happy 4th of July everyone!
Ever thought about having a wedding on the 4th of July?
I was looking for some inspiration to make some patriotic baked goodies and instead I found some inspiration for a red, white, and blue inspired wedding. You’ll just fall in love with all the ideas!
Absolutely adore the image below, love is definitely in the the air!
Such a cute idea to have your bridesmaids in red and blue dresses.
 Red, white, and blue invitations go perfect with the wedding theme. So cute, right?

Love all the yummy desserts! Pies, themed cookies, and parfaits not only are perfect with the red, white, and blue colors but your guest will enjoy them. I know I would, they all look delish!
Finally, what better way to end a 4th of July wedding than with the some lovely sparklers.
Such a beautiful image of the bride & groom. Sparklers are definitely a great fit during the send off of the newlyweds and a great fit for the theme.
Aren’t you inspired now to have a red, white, and blue wedding for yourself? I know I am!
Have a safe 4th of July everyone!

Instagram Wedding Weekend :: La Venta Inn

This past weekend we had a gorgeous wedding at La Venta Inn in Palos Verdes.  M + S tied the knot in a beautiful celebration.  After months of planning, we were seriously awaiting this very special day.  Here are a couple teasers.

In love with this gorgeous bouquet by Pixie’s Petals!  This last one is just the sweetest of the couple!

Looking forward to sharing some more soon!

Our Latest Wedding Wire Review!

We absolutely LOVE and are always so grateful for our clients who leave us reviews!  Here is the latest one from Lorena and Octavio.


Wendy from Just Wenderful is amazingly talented, professional, and understanding throughout the entire wedding planning process! From the day my now husband and I met her we knew that we had to hire her. She was always organized, listened to our every need and ensured that we stayed within our budget. She gave us amazing vendor referrals and I have no complaints about who we hired. Most of all, Wendy’s creativity and vision was much more than anyone could ask for! Though I was indecisive about what colors/theme (and other things too–sorry Wendy!) to have for our wedding, she managed to stay true to our original vision and our wedding was beautiful, organized and stress free for myself, my husband, and the rest of our family!

The day of the wedding, her team: Rocio, Andrea and Jesse were fabulous! They teamed up with Wendy to make sure that everything ran smoothly and that we were on schedule for the days events. They handled difficult situations like the electricity going out very well and remained calm and collected at all times. They’re also a fun bunch and got along well with my family. Lastly, Wendy was able to do what many people can’t do: design and organize a modern Mexican wedding with a splash of tradition and a flare of fun and romance!

Wendy is Just Wenderful!

Also, I just found this piece of advise that I completely agree with!

Less than a week and a half to go until C + J tie the knot! 

Tuesday Shoesday!

As usual, I was on Pinterest when I ran into these beauties.  We are absolutely in love with these Valentino shoes! They define perfection, don’t you agree?  These shoes were featured in a wedding on Style Me Pretty and might I add, the wedding was drop dead gorgeous, see for yourself here.
  
Happy Tuesday shoesday everyone! 
We can’t wait until the end of the week is here, looking forward to Saturday’s wedding.

Happy Friday!

I can’t believe June and July has passed us right by!  Tomorrow we have a special wedding and I’ll be the guest and matron of honor.  Andrea and Rocio will be taking over and I can’t wait to see everything come together!

I love this picture!  FYI, she’s my cousin and close to my heart so the excitement has taken over!  Image by Clifton Photography. See more of these beautiful shots here.

Have a great weekend everyone!
