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!

Wedding Dessert

I think all the rave’s been dessert buffets rather than candy.  With dessert nowadays being designed so perfectly cute,  I can see why and how this trend will stick around for a bit longer.  Last Thursday we went to an open house in Yorba Linda at the Skyline Mansion and we found one of the cutest dessert buffets.  Not only does Andie of Ditzie Cakes design and does meticulous work on her sweets but she can also include an amazing backdrop for it.  As if these weren’t enough reasons, she also offers desserts infused with liquors.  I had a coconut cupcake infused with Malibu Rum, and yum!

Here was her display:

So adorable!

The sugar flowers are just perfect!  Andie also had truffle cake pops which were pretty much to die for.  The cupcakes were also not just yummy but too pretty to eat!

I love my cakes but if you have a dessert buffet that looks like this, I’m sure a cake won’t be missed!

Happy Friday!

Style Me Pretty is one of my favorite sites and when I ran across this photograph on their site I knew I had to share. Don’t you just love it? It’s so dreamy and absolutely beautiful!

The end of the month is here so what an amazing way to end the month with a picture that will leave you in awe.

P.S. October is a day away so don’t forget to start making your Halloween plans. I know I will!
Have a fun-filled weekend everyone.  Looking forward to tomorrow’s wedding!

Happy Friday!

Inspiration Boards :: Cobalt Blue Part I

After our last wedding of the year, we’ve already started designing for a couple of our clients next year.  Our bride for this one is in love with cobalt blue so we’ve worked on a couple color schemes for them.  We’ve already got the feel since they want to have a modern affair with some traditional Mexican touches.

The first one is definitely more fun and bright than the second and it reminds me of LeslieAnn and Schuyler’s Hotel Maya wedding.  The second is more soft and romantic.  There’s two more.  Check back next week and leave all the feedback you can .  We always to love hear what our readers have to say!

Happy Friday!

Today is our last installment of Audrey from The Bella Bambino’s guest posts. So bittersweet and so thankful for you Audrey!  She gets personal again and as you read, you’ll realize this should be part of the script from the recent Bridesmaids movie!

MOH Confessions

The MOH. The Maid of Honor. The chief bridesmaid. The Bachelorette Party Organizer. The Bridal Shower Planner…. The one who is going to hold your dress up so you can pee… THAT’S ME!!! My cousin and best friend is getting married and true to the pact we made as wee tots to be each other’s MOH’s; I am to be her MOH.                                               
This is a role that actually carries a lot of pressure. These are my confessions (did you hear the Usher song in the background?)
      
1.   Will my speech at the wedding be memorable or are you going to think it’s lame and overly sentimental? Let’s face it- when I heard you got engaged I blubbered like a baby out of pride and excitement.( I promise not to tell anyone about any of our wild times or include embarrassing photos in our photo montage.)
 2.  Is it wrong that when you told me you wanted an outdoors/chic/country wedding, I nearly had a panic attack worrying that you’ll ask me to wear cowboy boots and I’ll have to pretend to be excited? Ok… the boots I can take but what if you ask me to wear a hat too? That .Will. Kill. Me- like seriously!
3.       It’s a year away but… what if you turn into a bridezilla? OMG- I’ll be popping Xanax like candy!
4.       Is it wrong that I want to grill your fiancé (while I actually really think he’s a great guy) but still want to put the fear of God into him- that you mean the world to me and if he hurts you…
I. WILL. Hurt. Him.
5.        
      If I take you to Vegas for your Bachelorette party, the family will rip me a new one for corrupting you and our other cousins… what the heck am I going to do that’s still a blast? If we do a bridal party pin up shoot with RetroDolls, is that creative enough? 

6.       While I am so happy for you, I am already sick of the comments our aunts make about the fact that I’m the older one and I’m not married. I also am over the little side quips about “maybe you’ll meet someone at the wedding?” – did we forget that I already have a man-friend?   What if when you select the bridal party dresses, it’s a style that shows my tattoos and I’ll have to actually admit to grandma that I am secretly covered in ink in places I’m not supposed to be?    I’m in New York and you’re in CA, what if I can’t fly home often enough and you think I let you down as the best MOH ever?   I get that you’re “sister in law to be” was being nice by giving you the bridal/wedding planner/organizer but I felt like she was infringing on my MOH duties- I am competitive. I will out do her, all day, every day, and show her what a real MOH does.! (Who dat? Grunt and fist pumping just occurred.)

          

7.   Lastly,  I realize that you are probably going to play country music during your reception. My “I am enjoying it- this music is great” face is going to be fake. I am so not a country fan but because it’s your big day- I am going to be the best person in the line dance (if you have that…please don’t).

I wonder if her cousin will read this!?  I bet a lot of you out there can relate to her when you’ve been asked to be a maid of honor.  It’s a huge honor but it also comes with a lot of responsibility!  I’ve gotten a few phone calls from the maid of honors of a couple of my brides asking me what exactly are their duties.  I’d list the them here but then you might get overwhelmed.  Check them out here at The Knot.

Again, thanks Audrey!  Sad you’ve moved to NYC but so happy The Bella Bambino is doing great!  If you’re looking for flower girl and/or the cutest little girls’ dresses, you must visit her shop!  Hope everyone has a happy Friday and great weekend!  Can’t believe Thanksgiving is almost here!

Stay tuned for an awesome giveaway next week hosted by the lovely Audrey!


Thanksgiving on Skid Row

Happy Monday everyone!  I wanted to share a little project I’ve always wanted to but never got around to.  This year I’m doing it!  Even this time around, I started a bit late, I’ll take what I can get.  I’ve started a page on Go Fund Me where you can read all the details. 

I forgot where I read this tweet, but it talked about America’s new poor being those same people that once donated to food banks.  I thank God I still have food on my plate, am in pretty good heath, and have all the love in the world I can ask for.  In a nutshell, this is what I’ll be doing this Sunday:

“I’m raising money to buy PB J sandwiches, a fruit, and some of sort of drink to hand out the weekend after Thanksgiving to the homeless on skid row.  We’ll be driving all over Downtown LA handing out paper bag lunches to those in need and anything helps!

It’s not a huge event, but I figure as long as we have 500 bags, 500 people will be happy.  I’ve always wanted to do this and although I started late, I have a feeling we’ll get this done!  Every dolla makes a difference!”

Can’t believe in a couple of days, we’ve raised $185!  Friends and family have donated the paper bags and 500 drinks already.  I cannot even explain how happy this makes me.  We also have all the volunteers needed.

We’ll be taking donations up to Friday so you still have time!  Visit our page here and before you go shopping this Black Friday, think about donating even a dollar to help feed someone who is homeless and cold out on the streets of LA.

Inspiration Board :: Cobalt Blue Part II

Here we are again with more cobalt blue inspiration boards.  Such a striking color that goes well with so many colors!

Although I love how clean it pairs with white, I’m totally in love with this next one.

Isn’t it gorgeous!?  After making these and these we talked about last week, our bride decided she was going to stick with the first board we ever made for her which is great!  Sticking with your gut feeling is almost always a great idea.  We’ll share that board next week.

Which has been your favorite so far?
