Winter Wonderland Wedding

Kristy Van Doren and Roy Batson were married at the Pacific Palms Resort in City of Industry, California. It was an all day affair for all of their family and friends with music and dancing going well over midnight.

The bride, Kristy had several ideas of how she wanted her wedding to look and feel. Her color palette was red, white, and black for the ceremony but wanted a "winter wonderland" feeling for the reception. Kristy & Roy wanted all their guests to have music & food at almost every area of their wedding. It was such a fun day working with such an awesome couple!

Here are some pictures of the evening by Joe Latter.

The bride had to wear VANS! Of course it was custom made with lace and sparkle to match her dress.

The First Look...

The Ceremony at the Gazebo was beautifully decorated with white roses and a touch of red roses. Lots of crystals and lots of feathers.

The cocktail hour was filled with a lot of the Bride & Groom's touch. Every glass served had their initials and you have to have an ice statue with their names!

Their Winter Wonderland Reception. The Bride wanted a wintery, blue feel for the reception room. The blue uplights definitely gave it that touch.

The Reception was followed by the After Party. The Pavilion was quickly converted into a fun atmosphere with different hats and boa for fun!

Congratulations to Kristy & Roy! It was definitely a fun evening and I wish them all the best in the future!

Thanks to all those who made the night run so smoothly!

Kiss me, I'm Irish.

Being that St. Patrick's Day is just around the corner got us thinking of the couples that incorporate St Patrick's as their wedding theme. Not only is St. Patrick's Day is a great time to celebrate Celtic heritage and have a great time with family and friends, but what a wonderful time to celebrate a wedding! Here are a few inspiration pictures of weddings that have incorporated GREEN.

Inspiration Board - Our Little Cupcake is Turning One

I can not believe how time flew by... My daughter, Kaylen is turning 1 next month! I was warned about this and was told by everyone to enjoy every minute because before you know it, they'll be all grown up. I know she's only turning 1 but seriously, I get so emotional thinking about how quickly this day came. I still remember clear as day coming home from the hospital with her. Oh, it's so bittersweet planning her birthday!! But nonetheless, it's a party and I am going full blown party planning mode. :)
So naturally, we have to have a theme for her party. I did a lot of research online and decided to go with cupcakes because just like cupcakes, my daughter is so sweet and you just want to eat her! No, not literally... ;) So here's a little inspirational board for "Our Little Cupcake" birthday theme!

Love is Sweet

The smell of LOVE is in the air and maybe because we are about a week out until that very special holiday called Valentines Day. I came across these amazing photos on Gabriel Ryan's Blog that he photographed with many talented artists in the wedding industry. Enjoy a very special evening with your loved one or create a "Single Awareness" Party with a group of girlfriends over some champagne and bottles of wine. You can be very creative with something over the top or just create a very chic and simple gathering by adding touch of flowers, candles and sweets. Either way love is being around loved ones and friends and of course, Love is Sweet.
Happy Valentines Day!
