My very first bridal show took place this past Sunday at the Modern Day Bridal Show, held at the San Francisco Concourse. Everyone, including both the brides and the other participating wedding professionals, really enjoyed my booth. With the poppy-teal antique doors, fun photography, and beautiful albums, it was bright, cheery, and different. (Believe me, it took some time to organize it all, but I was very happy with how it turned out.) It definitely reflected my style.

We had a great turn out. Many thanks to all the brides - and moms, sisters, best friends, and husbands-to-be - for making our first experience fabulous. Don’t forget, March 30th I will be drawing the name of a lucky winner of a Photo Guest-Signature Book!

it's the little details that make the difference.

Thanks!

This past Saturday Viansa Winery held a social for their 2010 brides. In the cellar tables were set, each with a different color scheme to give a little inspiration to the brides. Jessica, creative director & owner of Fleurs de France, and I wanted to take advantage of this gorgeous setting and use this opportunity to delight our visual senses.

We had two very different themes - one was colored with cotton whites and muted yellow and the other a rich plum with silver and a pop of green. Both designs turned out beautifully and I had so much fun photographing all the details.

Many thanks to Jessica, from Fleurs de France, for creating these artfully designed floral arrangements and also an extended thank you to Viansa for your trust and support.

This series would be a great scheme for an outdoor spring or summer wedding. I can just imagine these tables out on a grassy knoll. Jessica incorporated some great ideas into her centerpiece with the rustic wood and leaf treatment. Be sure to take a close look at the tablecloth!

This next series fits beautifully in Viansa’s Cellar. The silver chairs are gorgeous against the deep purple and work very well with the Cellar color. Jessica made the most gorgeous centerpiece I have ever seen.

I had a very special meeting with Tracy and Jason over the Holiday Break. Special because this was our very first meeting and I probably will not see them again until the middle of next year - on their wedding day!

Tracy and Jason are getting married at Paradise Ridge Winery on June 25, 2011. This happens to be my wedding anniversary as well. By the way, Spencer, my husband, and I could not think of a better way to spend our anniversary than during a day celebrating the love of two people.

There are those little moments in life where I just stand back and say, “wow, I’m lucky.”

This past weekend was no exception.

Michael and Allison’s nuptial celebrations were nothing less than beautiful. From the outdoor ceremony nestled on-top of one of our beautiful Sonoma County knolls, surrounded by colorful vineyards and tall oak trees, to the reception celebrations under 140 year old olive trees, even the delicious mini-cupcakes sparkled in their own way.
