Candis and Anthony got married on Sunday, and a good time was had by all. The ceremony was at the Immanuel Community Church, and the reception was at The Grand, both in Long Beach. Candis and Anthony both had 10 attendants on each side, so the whole wedding party took up the entire front of…

It happens. It’s the wedding site of your dreams, but it has a curfew. Whether it’s because of neighborhood sound ordinance or the owners just want to to home early, sometimes you’ve only got a few hours to have a party. But don’t fret – it’s totally possible. Couple of things to keep in mind:…

One of my clients is just about to send out her invitations. She wanted to send directions from the church to the reception to just those guests living in California, and then give the out of state guests theirs at their hotel rooms. I pointed that it would be much easier to just send the…

…who are that most rare of creatures these days: Highschool sweethearts. The wedding was at the Oviatt penthouse on Friday, which is starting to feel like my second home. 125 people, chiavari chairs, and brown satin tablecloths and napkins. The colors were brown and various shades of pink – very beautiful, very elegant. They had…

So, the workshop went pretty well. Jen and Nate from B and G photography were wonderful, there was cake, questions were asked and answered, and now I’ve got to figure out how and when I’m going to do it all again this month. Big sigh of relief… There was also a bridal show, and always,…

I’m VERY excited. I’m getting a lot of vendors to give discounts to attendees: Not just a bridal shop, but a rental company, florists, my favorite bakery on the planet, a limo company, another company that makes Save-The-Date magnets, invitations, and just today, balloon decoration. And those are just the ones that I can think…

They just got married at Cicada on Sunday. Gorgeous wedding in an art deco setting – the chuppah was made of tree trunks draped with lily-festooned strings. Ceremony seating was in the round, which was the second time I’ve seen this done. I’ll post a picture just as soon as I get one. The chuppah…

…the gorgeous stuff people put together for them. I’m coordinating a wedding downtown tomorrow at this cool art-deco old-school place called Cicada. The bride hand-made these little tree branches with birds perched on them to b used to hold the table numbers. I’m not doing it justice, I’ll have to get pictures. And the centerpieces…

I’m going to be holding a wedding planner seminar called “Ask the Wedding Planner” on April 30th. Tentative location is at the Olympic Collection in West L.A. It’s basically going to be an extended Q&A session, where brides and grooms can come with their questions. And, oh, yes, there will be cake. And vendor discounts….
