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….

I’m about two days from changing the website, I swear. I think part of the reason that I’ve been dragging my feet is that I really like my site, it’s just getting creaky. It’s time for a change, but, you know, I built it with my own two hands and latent html skills, and it…

If you go to the website right now, you can sign up to receive my Top Ten Tips for a Charmed Wedding. They’re really good. Honest!

The boy and I just spent a couple of hours sipping coffee and reading at B&N. And they’ve already set up a special table for wedding books and magazines. One that caught my eye was “The Knot Guide for the Mother of the Bride”. 108 pages, but I can sum it up for you in…

I got into a discussion about wedding dresses with my sister-in-law, and she told me that she once went to a wedding where the bride wore her mother’s wedding dress, which had also been her grandmother’s wedding dress. Yes, that tradition. And she didn’t change it anyway, either, so she was wearing a 50-year old…

I consider this part a public service announcement: The First Annual Chocolate Festival is being held in Ventura this weekend – www.vcchocolatefestival.org. Me and the boy are SO there on Sunday. Anyway, as wedding season is coming up fast, I’ve been thinking about expanding my services. I’m thinking about offering a service just for people…

So, this week, I’ve been hired to find a place to hold a birthday party in June. I love research, so it’s fun for me, but this stuff tends to be kind of frustrating for the person I’m working for. What you tell someone that you want, and the picture in your head can be…
