Emily and Aaron's Wedding

Emily and Aaron were married on May 14, 2011 at Saddlerock Ranch in Malibu.

Here are some of my favorite shots from their beautiful wedding. 

This cool and talented couple thought about every detail - they brewed their own beer, created mustache straws for the Izzy sodas, created cute bags to hold fresh carrots, (approved by Saddlerock) so the guests could feed the horses, plus a cute cake topper with a bride and groom on snow boards (their favorite sport).

The guests dined under twinkle lights and chandeliers and after dinner they danced the night away. I wish this couple all the happiness in the world.

A few of my favorite things

Just returned from Japan last Friday, still recovering from the 16 hour time difference - wow.

I have been asked to design 15 new table designs for one of our clients.

The process of pulling together elements to create theme inspired table designs has been a lot of fun.  More to come on this subject.

This week's blog is inspired by the holidays. I enjoy this time of year and seeing what the dress designers are showcasing this season.

Here are a few fun cocktail dresses as well as a cool clutch that caught my eye - there were a lot to choose from but, I have to save something for next week!

If you or someone you know is looking for a wedding dress under $1000,

we found a few dresses on Nordstrom's web site.

In fact, there were a few for under $200.00. 

Inspired by the Royal wedding, this dress is called JS Collections 'Duchess' Wedding Gown and it sells for $698.00.

Have a great weekend!
