Our Seasonal Season Parties: Winter Party Number 2

Those of you that have followed my blog for a while know that my husband and I throw a party at the start of every season. We invite some of our close friends, have a potluck, decorate with details that celebrate that season and my hubby creates a stellar playlist and we give a copy [...]

Heart Banners- perfect for Valentines Day!

I listed a few new heart banners to my etsy shop, just in time for Valentines Day.

These would be great for baby and bridal showers as well- or just for a cute little touch in your home!

There are also a couple of our Valentine Phrase banners left- I have one hanging in my bedroom right [...]

Melissa and Bryan’s Wedding at Rancho Las Lomas

Melissa and Bryan’s October wedding was one of my favorites all year. These two have great style and are sweet as can be, which made it easy to thoroughly enjoy helping them plan their wedding! Their wedding at Rancho Las Lomas was a great mix of sweet and spunky, loaded with great color palette and [...]

Lauren and Mark’s Seal Beach Wedding

I am still slightly in shock that it is 2010. I am looking forward to the year ahead and also am taking the time to look back at 2009. I have some great weddings that are still waiting to be blogged and I am excited to share them all with you!
First up is a cheery [...]

Joyful Joyful #11: Put a Ribbon on the Wreath (put it on the wreath, put it on the wreath)

Okay, this is funny: I just wrote: “Anyone know what song the title is from? First one to comment and tell me gets a high 5″ and then I shortly thereafter realized that I said pretty much the EXACT same thing on last year’s post about wreaths. Oh well, it’s a good song

Joyful Joyful #10: A Winter Holiday Soiree

I just spotted this on Snippet and Ink and had to share right away! This winter soiree was created by JM Flora, Merriment Events and Open Air Photography. It is absolutely lovely! The use of sheet music, craft paper, keys, tags and mercury glass is dreamy. Maybe I should re-do all of my Christmas decor…

Joyful Joyful #9: Winter Decor Inspiration

It rained here in Southern California this weekend. It was thrilling! I know most of you that live in other parts of the country (or world!) are probably rolling your eyes right now, but rain is a rare treat for us. We all bust out our sweats, turn on our fireplaces and suddenly do not [...]

Ynes and Ryan at The Westin South Coast Plaza

Our 2009 season was absolutely amazing and it could not have finished off better than it did with Ynes and Ryan’s wedding. A super sweet couple and wedding party, mixed with a great color scheme and a wonderful vendor team made for an incredible wedding. It was featured on The Wedding Chicks yesterday and you [...]

A Vintage Train Birthday Party

My son is in love with choo choos- any shape, any size, and color. He just goes nuts! So, for his second birthday party, there was no other option for a theme. I had so much fun creating this party and, more importantly, my son absolutely loved every minute of it! Be warned- this is [...]

Seasonal Season Parties: Fall Party 2009

It is finally feeling like Fall in Southern California (except for the 90 degree weather this weekend!)- as I look outside my window, I can see the wind blowing our tree and causing sweet little leaves to fall onto our front lawn. I am wearing a sweater and have already eaten some pumpkin pie. There [...]
