Lovin' 2011!

Happy New Year!  We ended the year with a big celebration at our house, including 72 poppers and masses of confetti sticks....I'll be finding confetti for years to come...in the strangest places! How did it get under the couch cushions?

2011 is off to such a fun start!  So excited to be working with such amazing couples, and so many cool projects in the works.  At the beginning of the month I was out scoping out a site for an upcoming photo shoot...an outdoor photo shoot at the beginning of February to be specific (could be interesting!). I saw this in the snow and took it as a great sign for 2011.
Was someone just lovin' the park that day....are they a fan of the white stuff....or maybe a fabulous proposal took place? (as a romantic I'm hopin' for the later)
Hope you're lovin' 2011 too....Happy New Year!
Cheers,
Julie

....these are a few of my favorite things (sing along)

While I love warm woolen mittens and whiskers on kittens, instead I thought I would share a few of my fave wedding things....

-Fab cheese displays, just love the big rounds on display

-A grooms tears as he sees his bride walking down the aisle


-Gorgeous textured linens & chair covers that are like high fashion designs

-Tons of candles, you can never have too many (well I guess until the fire department shows up)

-Platinum and ice blue for colors, with mirrors, and lots of candles

-Wine tasting bars

-Fabulous, fun clients!

What are favorite wedding things?
Happy Holidays!

Tacos for Thanksgiving!

Once again I'm headed south of the border over Thanksgiving. I am looking forward to the warm weather, sand and surf, but will definitely be missing family and of course the turkey!  Last time I was in Mexico over Thanksgiving they had one turkey that was just out for a display, I swear they just refreeze it and bring it out every year. Gross!

I am super excited that Frances, Frances Photography, and my friend and fellow wedding planner Aimee from True Wedding Events will be joining me in Mexico for Lisa and Franco's wedding. A few Sangria's and I'm sure we won't miss the turkey at all!

Lisa and Franco had a shower on 10/10/10 in Washington DC that actually was a surprise wedding ceremony (minus the official gown). Several family member aren't able to join us in Mexico, but we still wanted them to be part of their day.  Aimee lives in DC and agreed to help make sure the day went smoothly by being the day of wedding planner! 

We can't wait to post pics of Lisa and Franco's wedding!  We are so grateful to be part of every wedding and to work with great friends. So as we drink our Sangria and eat our tacos on Thanksgiving we'll be toasting you!   We hope you'll be able to take a beak from planning to enjoy your time with family and of course your adorable fiance!

Some fall flavor pics to set the mood for the week!



Have a bite of turkey for us!
