When it comes to deciding on what to hand out to the guests as favors at your wedding, keep in mind that the old saying, “It’s what’s inside that counts,” DOES NOT hold true in this case.  It’s all about the packaging!  No matter what you decide to hand out - whether it be sweet treats, chocolate, a jar of honey, a compilation CD of you and your fiance’s favorite love songs - how you present it at your wedding is what will make the small gift memorable.

Wedding favors are just a petite way to thank your guests for coming to celebrate your loving union.  Believe me, it’s highly unlikely that they’d be unsatisfied with whatever it is you decide to give them, even if you’re heart is set on handing out pink polk-dot socks.  But if you have a pretty little box of individually wrapped chocolate truffles on each table setting, or a table lined with colorful take-home bags of cookies, it will add a little something to your overall wedding décor that will definitely be noticed.

So even though you love your fiance for what’s on the inside, just remember that when it comes to wedding favors, an attractive package is what will seal the deal!

           

          

     

Another beautiful wedding has come and passed.  The union of Annette and Jay was a truly joyous occasion, and the event itself came and went as fast as this summer seemed to go as well.

It was such a sweet occasion, with lovely light pinks and soft gold as the reigning color theme.

Everything was incredibly adorable, and perfectly bright and airy for the hot summer weather of July.

The bride seemed so serene the whole day. Maybe it was because she had all her loving bridesmaids surrounding her.

The groom was visibly having the best day ever!

All-in-all, it was an elegant and sweet affair, and we were honored to have been a part of it!

Congratulations to the happy couple!

Now that summer is coming to a bittersweet end, we are looking forward to the rush of Fall Weddings in the months of September, October, and November. This time of year brides and grooms can enjoy the luxuriously vibrant warm hues such as red, orange, and yellow.

But a new trend is headed under way this autumn. Many brides are opting for an elegant Black and White Hollywood Glamor theme.

This is a great time to explore this theme especially during the month of October, to delve into the macabre-chic vibe.

Our beloved teammember Jennifer got married!!  It was such a joyous event, and a pleasure to plan, especially when the bride is one of us.  It really gave us a chance to have greater creative freedom, which is always an exciting prospect. 

Here are some highlights of the beautiful day:

The photographer Kim Seidl utilized the gorgeous wishing tree (used instead of a guest sign-in book) to portray the wedding bands.

The wedding ceremony took place at the Anaheim Sheraton Hotel, which features a picture-perfect courtyard for the ceremony area.

The mother of the groom and bride both wore traditional Korean Hanbok gowns for the event. Here they are pouring sand into a shared vase to symbolize the lovely union during the Sand Ceremony.

The reception was absolutely stunning with tons of candles and river rocks everywhere. The head table was specially decorated with single peonies suspended in water.

The cake was every bit as delicious as it looked.

A beautiful bride and groom, along with their classy bridal party to top it all off.

What a memorable experience! Many wishes and blessings to the happy couple!
