Vanessa & Ryan's Wedding Video by Cloudless Cinematography
This was our first time working with Cloudless and we were extremely impressed with working with them. We received this edited clip of their wedding within 2 weeks, which is a wedding planners dream. This wedding took place on a very rainy day and we were forced to put up a tent last minute. We also were blessed by being able to hold her expected outdoor ceremony, inside the beautiful El Montecito Presbyterian Church. We were able to give this gorgeous bride the wedding of her dreams, in spite of the bad weather! We hope you enjoy this short wedding video, and we look forward to working with Cloudless again.

Backyard Bridal Shower
We had the honor of hosting a lovely bridal shower for a dear friend of ours in our own backyard. When we first began dreaming of what this party might look like, we were inspired by the gorgeous Tribal Thread Linen by La Tavola. We loved the color theme of yellows and blues and began designing around the idea. Here is the inspiration board that Kaitlin had originally put together before the event:
And now, I am very pleased to share these gorgeous images from Michael & Anna Costa Photography with you of the finished product. It is truly amazing to see our designs come to life, especially when I feel we have really captured our vision.
A very special thank you goes out to Nico Designs for providing us with such abundant and lovely flower arrangements. We would also like to thank Michael & Anna Costa for sharing these stunning photos!

Summer Loving Inspiration
We have always been head over heels for the "Dandelion" Table Linen from La Tavola! So I created this inspiration board to show what La Fete would do with this fun table design! I love the contrast of the Grey, Yellow and Turquoise and think this look would be perfect for an outdoor brunch or bridal shower!

Real Wedding Featured on Style Unveiled
When we first met Nadia and Joe we were intrigued by the fact that they were both in the fashion industry and felt it needed to be incorporated into their wedding as much as possible. Both Nadia and Joe were so passionate about their wedding details that it made the planning flawless. The concept of constructing a fashion runway for the ceremony aisle was a great way of getting the wedding party involved and the crowd loved it. We upgraded the Four Seasons Biltmore's chairs which made a huge difference to the overall design of the room. The white wedding was accented with touches of blush to create depth in the floral arrangements which were provided by Ambient Event Design. A special thank you goes out to BB Photography for capturing such beautiful images. To see the full post, please visit Style Unveiled for more fabulous wedding details! Tuesday, April 19, 2011
Wedding Bliss at Ojai Valley Inn & Spa
I adore this photo of our bride and groom right after their ceremony! There is so much happiness, excitement, and joy on her face and as a planner that is what we hope for with every client. This couple chose to hire us for our finishing touch package, so she hired her own vendors and then we made sure that everything went smoothly on her wedding day! Working at the Ojai Valley Inn & Spa was fabulous, the grounds are spectacular and make amazing backdrops for photos. Ojai Valley Inn is the perfect getaway for your destination wedding.

Hair and Make-up~Only with a professional please!
Today we would like to share with you about the importance of hiring a great hair and make-up artist. We can't tell you how many times we have heard a bride say "My friend is going to do my wedding make-up" and how much that can truly affect the rest of the bride's day. The Hair and Make-up Artists are the first vendors that the bride will interact with in the beginning of the day and if they are late, rushed, or don't know exactly what they are doing, the wedding day is off to a rough start. Often this affects us as the planner, and the bride often looses quality time to spend with her photographer prior to the wedding ceremony. Some photographers refuse to shoot a wedding if the bride does not have her hair and make-up done by a professional, because the quality of their work will not show if the bride is not looking and feeling her best! This is why we are offering a hair and make-up trial to any bride who books our full service planning package in month of April. You will experience the highest quality of service with our favorites: Marci Deming Make-up; and for hair Andrea Ridgell of Mishay Hair Salon. The brides who hire them look absolutely stunning until the very last dance of their wedding night. Marci's make-up NEVER fades, and Andrea's hair styles NEVER fail. Here are a few photos of our very happy brides:

A Better Way To Use Mason Jars!
We all know that mason jars became very popular for centerpieces in the past year... So lets break out of this mold the mason jar has created and use them as a fabulous container for favors! Whether you fill it up with something home-made such as a favorite family cookie recipe (minus the eggs of course!) or filled with honey from a local source, when they are properly labeled and decorated they can be absolutely adorable.
