Rock-a-Frock

Okay- I just about fell on my face when I found out about this store that has the most ah-mazing designer frocks.  Which designers, you say?  How about Carolina Herrera, Monique Lhuillier, Tracy Reese, and the like.  Oh!  And it doesn’t stop there.  You can also take a designer handbag and some jewelry out on the [...]

Playlist | Babyfather by Sade

Recently purchased Sade’s new release, “Soldier of Love” and it is of course, another phenomenal one for the books.  I have a few favorites, but this song immediately hit me as being perfect for a father-daughter dance.  I’m a little obsessed with songs that are perfect for the father-daughter song because so many of [...]

Eye Candy | Glad You're a Grad!

We’re quickly approaching graduation season and the studio is abuzz with party ideas for graduation parties galore!  We’ve had some serious activity in the office and we’d like to share all the news, but let’s say that we’ll do it in small doses, eh?  Just know that I haven’t forgotten about my commitment to you and [...]

I never knew such a day could come
And I never knew such a love
Could be inside of one

But now that you’re here I know for sure

I never knew till I looked in your eyes
I was incomplete till the day you [...]

And We’re Live!

Okay- here I go.  So many things to say write about!  This is going to be a rough post and I’m not even sure how long it will be, but it’s imperative that you understand where I’m coming from and where I intend to go.  When 2010 began, I could feel this amazing energy surging inside [...]

Real Paper Love | Super Bowl Reception

On a whirlwind, an order was placed for our football ticket invitations at our Etsy store .  She needed 200 invitations for a Super Bowl Wedding Reception.  The order was placed 3 days before Christmas and she needed them ASAP.  Needless to say, I was under an enormous amount of pressure, but WE DID IT!  And [...]

Ceremony Venue | St. Ignatius Church

Hello dear readers! I hope your Christmas was a blessed one. We had a fabulous time visiting with my family and my husband’s side, as well. On Christmas Eve, we attended mass at St. Ignatius Church, in San Francisco. My brother-in-law and his wife were married back in December of 2007 at St. Ignatius Church. My [...]

Eco-Beautiful Wedding Photo Shoot- Part 2

We created an eco-chic vintage garden wedding with chunky crystal glasses, silver chargers, custom stationery, fabulous gardenia pin corsages, organic vanilla-infused sugar, ivory satin napkins, all on a beautiful tuscany colored tablecloth.

How green is this design?  The linens and flatware were rented, ensuring that these items would definitely be used again.  All the silverware and stemware [...]
