Photobooth Fun!

Every time we have a photobooth at a wedding I'm reminded how much they rock! Last weekend at the TnT wedding there were people in it all night long. We ended up extending and keeping it going for 6 hours. You can get a double strip of color or black and white photos, one for the book and the other for the guests. The guests just can't get enough and the bride and groom will get some unforgetable photos of their guests having a blast! Thanks so much John from Pro Finish Designs...the photobooth was a huge hit!

Flower girl or junior bridesmaid

I am always asked questions about the flowergirl position. You do not have to have a flower girl in your wedding, but if you'd like one they can be any age. We find they are typically 3 - 9 years old. If you'd like to include a girl that seems (or feels) to big/old to be a flower girl, you can make her a junior bridesmaid. The jr. bridesmaid would typically wear a dress similar to the bridesmaids, possibly the same color, while the flowergirl will typically wear a dress that matches the bride, white or ivory, possibly with a sash or flowers to compliment the maids dresses! Have fun with it...it is your wedding!

A Bright Touch

Most of you know that I am a huge fan of lighting. Theatrical Lighting can actually help to create a mood during a ceremony or reception. I'm also a huge fan of decorative lighting. I've collected almost every color of Chinese lantern and I've done monochromatic looks to rainbow and Chinatown looks. The hanging Chinese lantern can actually make a room feel more intimate and bring a ceiling down so you don't feel like you are in a gymnasium!

It's Officially Wedding Season

You know how it works...when you have too much on your plate, you accomplish more than ever. We've had several weddings already this year and are starting to get photos back from them. Following is the first "Spring" Wedding, officially kicking off the season. Jenn & Josh were fabulous to work with. They had a beautiful ceremony and reception at Granite Bay Golf Club with a subtle Disney flair. See if you can find some of our "hidden Mickeys"!

Feature Wedding in Magazine

It's always thrilling to see your weddings in magazines and I am lucky to have one of mine featured in the new issue of Sacramento Magazine's Our Wedding. Make sure you take a look at it: It was a fabulous Indian wedding that was earlier this year. Anu and Mithu were a joy to work with and they added lots of personal elements to make the wedding reflect their unique style. It was a multi-day event with customary Indian ceremonies that led up to an amazing Sikh wedding with 700 guests and culminated with an evening reception at the Radisson in Sacramento. The evening reception started off with a hign school marching band leading the bride & groom into the room. Amazing lighting, gobos, fabric swags, custom mongrams, and creative florals by Flouish added to the glitz. As the evening continued the food was abundant and the dancing and festivities continued into the night. It was a night to remember...for the couple, the guests, and definately for my staff. Happy Reading!

Some New Finds!

I've decided to add a new page to my website and call it my "store". I'm going to offer some unique items for the bride and others who might want to add some excitement to their party or event. The Couture Candy Station is my first item, but keep an eye on it for more will come!

I'm constantly surfing the internet trying to find new "cool" items for my brides. I've decide to start listing some of the interesting things that I have found. The "links" list is at the bottom of my blog page.

I'll be travelling next week and spending time with my family for the holiday. I'm excited about the wedding in the Poconos Mountains that I've been working on...it's a joy to be a part of any wedding, but especially memorable when the wedding couple will continue to be a part of your life. I'll keep you posted on that exciting wedding and hopefully have some great photos when I return.

Talk soon!
