Traditional favor still hot

Not just for smoking....the traditional matchbook is a fun, creative way to carry on the monogram theme in your wedding. Matchbooks are hard to find these days so guests like to pick them up. They're a great keepsake!

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"!

Holiday Craze

Hi Everyone!
We are a week+ into the new year and things have finally settled down from the holiday craze. We had a wonderful time with family and friends celebrating the Christmas holiday, New Years Eve, and then a family birthday celebration our home. As most of you know hosting a party is a wonderful, yet demanding job, and I'm not great about 'keeping it simple'. Yet, we all made it through and now my house is back to normal, all 22 totes packed away in storage and the attic. I hope all of you have a wonderful and prosperous New Year...with many new posts to come!

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!

A Family Wedding in the Poconos

We are home from the Poconos; a lovely Thanksgiving with lots of family and a perfect wedding. Diane and Dave were married on Saturday at the lovely 250+ year old Shawnee Presbyterian Church. The reception followed at the Shawnee Inn with a wonderful 5-course dinner and lots of mingling and dancing. It was a perfect day and a wonderful week for our family.

With the final wedding complete for 2008 we are looking forward to the holidays and a busy 2009. We are back home and preparing for the holiday season. We encourage our brides to take it easy in December and we follow our own advise. Our December schedule will be Tues-Friday, from 11am to 3pm. We will be checking emails and voice mails continually, but may be a bit slower in our response.

Don't forget to support the Davis Boy Scouts and Brycen's Troop 66. The Wershings will be working at the Boy Scout Christmas Tree Lot on Thursday, December 4, from 5-9pm and on Saturday, December 20, from 9am to 1pm. Come on by and say "hello" and pick up your tree, or if that time doesn't work out come by anytime. Thanks for your support!

Happy Holidays!

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!
