One of the first words I think of when I hear ‘Chanel’ is classic. Her timeless pieces attract generation after generation of women. Every item is eloquently designed for exquisite beauty.

So, if you’ve read my bio you know that I find wedding inspiration from everything! After seeing this interior design picture from Décor Pad I couldn’t resist making a wedding inspiration board.

Here’s how this story goes:  I go out with friends and the hubby to see a concert at Ace of Spades and fall madly in love with this funky, yet swanky night club venue. Two months later, I am asked to plan an Association for Bridal Consultants Dinner for our August meeting. As is typical […]

I’m going to have to find a new way to brag about Phill Sheffield of Phillip Alan Films. I’ve done it so much lately, I’m afraid my words may be becoming redundant. Phill is a true artist in his craft and this highlight video is another superb example of this. Thank you  again for the […]

Kami & Dan were married this September at the Harvest Inn in St. Helena, just on the border of Napa. I can’t even pick the most beautiful aspect of this day ~ the bride, her Rosa Clara dress, the scenery, the decor…they were all stunning and stood out to me as some of the most […]

When it comes to winter palettes, I like to go outside of the traditional color schemes and into something warm yet lively. It’s no question that purple was one of the hottest trends in 2010, and according to the 2011 trend forecast, just one shade of this lovely color will be sticking around and that’s […]

Amira & Jon were married at a private residence in Folsom on June 26th and it was an evening to remember, to say the least.
