I saw this on The Knot this morning…..isn’t this such a fun idea?! This bride put a small video camera in her bouquet! So fun to see things from her (well her bouquet’s) perspective all day! LOVE THIS! Have a great weekend everyone! ~Candice

9/15/2012: mindy and mike’s wedding day!

It’s not every day that you get to watch one of your dearest friends tie the knot! September 15th was a warm summer day, perfect for a wedding! Playing a double role of Wedding Coordinator and Matron of Honor wasnt an easy task, but with my two amazing assistants, Kelly and Julie, the day started…

real wedding: hannah and loyd 8/3/2012

Hay bales, burlap, and a barn! Hannah and Loyd’s wedding day was anything but ordinary! Strawberry Farms was the perfect venue for this natural, rustic event. Wanting an event that showcased their style, Hannah and Loyd focused on the details. Simple touches like the barn-style wood head table, the vintage outdoor lounge furniture, and the…

trunk show alert!

2013 brides, it’s time to begin the search for that dress! A trunk show is a great place to start the search and in the next few months there will be a few great ones to attend! Though they happen all year, October-March is “trunk show season” so plan to attend a few to find…

trend alert: chevron print

This modern, retro inspired pattern is everywhere right now, and don’t you just love it! Such a fun twist on an events decor! I am so in love with all of the chevron wedding pieces! Table runners, backdrops, and invites, all adorned with this “v” shape pattern. I’ve even seen it pop up on ring…

“just married” send off!

It’s the end of the reception, and the final photo opportunity for the bride and groom, why not go out big?! The “send off” is back! There are so many fun ways to exit your celebration! Years ago guests would throw rice as you left the party, now that rice has been replaced with flower…

sofreh focus

Hands down, Persian weddings are some of my favorite events to coordinate! The celebrations are always amazing! Guests arrive decked out in evening wear, EVERYONE is dancing all night, and the decor is always beautiful! I’ve been blessed to have worked with so many Persian brides, and they all have been such a pleasure to work…

color focus: mint green

Fresh, flirty and fun, Mint Green is a great addition to your wedding color palette! Picture a spring wedding, mint green bridesmaids, groomsmen in grey and all white flowers…. stunning! Mint also goes very well with black and white, or with grey and peach. Mint and burlap is also one of my favorite new combos! Here are…

great wedding app alert!

Before I got my IPhone, I really didn’t see what all the fuss was about. I could do everything I needed from my blackberry! (or so I thought!). Months later I have been introduced to so many great wedding apps that can come in so handy! I actually started a list of the ones I…

my new space!

A few months ago Brian and I were talking about moving me into a new office. Though it’s been great working from home, I was ready to have a “home base” to have meetings and consultations, and also a way to save me some driving time going from place to place meeting with my clients….

5 unique wedding favors

Raise your hand if you have about 10 bottle openers or coasters in your drawer from last season’s weddings you attended? Of course you do! So do I! Yes these favors are cute, and for a great wine themed wedding they are appropriate! But, I’m asking you to think outside of the box! There are so many…

color focus: coral

Not quite orange, not really pink…. coral is one of this seasons biggest colors! Bright, warm and a little playful, this color is perfect for weddings! One of my best friends, Mindy, is getting married in September. We are using coral for her big day and I cant wait to see it all come together!…
