April 1, 2012 was a very Lucky Day for Daniella and Larry as they were married in front of 190 family and friends at the Coronado Community Center yesterday.

The day was beautiful and sunny and no one was smiling more than the Bride as Daniella walked down the aisle on her Father’s arm to her awaiting handsome Groom.  Personal touches were everywhere, including a custom caricature of Larry’s romantic proposal on the Spruce Street Bridge.  Daniella surprised Larry with a gorgeous Ice Sculpture of their bridge, which was such a huge hit with the guests!

But that wasn’t the biggest surprise of the night as Daniella ask all the guests to help her serenade Larry with the words from”Happy Together” by the Turtles. (Even I joined in!)

Thank you to all the amazing vendors that made this day perfect for the happy couple.

Yesterdays Bridal Show at the La Jolla Woman’s Club was so beautiful! Dispite the rain that began just as the show came to a close (not so fun for the vendors trying to pack up and go home), the whole event was so well organized and I had the oportunity to say Hello and reconnect with so many wonderful San Diego Vendors that I know and love working with.

I did get the chance to meet and talk with 3 very interesting Brides and Grooms, and 1 Mother and Father of the Bride about their upcoming weddings at the La Jolla Woman’s Club. I offered a free Budget or Calendar Worksheet Consultation as well as a preferred venue discount on any of my Coordination Packages.

The best part of any Bridal Show is designing a fun and eye catching table-scape with a few of my San Diego Soiree members.

At this show I of course teamed up with the very talented Irene Gonzales of A Perfect Table to showcase her gorgeous linens (you can’t have a beautiful table with out them!) and together we designed the details for all the coordinating event tables. We chose a twist on the traditional vintage look but using Carmel Shantung as the floor length linen and her new beautiful Silver Mina Vintage Lace overlay that gives the design an old world feel. The carmel napkins were wrapped using a tight pearl cluster napkin ring, and the backs of the silver chiavari chairs (provided by Best Rentals) were drapped in a custom cap made from the same silver lace and the chair pads were custom made with silver shantung fabric.

We asked Jennifer Campbell with Third Bloom to create a few stunning floral arrangements for our tables, and she went above and beyond with what we hoped for! All the little details of flowers goes a long way. I loved that Jen handed out a long stem rose to all the Ladies that attend the show!

Tammy Johnson with Candy Girl Candy Buffets created a delicious candy bar display with just the right touches and candy assortments to make the guests at the Show feel like a kid again. Jenn Ragusa with Pink Star Design custom made all the candy bar signs and the cupcake and table sign that showcased all the vendors hard work. Thank you so much ladies!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Speaking of cupcakes, Sweet Cheeks Baking Company provided us with 2 dozen delicious cupcakes for our cupcake tower. (One was actually missing at the end of the show and I don’t blame the lucky recipient who enjoyed it on the way home) . The cupcake boxes were hand crafted by A Perfect Table (you can now get your own custom cake stands made to match your table linens from A Perfect Table!), and A Dream Wedding Invitations and Accessories provided the die cut silver lace cupcake liners.

To add the final elegant touch, we asked Maria Harman of San Diego Events Lighting to provide warm amber uplights to showcase our tables in a warm and elegant glow. (see photos above)  Lighting is so important and one element of and event that should not be over looked. (Maria also provided a custom Gobo design and bright pink uplights for the ballroom to make all the rooms pop with color at the the Bridal Show)

Thank you to Sharlene Thompson, Executive Director of the La Jolla Woman’s Club for inviting us to participate in this wonderful event!

I can’t wait to see which couples from yesterday contacts me to help them have their Dream Wedding at the La Jolla Woman’s Club!
