I have to admit that working in the wedding industry does have some major perks! And once in a while, I get to attend such a fabulous party that it takes my breath away! The other week, I had the opportunity to go to The Langham Huntington in Pasadena, California for a Royal Tea Party Hosted by Eddie Zaratsian, owner of celebrity florists Tic Toc Couture Florals. The details and decor at the party was gorgeous! It was a vintage french provence inspired theme with so many amazing furniture and details yet it looked so comfortable and welcoming. The textures consists of linen, burlap combined with the colors of white, honeysuckle and coral. The colors of the florals and the designs were so unique and gorgeous. I was definitely spoiled and enjoyed having high tea and soaking in the decor. There was live entertainment, an amazing photobooth, a buffet de fleurs, and dessert so beautiful I felt guilty eating them!
I owe this experience, all to my fabulous friend Thomas Bui who was the one that brought me as his guest to this event. Once in a while you meet someone, and instantly you just know that you will end up being good friends. Thomas and I met and just clicked right away. He is one of the sweetest and most generous people I know. Let’s just say, “He had me at hello!”
Here is a picture of Thomas and I in the photobooth!

The Buffet De Fleurs is such a unique concept, and I think would be so much fun either for a wedding or even a bridal shower! Tic Toc Couture Florals had their artists create custom hair pieces out of flowers that match the guests outfits. How cute would this be??

JJ & Jess are just absolutely adorable! Jessica is an actress in L.A. and JJ is a writer, they are like a match made in heaven and as down to earth as they come. I feel so blessed to get the opportunity to be a part of their big day. They are getting Married April 30th at the Santaluz Club which is one of my favorite venues in San Diego. It’s going to be fabulous!! I can’t give any details yet but you’ll have to keep checking back!
Jess is VERY talented when it comes to making things and crafts! She designed all the items and made the banner for their engagement session. I love it so much and Rachel of Studio Castillero did such an amazing job at capturing their love!
Thank you so much Rachel for the breathtaking pictures!
Jessica is an amazing DIY Bride and made this adorable banner! You can also find banners for your wedding in our Le Chic Wedding Boutique!

I love this set up and especially the chair! One of my design tips is utilize the furniture you already have or buy furniture you can use in your new nest and use it for your wedding as lounge furniture!
I love this black and white pic of them!
Okay wait, no this one might be my favorite!
Polaroids are making a HUGE comeback! Especially vintage looking ones!

To celebrate the 15th anniversary of the conclusion of the Bridal Fashion Week in NYC, The Knot teamed up with Preston Bailey & Monique Lhuillier. The end result, a phenomenal 11 foot floral sculpture bride with two french poodles (made of florals of course!)
The event took place inside Astor Hall at the New York Public Library. This takes fabulous to a whole different level.

The rich and famous celebrities are always chiming about how they are wearing Monique Lhuillier. How can you blame them. Her beautiful gowns are just stunning. I find them so classic and romantic but she is able to make them so modern. The good news is, Monique Lhuillier is designing a new collection for a streamlined audience and making her swoon-worthy gowns more affordable! Her collection will include wedding gowns, bridesmaid dresses, and evening gowns!
“To bring my design sensibility to a larger demographic of women who seek glamorous, modern eveningwear is an important milestone for me,” –Monique Lhuillier
