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??

Ever since I was a little girl, I would always wonder, “Somewhere out there is a guy out there that holds the key to my heart” and I would wonder what he would be doing! I know I’m such a romantic at heart. When I met my husband, who is 10 years older than me, we would joke about how when I was playing hopscotch, he was already driving around picking up girls! It’s so amazing how life works. Some days I just like to sit around and think about how everything in my life fell into place, how the universe works with the people we meet, the friendships we make, the person that we end up marrying. Okay well I will get to the tablescape already!
I came up with the theme “Key to My Heart” for San Diego Style Weddings Magazine because I thought it was just so romantic. I went with a vintage parisian garden theme. I’m sure you have noticed how Burlap is just SO-IN right now. I have this exact tablecloth on my dining room table right now! A lot of the trinkets that you see are real antique items from the personal collection of Whimsy Florals. I always tell my clients that want an “vintage” theme to scour their parents and grandparents basement or garage and I be they will find so many hidden treasures. (That’s what I did at the florist’s home!) Also, don’t forget to hit up swap meets and antique stores! It’s all the little trinkets that add such charm to a table design. You don’t have to do it for every table, just focus on different areas and vamp them up and you’ll have your guests swooning away.
In case you haven’t heard, we have been a little busy lately and just launched our boutique! Le Chic Wedding Boutique! It has so many accessories that you can use to add the details and make your wedding stand out. The best thing is we really try to hand pick items that you can keep and incorporate it in your house after. It’s a nice way to remind you of your wedding day! And for my readers out there, you can save 10% this month!

Patty & Alfonso are one of my adorable couples that are getting married in December. I’m one of those hopeless romantics that believe in fate, and this couple were just meant to be. We had so much fun designing her wedding. Her wedding theme is butterflies and though I can’t give away all the details, let’s just say, it’s going to be fabulous! We have to thank Kristy Rice of Momental Designs for that! After Patty, sent me the pictures to her beautiful invites, I knew her style right away. We designed all the details to the wedding with her invitation as our inspiration. I just had to share these amazing invites!
I am absolutely in love with Kristy’s work! They specialize in custom hand-painted invitations!
Wedding Colors: Blush Pink, Light Gold, Champagne, and Bling!

The Bridal Bazaar was a success! It is always so fun to work at and I love the chance to see all my favorite vendors! This year, the Bridal Bazaar asked me to design a table for their event gallery. I named my table Chic Soiree. My colors were Silver, Pink, and Green. I wanted to create a romantic table that has a modern vintage feel to it. My inspiration is a Modern version of Marie Antoinette. For our honeymoon, we went to Paris, and visited the palace in Versailles. It was absolutely stunning. It made me really regret not registering for China dinnerware! Here are some pictures, I hope you enjoy!
