Lisa & Kirk's Wedding | Part 1

I am so happy my friend Lisa asked me to help plan her dream wedding! Lisa and I go way back, we went to high school together and was in choir together all 4 years. :) I am truly honor to be such a big part of her special day because the wedding turned out to be way more then she had ever imagined. Let's just say that she cried a couple times that day and they were all tears of joy!

Lisa and Kirk got married at Casa Romantica in San Clemente and the reception was held at the Talega Golf Club nearby. Lisa has great taste and style and the color scheme for their elegant wedding was all in jewel tones. I'm sure the photographers enjoyed photographing them because the colors just pop!

Enjoy some of the photos taken by yours truly...
I can't wait to see the photos from Jan and Tey of Jan Garcia Photography. :)

Baby Luke

My best friend Anna recently gave birth to a beautiful bouncing baby boy. I really love photographing Luke. For some reason I think he knows I'm taking pictures of him because he like to smile for me a lot! I had to make a collage of some of the photos I took of him while he was napping. He is really the cutest baby ever! My best friend Anna also thinks he is the cutest baby ever but she is a little bias because he's her son. But really, he is the cutest ever! I just love him to pieces! I can't wait to see them again in a few days! Since the day he was 2 days old I've been coming over every week and taking pictures of him. He will be 3 weeks in a couple days. More picture time! Enjoy!

Mock-up Arrangement

I recently booked a wedding doing just the flowers since the clients already booked my friend Cat as their wedding coordinator. The bride has asked me to do a mock-up of the centerpiece for them. I absolutely love this arrangement because the flowers and the manzanita branch makes it so springy! I had a lot of leftover flowers so I had to do some flowers for my mom too! Enjoy!

Mini Red Velvet Bundt Cakes

I've been cooking since I was 5 years old but baking is a totally different animal. I've been doing a lot more baking lately though. I've done cupcakes and cookies before but now I am venturing into the more advance stage...mini red velvet bundt cakes! Check out the pics from my first batch!

Happy Mother's Day!

Every year for Mother's Day I am always busy making floral arrangements for my mom and friends and family. This year I had quite a few orders so I was busy running around all morning getting all the orders done and delivering them on time. I had 4 arrangements and 7 wrap bouquets to do in 2 hours. I think it was definitely a record for me! :)

This one was for my mom :)

Lucky Bee Paperie Collection

One of my favorite things to do aside from planning weddings and events is to make custom handmade stationery. I recently did some birth announcements for my friend Debbie's son Joshua. Check out his adorable picture on the front of the birth announcement. I also finished making my nephew Ethan's 4th birthday party invitations the other day. One of his favorite movies of all time is Tim Burton's "Nightmare Before Christmas". His older sister did a super cute drawing of some of the characters from the movie and their mom asked that I incorporate that drawing to the invitation design. Of course the color scheme had to be Halloween-like. Enjoy!

Nguyet & Danny's Wedding

My friend Nguyet got married last November but I never got a chance to blog about it. Nguyet will be helping me coordinate a wedding in a couple of weeks so this is a perfect time to blog about some of her work. Nguyet and I go way way back...back to 6th grade that is! Gosh, we've known each other for 2 decades now! I am totally dating myself now. :) Nguyet and I both took floral design classes together more than 10 years ago! We both have a passion for floral design ever since. Naturally she had to do all the flowers for her own wedding. Nguyet and Danny had a small intimate wedding with close friends and family at Danny's parents' home. Check out some of her work.
