I cant believe the day has finally come and gone. After months of hard work, planning and preparation - Michelle and Doug are married. I'd been working with this couple, their family and vendors since early this year, and it was starting to seem like this day would never come. After many meetings and discussions with the florist, photographer, linens and other industry professionals we pulled it off and everything looked phenomenal!
The wedding and reception took place at my job, with the ceremony on our front lawn and the reception on our tented pool patio. Michelle and her family wanted a really grand tent and after several discussions with the rental company. the resulting tent was stunning and beautiful. Another breathtaking sight was the Chuppah which was simple and elegant, but it was the icing on the cake.
The great thing about working with Michelle was that she was not a bridezilla, but she knew exactly what she wanted and would settle for nothing less. She was very enthusiastic, always greeting me with a hug. The overall concept for the wedding was old world romance, using warm golden colors like sand and champagne and accents of peach and rosy pinks. Michelle also found some great pearlised sea shells that she wanted to incorporate into the theme, which also really tied into being on the marina.
The end result left everyone speachless. When everything was complete it was truly a sight that left you lost for words. All the guests kept commenting on how great everything looked, but to be honest the wedding would have been nothing without the individual vendors who worked as a team to bring everything together:
Floral: Blooming Designs
Chuppah: I love Chuppahs
Photography: Amy Williams Photography
Tent: Pico Party Rents
Linens, Chiavari Chairs: Designer Specialty Linens
Entertainment: Red Shoe LA, Rossi Music
Videographer: Kolkey Productions

Now that I've moved to LA, i get to spend more time with my friend Taliah, one of old dorm roomates. A few nights ago, Taliah came over and i made us a quick dinner (Stouffer's Garlic Chicken Pasta :-) ) and then we went just a few blocks up the street to Yogartland. It was sooo good and super packed for a Wednesday night, but the most alarming thing was that everybody seemed to be rockin' high heels. And not just tiny kitten heels or basic black pumps like you would wear to the office. Real, 3" or higher heels.
So after a few "ooh her shoes are cute" and "wow I love those boots," I realized that while we were both sporting Uggs, everyone around us was dressed like this was an episode of "the Hills." Clearly we didnt get the memo that LC and Camera crew might be stopping by (no not really).
I remind myself over and over that LA is a fashion show. The city is pretty much 'get in where you fit in, or get lost' and I dont want to get left behind. Even my mom recently commented that it's time for me to embrace being a young lady and have fun with my clothes instead of always relying on jeans and flip-flops (gee, thanks mom). So while I usually reserve my high heels for the club or special occasions, I need to integrate them into my everyday life.
I told Taliah then and there that "I've got to step my shoe game up." And I'm serious! Im on a mission to get at least 5 pairs of great looking heels before summer so that come Tuesday, Wednesday, or any given night, you can catch me at Yogartland rockin' heels with the rest of em'.
I WILL NOT LOSE!
