Girls Just Want to Have Fun When You’re With Melissa and Brandon

To Live, Laugh and Love are the best words to describe this beautiful woman Melissa.  This girl is crazy, sexy and everything cool, just one day with her will hypnotize you.   I forget at times she’s an attorney because she is down to earth.  Upon meeting her we immediately connected.  Our relationship surpassed from being her planner to being one of the girls in her clique. 

Melissa was all about elegance and it showed in her details for of the wedding from choosing the venue then to picking the flowers.  I could not wait until her wedding day to see her vision unfold.  And the photos from Dave Kim are amazing.  Despite the rain nothing could stop this girl and her clique from having the day of her life.

Thank you Melissa and Brandon for showing me how to party for choosing me to plan your wedding. You two rock!

Elizabeth and Aaron Vintage Details To Their Wedding

Every bride I have worked with has flair, finesse and their own styles.  I've learned the value of creating your wedding to fit your personality and not what the world tells you through magazines and television shows.  Elizabeth was full of details and was serious about recreating a vintage wedding to fit her style.  I was impressed when Elizabeth took the task of designing her own wedding dress.  I was not going to stop her since she studied fashion and is a technical designer.  She walked me through her vision of holding the ceremony at the church she grew up in then from decorating the reception with natural flowers and for collaborating with her awesome mom Karen to knitting handmade dollies.   This family is so talented and fun to work with!  She even sent me her Pinterest Board.  Oh I loved working with Elizabeth and to see every detail of her wedding made me feel I was with her every step of the way. 

The wedding day could not be more perfect as you can see below in the photos.

Thank you Elizabeth and Aaron for choosing me to coordinate your wedding.

Interchangable Styles with One Dress

Pretty Girls Rocks and this pretty girl rocked this dressed! I love to dress up for any event especially weddings. I rarely have the opportunity to attend a wedding as a guest so I try to look for dresses that accentuate my body type due to my height and hourglass figure.
I remembered one of my past clients found a designer through Etsy that designed her convertible bridesmaids dresses. I decided to contact Charissa Goerge from Etsy for a dress. It was pretty short notice but she had the perfect dress for me.

The dress wowed many of the guests once I walked into the ceremony area. Also GStar did my hair and makeup to add to my look for the day.  I decided to order another dress for future events. This is a must have items for every woman because you can change it into 13 different styles and quite cost-effective.
Below are some photos that were caught of me at Normel’s Wedding on September 14th. I was able to move freely around the wedding in style.

So please enjoy the photos.

The Start of Something New

I thought it was about time to put a little twists to my blog postings. You've heard endless love stories of my past couples from our initial meetings then to looking for vendors and lastly you've received a glimpse of their wedding day from beginning to end. Every story is personal and unique but they are easily written. Now, this post will be the start of something, finally it's about me and my family.

I would love to introduce you to my lovely daughter Shamiah and my wonderful boyfriend Derrell.

We were blessed to had worked with one of my favorite photographers Susan Shek. She's such a joy to work with.  I knew she would be able to capture us in our true essence. There every image she captured our joy and love for one another. We were able to be ourselves and just have fun despite the freezing temps. There were plenty of teeth shattering that day. Lol.

Some of you have met my little assistant Shamiah on some appointments (from dress shopping to venue meetings) and some have heard about Derrell in conversation but I thought what better way to show them off is by having a family shoot. This is another side of me I wanted to show you and how I love my family.

Derrell has been everything Shamiah and myself have prayed for and we look forward to what God has in store for us.  There is more to talk about but I leave that for another day...

To be continued until...the engagement!

The Connections of Fentyshia and Lamond Daniels

From time to time, I browse through my past emails to kindly ask about their wedding process planning of past potential clients that inquired of my services.  This particular email I received a delightful response from Fentyshia of my day of coordinator support.  Many times a friend or a family will offer support for a wedding but easily something else can come up that would be of more importance.  It’s best to go with a professional because our top priority will be you and your event.

As Fentyshia met with me, I immediately dived right into every detail of her wedding.  Working with the Fentyshia and Lamond felt like old time friends.  The wedding turned out beautiful and the connection we formed could not be separated.

Thank you Fentyshia and Daniel for choosing me to coordinate your wedding,
