Congratulations to Francesca & Andres


Wow! What a Wedding in Los Cabos, Mexico! 3 days of events, 120 guests, 17 musicians, over 60 vendors, a rockin band that had everyone on their feet! Amazing! Felicidades to Mr. and Mrs. Andres Diana! A stunning couple that just had so much fun.
Can't wait for all the pics - more to come soon!

And a sweet note from the Mother of the Groom hot off the press:

Dear Angela:

Thank you so much for your hard work in making sure everything went smoothly. It couldn't have been better. The arrangements were beautiful. The band was phenomenal, everyone loved the music. The service at Cabo del Sol was impeccable and the beautiful chargers were well worth the extra money. The guests commented on what a great idea it was to have the coolers while they were waiting for the ceremony to begin.

It was truly a pleasure meeting you and working together with you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to help ensure our "children's wedding" was such a beautiful and memorable event.

Regards,
Ligia

Peony Season is here - our favorite flower

We love spring because it brings us our favorite flower - the peony! We have some at our desk at the moment and can't get enough of the fragrance and just staring at the beautiful delicate petals. I grew up with peony trees in my yard as a little girl and didn't know how lucky I was! In the midwest it was a sign that winter had passed and summer was around the corner! According to mythology and folklore peony flowers are a sign of good fortune, wealth, honor and happy marriages. Even more reason to have them in your bridal bouquet.

An Encore of Elegant Decadence...


We couldn't resist...we had to post! BRAVO Alexander McQueen.

A Royal Wedding Weekend

















Congratulations to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge! What a fairy tale day!
Planning a wedding is an art, it takes a lot of time, creativity and skill. The Royal Wedding today was exquisite. I have been thinking of all of the staff members and vendors who painstakingly have been hard at work to execute such a timeless and beautiful affair for the handsome prince and princess. Kudos to all of those that worked so diligently, it is a proud day to be a Brit! I wanted to highlight that as much as one can plan and hope for a perfect wedding day that it is important to enjoy the moment and that some of the best memories are not planned and will organically take place. One example is a photo that someone captured of the
3 year old royal bridesmaid with her hands over her ears (see above pic) while the bride and groom have their famous kiss on the balcony of Buckingham Palace. This is a classic photo and moment in time!















We loved the royal attendants that adorned floral wreaths. So insanely gorgeous!













Princess Kate is a classic beauty, we especially loved her bouquet (mostly made of lily of the valley).
Congratulations to the glowing newlyweds! May you live happily ever after!
