Stephanie and Kelvin’s wedding was the perfect mix of sophisticated old Hollywood glamour and California desert casual.  With a venue like the Parker Palm Springs you don’t need much to make it amazing–it’s pretty much the prettiest place ever.  Add a couple that look like they’re straight out of a movie, glorious florals by Twig and Twine and spot-on planning from Twine Events and you have pretty much my dream scenario.  The gals over at 100 Layer Cake are featuring this beauty today–pop on over and take a look!

GOOD.  And how cute are they??  This wedding was a labor of love and the two of them, along with their friends and family, created so many amazing things, from the chuppah to the reception tables to the house itself, Jamie’s childhood home and showcase for his Dad’s contracting business.  (The family also owns the fabulous Portola Paints.)  With to-die-for florals by Of the Flowers and spot-on coordination from Tealight Weddings, this casual summer solstice fiesta was pure perfection and we’re so grateful our friends at 100 Layer Cake are sharing it today!

Please and Thank You Launch Party

I recently got to be a part of the launch party for Please & Thank You‘s liquor bar at Luce Loft in San Diego.  Food by  A Miho Experience, flowers by Siren Floral Co., glassware, table and flatware by The Hostess Haven, as well as design by Smid That and Powwow Design Studio, made for a seriously amazing moody and modern vibe.  The cocktails by Please & Thank You were spot on, and definitely contributed to the shenanigans on the dance floor.  It was so much fun working with such a rad group of creatives, a big thanks to Max Cutrone for the capturing the evening on video for all of us!! If you want to see more, head on over to 100 Layer Cake for the full feature!!
