I was browsing to find deals on some organza gift bags, and found this awesome website that has everything from decorative birdcages to glass apothecary jars to LED floralytes! Total diamond in the Internet rough. It's a GREAT resource for brides and planners that want to save money (who doesn't, nowadays?!) without sacrificing many of the fun details. The Specials section is especially good. Don't say I didn't warn you: www.save-on-crafts.com
Seeing this website reminded me of 3 amazing girls I met while I was in working in Orange County. I met Eva Chiou, Event Planner/Designer/Owner of Red Velvet Occasions while working with her on a wedding block of rooms. As is common in the wedding world, she introduced me to 2 more fabulous women, Henny Setiadi and Lucia Dinh of D*Lsh Design. They created Utterly Engaged, an E-Zine for the 'budget savvy bride with style'. It is CHOCK FULL of creative ideas, photos of fantastic table decor, and even photos and stories from real couples who ran the wedding-planning gamut and made it out with a unique, gorgeous, and budget-friendly wedding. Their #002 Issue, 'Eco Chic French Affair' is a must see for how to throw an organic looking, eco-friendly, provencal style event. I could see this being great for a stylish bridal shower. Eco-Gowns by Sarah Seven is also note-worthy. Become a fan at www.utterlyengaged.com

Photos from the latest Wedding!
This was by far one of the cutest weddings I have ever seen. The Bride and Groom actually choreographed a hip hop routine for their guests. Have you ever seen a hip hop routine that made you get teary-eyed?? Yes, it was a first for me too!
I walked into the Ballroom and was literally breath-taken by everything: the floral arrangements, table setttings, the wedding cake, the Baccarat Chandeliers, the dimmed lights and mirrored panels.
The Foyer and California Suite was turned into a cocktail lounge with our awesome Martini Bar-they had Classic Martini, Lychee Martinis, Golden Spike (one of SC's signature cocktail), Ginsane (another one), and Honey Bee (yet another one). One signature bar I swear I will get when I get married is a Champagne Bar...think Champagne done 6 different ways.
They also had a candy bar full of sour and chocolate candy, can I just say, I can't remember the last time I've seen people RUN to get in line for food. Okay, I might have been one myself. I thought it was really cool how the bride and groom really thought of ways to make their wedding exciting and interactive and manage to keep it special and personal as well.
Wedding Cake by Kelly Zublar of Inticing Creations, Floral was by PK Art and Floral Design. Obviously very skilled and also very professional to work with. Chairs, Linens, Flatware, China and Stemware from The Stanford Court.
