Growing with time

As I mentioned in the previous post, we went to San Diego to see my brother JC graduate from high school and I just can't believe how much time has passed and how many things have changed. It's wonderful to have such great memories of family and we all help each other at one time or another. JC I am so proud of you and miss you already! May you continue to make wise decisions and do things in life that you are passionate about! With love, your sister Fetu

Where has Time gone?

Wow! Where has time gone? Is it already summer? I just returned from my Hometown, San Diego to watch my brother JC graduate from high school. I can't believe he's already going off to college...I thought it was just yesterday that I was bathing him and changing his diapers. He will be studying theater and business...more on that later. Back to time...and as we know...in weddings and special events...time is everything-it puts everything into perspective, we prioritize by time, we create schedules, itineraries, checklist, seat guests, etc...and best of all...we prepare our stunning brides to walk down the aisle to marry their soul-mate..you know..."Prince Charming". In the next few blogs, I will share with you where my time has been spent and with whom so stay tuned

Birds are singing, Champagne flutes are clinging & my phone is-a-ringing! Yep..

Spring is here and I'm loving it it!

Where have I been and what have I been up to? I think it's more like...where haven't I been and what haven't I been up to : ). From Arizona to Pennsylvania for family reasons, planning a gorgeous Prescott destination wedding and a major production for Prescott brides with my partner of 928 Brides Guide, Cindy Reeves....and keeping up with the hubby!

Wheww! What a weekend...I think I've finally caught my breath! Black and White Beauty traditions and classic style wedding on April 22 and Prescott Wedding Walk on April 24 in Downtown Prescott. What a pleasure to be Ashley and Kendrick's wedding coordinator and decorator. A couple that truly finds happiness and romance in the arms of one another. I will be posting photos of that wedding in a few weeks.

Prescott Wedding Walk was amazing...fun...energetic...fabulous...a grand success! We began our day with brides, groom, and guests at the Hassayampa Inn in downtown Prescott, & got the brides on their way with their "bridal fab bags" and map, located in PopRocket newspaper(loved the map, John)..off they were for shopping, visiting with exclusive vendors at Hotel St. Michael, and headed back to Hassayampa Inn for Marvel, Fashion Show and Happy Hour where prizes were announced. Now if you're looking for marvelous, hip & chic reception furniture...Creative Event Rentals..the crew is always on-time, quality products, quality service...innovative products, traditional to cutting edge and highly professional. WOW! Wouldn't I like to be a bride again for the fun, adventure, fashion & amazing prizes that were given. Fashions by Jennyvi Dizon Couture (some designs included fun and elegant custom gowns) and I do! I do! Wedding Boutique of Flagstaff (stunning cathedral trains to simple and elegant easy to travel gowns), Hair by Nyla D' and Hair Station 105, and make-up by DeLovely Cosmetics Apothecary...some prizes included free night stays at Marriott Hotels, Hassayampa Inn, Hotel St. Michael, over $2,000 on sunning venues such as Hassayampa Golf Club and Windmill House, a diamond solitaire from Raskin's Jewelers, oh and so much more...cake discounts, flowers by Allan's Flowers of Prescott, wedding decor & planning...I think just about everything you need to plan your wedding...we had it from fabulous wedding professionals at Prescott Wedding Walk. The event would not have been a success without our sponsors, we share our sincere gratitude for their generous support and contribution: Hassayampa Golf Club, Windmill House, Creative Event Rentals, Allan's Flowers, DeLovely Cosmetics Apothecary, Raskin's Jewelers, Marriott Springhill Suites & Residence Inn, Granite Creek Vineyards, Wink Video, & A Storybook Moment Photography. To my partner of Prescott Wedding Walk, Cindy, Prescott Wedding Walk would not be possible without you and thank you to your family, Lee & blessings to Bethany. To my wonderful, gentle and patient husband...as I said in my vows when we married "...I don't consider myself lucky...I consider myself blessed..." and Angela-StarStruck! Assistant Coordinator, our "Star-Angel", & a sister...what a team we are! Everyone (greeters, registration, models, "changers", set-up, take-down) and everybody involved...my sincere appreciation..hugs, smiles and cheers! Looking forward to 2nd Annual Prescott Wedding Walk...stay tuned...

Janell and Isaiah Wedding 11/7/2009

Janell and Isaiah celebrated their spectacular wedding on November 7th and I was blessed to be able to spend those special moments with them and experience the love and joy they share. I had never been to a wedding involving Jewish traditions before this, and I was blown away by how beautiful everything was! The Houppa that stood at the front of the ceremony was designed by the bride and groom. During the reception it made as a stunning background for the head table! Reds, oranges and yellows brought vibrancy and warmth to the Hand-made piece of art as well as to the table settings, cake and the entire room. The Arizona sunset was one of the highlights of the evening and the glow of the sky brought breathtaking colors inside.
There were so many beautiful parts of Janell and Isaiah's wedding that it is hard to pick a favorite! Though one of my favorite things was Janell's hand-made bouquet. It was absolutely gorgeous and reflected her in every way. The night was one to remember! We wish the Bride and Groom a lifetime of happiness and want to thank them so much for allowing us to be a part of their most special day! Here are some of our favorite photos of the event! Congratulations Janell and Isaiah!
