Wrap it up...here we come for a Vegas Visit!

So we wrapped up Prescott Wedding Walk and we're off and running into May with Prom and two weddings and a consultation in Vegasto
meet our beautiful Vegas bride, Kayla! That's me with Kayla-photo on the left : )While we were there we went to her fitting because she wanted me to see her in her dress...and to show me the bridesmaids gowns, and talk colors...how could I resist? The truth of the matter, I think I was more excited than Kayla to hear about colors and I felt honored that she took me for her fitting. Goodness she looked BEAUtiful! While I would love to show you a picture of her in her dress, my fingers are sealed on that deal. I don't dare want to risk her fiance, Andy seeing any photos of his bride-to-be before their wedding day. That would be a big slap on my wrist and some extras ;0) What I will leave you with is a beautiful photo of the Bellagio
...ahhh! While at the Bellagio, we stopped for some dinner, just spur of the moment. Hey, we were hungry and felt like a nice dinner...what we didn't expect was this AMAZING European/French fine dining experience! We walked down the marble stairway into Picasso (http://www.bellagiolasvegas.com/restaurants/picasso.aspx), and was greeted by this beautiful young lady. We took a quick glance in the room and noticed suits, elegant dresses and stunning tall floral arrangements artistically placed throughout the room. Before, I even had a chance to review the menu, I was caught up in the beauty of the room and was escorted by this handsome gentleman to my seat in which he pulled my seat first and called me ma'dam and then my husbands seat.."sir." I think it was when I noticed that every time a waiter walked passed our table, they said "excuse me", I knew we were in for more than a treat...this was going to be an experience and we were going to enjoy every minute! Our table had a view of the "dancing water" and the food was beyond delicious! Once we paid our bill, the waiter came to me and said, "this is for the lady"...I've got to admit..I was anxious about opening this gold box that read "Picasso" (that's the name of the restaurant)...but I did...can you guess what was in this box? Reply to this post and if you can guess what this box had in it, you'll win a $75.00 StarStruck! Gift Certificate! Start guessing... : ) Each person has 3 guesses and the first person who can guess or within the category wins!

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!

Celebrating 10 Years!

January 9th, 2010 was the 10 year anniversary of the Agua Fria National Monument. The celebration was held at the beautiful Horseshoe Ranch, and was full of culture and entertainment for all ages. Vendors and entertainers from all around the area came out to celebrate this special day and the guests were delighted to see the variety of products and demonstrations. Tamales, BBQ, Fry Bread, Kettle Korn, Pies, and other foods were available for the guests as well as Jewelry, Handmade soaps and lotions, Pottery, and artwork that were available for purchase. Entertainment included Native American dancers and singers, Atlatl throwing, Educational speakers and a fabulous country style band. The atmosphere was happy and exciting, and the sun stayed out all day keeping the cold at bay for a majority of the event. Thank you to BLM for giving us the opportunity to be a part of this special day, and thank you to all of the vendors and guests that came out to celebrate with us! It was a great success and a pleasure to be a part of!
