Rancho Capistrano


Normalyn & Manny’s Wedding~
UPDATE: Check out the Pro-Pic Slideshow provided by the amazing Michael of Memories by Michael -
What a GORGEOUS Wedding at Rancho Capistrano! There was a spell of magic in the air and a taste of heat this past Saturday but I couldn’t have imagined a more elegant day full of LOVE! I was so elated to work with this amazing couple and this bride was probably one of the most organized brides I’ve ever worked with. Normalyn came to me just 3 weeks before their wedding for design assistance and Month of Coordination. She had lots of inspirational pictures as well as spreadsheets with Makeup, Hair, Music lists, Floral Designs…..you name it! She has fabulous taste with vibrant yet classy designs but needed help pulling it all together. Rancho Capistrano is a venue that can easily be transformed by the linens and chairs alone so I had LOTS of fun with the colors! Manny, the Groom was ALL smiles ALL day and the love was certainly in the air!! I had a my fabulous team Brianna & Allison along to help set up and make this vision come to life! Christine, of The Spiraled Stem was our floral designer and what a FAB job they did! All the candles were SOY so the candlelight lasted FOREVER! She even incorporated the BIGGEST Dalias I've ever seen in the centerpieces! Sooo beautiful! Angel of Fusion Linens let is be one of the first to use the brand spankin new Dusty Rose Satin Linens that are very new to the linen world. What a treat! Since I am not a professional photographer, I will let Michael of Memories by Michael share a slideshow later this week. Until then, I couldn't help but post a few detail shots that I took with my camera!

Must See TV!

Are you Ready? I mean…..are you REALLY ready? The new Season of Bridezilla’s is here and although watching it makes the hair on my neck stand up, I realize there is a formula to this show………NONE of these ladies have wedding planners!! If they do, they are aunts, friends, or in-laws with limited to NO experience. No Bueno Folks! The censor bleeps are abundant, and while I have seen some crazy things, thankfully NONE have been of this magnitude! Now, I am sure they have to be hamming it up for the camera right? So let’s ALL celebrate our sanity and watch this show as a reminder of how NOT to act as you plan your wedding. This is a memorable time and you don’t want to remember the backlash you gave to Mom when she showed up wearing the wrong shoes do you? Watch the promo for the upcoming season….. If you missed it, set your TIVOS and DVRS now!
