Linda & Jase (heart)

2012-02-02T14:47:00.000-08:00

Linda & Jase were married at Calamigos Equestrian Center in Burbank. I think of her as my Anthropology girl because she always had the most stylish outfits. They based their wedding details from the movie "You've Got Mail". You'll notice the mailboxes & mock letters. I still have one of the favors. Linda hand-made these beautiful envelopes & stuffed them with yummy treats. Linda actually made most of her decor, such as the bunting. They also have really talented friends who contributed with the photo booth wall & cake topper. The day began with a beautiful tea ceremony. Afterward,
Carolyn Leal, their officiant, created a spot-on ceremony that depicted their personalities & made everyone smile. Jenny & her team at Alders Photography provided the beautiful images. Talk about a tremendous photographer to work with....
Thank you, Linda & Jase, for your kindness, amazing style, & allowing me to work with you. I will continue to pester you long after your wedding day :-)...

our musical couple

2011-11-18T14:40:00.000-08:00

One of our favorite weddings, this summer, was Annie & Marcus'. You most likely have heard their sweet melodies on tv or here on the internet or some other form of media. If you haven't, it's absolutely worth your time to check out their site.

These two are the depiction of creativity, class, & love. Little & Ashley's tunes are so sweet & catchy. A pure joy to our ears. Regarding their wedding, we cannot even begin to describe our adoration for their personal wedding details.- Fun & charming....& GREAT music!

Patricia & James!

2011-11-10T10:47:00.000-08:00

I thoroughly enjoyed my time spent with Patricia & James while planning their wedding.

They are a laid back couple & that trait did not waiver the entire time. If they were ever stressed, it did not show. Patricia came up with gorgeous décor elements that really impressed me. Their ceremony & reception were held at the Jonathan Club in downtown Los Angeles. Not that I would expect anything less than stellar from the club, but their service was beyond phenomenal, from the bussers to the event manager. Every single staff member I came in contact with was extraordinarily friendly & professional. I am absolutely delighted to say Hustle & Bustle is now on their preferred vendor list because it will be a joy to work at the Jonathan Club again. Now back to the couple. As you can see, they are just lovely.Their ceremony was held on the roof top surrounded by skyscrapers. It created an amazing backdrop. The cocktail hour & dinner were held in two very different regal rooms. While the interior felt very grand & formal, Patricia's flowers & details, such as the kids table covered w/ jars of candy, provided a softer touch. Yes, they had a fun photo booth which also lightened the mood! Each guest had the privilege to take home a couple succulents as favors. Congratulations to Patricia & James!

Samantha at Primary petals was the genius behind the florals. It's difficult to match her talent.

The W Hollywood

2011-10-18T14:47:00.000-07:00

I'm quite thrilled Kaci just booked another wedding at the gorgeous W Hotel in Hollywood for next year.

Last May, we had the honor to help plan the very first (ever!) wedding at this hotel. Talk about amazing...I would seriously visit Chris at the venue if you are looking for a hip, chic, impressive venue for your event.

Unfortunately, we cannot share photos from our event because it was a celebrity wedding but I did manage to sneak a pic w/ my phone :-)...& then a couple of my daughter at a walk-through, just because I'm a proud mama, ha ha.

We are so looking forward to our wedding at the W, next year!

Andrea & Kenny!

2011-10-17T14:30:00.000-07:00

Our team had the lovely honor to coordinate this couple’s wedding at the Hyatt in Newport Beach.

Andrea & Kenny had such fun personalities. It was the first time I’ve seen guests win designer Snuggies!

The whole day was gorgeous & fun, much like the couple themselves.

Whoa! Last post was written back in May?!

2011-09-23T13:28:00.000-07:00

Needless to say, it's been a BUSY wedding season. I am so blessed for the opportunities to share & help create such special days for such special people. This year really has provided me a chance to meet some of the most creative, talented, & loving couples. I feel I could write a book expressing my respect & admiration for these clients, as well as the many new professionals I've met & worked with for the first time. Perhaps, I will save that for a later post.....There really are some amazing pros I'd love to show off!
This year has also blessed me with a new addition to our family. We are expecting another baby girl next month! I get to enjoy two more weddings & then it's Baby Time! :-) Not that I'm trying to make excuses, but hopefully you can understand why the blog has been put on hold the last few months. Clients, weddings, & family comes first. I will do my best to update you with recent photos, informative tid bits, & relevant wedding info as the season slows down. I have also placed Kaci in charge of creating posts so the pressure is on, Miss Kaci!

Exciting news!

2011-05-04T12:11:00.000-07:00

We are so incredibly proud & flattered to have won the "best coordinated wedding of 2010" from Style Unveiled!
Charlene & Michael were an absolute joy to work with. We miss them & their wedding terribly.
Their wedding took place at the Riviera Resort in Palm Springs. Everything about their wedding was joyous, their family, friends, details, weather....everything.
Their superstar photographer was Michael Segal. We are so excited to be collaborating with him, this August, for another fabulous wedding.
You can check out the photos here.

Neetu & Ken married!

2011-04-07T12:31:00.000-07:00

Neetu has a sharp sense of style. From the beginning, she knew she would not be donning a puffy white gown. For her ceremony she was adorned in an exquisite pink & blue sari which she purchased at a designer shop in India. Afterward, she changed into a sequined black stunner.

The day was dazzling in glamorous details. Everything was hot pink & black w/ damusk details intermixed (stationary accents, table runners, etc…). Neetu’s fashionable taste was apparent.

The room underwent a magical lighting makeover during the switchover from the ceremony to reception design.

For the ceremony, the guests’ chairs circled the stage, along with 4 giant silver trees with crystals to really make a statement.

After the ceremony, guests were escorted upstairs to enjoy cocktail hour, while the dining room was transformed into a divine reception space. The décor offered a really modern, glamorous feel. The dance floor was covered w/ a damask wash. Every single orchid was painted magenta (hot pink) so even in the dark space, the flowers really popped. The magenta uplights enhanced the etched characteristics of the walls & ceiling.

Isn't she gorgeous?

Love how her candy table was round.

First look @ the JW Marriott

On their way to the Biltmore to change & take photos

In lieu of favors, Neetu & Ken made donations on their guests' behalf (although, there was a treat in the bag).

I love Lily Stein's style. It's as though we're looking at a fashion magazine....

Jenna & Gerry married!

2011-04-07T12:05:00.000-07:00

This was such a gorgeous wedding at the breathtaking Bel-Air Bay Club.
Jenna is an example of a beautiful person both inside & out. I can tell she is an amazing pediatrician by the way she was constantly poised & thoughtful towards others. Check these photos taken by Laura Bailey Photography, just gorgeous!

Stephanie & Joseph married!

2011-03-31T14:31:00.000-07:00


These hot cocoa shots were mesmerizing, ha ha. I want one, now.

Carrie McCluskey is the incredible photographer behind these shots. Stephanie & Joe celebrated their wedding at the Ayre's Hotel in Manhatten Beach. What a beautiful couple.
Thank you for the photos, Carrie!

Newly married!

2011-03-31T14:04:00.000-07:00

After a couple of concerned emails from photographers, I noticed I do a horrible job of posting photos from our weddings. I am vowing to do a much better job of this in 2011.
Over the next week, I hope to catch up & post some fun, gorgeous photos of recent weddings. I guess I figure I will get around to it & then with my family, meetings, etc..., weeks end up flying by before I actually sit down & take in the fabulous images. Crummy, I know. I need to showcase the dedication (of all involved) that goes into such beautiful events.

Below are images from Kelly & John's Bel-Air Bay Club wedding, captured by the uber-talented/creative Cameron Ingalls.

Kelly designed her centerpieces.

Fabulous.

Man, the weather was interesting that day! She looks so chic, regardless.

John designed the candy bar.

A word from Kaci!

2011-03-16T22:49:00.000-07:00

My girl, Kaci, is my rock when we coordinate weddings together. Since her debut at team H&B, she has grown tremendously without losing a single spark of her spunk & enthusiasm. She is now rocking her own weddings as the main coordinator so I figured it's time for her to share her thoughts on here.

From Kaci:

Even after I’ve witnessed so many weddings, one part still gets to me every time! I get goose bumps when every single bride walks down the aisle. Think about it…it is a perfect moment, and there are so many elements that make that moment unforgettable. Of course, there is the bride herself. From her amazing wedding dress (which is custom made to match each bride’s personality) to her hair and makeup, she is the definition of beauty. On the other end stands the groom, who looks so proud waiting for his future to get to him! Then, there are all of the friends and family that are on their feet with over flowing excitement for the couple. Wait…don’t forget about the flowers, bridesmaid’s dresses, tuxedos…and the list could go on and on. When it all comes together, every element compliments each other. Why shouldn’t this moment stand out? It is the first second of the rest of their lives together!!

Brides Choice Award from Weddingwire!

2011-02-05T22:52:00.000-08:00

Here, at H&B, we are ecstatically honored to have received this award. It's about time....we kid....Wedding Wire/Project Wedding/Weddingbee/etc...(the list of

If I were a bride, I'd be logged onto them all of the time to get the

lowdown on my possible vendors. Thank you to our thoughtful brides for taking the time out of their busy lives to post such reviews. We love it!!

I am elated to discover Style Unveiled recognized this gorgeous wedding, photographed by the sensational Michael Segal, from the Riviera Resort in Palm Springs.

These images are from a stunning wedding ceremony & celebration of a truly loving couple.

Thank you, to Harvard Photography, for capturing & sharing these images.

Beautiful Dessert Bar

2010-09-10T22:27:00.000-07:00

Just a posting to showcase the incredible talents of three of Southern California's top-notch wedding professionals.
This fabulous dessert bar was created by Vanilla Bake Shop. Those yummy little goodies are pure heaven.
The eye who captured this belongs to Aileen Secord of Aileen Secord Photography.
The beautiful cherry blossoms and flowers decorating the table are from Century City Flower Market.
As you can imagine, this dessert bar was definitely a highlight of the evening. Yes, the rest of the wedding day was just as marvelous!

Ronnie & Ben!

2010-09-10T22:03:00.000-07:00

Ronnie & Ben got married, in July, at the Hyatt in Long Beach. These two could be the sweetest people I have ever met. I had so much fun helping them plan their amazing wedding. A trained hula dancer, Ronnie requested plenty of Hawaiian music & lots of bright color. With over 200 guests & 3 dress changes, this day was full of fun, excitement, & Hawaiian glamour.

Whenever I finish reading an email from Mimi Nguyen, I think to myself "is she always so cool friendly & cool?!?". She is the talent behind the lens in these great shots.

Commerce Flowers provided an amazing crew & even more amazing floral arrangements.

Ronnie's stunning hair & makeup was done by the gorgeous Theresa Huang.

Snider Photo and Design

2010-09-10T21:30:00.000-07:00

I had to post this. Hey, I'm a proud momma. Any chance I get to show off my baby girl & husband, I take it.

We had a family photo session with Emily, Russell, & their little girl, Makayla at the Labrea Tar Pits & I am thrilled with the results. If you are searching for a dynamite wedding, e-session, maternity, or family photographer, definitely check out their blog & schedule an appointment with them.

I love my job! :-) :-) :-)

2010-08-27T11:35:00.000-07:00

Geesh, this summer has certainly flown by!!! While archiving old emails & glancing at old email folders from past wedding celebrations, I found this.
It makes me smile. I am beyond flattered that at the end of the night, after a whirl wind of a day, they wanted to hop in the photobooth with me.

Thank you, Karen & Cheesy Photobooths for sending this to me!
Theresa Huang enhanced Kristina's already stunning beauty.

Ruby & James!

2010-08-26T12:00:00.000-07:00

Ruby & James, their families, & guests experienced a magical wedding at the Los Angeles Arboretum. What a treasure it was working with this big-hearted couple & their fantastic vendors. The whole day consisted of laughter, joy, & lots of dancing. Loved every second of it! I expect many years of fun & excitement & love in their future! Scott A Nelson captured the day perfectly.

This may be my favorite photo. It gives me goosebumps. Just moments before the trek down the aisle.

Love the arch, provided by Rose Edmonds Event & Floral Couture.

Carcono DJ & Lighting provided the reception music & entertainment.

Katrina Saroyan shared her talents on the harp during their ceremony.

I go crazy when awesome photographers, like Kevin Wynn, share their amazing works of art with me....it seriously is like precious gold.
Now I get to show off the incredible talent of this lovely bride, too.

jars of jelly beans for favors...the bold colors worked terrifically with the rest of the room.
the couple made all the paper items, i.e. table numbers, programs, escort cards..can we say Talent?

Rather than a traditional guest book, the opted to have their guests leave personal notes...
My favorite, personal photos scattered throughout...here are their parents' wedding photos.
just a little shoe envy...

Amanda & Joseph!!

2010-06-22T14:55:00.000-07:00

I am soooo in love with this video created by the phenomenal Weddings by SML! Kristina & Jason were married at St. Andrew's in Pasadena & celebrated at the Pasadena Hilton. It was really hard saying good-bye to this adorable couple at the end of the night. Their wedding was a perfect reflection of them, fun, beautiful, & truly memorable!!! Enjoy!

Yet, another blog link

2010-04-28T15:24:00.000-07:00

Today, think of me as your blog land tour guide.

On Michael Segal Wedding's blog, there is a glamorous Palm Springs wedding featured. It was my privilege to coordinate this affair. Their wedding was the chicest of chic with a ton of fun thrown in! I always say this but it's completely true, the bride & groom (Charlene & Michael) were difficult not to utterly adore. Why can't I have Charlene's photogenic beauty???
Looky look.
All the vendor info is on the bottom, if you are looking to wed in Palm Springs, they are all highly recommended.

Green (pink) Wedding Shoes wedding

2010-04-28T15:08:00.000-07:00

I am smitten over the blog Green Wedding Shoes. Perhaps, someday I will have a blog as cool as that one is...lol. I'm not sure how this one slipped through the cracks, but, one of my favorite weddings from last July was featured. Too cool. This couple was a dream to work for & it was an honor just to be at their wedding. It was also a dream come true to work with the goddess that is Elisabeth Messina. Clearly, the bride has impeccable style. Take a look!

some personal photos from that day.

The Clueless Bride

2010-04-28T14:54:00.000-07:00

This very cool blog is the creation of this very cool girl, named Danielle. She bestowed me the honor to coordinate her upcoming wedding. It is sure to be a smashing time!
The Clueless Bride chronicles the journey of a bride-to-be planning her once in a lifetime wedding. It is chalk full of tidbits of information, surely to be of interest to anyone in the midst of planning their own wedding. Enjoy!

Pamela & Anthony - February 27, 2010

2010-04-08T15:13:00.000-07:00

I bumped into Pamela & Anthony while I was in the process of setting up a wedding, last year.
I was beyond flattered when I found out they saved my card & reached out to me several months later.
Their "A jazzy kind of Love" wedding was so darn stylish & cozy, you could not help but have a big grin on your face the entire time.
Pamela actually designed & made the centerpieces, I hope to post pictures of those in the future.
Although it rained, it was a blessing because the now indoor ceremony could not have been more beautiful with the lighting, candles, & dark drizzle behind the large bay windows.
Snider Photo & Design captured the stunning event with their magical photo journalistic picture taking skills. They are a husband & wife team (Emily & Russell). We really bonded because we have daughters who are similar in age. I totally appreciated their willingness to communicate with me & really be team players. While at the wedding, I took notice of their strategic photo opps & was so impressed. I cannot wait to see more images from Pamela & Anthony's wedding. These really are just teasers!
I truly feel blessed to work for amazing couples, like Pamela & Anthony!
They gave me of their favors! It is now my absolute favorite coffee mug!! Yahoo!

As a little girl (& big girl) I never kept a diary.....

2010-04-08T15:07:00.000-07:00

Although, I always wanted to :-)!
I guess that it is just my nature to not update the blog too frequently.
A lot has been going on ! Wedding season is in full swing & I am constantly meeting with new amazing couples! After years of thinking otherwise, it is so refreshing to know there are genuine, down to earth, warm, charming people in Los Angeles, & a lot of them!
I would like to just post some amazing photos from a couple of recent wedding. Here in southern California, we are so lucky to have such incredible talent within reach.
Enjoy!

Meet Miss Molly!

2010-03-03T16:01:00.000-08:00

This is just a blurb I wrote up about Molly to put on our website:

Molly & Theresa have a long work history together. They met in 2001, in Ft. Myers, FL & ventured off to plan weddings, parties, & corporate events together throughout south Florida. They respect each other’s work ethics & creativity.

Since childhood, Molly has lived all over the country. This probably instilled a love for travel in her blood. It seems Molly has a vast knowledge of cultural traditions & design elements. It’s truly impressive. Whenever a specific detail is brought up, she has either seen it, coordinated it, made it, or read about it. A real bonus to Molly’s value is her bountiful craftiness. She is constantly producing cocktail table arrangements, table numbers, escort cards, even hair clips! You do not have to pull her arm too hard for a helping hand in DIY projects!

Since graduating from FGCU with a Liberal Arts degree, Molly has planned weddings in each corner of the U.S. Lucky for us; she has decided to set up shop in Northern California. She loves what the region has to offer. There is the historical character & urban feel of Sacramento, the artistic & culture-induced vibe of San Francisco, & of course, the majestical & whimsical beauty of Wine Country!

Fun Fact: Some would say Molly’s trademarks are her signature drinks!

Hello, Sacramento!

2010-03-03T15:49:00.000-08:00

Here at H&B headquarters, we are beyond elated to announce we have set up shop in Sacramento!
We have been a part of & have had the privilege to attend some gorgeous affairs with our friends up north. Now, we have the honor to be much more involved & hopefully meet some new couples who would like Hustle & Bustle's assistance & expertise to make their wedding day truly magical.
Molly Floto is our head wedding coordinator in the beautiful Sacramento/Wine Country/San Francisco region. She is a one-of-a kind girl who oozes enthusiasm & good humor.
I will be sure to post a picture of her up here to embarrass the snot out of her :-) Yay for Molly!!

A Tip From Ryann.....

2010-02-10T20:17:00.000-08:00

I wanted to make my Hustle & Bustle blog debut a fun one that reflected what I love most about weddings. I am really impressed when a bride and groom add some personal touches to their day, especially when they are do-it-yourself items. I think this is about as personal as you can get. This being said, I understand that there are many brides out there that are not exactly Martha Stewart-friendly. This is when I thought of embossing- it is simple, dummy-proof even, and still oh so elegant and leave a lot of possibilities.

Here is a quick how to on three great techniques:

Oh, Fudge!

2009-11-15T22:17:00.000-08:00

Recently, I was thinking about making some fudge for my family.
After doing a bit of research, I was shocked to learn how easy it really is to make!
I was also surprised at the unlimited number of flavors to make.

Which got me thinking...why not a fudge bar at your reception? We all know candy buffets are still in high demand. Let's just give it a decadent, fun twist! Your guests still get that “kid in the candy store” excited feeling but a fudge buffet is a little bit more unique...and more filling, which saves you $!

For all you DIY-ers, this is perfect. Even if you are not a “do it yourself’ nut, this fudge table could be a great starter project for you. It is pretty simple & very impressive! It's also inexpensive, & if you mess up on the presentation, just leave the ugly pieces at home to indulge on later.

Before, I thought fudge came in about 3 flavors, chocolate (of course), vanilla, and what not. But, NO, fudge can be made in just about every flavor under the sun (cheesecake, candy corn, bubble gum, RUM!)!

If you are not into a whole table full of fudge, a homemade piece of fudge wrapped in fabric, box, or paper that coordinates with your wedding décor is a terrific favor. Again, this is a super easy project that would be super appreciated by your guests.

Here are links to easy fudge recipes.

Sheesh....where does the time go...really??
It is November! 2010 is almost here! October gave me 4 weddings & 5 new brides for next year. I am thrilled! Thank you!

I definitely need to post fall weddings on here. I will surely work on that.

Downtown!

2009-09-21T14:57:00.000-07:00

Gotta Love it!

The wedding magazine, The Knot Southern Califor nia, recently asked me to give them some info regarding LA's fashion district. They wanted to know how people who are in the middle of planning their wedding could benefit from shopping downtown. I thought I'd share with you wonderful blog readers what I shared with them.

Los Angeles has the second largest fashion district in the U.S. It is home to an enormous amount of designers, fabric warehouses, pattern makers, drafters, cutters, sewers, notions, & trims. It is understandable one would be intimidated to shop, let alone visit Los Angeles’ fashion district. It would be so much easier to resort to a safer, more generic & expensive craft store near home.

There are a couple of benefits to shopping downtown:

1. Nostalgia, you may not, but I get a sense of wow, I am in the heart of it all.

2. Prices, competition is stiff from door to door. Plus, the prices are unbeatable to chain stores in town. Here is where the chain stores obtain their merchandise & jack up the prices to pay for their lighting, employees, marketing, etc…

3. Variety- It would take weeks to explore every nook & cranny. Your selection is limitless; it’s a little unsettling for me to think that because I like to see all my options before making a purchase, lol.

4. It really is a small community. During my second visit, most store owners & employees remembered my face. That is astonishing; I’m not a huge spender either. Now I bring my daughter with me & they all know her. Fabric, notions, what not, this industry is these peoples’ lives. They are not a kid forced to be at their after school job. At first, a few may be a little brash because they want a big sale. Just open up & ask a question & 99% of the workers will be incredibly helpful, resourceful, insightful & even send you to a competitor to help you find what you are in search for.

Tips:

Parking: I never pay for parking. Yes, there are a zillion lots & sometimes you’re lucky to find a meter (if you have the change) or a friendly homeless person who will trigger the meter for you with his paper clip. The best place to park is on the east side of San Julian St. There are no meters & no limit on the number of hours to park there! It is a great location because it’s at the bottom of the district (East) of 9th st. so you can walk up & then down & you are back at your car. Its’ centrally located between 9^th and 10^th & just a block south of the flower mart, too.

Negotiate!: Don’t ever settle on the first price a merchant quotes you. Tell him what you want to pay (within reason). If he says no, walk out. 9 times out of 10 he/she will follow you & agree on your price. They most likely want your business more than you want that item.

Restrooms: It never fails, I park my car, begin my trek (usually with my child in tow) & I realize I must find a restroom. Let’s be real, the bathrooms at these shops are old & scary. Here is what to do- Go to the California Mart. It is impossible to miss. The mart is takes up a block from 9^th to Olympic & Los Angeles St. to Main St. Besides having the cleanest & uncrowded public restrooms, it is just a fabulous place to visit. It would be a waste to stop by the fashion district & not check out the California Mart. You can also make it a rest area & pick up cash from the ATM, coffee, or lunch while there. Just roam the floors; you get real insight as to what goes on in the real fashion world. This is the same for the Cooper building on Los Angeles St. but now I’m getting side tracked.

Bring a list: This sounds juvenile but I’m telling you, it is so easy to get side tracked. There is so much to look at. New ideas constantly pop into your mind. “I know I can find a use for this!” will play repeat in your head.

Over view:

When referring to shopping in the district, most people mention Michael Levine’s. These people are not really in the know. Michael Levine is, by far, the most popular store. I mean, it has everything but it’s also the most expensive place. It is basically a Joanne’s times 10. I visit there as a last resort.

The fashion District is a rectangle: 9^th & Olympic make up the long sides & Main & San Julian being the short sides. Besides, 9^th & Olympic, the only cross streets you need, for material & notion shopping, are Wall & Maple. All the other streets are either for apparel shopping, furniture fabric, or people in the fashion design & production industry. Actually, the district is more of a square. Be sure to visit the cross streets North, past 9^th for trims & to make your way to the flower mart.

For wedding purposes, Olympic Blvd. is where you will find all your flower girl & ring bearer needs. These shops carry adorable dresses & suits along with the essentials like pillows, flower baskets, parasols. You name it. One store particularly stands out, La Bella by Carmen Creation. The styles featured here Victorian inspired. The apparel & accessories are just darling, very one of a kind. Also along 10^th, you can find amazing deals on bird cages, cake sets, stands, champagne flutes, & other misc. items.

Trims, trims, ....& more trims!!9^thStreet carries the bulk of the apparel fabric. You will see many signs for $1 fabric. These places are great for material you don’t mind being on the “cheaper” side, perhaps, tulle or poly chiffon for major draping of your tent or chairs & decorating your favors. You will easily find nice tulle (for veils even) for $1 or less, per yard, at 120” wide. It is effortless to snag poly-gabardine for table linens or sashes at $1.50/yd., in any color.

Most stores will special order any color you need if you are ordering a significant amount. My favorite fabric shops for higher end goods are Tex Carmel & Fabrics & Fabrics. At Carmel, the owner is the nicest man around. They offer luxurious silk taffeta's, organza's, shantung, & dupioni. The owner of Fabrics & Fabrics has a cold initial demeanor but eventually comes around & will share his witty sense of humor & friendly charm. You can find the best deals on amazing silk chiffon's, cotton voile's, & silk linings. Along with the most attractive fabrics, these two possess the nicest staff.

As for trims & notions, most of those merchants are located on Wall St. & Maple St. There are a few exceptions. Top Trims is located on 9^th, as is, Kashcool, inc. These places are worth mentioning because they are easy to browse in, nice & spacious. Top Trims has a nice variety of angel wings for flower girls. They also have a decent selection of rhinestones & offer lots of peacock feathers! My favorite place to go to for trims is Levy’s! Mary & Nick are always willing to lend a helping hand & offer referrals. If you visit their store without an exact idea of what you are looking for, Mary is amazing at suggesting creative ideas for your event or craft. Levy’s has an excellent selection of rhinestones for your bouquets, garlands for trees, floral arrangements, cakes & lace for Mantilla veils. Their selection of appliqués out shines the rest. Plus, you just can’t beat the service & prices.

Three doors down from Levy’s, is L.A. Linen Lacey’s Fabrics. This is the place to go to for table linens, chair covers, sashes, overlays, table runners, table skirts & napkins! Any style you imagine & any color you crave, they have it & with a very nice price tag. Lacey’s has embroidered or beaded organza, crepe back or shiny satins, pin tucked or pin cushioned taffeta's, the list goes on! It’s a great “go-to” place. I love their slogan, “yes, everything is possible. The impossible just takes a bit longer and cost more to make”.

I believe this is a good start for the Los Angeles area “DIY” brides journey to the fashion district.

List of Merchants mentioned:

Fabrics & Fabrics – 403 E. 9^th Street, Los Angeles, CA 90015 (213)-488-0681

Kashcool, inc. – 416-418 E. 9^th Street, Los Angeles, CA 90015 (213)489-3010

L.A. Linen Lacey’s Fabrics – 903 S. Wall St., Los Angeles, CA 90015 (213)624-1099

Terranea Resort, OH MY!

2009-09-07T23:25:00.000-07:00

WOW.....that is really what pops into my mind when I reflect on the wedding I recently helped with at the STUNNING Terranea Resort in Palos Verdes.
Hopefully, I will obtain pictures of the actual wedding to share because the bride & groom were the spitting image of perfection, themselves.
Anyhow, I am writing this particular post to inform you on the breathtaking resort right here, in our neck of the woods.
The first time I encountered Terranea was for the routine walk-through prior to the main event (the wedding). It was not yet open to the public so it was a real treat to explore the grounds with my clients & Leslie, Terranea's event manager. The drive to Terranea, alone, was awe inspiring & leisurely. However, once inside it's magical captivity, I couldn't help but feel I was in a far, far away paradise land, thousands of miles from LA.

www.terranea.com
The ceremony location is on a grassy cliff atop the Pacific. It was blessed by a Buddha for goodness sakes. That's an alright start for a marriage, I suppose. The bungalows & suites are modern & rich. Everything is brand new, which is part of the charm. The spa is a place you can retreat to all day long. You will do a double take when you see the pool at the salon & all the amenities!
At the wedding, I couldn't help but mention to Leslie, "working here is like being on vacation". It sounds strange, I know, given that we are a few short miles from the city.
The bottom line is. If you are in search of a wedding (ceremony & reception) venue & you like the idea of a destination wedding but want to remain local, you may want to pay a visit to Terranea Resort. Even though, the resort has been open just a couple months, the staff appears & acts like it has been around for years.
I guess I should mention a couple details pertaining to wedding-related interests. They offer a few linen options that happen to be gorgeous. The food is fabulous. There are plenty of staff to escort guests & keep nosy hotel guests away. If you have any questions, feel free to shoot them at me. :)

More Summer Lovin!

2009-09-07T22:53:00.000-07:00

Bodee & Patrick were a fun, loving, stylish, charming & absolutely sweet (I could go on) couple to work for. I would like to share a clip from their dashing wedding at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, or 'DCP', for the tragically hip.
This video clip was made possible by Dirk Gates, from Studio West Video. He is a real professional & as you can tell from the video, a real gem in videography-land! You can see multiple samples of his work from this link. Enjoy!

Annie & Clifford

2009-09-01T15:49:00.000-07:00

Ahh...Malibu!

Mr. and Mrs. Hilo were one of my favorite couples of the Summer of '09. Ok, so all couples I work for are my favorite BUT there is a certain bonding that takes place when you meet the bride for one of the most important meetings in your pajamas....in public!

Annie & Clifford were married at Malibu West Beach Club. Annie did an amazing job with her DIY floral arrangements & booking a fantastic location & superstar vendors. She wore a Monique Lhuillier lace gown that accentuated her beautiful features. Clifford was the sweetest & shocked his bride with a surprise performance on his guitar. The ocean breeze was the perfect backdrop for a night of dancing, eating, & love.

Another thing, I would like to mention, Aileen Secord was Annie & Clifford's second shooter. She is incredible! There are professionals, who have been in the industry for many years, asking her for tricks of the trade! Check out her site, I highly recommend her for your wedding photographer. http://aileensecord.com/

Maria & Jeff

2009-08-11T15:01:00.000-07:00

I had the absolute pleasure of DOCing Maria & Jeff's classic, chic wedding at the Skirball Cultural Center, this past July.
Maria & Jeff are a prime example of why I love my job so much. As you view the pictures, taken by Steve Reisch Photography (www.stevereisch.com), you can clearly see how loving & genuine these two are.
Thank you, Maria & Jeff!
BTW, how gorgeous is her dress?!

L.A.'s fab Flower District

2009-07-10T00:10:00.000-07:00

Florists (besides catering & alcohol) are often times the biggest budget breakers. These days, so many of my clients are of the "Do It Yourself mentality". When it comes to floral arrangements, i.e. centerpieces, bouquets, ceremony aisle arrangements, misc. table decor, purchasing & designing your own arrangement can be a tremendous money saver & even a little bit fun!

Los Angeles is home to a fabulous flower district. This is where the majority of local florists obtain their stock. Of course, we are very fortunate to boast some of the world’s most creative & talented floral & event designers. However, there is something empowering when you create an element for your wedding yourself, no matter how small or grand your little touch may be. Plus, it’s an added benefit to save some major cash! The flower district is comprised of five streets: Maple, Wall, & San Julian are the north & south bound streets bordered by 7^th St. & 8^th St. The Southern California Flower Market is a gigantic indoor floral extravaganza home to about 40 tenants. This market has entrances on Wall St. & San Julian St. When I hear “Flower Mart”, I automatically think flowers. There is so much more to this district than the typical rose. The district boasts all accessories related to any kind of floral arrangement, vases, gem stones, aisle runners, trees, just to name a few items. These supplies are offered at or below wholesale prices & the selection will beat any store in town. Rather than rows to opt from, you have streets of goods to explore.

Tips:

~Arrive early! The market closes between 12-12:30pm. The rest of the district shuts down shortly after.

~Bring one of your vendors. You will receive wholesale prices if someone in your party owns a business in the wedding industry.

~Visit merchants as they are packing up for the day to score some free flowers! Sellers will often times give you a bouquet or two because they are going to die anyway.

~As with any big floral purchase anywhere, keep in mind the flowers you see on your most recent excursion may not be in bloom on your wedding date.

From my experience, there are a few vendors that stand out & are an excellent resource to people new to the flower district.

Floral Supply Syndicate (located at 745 San Julian St., Los Angeles 90014 (213)624-3982) is a one stop shop for all necessary elements & details for your floral arrangements & DIY projects, minus the flowers. Even though, manzanita trees are super easy to find at amazing prices, F.S.S. has the best prices. Large branches are $16 & the trees are $24-$36! Okay, these can be hundreds of dollars at retail stores & online. Floral Supply Syndicate has aisles & aisles of ribbon, in all the shapes, textures, & colors you can ever need. You can also obtain any frame or Styrofoam needed for your extravagant arrangements. They also carry an array of garlands, rocks, gem stones, aisle runners, tulle, vases, & bulk tea lights at prices that will sure to shock you.

Daisy’s Garden (located at 532 E. 8^th St., Los Angeles, CA 90014 (213)627-8807) has the most beautiful centerpiece arrangements. This is a great place to visit for inspiration & unlike all the other shops, you can talk Daniella into taking a picture or two. If you are new to the area, this is the perfect shop to browse through. Daniella is the nicest person you can come across. Daisy’s can deliver & set up the arrangements for your wedding or simply provide you with the necessary tools & flowers to do it yourself. This is a win/win situation, the best service, the best costs, & the most innovative creations.

Golden Memories, Floral Design by Sandra is a Mecca of Manzanita madness! Every size, color, & shape of these trees is available for about $65-$70. You can even rent them for $35! This is a Godsend since most people don’t really know what to do with them after their wedding day. Of course, you can find branches here as well. The real strikes of gold are the manzanita cake stands available to rent. These creations are gorgeous!

Saint Germain Florist carries the most beautiful roses. They are located inside the Southern California Flower Market At a recent wedding, in Malibu, the bride purchased all of the roses for her wedding from Saint Germain’s. A total of 700 roses for $600! She was so happy & proud of the job she & her best friend did on the 26 centerpieces, bridal bouquet, 5 BM bouquets, 4 corsages, 4 bouts, & a bunch of flowers for the cake.

The top two pictures are centerpieces from Daisy's Garden. The bottom two were taken inside the Flower Market.

Bustles Galore at Winnie Couture!

2009-06-25T21:52:00.000-07:00

I have always been curious about what, technically, is the difference between various bustles. What exactly is a French bustle as oppose to an American bustle? When I was invited to Winnie Couture, to study the specific types, my heart jumped! I’ve known of Winnie Couture’s garments but I have never actually been to a Winnie Couture salon. Here I was with an appointment to visit their new flagship store in Beverly Hills. What a treat! Above, is a sample of Winnie's gorgeous 'Ramona' gown with a double French bustle.

I must admit, I was a bit nervous as I approached the salon. The store’s appearance is magnificently stunning. Unlike many boutiques (everywhere, not just Rodeo Drive), the girls who work at Winnie Couture are genuinely friendly, warm, & a breath of fresh air. When you enter the showroom you feel like you are in a dashing gallery. This is not your everyday bridal shop. The salon is absolutely breathtaking with crystal chandeliers, custom made furniture, & a VIP section, so chic it could rival any elite LA club. Visits are by appointment only, which makes your visit that much more special & memorable.

Amanda, Winnie Couture’s amazing store manager, displayed samples of bustles & described what styles worked best with each gown’s silhouette. Although there are quite a few types of bustles, the two we generally see are the American Bustle & the French bustle. The French bustle is folded down & tucked inside the gown. The American is folded up & drapes outside the skirt of the dress. The American bustle tends to be a lot less tricky than the French bustle. A-Line & ball gowns work best with American bustles. The French bustle is, typically, for mermaid silhouettes. Often, when the train is on the longer side, you create a double or triple bustle. This explains the “complicated” ones I have dealt with in the past. This is an example of an American bustle on an exquisite hand-sewn beaded, dropped waist, A-line gown.

Hi, everyone! My name is Theresa & I am a wedding coordinator based in Los Angeles .
I specialize in fabulous DOC packages. This is a dream job & I appreciate how fortunate I am to be able to travel to beautiful locations, meet fascinating people, & work with other talented vendors. Most importantly, I am a mommy & this career allows me the luxury to work around my daughter's schedule! When Abby (my daughter) is older, I will return to full on wedding planning. For now, DOCing is ideal. It seems, currently, "day of" coordinating is more in demand than wedding planning, anyway.
I put together this little blog to, hopefully, help people gather inspiration & ideas while planning their own, or someone else's, dream wedding. Los Angeles is home to a zillion unbelievable (& sometimes exclusive) resources. My goal is to offer at least a sliver of enlightenment. My background is in fashion design so there will, surely, be a ton of postings related to bridal fashion & art.
Don't be shy, leave comments! It will be fun to share all of our creativity with each other.
