Reception with Lacy Branch Events

This is an example of the great work the Lacy Branch Events can do with any space. We worked with Lacy and her staff on this reception held in the hall pictured below. Look how the design of the event makes the room un-recognizable!







Before......













....and after.











Different centerpieces and linens were incorporated throughout the room to bring lots of interest to the tables. We did some low arrangements, satellites, and taller arrangements.

































Lots of details- like this knight- were important to the bride and groom. Lacy and her staff made it happen!









Thanks to Lacy Branch Events for bringing us in on this event!

Kohar & Raffi's Wedding!!

I think that I may actually have been equally if not more excited and impatient about seeing these pictures than the bride and groom themselves! When my friend Kohar started planning her wedding and was in search of a photographer, the first person that came to mind was my friend Jake who shoots for {Mike Larson}. We were classmates in college and I have been following his {blog} and always love seeing his beautiful photos so I knew he would be perfect for shooting Kohar and Raffi's wedding. Their {engagement photos} were just a glimpse of what was to come...these pictures from the wedding day are absolutely stunning! Not only were the bride and groom seriously one of the most gorgeous couples I have seen, but they made great models and the creative and technical skill level of Jake, Steven, and Necia is very impressive. As Jake called it in his blog, this was definitly a Big Fat Armenian Wedding - with its 400 guests and 3 day long celebration filled with lots of love, fun and tradition. I'm sure this was quite a challenge - it's not everyday they shoot weddings this big with a bunch of crazy people like us loud Armenians, but I think they did a fantastic job. I wish Kohar and Raffi a lifetime of health and happiness. Congrats to you both! <3

Ceremony at St. Francis Xavier

These are some good examples of decorations for a ceremony at St. Francis Xavier Church.



These colorful sprays were used on both sides of the altar.












While we were there setting up, these little darlings showed up for the wedding. Aren't they cute!!

Handmade Fabric Napkin Rings

This weekend was all about (much overdue) resting, sleeping in, enjoying downtown, and best of all catching up on some therapeutic craft time. I did some serious damage to my wallet at {The Cotton Ball} in Morro Bay as I have done before...and here is what I came up with for my first project using my new fabrics! Stay tuned for more to come :) These will be for sale soon when I get my {Etsy} shop up and running!
