Friday Flowers: Cherry Blossom Chuppa

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Mine was absolutely fabulous.

My schedule has been overload for months, so it's always a treat when I can enjoy the day with my family.

Anyway, earlier this week, I came across this image of a stunning blooming chuppa/canopy. We've moved! Please finish reading this post Ariel Yve Design

Wednesday Inspiration: JLo Inspired Wedding Cake Design

On Monday I posted a picture of JLo's Birthday cake, created by Sylvia Weinstock.

As I'd mentioned I was (literally) drawing inspiration from her cake for a wedding cake that I was designing for one of my January brides.

Though I studied drawing techniques when I attended the Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC, I've always been super shy about sharing my sketches. I guess I just worried that people wouldn't understand my perspective. We've moved! Please finish reading this post at: Ariel Yve Design

JLo's Birthday Cake

Last week I had the great pleasure and fortune of attending a presentation given by the fabulous Ms. Sylvia Weinstock. As you all know I'm a huge fan of her work (she created my wedding cake). She showed slides of a few of her personal favorite and most talked about creations...one of which was a picture of MY WEDDING CAKE! OMG! Hello! I was totally blushing : )

Anyway, another one of Sylvia's favorite creations was this birthday cake that she and her team created for JLo. We've moved! Please finish reading this post at Ariel Yve Design

Wednesday Inspiration: San Ysidro Wedding

The past few days have been beyond busy. While in Indianapolis, my emails, client requests and vendor questions piled up mile high. My apologies, for not posting sooner.


Anyway, this week's inspiration board is a bit of a sneak peak of a wedding that I'm coordinating this weekend at the San Ysidro Ranch in Montecito, CA (Yay!).


The bride hired me less than a month before her big day to plan everything from start to finish. The colors we're using are aqua/sage, cream and lavender, and the theme is rustic, romantic glam.

Wednesday Inspiration: Pink!

Happy Wednesday!

Today, I've gone pink...very pink. Though I'm always looking for the newest and hottest color trends, my clients dreams continually remind me that pink is is still king (or in this case queen). We've moved! Please follow us to Ariel Yve Design

New Business Cards

I hope you had a wonderful weekend full of candy and fun.

This past Friday, I picked up a little treat of my own from Frank Boross of Toxic Coyote Press. My new letterpress business cards! Note, these images were taken with my iPhone, so they actually look a lot better in person. Enough said about my crappy photography skills, here they are:
