2010 Wrap Up (Master Bridal Consultant, Gratitude and Animals)

As 2010 draws to a close, I sit here in my cozy home thinking about how grateful I am for everything in my life.

With that said, this year was by not means easy.  For me, 2010 started off with the loss of the love of my life (Corky), and a crushed event industry due the global economic crisis.  Fewer couples are getting married and even fewer companies are having parties.  However, I believe change is the catalyst for greatness, and many great things filled my life this year.  If you're one of my Facebook fans, you probably know that I was recently named the YOUNGEST MASTER BRIDAL CONSULTANT in the WORLD!!!!!

It's all Relative...Part I

Relationships. You might ask what they have to do with a wedding blog; the answer? Everything! 

As an event coordination company, we sometimes find ourselves walking a delicate tightrope between keeping our clients happy and maintaining good relationships with our trusted vendors. I believe 100% in going the "extra mile" and asking our vendors if they are vegetarian, so that in the few minutes we have to grab a bite while, they don't end up with just a salad on a workday that often lasts 8 or more hours. I also trust that if vendors have very specific dietary needs, they are professional enough to bring their own snacks. We planners try very hard to balance between our own preferences (I would personally love it if there were a rule that no bar or drink station be more than 50 feet from the CENTER of the dance floor) and our clients' specific requests.

As 2010 winds down, I'm starting to look forward to all of the inspiring and beautiful wedding's I get to be a part of in 2011.

The first of which will be that of Marcella and Sergio's....their over-the-top February wedding will take place in one of LA's most exquisite Churches and Ballrooms.  Marcella's colors are deep red and gold with touches of black.

Sitting Pretty, Event Chairs

One of the simplest ways to transform an event space is by changing the seating from the standard ‘wedding chairs,’ to seating that truly enhances the décor.

Some fun examples that have been catching my eye lately;

These Louis "Ghost" chairs create a perfect modern-meets-antique look and allow for endless customization with cushions, name cards - but are stunning on their own. Make sure that linens reach the floor or go all-out mod with Lucite tables and bright pops of color to really wow guests. We've moved! Please join us at: Ariel Yve Design

Friday Flowers: Wicker and Roses

I adore garden roses, and chances are you do too if you like my blog.  These images are from a personal flower and wedding cake pairing feature that Martha Stewart Weddings did a while back.  Aren't these peachy blush colors divine?  We've moved! Please join us at: Ariel Yve Design
