Jenna and Robert featured on Style Me Pretty!

This morning I received one of my regular "Google Alerts," but rather than one of the expected updates, I saw that Style Me Pretty's Little Black Book Blog featured Jenna and Robert's perfectly rustic Ojai Valley Inn wedding.  We've moved! Please join us at Ariel Yve Design

Wednesday Inspiration: Cinco De Mayo!

Ok, so I promised that I'd announce the winner of my Dream Garden Challenge over the weekend, but the winner opted to be the gracious bride that she is, and not take the prize because she already had her veil figured out.  Soooo....that means that I get to hold another contest : )  If you have any contest ideas, I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Anyway, today is Cinco De Mayo!  In celebration of the holiday, I wanted to share this fabulously colorful rehearsal dinner created by Sunny from White Lilac Inc. (my favorite OC florist).  The last time I was in Sunny's studio, she was just getting ready to do this event.  She told me about her adventures of going down to a local Mexican market to pick up 100+ cans of beans, so she had the right vases/containers to fit her vision and how the store clerks were giving her the "stink eye."  I guess you had to be there...the way she described it was hilarious : )

Napa Wedding Venue: Auberge du Soleil

Ariel Yve Design now an official Little Black Book member of Style Me Pretty! 

In honor of our new Napa-Sonoma Listing, I've asked Sara, my fabulous Northern California Event Specialist to do a blog post about one of her favorite wedding venues in Napa. 

I am honored to have the opportunity to be Ariel's Northern California assistant.

Event Specialist and today's "featured blogger". Wine Country Weddings have become more and more popular. Not that this is a surprise, given how incredibly beautiful the area is and how many gorgeous venues there are. One of my absolute favorite venues, Auberge du Soleil captures the area's most majestic views, refined service, and fine wine country cuisine.

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.
