Favorite Wedding Estates, Palaces and Off Site Venues: Part 7

Last but far from least is in my opinion the most stunning palace I have ever seen. This palatial estate is located just outside of Paris and has played host to some of the worlds most illustrious soirees. Every time, I see this venue, I literally get choked up because the beauty of the architecture is so great. Hey what can I say, I'm a Taurus...I strongly identify with beauty and grandeur.

Last Minute Holiday Wedding

I just received an email from Michael and Anna Costa, with a link to view their work from the wedding of one of my sweetest couples, June and Jim.

In the first week of December '08, I received a phone call from a concerned bride who had a budget of $5,500 and wanted to get married on 12/30/08(which at the time, was only three weeks away). Though the bride and groom had been soul mates for nearly 8 years, and engaged for 6 of the 8 years, life got in the way a number of times, delaying June and Jim from making their love official. Just out of curiosity, I asked the bride why she was suddenly in such a rush. She replied "On December 30th, Jim is going to be turning 40. Being the romantic that he is, his only birthday wish is to get married." We've moved! Please find the rest of this post at: Ariel Yve Design

2009 Trends

I'm constantly asked about past, present and future trends in weddings, so I thought that that I'd take a moment to share what we'll be seeing in 2009.

The Setting:

With budgets tightening, it is projected that nearly 70% of brides will opt to have a destination wedding (non-hometown) in attempt to cut back on the guest list.


The Day-
Friday night. Most locations offer lower food and beverage for events not held on Saturdays. In Los Angeles, Fridays are typically the best value. In Santa Barbara, Sundays reign supreme in terms of cost savings. We've moved! Please find the rest of this post; Ariel Yve Design
