Liza’s Wedding Part 2

Liza’s wedding 6.25.10 Part 1 – So many wonderful pictures!
Sunday, July 25th, 2010Hi Everyone!
Ok, I am going to back track on this one a little bit. Last year I had the DISTINCT & most HONORED pleasure of planning probably one of the most special & one of the most heartwarming events of my career. This special event confirmed to me that love can last and marriage is truely one-of-a-kind. The event that I planned was the 50th wedding annivesary of Liza’s parents. It was such a lovely event surrounded by all of their beautiful daughters & their families! Both Liza & her other sister Clari had contracted me to do this amazing and wonderful event and I loved every minute of it!
So when it came time to plan Liza’s wedding, Liza & Clari once again decided that having a wedding planner for Liza’s important day was extremely important. She wanted to ENJOY her wedding rather that having to STRESS over her day.
Liza had a beautiful wedding held at the Briscoe Manor. She incorporated both cultures from her and her fiance’s background. She had lovely Greek music playing during the cocktail hour and surprised her guests with a group of high school Greek Dancers to entertain throughout dinner. And decided to open the dance floor to Suavamente by Elvis Crespo.
To this couple, being of Mexican & Greek culture, was very important to them. They wanted to display their proud culture and traditions. I love it when couples incorporate their cultures into the wedding. And guess who blessed the dinner? Her 4 yearl old nephew! He was just sooo cute! He blessed the food with “God is good, God it great, Let us thank him for our food. How to we eat quietly!”
Here are some AMAZING pictures graciously provided by the lovely LOVELEE PHOTOGRAPHY! Margaret did such and amazing job and captured the Groom’s PANATHINAIKOS themed cake so well! It was too much fun. Thanks LoveLee! Oooh forgot about the cute dog that was part of the wedding, You rock Rocky M.D.!

Charlotte + Kristofer 6.19.10 – Personal pics :-)
Friday, July 9th, 2010Hi everyone!
I had the pleasure of planning this lovely couple’s yacht wedding. That’s right Yacht wedding! It was my very first time planning a wedding on a boat. I must say it was fun! The boat, the water, the yacht lifestyle…aahhhh I could really get used to that! Ahhh…yacht, lavish living…uh? oh sorry drifted away for a bit! 
Anyway, Charlotte & Kristofer were such a gorgeous and wonderfully sweet couple. They both love to fish and what better place to have a wedding? So you can say that the theme of this event was based on water, boat, & fish.
I enjoyed planning this unique and wonderful wedding with Charlotte. She knew what she wanted and had fun & youthful tastes.
Here are a few pics from the wedding. These are personal pictures..LOL…a bit fuzzy, a bit fun, uniquely me! Haha!
Enjoy!
Happy Planning!

Lotion & Handmade Candles – Z’handmade
Friday, July 2nd, 2010Looking for a lovely gift for either a family friend, bridesmaids, or wedding party? How about as party favors? I’ve decided to blog about my dear friend Zafrina Vellani with Z’s Handmade.
Whenever I find interesting items that are handmade, it just seems to be extra special. The thought of someone giving me something so special as a handmade lotion or a handmade candle makes me feel as if I was important in their lives.
She offers a wonderful variety of smells. Here’s a list of some of her most popular sales:
Desire – An alluring, sensual fragrance. Top notes of fresh citrus and vetiver and rose geranium, middle notes of jasmine, lily of the valley; and bottom notes of amber guise, vanilla, and musk .
Romance – A truly romantic, passionate fragrance. This unique aroma begins with top notes of fresh ferns and water lilies. Middle notes of fresh rose petals, clove, French jasmine, and lilac, with a background of sandalwood.
Kisses – A playful scent which begins with raspberry, blackberry, and strawberries. Has a note of coconut milk and fresh roses, and hint of Egyptian vanilla and amber musk
To name just a few. So as you can see she offers some tantalizing smells!
Here are some additional products that Z’s Handmade offers:
Soy lotion candle: Soy lotion candles, are also called body candles and massage candles. These are yet another type of candle, this one serving several simultaneous functions. While they light a room, provide a wonderful ambiance, and emit subtle fragrance, lotion candles also contain cosmetic ingredients that make them a superb body moisturizer and massage oil alternative. Because of their ingredients, a true lotion candle will melt at a very low temperature, usually at just 101 – 102 degrees. At slightly above body temperature, they are warm and not hot.
Body Butter: Our Body Butters are amazingly moisturizing, and the ingredients are top quality natural butters and rich oils. The Shea butter has often been called the ultimate moisturizer. It quickly melts and absorbs into the skin, and its suitable for all skin types. The Shea butter leaves your skin feeling really soft and smooth.
Wickless lotion candles: Wickless lotion candles are flameless, no wicks candles. Simply place them on a candle warmer and enjoy the lotion without a flame. Our wickless candles come in sizes of 8oz and 16oz. We offer them in a glass jars as well as a metal tin cans.
Think about it for your next event, whether it be for a wedding, bridal shower, family gathering, or if you just want to treat yourself to something nice.
Happy Planning!
