Shirley + Neerav 5.21.11

Hello Happy readers!

I am really excited to blog about Shirley & Neerav’s wedding.  This wedding was just beautiful!   Shirley & Neerav were such a gorgeous couple!  Every time Shirley entered the room everyone lit up.  Her smile & her laughter was pure!  Neerav was always making Shirley laugh.  There was never a dull moment with them.  You could sooooo see the love between this beautiful couple.

This wedding was a multicultural event.  Both Shirley & Neerav wanted to incoporate both their Indian and Mexican heritage into the wedding, so they had both a traditional Hindu ceremony followed by a beautiful Christian ceremony officiated by none other that Minister Lynn Turner with Weddings Performed.  It was two very beautiful ceremonies!

Shirley & Neerav had decided food was a key factor in their wedding.  They wanted to provide their guests with an amazing fusion on Indian & Mexican.  And the Hotel Derek & Bombay Brasserie did not fail in this task.  Bombay Brasserie provided an amazing array of Indian food throughout the day and for dinner & ended the night with hearty breakfast tacos with spicy salsa from the Hotel Derek.

Guests danced the night away with full color & fantastic tunes by DJ Yogi – G.  From Bhangra to Salsa to Hip Hop, he DID not fail to please the guests!  He made everyone kick up a notch with all their dancing!

I loved their wedding!  Their wedding matched the couple’s personalities.  Fun, Vibrant, Happy, Joyful, Beautiful, & Ultra modern!  Congratulations to Shirley & Neerav!

Here are some AMAZING pictures from Jesus Tirso with Decca Photography.  He was fun and energetic to work with!

What can I say about Courtney & Ben? They were such a sweet couple that every minute of the planning was  fun & fantastic!

Along with her SUPER MOM Toni, we planned an amazing event! She and her mom made for an amazing team!  They were such a wonderfully organized duo and knew exactly what they wanted! Watching the cohesion between the two of them and fun that they shared with each other made me SMILE! It warmed my heart and made me think of my little one and wished the same for when she gets married.

Courtney & Ben, congratulations and may you have constant and forever wedding bliss!!!

The wedding & reception was held at the gorgeous Chateau Polonez in Cypress,TX .  We feared that rain would be upon us but prayed and prayed very hard that it stopped literally just in time!!! :-)

Here are some FABULOUS pictures from the amazing Ruven Rivera from Allure Photography.  He was such a pleasure to work with him!  Thanks Rueven!  If you look hard enough you might little old me! ;-)

Napkin folds can create a beautiful ambiance or a dreary drab

Friday, October 9th, 2009

Napkin folds?? What do you mean by that? Why would a napkin fold make or break a beautiful table?

A napkin fold is a very important aspect in creating beautiful tablescapes. To me the typical tri-fold napkin fold is so passe that it can make the event look like a flash back from the 80′s. I wouldn’t even suggest it for any type of event. What happens in a restaurant should stay at the restaurant…:-)

The newest trend in folds is creating a “pocket” of some sort to include the menu card. Another trend is to have it folded nicely laying over the table at each place setting.

You can even rent very nice satin napkins that are quite inexpensive and can really spice up the table without truly breaking the bank. It’s good to find napkins that have the ability to stand up on itself so that if you select a “bird’s of paradise” fold or a “candlestick fold” it will stand the test of time throughout the night.

Check out this site for different types of napkin folds: http://www.weddingdetails.com/planning/napkins.cfm

Linen napkins are best but to add “pop” to the even satin is wonderful.

Here’s some helpful websites that offer satin napkins:

www.partyclothshouston.com

www.covermesatin.com

www.overthetoplinen.com

www.linenhouse.com
They are all located in Houston,TX and not only do they offer napkins but a beautiful linens for tables & chairs.

Happy Planning!
