Wendy + Dennis 10.23.10

Saturday, December 4th, 2010

Well hello there! How have you been doing? Me, quite well thank you! Been busy with lost of wedding this month so I’ve been lacking in my bloggin’ duties. Perdon!

I had the pleasure of being a part of Dennis & Wendy’s most fun wedding! EVERYONE had a blast at this wedding! From the minister who is her Uncle from Tiawan to all the guests who flew is from almost every continent on this planet! They danced the night away with songs from the past & present! It truly was a wedding that I feel honored to have been a part of! Thanks Wendy!

So here’s a few details of the lovely bride & her wedding. They had contacted me approximately two years ago and where deciding between Boston & Houston. Boston is where the lovely couple met Houston was their home. So after much thought & meditation, they decided on Houston. Yay me! So began the process of this wonderful wedding.

They decided to follow some ideas of David Tutera for their wedding ceremony, by hanging red ribbon with a yellow carnation on a very beautiful tree. Red, yellow, or gold are very important colors in the Chinese culture. Representing good luck, health, & wealth. We could all use a little of that!

Instead of doing the traditional, Wendy decided to have a cocktail hour BEFORE the ceremony! So as the guests arrived on School buses (Wendy being a teacher) they enjoyed a cool beverage of either Mexican beer, Blue Moon beer, Mexican coke, & some other yummy delights! Her guests were her TOP priority!

After the ceremony had ended, the guests were transported to Fung’s Kitchen where several absolutely amazing dishes were served course after course! I love Chinese weddings! We love love to eat eat!!!

A photobooth, uplighting and draping completed the decor. She transformed this into her personal space!

Instead of doing the traditional wedding cake, she wanted to incorporate his & her love for Super Mario Brothers. So with that in mind Cakes by Gina made this truly amazing cake that awed all the guests & staff alike. Since Dennis likes to grill alot, Wendy decided to also have a BBQ grill to represent his ability!

Charlotte + Kristofer 6.19.10 – Personal pics :-)

Friday, July 9th, 2010

Hi 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!

Yanh + Travis – 5.1.10 – personal pics! :-)

Thursday, June 24th, 2010

Hi Everyone!
While I am waiting for the fabulous pics from the photographer I’ve decided to go ahead and blog about this wedding. Please be advise (time and time again..LOL) I am not a good photographer!

I recently did a beautiful wedding of Yanh & Travis. They are such a cute & bubbly couple. Yanh was so sweet & fun to be with and her fiance Travis was always by her side planning it along with her. I love it when fiances are involved.

This was a day of coordinating event so many of her vendors were already selected. All her vendors where wonderful to work with! Take a look at the cake! 9 layers!!

Reception was held at Ocean Palace Restaurant in Houston,TX…OK I have to send a shout out to them..IF YOU LOVE CHINESE/VIETNAMESE food…you LOVE LOVE THEM!! OH my the food was some of the best food at a wedding. It was delish!

Here are a few of pics I took of the wedding. Enjoy!
Happy Planning!
Sincerely,

Agnes + Lam 1.23.10

Monday, April 5th, 2010

So what can I tell you about my lovely bride Agnes? She sweet, smart, & undeniably funny!! I enjoyed planning her wedding and with her as there was NEVER a dull moment! From the invites to her glittery gold pumps, every minute with her was like planning a dear old friend’s wedding. Lam was as sweet as a button and one of nicest grooms you’ll ever meet.

So with that in mind Agnes had a vision of simplicity chic! Simple, elegant, clean lines, & very very feminine. She selected the gorgeous Hilton Hotel Post Oak. She was the type of bride that enjoyed the planning process. She tasted it…she touched it… she felt it and she changed it…dresses that is! She had 4 dress changes. 1. Traditional wedding dress 2. Vietnamese wedding dress 3. Korean wedding dress & 4. Fun party dress for dancing!

Oh, and I HAVE to talk about the cakes done by Cakes by Gina…OH MY!!! Her wedding cake design was a complete surprise! That’s right folks! Cakes by Gina created this based on her wedding dress & her personality. She wanted to give Agnes “bling bling” and made edible jewelry. OH, not the mention the groom’s cake!!!! Have you ever seen such a realistic bowl of Pho? From the chopsticks to the jalapeno peppers..everything was edible!

Here are a few images that were graciously provided by the Oh so wonderful! Steve Lee with Steve Lee Weddings. He and is staff captured the moment as always….beautifully! Click on the image for larger picture.

Enjoy!

Happy planning
