Table Design Tuesday: Spanish Opulence


With flamenco dancers in mind the table aims to transport you to gorgeous Spain. The team’s choice of deep maroon and purple is an homage to both flamenco dancers' attire and Spain’s most well-known and beloved beverage: Sangria. Every detail, from the beautiful dahlias at each place setting and the grandiose Spanish chairs, to the lace inspired pattern of the linen and dishes, were meticulously chosen to enhance the extraordinary Spanish vignette.

Wedding Wednesday: Chelsea & Timothy


Chelsea and Timothy performed their vows at the beautiful Centennial Park in Coronado surrounded by friends and family.  The San Diego skyline set the scene for the couples knot tying ceremony and afterwards, the charming Felicity Trolley took the bridal party to cocktail hour at the El Cortez.  Guests enjoyed a meal of fresh caught fish and locally grown roasted vegetable and truffle potatoes and friends at Cismontaine Brewery provided a variety of craft beer as a gift to the happy couple. After a night full of dancing, tears of joy and plenty of pictures in the photo booth, Chelsea and Timothy left their perfect night in a pedi-cab that whisked them away to their bridal suite.

Table Design Tuesday: Ruffles & Romance


This table was created to reflect the soft romantic elegance of Temecula Wine Country.  The accents consisted of vintage milk glass plates, goblets and soft ruffled white linens with pearls on top of various white flowers.  A table design or wedding that has an all white color palette is hard to carry off, but we think this table did the job magnificently.
