Last year when we remodeled our kitchen we ended up with extra marble so we are going to now put it in our bathroom downstairs. Well in doing that I now have to get a new sink, faucet, back splash etc. Plus I have had the same shower curtain for 4 years, and I have 2 little boys that potty trained with it with not so great "aim" so it was time for a new one--ha!!!

This past week one of my favorite wedding vendors opened up the cutest bakery/tea shop known to man!!! I am just so happy for them, and can't wait for my new brides to have their cake tastings there!!! I have been using Ruze Cake House for about 2 years now for some of my brides and different events, and they are just the sweetest and have never created a cake I have not LOVED!!!! They joined forces with Teaspressa for the new shop and they just compliment each other perfectly!!!

Alyssa & Spencer were just a dream to work with...I mean can a couple be more photogenic?!? I was so excited when Alyssa's aunt,who is an AMAZING corporate event planner in the Bay Area for ROAR EVENTS, called to meet for coffee and talk about her niece's upcoming wedding. She was an amazing lady to go back and forth with, shoot off ideas with, and had the perfect vision for the day, plus she was just fun to be with. It was quite the team of vendors that all worked together to pull off Alyssa's vision, and how cool is it that whenever you needed place cards or signage the bride herself just whipped up the prettiest paper goods because she has her own hand lettering company!!!

Michelle & Derek are one of the sweetest couples I have ever worked with to date. Derek was the rare groom who was very involved in the planning and design process of their wedding. He even video documented the whole process, and I have to say his end result was amazing! Michelle is STRIKING when you see her--she literally looked like a VOGUE Bride model in all of her photos. From the very beginning she knew she wanted to incorporate a black and white stripe, and have the accent color be apple green.

Every wedding I do I get the same question asked as the big day arises about what to include in the welcome basket/bag. I thought I would put together my ideal welcome gift for an Arizona bride, but it can be easily adjusted for other states. First you need to pick what type of item you will be filling--mine is a sturdy bag over a basket just because it is easier to travel back home with. I always tell my couples to make a list of some of their favorites, and then include a couple local items unique to Arizona.
