We introduced you to this lovely couple a few days ago, but here are the rest of the photos from their beautiful day at Ojai Valley Inn and Spa.

After the ceremony, the bride and groom led their guests through the resort with a mariachi band in tow. The band played through the fun and casual cocktail hour and as guests made their way into the reception room. After a delicious meal (grilled asparagus with prosciutto and parmigiano-reggiano, braised beef short ribs, white sea bass, broccolini, truffle mac & cheese…can you say droooooool?), a full night of dancing ensued, followed by a sweet (!) dessert station with chocolate chip cookies, milk, lemon meringue tarts, and mexican wedding cookies. The night couldn’t have been more perfect!

And thank you to our amazing bride and groom for this glowing review – “Simply put, Shannon and Vikki are exceptional at what they do – when you combine their team approach with their personal touches, the result is excellence and an unforgettable event. Worth every penny. If you are looking for a coordinator, stop looking and just hire Shannon and Vikki – you won’t regret it.”

We wanted to take a quick moment to wish each and every one of you a Happy Valentine’s Day. Take a moment today to tell the people you love how special they are, how much they mean to you, and just how lucky you feel to have them in your life. And then take a moment to remember…

“All you need is love, love. Love is all you need.”

An adorable idea to put together for your bridesmaids on the day of the wedding would be a sweet little survival kit. Going to your local SavOn and purchasing the following items, you can add this sweet poem to explain the reasons for each item. So adorable and easy to do!

***************************************

This survival kit was made just for you,
So you can be cared for all the day through.

I hope that no tears should fall from your eye,
But here is a tissue if you should cry,

A mirror to look at your beautiful face,
So convenient it will fit in any small place.

Band-Aids if your shoes hurt you today,
You can take them off once my groom whisks me away!

I hope that a bright smile is upon your face,
Some mints should help to keep it in place.

It’s so much fun to dress up in our diamonds and pearls,
So here are bobby pins to help manage those curls.

A cd of music to recall this day,
so the memories never fade, come what may.

Some hugs and kisses for my dearest friends,
Our journey together has no end.

Thank you so much for all you have done,
Your support, your love, and all of the fun!

I hope this kit helps you and brings some glee,
It’s just a little thanks from this bride-to-be!

Everyone loves cupcakes and they are such a fun dessert option at weddings because they offer variety in a personal size portion.  But now the idea of cupcakes have gotten better due to Goldylocks over at Etsy.  She has created these adorable little cupcake sticks that can be toppers for your cuppiecakes and add some fun and pizazz to the “typical” dessert. Check em out!
