This lovely bride took DIY to a new level. I have to break it up in two posts because there’s so much to share! She had everything taken care of with lots of re-use and dare I say, upcycling. The centerpieces were clusters of old glass vases and vessels with roses, costas and baby’s breath. [...]

This clever hostess created a little burlap ditty bag with the bride and groom to be’s favorite candy, a cracker, pick and bib for the lobster bake and of course, a few fresh wipes. It looked fantastic on the table and every guest got into the candy before the party ended.

Sometimes a client comes along that makes my heart sing. This is one such client. She adores her hubby and loves to party, just like me. She invited 11 guests to tour the Marina on segways… and we provided a sit down hors D’oeuverie extravaganza on the playa. All the planets aligned, nobody said a [...]

When you need a post that isn’t there, try using an umbrella stand with a fence post. That’s what I did for this party. I also rented weights (sandbags) for the umbrella stands because I had so many, and when we ran out of those, we got big boulders from the parking area. I’m glad [...]
