OPEN HOUSE

Tue, 29 Jan 2008 22:56:00 +0000

We know we could not be successful without the great partnerships and working relationships with vendors on any wedding or event. So....Monday, we invited many of our friends, or should I say wedding vendor professionals to come by, say hi and tour our new office. Not a big office tour as the space is under a 1000 sq feet, but we had our doors open for about 7 hours...we were blessed with [Jasmine Star's](http://jasminestarphotography.com/) early arrival as we asked her to document part of the day for us. We can't wait to work with her as she is so stylish and artistic, she happens to be gorgeous too, I begged her for a head shot! We couldn't have had such a great event with out all the savories and goodies. Big thanks to [The Cake Studio](http://thecakestudio.us/) - cupcakes, [Marti Chocolatt](http://martichocolatt.com/)-for the custom blue chocolate party favors, [White Lilac](http://whitelilacinc.com/)- perfectly matched floral concept based on a paper napkin we gave them, [Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory at the Block in Orange](http://rmcf.com/)-carmel apples in 5 flavors and chocolate covered strawberries, [Jin Patisserie](http://jinpatisserie.com/)-pistachio/orange macaroons, [Fiori Fresco](http://fiorifresco.com/)- cake platters, buckets, linens. And a party must have entertainment, so of course [Peter P](http://Viveinc.com/) set up his sound system in the back...luckily there are vacancies next door. More importantly, thank you to all that made it or tried to come, we really appreciate your support. Drivers from Riverside, SD and LA, we know it's not easy so thank you for making the extra effort.

Peacock Feathers

Sun, 27 Jan 2008 23:48:00 +0000

I was excited to get this CD of images from the famous [Frank Salas Photography](http://franksalas.com/) for the wedding of Lisa and Jake Otis. Lisa loves peacock feathers and wanted them throughout her bouquet and floral arrangements. She enlisted the talented Sunny of [White Lilac](http://whitelilacinc.com/) who Lisa knew from the work side to create a gorgeous ceremony site. Thick lush carpet of petals, full arch above, flower bouquets on chair aisles...I have not seen the gazebo at the St. Regis more gorgeous than it was that day. A Jazz Trio from Essence Entertainment played for the ceremony and for Lisa to walk down the aisle to "Unforgettable" by Nat King Cole. Guests dined in the wine cellar, surrounded by hundreds of wine bottles and candles. Lush floral arrangements in wrought iron graced the tables and linens from [Wildflower](http://wildflowerlinens.com/) Lisa and Jake really surprised their guests with luggage tags from Louis Vutton. They were also perfect seating card holders! To see more images, click on slideshow by Frank Salas [LINK](http://www.franksalas.com/show/otis/) -Jeannie

Featured in Los Angeles Weddings!

Christy Conzelman and Matthew Griswold at Richard Nixon Library. This was such a beautiful wedding and we were so thankful the rain stopped, or just slightly drizzled. The colors were true fall inspired; with rich caramel, gold, paprika, burnt orange, bronze and chocolate. I was able to work closely with Christy's mom, who was amazing, a lady with great taste! She surprised Christy with a lounge area, which was a big hit as it was not as common in 2006. We owe this entry and feature to the talented photographer, Jules Bianchi. Jules is creative and as an artistic eye for photography as her background was in the movie industry. Take a look at her blog and website as she also does family portraits and baby photos. [Jules Bianchi Website](http://julesbianchi.com/) To see more of Jules work and this wedding, pick up Los Angeles Wedding Magazine which is on newstands now.

Wedded Bliss in Beverly Hills

Mon, 14 Jan 2008 10:05:00 +0000

Yaas and Jason chose a luxury landmark, [The Beverly Hills Hotel](http://www.thebeverlyhillshotel.com/) to host over 450 guests to their lavish wedding designed by the talented Sunny Ravanbach of [White Lilac]( http://whitelilacinc.com/home.html) and gracefully captured by [Victor Sizemore]( http://www.vcsphoto.com/). A 70ft long runway lined with floating candles led to a picture perfect altar adorned with lush florals in various shades of blush, creating the ultra romantic ceremony. Beautiful custom made centerpieces delicately strung with orchids were the natural focal points of the ballroom. Guests were treated to a delicious 4-course dinner and were allowed to choose their main entrée table side… major credit goes to the amazing banquet team at The Beverly Hills Hotel and especially Tiffany Lai, Catering Manager extraordinaire! Martik Band kept the dancefloor alive and packed the entire night, pausing only to allow Jason to serenade his new bride with a song written specially for her. An abundant fruit & tea station which also consisted of traditional Persian treats awaited the guests and made for a sweet send off. Best wishes to Yaas & Jason and thank you again for allowing me to share in your special day!- Michelle
