"Cuisine in Casablanca" Event for Ceremony Magazine!

Jim & Amy Harrick of Ceremony Magazine pulled out all the stops at Rancho Valencia Resort & Spa on October 20, 2009 for their annual event to thank their wedding industry advertisers. You MUST, MUST, MUST check out the fabulous (and useful!!!) California Wedding Wave website at www.californiaweddingwave.com/!!! The beautiful pictures were captured by 2 Rings and a Dress Photography... that team is amazing! www.tworingsandadress.com/ Candee by Sandee provided a beautifully decorated table of tasty candy themed after "Cuisine in Casablanca". I don't think our candy table ever looked better under a beautiful tent by Raj Tents www.rajtents.com/!!! Planning the event for Ceremony Magazine was the industry expert, Carolyn Chen of The Special Day www.thespecialday.net/. What a great night! Thanks Jim & Amy!

(I apoligze that the picture above is from my little pocket camera! Sorry, 2 Rings & a Dress!!! Please go to www.californiaweddingwave.com to see the REAL, professional pictures!!!) I just couldn't wait to get permission to use their photos to share with you all!!!

The Knot Network Event

Long overdue is our shout out to all the wonderful people we worked with on the Knot Magazine Network event at the Aquarium of the Pacific on September 23, 2009! Brandi Smith of High Society Wedding & Event Planning put together a "grand, high society event" for our gracious host, Shannon Ratcliffe of The Knot Magazine. The Long Beach shoreline, with the Queen Mary across the harbor, was a beautiful backdrop for this highly anticipated event. Capturing every moment, was Tracey Hanson of 2 Rings and a Dress Photography (http://www.tworingsandadress.com/)! Tracey's work is amazing... see more pictures from the event on Brandi Smith's blog http://www.highsocietyeventplanning.com/.

The Candee by Sandee candy bar was adorned with a gorgeous, towering floral creation by Jacks and Bellas. It was breathtaking and showcased our coordinating candies beautifully! Note to self... the jeweled almonds were a big hit!!!

Great food, great company... great fun! We certainly can't wait for the next one!

I've decided a "Blog Gap" is like a Black Hole

We apologize for the "blog gap"... all this new-fangled new age stuff... But we are really committed to regular posting! A LOT has happened in the 10 months we fell into the "blog gap"! We'll try to "recap" over the next few weeks and get caught up! Keep checking back... we have greast stuff coming up, too. Paul is REALLY looking forward to "Mopars at the Mansion"... PLAYBOY Mansion, that is!!! October 17th... stay tuned!
