    Jessie and Zack's wedding at The London Hotel



    On May 16 I had the honor of coordinating Jessica and Zack's wedding at the gorgeous London Hotel in West Hollywood. The ceremony was held at dusk on the rooftop and the aisle was lined with different size candles marking the way to the Chuppah covered with a Pave style Roses, Hydrangea, Lisianthus, and Cymbidium Orchids. Floral was done by the fabulous Lindy of Commerce Flowers. Ficus trees and hedges were brought up to the roof to warm up the space and make it intimate.Cocktail hour was held around the pool and cabanas with the fireplaces blazing and waterall flowing.

    The reception was spectacular. Custom lighting was provided by Aspect Lighting, music was provided by The James Gang of West Coast Music and the 9 musicians kept the floor rocking! Everyone danced so much that night! The tables were set with white pintuck linens, gold crush napkins, and different sizes of floating candles. The centerpieces were gorgeous arrangements of Cream, Lavender, Anna, and Sahara Roses, Hydrangea, Green Cymbidium Orchids, Lavender Lisianthus, and Green Amaranthus set on a tall vase with Cymbidium Orchids floating inside. Famous chef Gordon Ramsay is the executive chef of The London and the food was to die for. The cake was made by Hansen's Bakery. Late in the evening favors of milk and cookies were provided by Lulu's Mondel Bread. Photos were taken by the insanely talented and wonderful Josh and Michelle of Mi Belle, Inc. Wedding Photography and video was captured by Kim and Adam of Skyline Videography. Jessie's beauty was done by Mariah Nicole and Glitz of Beverly Hills. A huge thank you to my assistants Krista, Dani, and Annette--I could not have done it without you!

    The day was beautiful and wonderful and the love that Jessie and Zack have for each other was shared by all of their family and friends. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your special day!

    A Hollywood Evening

    Despite the torrents of rain assaulting Los Angeles, last night was way too cool for school. The evening started with a tasting for one of my May weddings at the new faaaabulous West Hollywood hotel The London. We actually saw the infamous chef Gordon Ramsay as we were tasting in a private room in his restaurant. I don't watch Hell's Kitchen, but I'm familiar with his persona, and I heard from a good source last night that it's not an act!

    The London is unbelievably beautiful. I'm a texture loving person and every surface in that building I just want to pet and caress. After Jessie and Zack chose their yummy looking menu, we talked linens, chairs, lighting, and logistics. It is going to be a FABULOUS wedding!

    After I left The London I headed over to the new SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills for the Hip Hostess Series hosted by wonderful The Hostess With The Mostest blog and Chambord liquor. Yet another gorgeous new hotel!
    Harmony Walton, editor of getmarried.com and owner of The Bridal Bar introduced me to Hostess With the Mostess' owner Jennifer Sbranti and I fell in love with her a little bit more when she told me that her strapless black dress was from Forever 21 and the feather in her hair from Michael's Craft stores! I love a girl who can rock it without feeling the pressure to wear some name brand and has the guts to say it! My kind of girl.


    The event at the SLS was great, I picked up some good tips from Jennifer when she spoke about entertaining, and the Chambord and Champagne drink that I had was yummy.

    I guess last night was one of the few days where being a wedding planner actually felt a little glamorous. Today I'm back in my PJ's in front of my computer...
