Sorry for the lateness of my thank you.... I was hoping it wouldn't take so long for these proof because I'd wanted to send the note with a photo. Here they are just the same - please let me know if you want any I'd love to make a present of them to you.Seriously, thank you so much for all the hard work put in by you and your team. I (and Sam) appreciate it more than you will ever know -- we're STILL getting compliments from both sides of the family. The flowers look absolutely gorgeous in these photos - like a magazine. I love my hair and makeup too - could you pass this link along to Misha too? I'd love to share this with him.I'm afraid in my sudden camera-shyness I didn't tell you how much you blessed me, and I'm sorry for that. I don't have enough words to tell you what you and your team mean to me so but I can say that will certainly recommend you to everybody!!! Thanks again, all our best wishes for more beautiful weddings!Love,The Garcias

Jenia & Arnold July 12, 2008

Two events in one day. No problem!

Jenia and Arnold are a couple with modern taste. They wanted a non-traditional wedding. So when I referred them to The Hotel Valencia they felt is was the perfect site for their special day.




The French Connection offers unique line of stationary and Jenia was able to find a Save The Date announcement along with an invitation that fit perfectly with the wedding she and Arne were to have at Hotel Valencia.




Jenia and Arne were great. They entrusted me to create the day they had envisioned. When it came time to pick her floral and design she picked out one picture of flowers that she liked. She told me to create the rest. It was very nice to have her trust and the freedom to pull together the wedding for her.

We made their escort cards, menus and table numbers to match her invitations. The Citrus restaurant was a glow of candles and punches of color from her floral choice were splashed around. It was fun to use to strong colors in this space.





On the wedding day the bride, her daughters along with both mothers of the bride and groom had their hair and makeup done by The French Connection team of artists. After slipping into her gown Jenia was able to sneak downstairs so our photographer could get a few shots of her. She looked so gorgeous in this gown! I had so much fun shopping with her to pick it out. I think it fit her perfectly.



The ceremony was held on the 3rd floor courtyard at the hotel. Since it is pretty warm in July we placed paper fans on each of the guests chairs.



The bridal party consisted of the bride and groom's children. It was a very nice intimate ceremony.

Following the ceremony the guest were directed to the 2nd floor outside of the Citrus Restaurant where they enjoyed passed hor'd and cocktails. The bride and groom quickly finished their pictures and joined their guests. After cocktails the guests were allowed to enter the restaurant to find their seats.

The wedding favors were Truffles for a Cause. A portion of the cost for each truffle went to Samm Ministries. This such a great service. The boxed chocolates were not only good it was nice to know that a portion of the money spent was given to charity.

Dinner then cake and then it was back out to the dance floor for the toast and dancing. The French Connection DJ kept every one going until the end.

We finished off the evening with coffee and assorted biscotti.

The next day the couple left for a family cruise. I went back to the hotel and retrieved their tuxedo and wedding gown. The couple did not have to worry about a thing. I even wrapped and placed the top tier of their cake in their freezer.
