Happy Diwali

Diwali- A Festival of Lights!

Today we have on our blog Nathan to talk 

about one of the most cherished festivals in India. 

I come from a land with diverse culture, religion, languages, food, 

race and I am so Thankful for everything my culture has taught me. 

On the other side of the world at this very moment all my friends, 

family and relatives are celebrating the festival of lights-Diwali. 

Diwali is the triumph of good over evil. 

Family friends gather together to celebrate this 

joyous occasion by lighting lamps. 

Every single house has lamps lit and set of fireworks. 

When I was a kid my cousins would come over and we would play 

with fireworks all night long! Of course under adult supervision. 

When we get tired we would nibble on 

sweets ( good sugar rush to keep us going). 

We would play for 2 nights and its one festival we have a 

lot of fun. (2nd to Christmas....LOL)

A perfect way to put it is......Its Christmas with fireworks!!!

Since I cannot play with fireworks here I lit candles at ArtQuest 

and made a table top to reminisce my childhood.

I used pink linens which we call "Rani Pink" with 

Green Cymbediums, Yellow and Purple Calla lilies.

Enjoy!

Angelica and Benjamin's Wedding!

This was a wedding that we designed for the 

wonderful couple with vibrant and rich fall colors.

Angelica's bouquet was full with orange roses, 

orange mokara orchids, and deep red roses embellished 

with jewels and black feathers. 

The vibrant fall colors resonated throughout the wedding. 

We had a wonderful time and we wish 

the wonderful couple an amazing life together. 

Fashionable Witch

Of course costume, make up and creativity is 

what we look for at Halloween. 

So here we were inspired by WITCHES! 

This attire was put together with just two 

6 foot table linen and couple of pins. 

Paired with some red hot or hot pink shoes 

anyone would look awesome. 

Instead of going all black we tried to soften the look 

with soft pink roses and white phaleonopsis orchids. 

A simple table for your guest! 

And this is for you my Friend "Danny". 

I could style you in this attire or 

make you a look like an Indian Prince...

Hurry up and let me know ... Lots of Love.:-)

LeeAnn & Raymund's Wedding

This Blush Pink wedding of LeAnn and Raymund makes 

me want to incorporate all the blush tones more and more. 

LeeAnn carried a bouquet with blush pink roses, soft pink cymbediums, 

stephanotis and embellished with a broach. 

The Ceremony and Reception was at the Four Points by Sheraton 

and they exchanged vows under the gazebo draped with 

white fabric and lush white phaleonopsis orchids, 

blush pink roses, white hydrangea. The reception had a combination 

of centerpieces, tall centerpieces with blush pink roses, 

white hydrangea and hanging leis while the 

other tables had floating orchids and candles.

The Cake Riser was custom made with sheets of Bling. 

Amy Vargas from First Comes Love planned the wedding beautifully. 

Camille and Patick's Wedding.

The scripps seaside forum is a beautiful location for weddings

with the ocean as the background, the beach, 

and perfect for the couple that love the ocean.

Camille chose rich red tones for her wedding. 

With all red roses, white phaleonopsis orchids and white hydrangea

It was just wonderful.

 Red is so rich and is one of our favorite colors for weddings, 

it so rich, romantic and elegant.

We wish Camille and Patrick a wonderful married life together.

James & Amy's wedding in 

La Jolla at the Cuvier Club

Amy and James had chosen La Jolla to celebrate 

their amazing day with her closest of family and friends.

Tones of rich Purple and accents of subtle ivory 

were incorporated through out the wedding.

Deep purple lizianthus, purple dendrobium orchids 

and ivory roses set the tones for the wedding. 

The ceremony at St. James and reception 

at the Cuvier Club were just wonderful.

Wedding on the Renown Hornblower

This was a simple wedding over the hornblower 

with the rich tones of purple and white. 

For the bouquet we used purple vanda orchids, 

stephanotis, white roses wrapped with a frilly ribbon 

and embellished with a beautiful broach . 

The ceremony was on the deck with purple lizianthus, lavender roses, 

white hydrangeas, and lavender fabric blowing with the wind. 

The reception had the similar concept on the boat 

with purple lizianthus, lavender roses, white hydrangeas. 

The hornblower is always a wonderful choice 

be it a wedding or just a fun party.
