Grace & Paul {9.19.2009}

I am back from the "Wedding MBA" conference, where I learned sooooo much. It was great being in a room filled with hundreds of other wedding professionals. I am motivated to start applying the things we learned. Especially in the time management area....lol where they told us to stop with the checking emails constantly. I'm not sure I'm going to be able to break this habit. I love staying in touch with the brides.

Since my internet access at our hotel was, to say the least, horrible! I didn't get to post pictures of Grace & Paul's wedding from last week. Their wedding was held at a beautiful private home in the Los Altos Hills where the back drop of the bay area was just stunning. Zita and Jim's home was the perfect setting for Grace's wedding. The day was pretty HOT, but the infinity pool seemed to visually cool things off (I was tempted to jump in every time I walked passed it).

I am bummmmmed that I didn't get to take pictures of the bouquets, but at least I had the opportunity to take pictures of the ceremony flowers and reception decor. I absolutely loved the way the lanterns and succulents turned out on the kings table!

With the exception of the flowers,Dino Casazza, of Casazza Catering, provided the tables, chairs, linens, umbrellas and just about everything else for Grace and Paul's wedding. His team did a spectacular job! As I was walking by the prep station to move some arrangements around, they allowed me to sample a little bit of the walnut, Gorgonzola hors d'oeuvre thing they were serving--it was so yummy.

With out further ado...or is it further adieu?? With out further delay...here they are.
