Sneaking Around!

At our last wedding the groom gave his guys personalized All Star Converse. So great! We lined them all up so after the ceremony the guys could change before they start dancing!

The best part was each of the guys names or nicknames on the back of the shoe. The groom wore a navy leather pair to match his navy suit.

GREAT IDEA

I Thought I was prepared but…

Every weekend as I have said before I learn something…I have been doing this a LONG time and I’m always open to become better and learn as much as my shrinking brain can handle.

This weekend my client hired a fabulous company  “Visual Therapy” that handled styling for the Bride, Mom and Wedding Party.

Now me and my staff always bring an emergency kit and a suitcase filled with “Just in Cases” but this team packed it all up and put it all out! I took pics because if I listed everything you would go to someone else’s blog :)

Take notes as you look at the pics …there is way too much stuff but if you scale it down and think of the gals and what they may need…jolly ranchers are great because being a little nervous before the ceremony makes mouths dry.

I kept sneaking them (watermelon my fav) because I was starving …LOL

The Gals that Lunch

Hi Friends…We have been hired to do several luncheons this summer…This birthday luncheon was in the clients garden, June in Los Angeles and it rained that day.

So we moved the tables under an awning and got large market umbrellas. It was misting for an hour and then the sun peaked out….funny because when it was raining, all the guests were saying “oh it’s cold” so when turned the heaters on the sun started coming out..

and then all the guests starting saying “oh it’s so warm” …we always have to be ready

for all elements! Remember to find out the honorees favorite treats. We used a crystal bowl filled from our clients home (a little too big) with pastels mints the birthday girls most favorite… Then at the end of the day we can make EVERYONE happy…

The party favors were these linen tissue packets for a ladies purse…”Happy Tears, Happy Years. ”

Enjoy the pictures, enjoy your weekend and enjoy life… as we learned the last few days life is short …RIP Farrah Fawcett, Michael Jackson and lets not forget Ed McMann too!

Oh follow me on twitter @MindyWeiss kinda really getting into it…

An "Inviting" Invitation

Hi. When Inviting Company asked me to help them design some modern, cute and colorful invitations for the Mindy Weiss Collection  I was out of my mind with excitement! I’m a paper-holic so this was really a dream come true..Just wanted you to know that I will be in Atlanta speaking at the Atlanta Gift Show for the Inviting Company on July 9th. Please come say hi….

Oh a prediciton… not because they are in my line…but… the frosted cups with all the cute wedding terms are going to be the hottest seller around! Love them, and you can recycle them and use them at several of your friends showers…

A Cake Topper to "Die For"

Hi friends…don’t know if you saw on twitter that I had to run out the day of the wedding to complete a last minute dream request from the bride that she would love “Day of the Dead” Bride and Groom figures for her wedding cake. Our wedding was at The Grand Del Mar http://www.thegranddelmar.com/ FANTASTIC by the way, but I plan to write a whole blog on the hotel! Well Paige Levy (amazing wedding manager at the hotel!) said “I know where you can go” she put me in a car and off I went to Encinitas with a big hope that I could find these treasures! I just would hate coming back empty handed!

Jackpot! I found this fantastic large happy couple, too big to put on the cake…

but wanted to find an option if the bride didn’t want to put them on the table so I found baby ones too to for the cake topper.

I got back to the hotel like a proud peacock, went right to the brides room and she wanted all of them yeah…and I loved how it looked. It personalized the wedding and pulled all the quests toward the cake to see what was going on! Her Toasting glasses were the ever popular Swarovski  Crystal Champagne Flutes and she used the Mindy Weiss Cake Knife Set to tie all the bling together… thought I would take a pic of that too :) Enjoy
