One Fine Day & Tahoe Unveiled Featured on Utterly Engaged's site

I love being featured on blogs and in publications, especially ones as well designed as Utterly Engaged. Today AND yesterday they featured our event, Tahoe Unveiled, on the their blog. Take a gander below for more details!

Scott Corridan, In Style’s celebrity wedding planner, is going to take 3 regular ladies and dress them up in the perfect dress, get their hair and makeup styled, and show the audience how to look like a model on your wedding day. We want ladies with different figures – big butts/no butts, athletic, etc. – your normal lady!

Three lucky brides will be chosen to model on the event day, strut their stuff on the runway, and get bedazzled by Swoon Bridal SalonKiss and Makeup, and Cortney Knudson Hair Design.

The models will also receive 10% off the following for their wedding day:

- wedding dress purchased from Swoon Bridal Salon

- wedding makeup from Kiss and Makeup

- wedding hair up-do from Cortney Knudson Hair Design

Design Inspiration from Wedding 360

As promised, here are a few pictures from the Wedding 360 design seminar I attended a few weeks ago. I don't want to say too much about the first collage, as the pictures speak for themselves. The images walk you through the Museum of Petals dinner, which was held at the St. Regis San Francisco. The theme was 5000 petals, which is the amount of petals used to create this beautiful room. Gloria Wong and her team did a fabulous job.

Clockwise: Top images ~ the entrance to the Museum of Petals dinner. A modern display of white couches, floating candles, silver tables, and pink lighting create a fun and unique setting. The ice bar, courtesy of Chisel It, consists of beautiful arrangements on top of the bar as well as frozen inside the waist of the bar - super creative!

Middle ~ Petals blanket the dinner tables, while floating candles in clear vases add a warm touch to the setting. A man made tree (courtesy of Gloria Wong and her team) stands elegantly in the center of the room with petals hanging from every angle. It serves not only as an eye catching design, but also as the focal point that justifies the surrounding accents.

Bottom ~ Petals carefully sprinkle the linens including the floor-to-celling fabric, which creates a warm atmosphere and soaks up empty space.

A few of our unbelievably inspiring educators. Pictured here: Youngsong Martin of Wildflower Linens, Catherine Hall of Catherine Hall Studios, Tara Guerard of Tara Guerard Soiree, champagne for our tasting compliments of the Henry Wine Group and Componere Fine Catering, the fabulous Jean Marks and Jubilee Lau (hosts of the event and producers of Wedding 360) pictured with Grace Ormonde of Grace Ormonde Wedding Style, our seminar room in the St. Regis San Francisco, and one of the panels featuring Youngsong Martin, Catherine Hall, and Grace Ormonde.

Phenomenal Design Seminar!

I feel so unbelievably inspired after listening to and learning from the creme de la creme of the wedding industry. More to come soon from who we met, our favorite designers, and so much more! The Academy for Planners and Designers
