Black & Bling

Last month I attended The Wedding Salon bridal show at the Beverly Hills Hotel. Although the venue was a bit too small for the number of vendors exhibiting their products/services, it was great to attend a bridal show outside of San Diego. And, you can imagine, that a bridal show in Beverly Hills completely out-did any show here in San Diego. I'm originally from Los Angeles, so being at the show made me want to move back home again and coordinate more weddings in the "city of glam".

There were plenty of wonderful cakes to taste, free-flowing Hpnotiq martinis (my personal favorite vendor) and the event planner to the stars, Mindy Weiss, was present to sign her new book and sell products from her new "Two's Company" wedding line.

One of my other "favorites" that day was a unique wedding cake created by A Sweet Design. It was made using black fondant and lots of sparkling crystals between each tier. The matching centerpieces tied the theme together beautifully. My mind was racing as I envisioned all of the other touches that could be added to this "black & bling" (Old Hollywood style) wedding theme!

Of course, many people would cringe at the thought of a black colored cake for their wedding. But, it actually looked much more elegant than many cakes I've seen! Wouldn't you agree?

Magazine Debut!!!

Today, the latest edition of San Diego Style Weddings Magazine hits newsstands for 2008-2009. We're excited to announce that What A Wedding! will be featured in it for the next year, in 3 areas of the magazine: page 46 (our business Ad)... page 54 ("Wedding Consultants Pro's in the Know") ... and page 322 ("Vintage Charm" tablescape).

So, be sure to pick up a copy and also check us out on their website!

Sadly, the pictures selected on page 322 for the tablescape were not my choices, and they do our table design NO justice. Additionally, the colors we used are not clearly represented in the photos. And the beautiful floral arrangements created by Paula Rae of Rae Florae are difficult to see. So, in short... the true details, design and vision we had for our table was lost due to the pictures selected for the magazine. But, that's alright, because the table was truly beautiful in person!

So, below are some better pictures that I took during the tablescape photo shoot:
