Elements of this Event Design

• Inspiration: Architecture structure of Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels and colors of a sunset
• Ambiance: Modern-elegance, romantic charm
• Color palette: burnt orange w/a tinge of cranberry red and chocolate brown

The fall season is here. The leaves are turning to the reddish-orange color of the sunset and the weather is slowly getting cooler. I recently spoke to a bride about wanting a brown, burnt orange (think Sunrise Calla Lilly), and cranberry red color scheme for her fall season wedding. However, she didn't want the typical "Thanksgiving-like" feel to it. Simple, romantic, elegant yet modern was the mood she wanted. I immediately pictured an "Autumn in New York". I was inspired by the modern architecture of the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels in Los Angeles, which is the actual venue. I was also inspired by the season and the colors of a sunset. Here is an inspiration board that surely feels like "Autumn in New York". Enjoy!

Someone's engaged to be married!!!

My friend and my daughter's Godmother, Pia, just got engaged while on a cruise with her longtime boyfriend, Ryan Lising! They've been dating for A LONG TIME! So congrats to the both of you! I knew she would get engaged! Ryan picked out a gorgeous radiant cut diamond with two smaller diamonds flanking the sides of the big rock! Good job Ryan (and yours truly...yeah me!) for picking out the perfect rock for a sweet girl! Here's the picture! Enjoy!
