April 1st Wedding – No joke!

April 14, 2012 by Just Imagine Love: Weddings & Ceremonies

For their April 1 wedding celebration at Grand Pacific Palisades in Carlsbad, this couple playfully executed a fun springtime event with grace and whimsy.
From pinwheels in the arbor to argyle socks reflecting their gray & yellow theme, Katy and Troy were so fun and fun-loving!

Argyle socks reflect the fun spring-time wedding theme of yellow and gray

Cutest funnest blingiest bridal shoes ever!

Their creative execution of playful surprises throughout the wedding made this such a memorable event, and fun for their guests as well.
Friends and family got in on the act as well – Mother of the Bride created all of the centerpieces with florals from a wholesaler, and friends put set up a fun interactive Candy Bar for guests to take home goodies.

Katy & Troy: fun-loving and in love

“Gayle did everything we hoped she said she would and more. . . . it was absolutely the best choice we made in the entire wedding process. The fact that I could relax and enjoy my day with my new husband, family and friends knowing that everything was taken care of was invaluable.”

Wedding guests can make their own to-go bag favor of goodies from the candy bar!

Congratulations you two!

Sweets at Fluxx

November 19, 2011 by Just Imagine Love: Weddings & Ceremonies

Fluxx did it again!

What do you get when you combine sweets, cocktails and chocolate? Very happy girls 🙂

Fluxx continues to showcase their space in new and exciting ways, and last night’s New Theme Launch Party was no exception.

The Fluxx Sweet Shoppe offered different stations of cupcakes, rice krispie treats, chocolate fountains, and savories, and specialty coffees.

I tried not to hover over the cupcake table and had to restrain myself from eating more than the THREE I devoured. One was a deceptively simple chocolate with no icing – but bite into it and your mouth bursts with a little pop of pure liquid chocolate. Divine.

There was such attention to detail throughout the club, with giant lollipops hanging from the ceiling, a cotton candy station, and even magnified pics of confections on giant panels. I had to stifle the urge to go up and lick the wall a la Willy Wonka.

Congratulations to Emily Goldman, event manager, and Team Fluxx for another great showcase and for reminding us that a cutting edge club like Fluxx can be a great spot to create whatever you can dream up for your special event. www.fluxxsd.com/private-events

SideNote: Have to give a shout-out to my hardworking friend Nada Adjadj of SoBelle Favors who attend the Sweet Shoppe event as just a guest (for once!) She creates amazing confections for special events as well – check her out! www.sobellefavors.com

OK, my souvenir candy necklace keeps distracting me. Time for a treat . . .

Thank you Joanie

October 22, 2011 by Just Imagine Love: Weddings & Ceremonies

I heard some sad news yesterday. The wedding industry has lost one of the best: Joanie Scott of Joanie Scott Weddings.

Joanie was a bright star on the Orange County wedding scene. Many years ago, when I was just wetting my feet as a wedding planner, I met Joanie at a California state conference for the Association of Bridal Consultants.

She took me under her wing and for the next three years I assisted her on her events.

Joanie shared so much of her experience, knowledge, tips and tricks with me. She was so generous of spirit and ever compassionate.

Joanie had no qualms about pitching in and doing what needed to be done, no matter how grubby the job. More than anything she took care of everyone she worked with on events, from wait staff to photographers to DJs – always making sure they had what they needed to get the job done.

That, more than anything, has stayed with me, and I am forever grateful to have met and worked with her.

Joanie I will miss you. I can only hope I’ve done you proud.

Rest in peace.

Joanie Scott 7/ 11/1946 - 10/13/2011
