Mr. & Mrs. Noah Cerda

On Saturday October 17, 2009 my baby cousin tied the knot to Mr. Noah Cerda. It was the first wedding I can say I cried. I always get a bit teary eyed but this was tears.

Heather and Noah met working together at Outback Steak House. I can remember when she first told me about how much she really liked him, but he did not know it yet. Then the day I gave birth to my son, Heather comes in the delivery room and tells me that they are officially together. She was glowing right next to me with my joy.

After help planning a wedding 200miles away, I think we got it just right. Heather changed her colors on us about 5 times, but I think the teal was wonderful. We added pops of oranges, yellows, dark purples. Then brought in branches and mosses to bring the outdoors into our decor. It was so pretty! I love it!

The wedding was absolutely breath taking! It was amazing and relaxing in it's very own way. The views of tress and lakes and cozy cabins. The weather could not have been more perfect!

After driving the decor,linens for 5 hours it all came together and most of all Heather made a beautiful bride. As I stood there getting her together I looked at her and still remembering when she was just a little girl! It was hard to realize that she was this beautiful women in front of me about to get married. Let's just say Noah is just lucky that I like him!! He is a great guy who ardors her.

People always ask me what is my favorite thing about weddings. I think one of them is the face on the groom when he first looks at his bride. He looked at her with all confidence but true joy! I have seen a lot of grooms and this one was pure love!

Everyone at the wedding had a good time and Mr. & Mrs. Noah Cerda had a glow of happiness!

You have my blessing and wish you nothing but happiness!

P.S. I will be there for your first baby too!! Love you!!

Everything Will FALL Into Place!

Ok! I will be very honest here! When I have a bride come to me and tell me that she want Pumpkins, oranges, etc in her wedding, my teeth start to grind.

It normally just does not make me fall into excitement! So what do I do? I find things to make it work and still accomplish class and helps me walk away with a set feeling.

So throw me any idea and I will make it work! I think I just may make some for myself for Halloween!!

Everyone Loves Cake!

Cake is something that everyone loves. If they don't eat it

They just want to see it!

My number one rule is never ever put your cake in the corner!!

Why spend all the money on and shove it in a corner where nobody will see it
Make your cake a wonderful focal point!

TIP: Pay that little penny more and get a cake that is flawless and delicious!

Yummy for Your Tummy!

Yummy, Yummy For

Every one's Tummy!!

Dessert and Candy Buffet Tables are a Hit!

Yummy, Yummy for my Tummy! Tell me about it. I walk away from every wedding I do candy and Dessert Tables for with about 5lbs extra pounds. I did my very first candy table for a wedding back in July 2008. The bride was a candy freak. So we included it in her wedding. Little did I know that it was going to turn into this HUGE hit around the world with brides. Then every bride I have had since wants " Candy Bar".

It is so much fun for you guest and the best part of all it is YUMMY! Coordinate with or without your color and decor scheme.. either was it will get eaten.

Found this little article on: www.projectwedding.com

Sinfully delicious and temptingly tantalizing, this White Sugar Dessert bar entices the palate with heirloom ceramic pieces topped with an array of confections. Jawbreakers, cupcakes and pile of sugar-dusted donuts topped with butterflies made for delectable drama, while meringues, nonpareils and mini-marshmallows were delicate and dainty. Vintage lace served as the textural base, while individual tags with ribbon tied everything together. The all white, candy-couture was nestled under a birch branch canopy for utterly sweet shelter!

Beware of SCAM!!

Today I received my first SCAM attempt ( I guess people can find me) I received a email from a UK bride that is looking for a "Good Wedding Planner". Needing me to plan everything from, photographers, video, locations, food, and much more. She is looking to spend about $25,000 on a guest count for about 50. She wants the ceremony and reception in one location wanting a June 13, 2009 wedding. The couple will not even make an appearance until 2 weeks prior to the wedding.

I did as I always do and respond to the bride and ask more questions and see what I can do for her. Then as I was logged on she IM'd me. So we chated a little more about what she wanted and when I asked her about payments she then proceed to tell me her fiance will send me a money order or figure out how he wants to do that. I sent her a copy of our contract and told her to look over it and let me know if any questions. I thought about how would I feel comfortable with payments from over seas. I told her it had to be made Wired Over, or through Pay Pal. ( I usually take other methods of payments) I continue to think to myself something was wrong. But then I thought just maybe it is not.

I get all the ball to call my "FAV" photographer and she begins to out a red flag up as well. Then she told me about this scam she has heard of etc. For me to be VERY careful! That other local wedding consultants did get scammed with this. That they are having a huge issue getting out of this mess.
I then proceeded to google away at her emails and found another posting on it, that it is a huge scam and they are hitting up consultants and vendors all over the place.

My advice to you is to be very careful,
Here are her emails:


Hello, How are you doing? Thriving!!! My name is Jessica Farrell , from Enfield in middlesex UK (England ). I will be coming to TX afte my shopping trip with my Husband David Rodin who's French by nature to start his new work with the Coca-cola Co. in San antonio . And just before then we will be getting married on the 13th of June , 2009. We need a good wedding planner to take care of our wedding both reception and ceremony. We require the best for the best memories for we & our children in future and as a matter of fact we have budgeted 25000$ for this special event.

Also, the ceremony and reception event will be taking place in a location and we are expecting at most 50 guests on the day of our occassion because most of our families in Europe and in the United Kingdom will be present for the occassion.

Also, we would like you to know the reception and ceremony will be taking place @ 1 location which the ceremony event would be in a garden location or outdoor while the reception takes place indoors, we are still about to make reservation though but we are making progress with that. Please let us know if you're able to help. Sincerely,

Jess & David


And...

Hello Brandy ,

Thanks for your response, we appreciate !

We would definitely love to work with you!!

Well i'm used to calling David my husband because we are getting married and nothing's changing that fact 'cause we have come a long way together..

My husband and i will be arriving in town on the 24th of May 2009 because we would like to finish our work here and also like to spend so time with our family and loved ones before coming as we might not be chanced to spend as much time with them after our BIG move.

Actually it was a friend of mine in Spain who just got married in the State that referred me to the Website i viewed your advert and eventually visited your website and to our surprise you got a great chance of working with us as your style is preferably intriguing.

We will be needing a wedding planner to work with us as we are foreigners to enable a wonderful and memorable event, we need customized full planning package because our work schedule is pretty tight and there will be no way to do the planning from here without your support as a professional planner so for this reason, we need you.

This is a list of Vendors we will be needing for our event; a photographer , a videographer, an MC, a florist, a make up artiste for all the ladies in the bridal party and myself, caterer, cake, a DJ , invitations for our US guests, save the dates and we are expecting at most 50 guests . Our theme colors are Light pink and Royal blue . Our total budget is $25,000.00 , ok .

Our entertainment band will be coming in from Republic of South Africa , It's a french coupe de calien band, they're marvelous.

Also, we would like you to know we prefer the reception and ceremony to take place in a location for the convenience of our guests and would love the ceremony to be in a garden setting and the reception in an indoor location in San antonio or surrounding areas because the weather is unpredictable at this time of the year.

We would like to know how much you'll need to make our day a wonderful one as we will only need you to work within our budget to prevent any disappointment or breech in agreement in future, we just need to know the exact amount you require to be sure the planning cost is within our budget and then we can start making arrangements for your deposit needed for you to get started?

Please feel free to ask anything else as you should know time's not on our side, and remember it will be better to contact us via email for now okay and don't hesitate to let us know if you are willing to help...


Have a wonderful Day!


My advice to anyone who comes across this to stay away and not to give out any information. Pass this along to help protect others!!

Music To My Ears! ,Mr. & Mrs. Richard Garcia

Elsa and Richard our my two amazing musicians that have been planning this wedding for over 2 years. The couple had a vision that would describe there personalities which we found no better place then The Scottish Rite Temple & Library. With perfect acoustics what is any better place then that for a lavish Oprah Singer! On March 14th at 3:00 in the afternoon, Elsa finally became Richard's wife!!

The wedding was absolutely amazing! With celadon green and shades of purple along with the ambiance of the whole reception venue .

As the father of the bride went to grab his daughter hand to walk her down the isle, he made it known to me that he was not EVER giving her away. That she would always be his little baby. So when Mr. Humphrey handed her off to the groom I cried like a baby!

The couple and guest had a wonderful time. With all the beautiful decor by Oak Hills Florist the night was hit off with a amazing Jam Session. The grooms father a well know JAZ musician here is great SA "Richard Garcia" along with "Joe Jamma" and several other jazz members that pulled off a amazing performance. The guest could not get enough, they danced all night long!

I wish you nothing but happiness and remember put it on Red for me in VEGAS!!

Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Richard Garica!!

Will post professional pictures soon I promise!

I also would like the congratulates Joanne. She did absolutely amazing and I had nothing but wonderful complements on her. We are so glad she is part of our team!

Wedding Etiquette Q&A

As a wedding consultant it never fails I get approched with question regarding wedding etiquette. Which a lot of people are very surprised on what should really be done and not when planning a wedding.

Going through a few off the top of my head that I have been asked latley by some of my brides.

Q: Can and and should I inculuded my wedding registry cards in my wedding invitions and if not how will I let people know?

A: The only way to let people to know is to tell them. By word of mouth. Just let family, close friends know and the word will get out. If you just can not resist then put them in your shower invitaions, do not put them in your wedding invitions.

Q: When do I mail the wedding invitaions out? I want to make sure everyone gets it in time?

A: The rules regarding wedding invitation etiquette dictate that invitations aren’t sent out too far in advance, but they shouldn’t come at the last minute either. You want your guests to have enough time to plan for the wedding and make any necessary travel arrangements. You don’t want to send the wedding invitations out too far ahead of time, either. Invitations can be sent out as early as eight weeks and as late as one month. Any later than that would be considered very bad etiquette. Six weeks is about enough time to mail the invitations and receive responses.

Q: I do not get along with my fiance's sisters. Do they have to be in the wedding party?

A: No, they don't have to be. This issue -- having your intended's siblings of the opposite sex stand up for you -- really depends on the specific family. In some, it's completely expected and they'll be mortally wounded if you don't ask. In others, unless you're best friends, they would be surprised if you asked (it might be nicer for them to spend the day with their family than with your attendants). Of course, just because his family (or yours) expects the wedding to be any certain way doesn't mean it has to be that way.
If you don't currently get along well, not asking his sisters could make your relationship worse if they feel snubbed. Like it or not, they're going to be your sisters-in-law very soon. If you really don't want them as attendants because you want your sisters and close friends instead (and rightfully so, especially if you're having a small wedding party -- you can just explain it that way), have them do readings during the ceremony or stand up on your fiance's side. These days, your sex no longer defines whether you're a bride's or groom's attendant. They can wear the same dresses as the maids, dresses they choose themselves, tuxedo-inspired outfits, or even tuxedos, depending on everyone's sense of humor.
The bottom line: There's no rule that his siblings have to be in the wedding party. But leaving them out might not be a good precedent to set.

Outcome of the Bridal Open House

Our Bridal show came out amazing. After all the hard work from all the vendors it came out beautiful and food was delicious. I had nothing but compliments and praise.

We got a chance to meet some wonderful couples who have big plans and that is what we are here for. To help make it all happen. I look forward in meeting more with them and helping create and make their wedding dreams come true.

I was truly Happy with the way it all came together and the event was a hit. Look forward to the next one this fall!

I want to send out all my "thank yous" to all the vendors that participated and help make it all happen.
