“Barcelona Nights”
We love a good theme and the fact that our clients give us 100% creative flexibility and let our imaginations run wild! The clients theme of their weekend retreat was a Sexy Getaway.

After a recent trip this past summer to Spain, we were able to embrace all the country had to offer and design this event after those experiences.

Bright and colorful palates shined, from tray passed tapas, a charcuterie carving station with Jamon Iberico and Spanish cheeses, a seafood and meat buffet station with red and green chimichurris, red pepper sauces, grilled veggies and papas bravas, bunelos and postres for a sweet treat.

A Flamenco dancer and Spanish guitarist entertainers guests while they sipped on Spanish Sangria, Vinos, a Mezcal and Cigar Station, not a detail was missed! 💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼

Brought Greece to Huntington Harbor for a night to celebrate a special girl turning 18 years old!

I haven’t yet had a chance to share about Kyle’s memorial this past Sunday because I couldn’t put into words my experience and feelings.

I still don’t have the right words to say, but are there ever the “right” words in death?

I spent a little over a week pulling together the celebration of life to share Kyle’s legacy with those that loved her most, her family, her friends, her teachers, her coaches, her classmates, her oncologists.

I spent an entire week conversating with a grieving mother about how to create an event of 350 people that grew by day for her child, her beautiful baby girl, her daughter who was only a senior in high school.

A day that her daughter put so much of her own touch on prior to her passing, from creating her own playlist to be played, the food to be served, the color pink she wanted everyone to wear and spread throughout, an eco friendly event with a QR code vs. printed programs.

She started her own foundation that she wanted to help people in the community with social issues that meant the most to her, from the LGBT community to woman’s rights, music, medicine, education, ect.

After all she had the IQ of a genius, she beat the odds at birth born at 26 weeks, weighing less than 2 lbs., doctors not sure if her brain would ever develop to full potential.

She was a miracle from the beginning, her parents unicorn! ✨

I planned this sweet girls wedding 7 months ago in 48 hours and her celebration of life in a week.

In between I helped create many celebratory events created in the comfort of her home with her family, from a ho**ah night, movie nights, a spa day and a farewell sleepover with her best friends where I had to say my final goodbye.

Let me tell you, this was all so deep and beyond anything I’ve ever experienced in my lifetime and I’ve experienced death after death of those closest to me.

But what I took away from these last 7 months that I got to know Kyle and her loving family was the purest love of family, the unwavering love of parents, the unconditional love that a child has for their parents.

Our 2nd year participating in “Table for Ten,” 100% donation in which all proceeds go to the OC/ IE Make A Wish Foundation. This is an especially tender year for us as we’ve had the opportunity to grant a wish for a young girl and grow very close to her family. Our theme this year was “A goodbye to summer,” as we will soon enter Fall. The food represented produce that you will find in it’s peak right now- heirloom tomatoes, cantaloupe, sunchokes, cherries, corn. While the table complimented the essence of summer with bright yellows, lemons and costal blue hues.
A big shout out to our sponsors:

Celebrated a “Super Pink Sweet 17,” inspired by 21st birthday....adorned with all pink place settings and ghost chairs, custom made french fry boxes for the “late night snack”, an all pink ball pit with hot pink LED signage, ombré of pinks balloon arch and florals, hot pink LED furniture for the late night dance party with hot pink hoola hoops of course and a pink star gazed ceiling turn night. Pink balloons covered the ceiling, hot pink 17 candles atop a pink ombréd butterfly cake, pink lemonade was served and a made to order pasta bar with rose sauce as an option with an on site chef cooking in front of the teens. I must say though, the ball pit was the hit of the night! Now this is how you celebrate a missed quarantined sweet 16 in style!! Followed by a “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” themed brunch the following morning 🙌🏻

I got a call on Thursday from a client/ long time friend that a dear child, a 17 year older young woman desired to experience a wedding and her best friend offered to marry her. I had 48 hours to pull this together while being away on a romantic getaway with my husband for 48 hours. I reached out to the wedding industry and had at least 100 people reach out wanting to help in some way.

Yesterday, I witnessed the most beautiful wedding I’ve ever had the opportunity to produce in my career. I witnessed a group of teenagers, best friends and families gather to celebrate the joy of life. Yesterday wasn’t a final wish, it was living in the moment and ceasing the day.

I remember being 17, your best friends are your everything. This is a time in your life before your married with children, before you may even have a boyfriend or girlfriend, your friends are whom you spend all your spare time with, they are the ones you dream with, laugh with, share in first time experiences with.

Yesterday I witnessed the true meaning of friendship, love and humanity. A group of friends broke out in the “Friends” song,

“I'll be there for you
(When the rain starts to pour)
I'll be there for you
(Like I've been there before)
I'll be there for you
('Cause you're there for me too)”

It was a beautiful moment I will forever cherish in my lifetime and I know all those involved and close to the bride will cherish this moment as well. It will always hold a special place in my heart and theirs too 💞

A big thank you to all those that contributed yesterday with their goods, services, time and monetary donations:
