Botegga Louie
If there are a few things you should know about me, one thing is that I ABSOLUTELY LOVE FOOD! I believe that food is the way to ones heart, especially if the type of food is any of my top ten favorite things:
{just to name a few}
1. Sweets that are not too sweet, but just right. (the perfect macaroon = vanilla or hazelnut from Botegga Louie or madagascar vanilla from Bouchon)
2. Japanese Tenuki...
Debbie & Andy {Wedding}
4th of July is in the AIR! How do I know this? A full parking lot at the market, people trying to get out of town (meaning me in traffic everywhere) and the warm summer heat beaming down on me!
My first wedding of the year was at the Sheraton in La Jolla for Debbie and Andy. Although it was on May 14, 2010, I wanted to take the time today to share pictures from their wedding photographed by Siri...

Jenn & Daniel {e-shoot}
Happy Sunday!
It’s a beautiful day outside and as I am preparing to go for a run I thought I would post one of my couple’s engagement photo shoots captured by Youkeun Oh Photography. The photo shoot was taken a few weekends ago, and I had the pleasure of joining the team to help style and pick a few locations for the shoot. Jenn and Daniel are an amazing couple with a great...

Hello everyone! I know I missed a week a blogging, so I am here to post on Angie and Grant’s wedding once again!

Le Moustache Bar
What a beautiful Sunday!
At a wedding last week the bride had requested the ever-so-famous classic mustache for her “photobooth.” As I was creating the mustaches out of to-go chopsticks and black cardstock I thought it would be even more interesting to create a Mustache Bar, with the option of four different mustaches!
Check out the pictures and let me know your thoughts :)

The Counter - Carlsbad, CA
Happy Holidays!
It has been such a crazy couple of weeks with site visitations in Santa Barbara, San Diego and Moorpark (a little treasure tucked away that I was so excited to visit). I had the pleasure to visit The Counter, a custom, gourmet burger restaurant where you BUILD YOUR OWN BURGER, with Raymond. I was invited by my absolutely darling friend and August 2010 bride to the opening of their...

Helen & Eddie Wedding -Part II
I just wanted to share this beautiful grand exit for Helen and Eddie’s wedding this past weekend. Thousands of teeny tiny bubbles filled the air as Helen and Eddie departed from the church, and guests greeted the newlyweds as they lined up outside the church. At the end of the walkway a retro-style pedicab awaited the lovely couple to take them away to their reception at the Westin Hotel,...

Running like I never ran before!
Running. It seems to be on my mind a lot these days, possibly more than I could ever imagine and hoped for. For those who don’t know, I am an avid runner (I’m not that fast but I sure can run for one long distance) mainly competing in half-marathons and short runs. It has been my goal to run a marathon before I am 25 years old and a triathlon by the end of this year; two things I...

Celebrating Life... one step at a time
Every year I plan one BIG gathering for my friends and family members to come together, eat, socialize and raise funds for “challenges” around the world. This year’s theme was a “very laid back summer.” The colors I decided to use where cool and refreshing (yellows, pale pinks and browns, sky blue and khaki). Instead of having chairs and tables as usual, I decided to...

In the midst of working on an upcoming wedding in October 2009 (which I will give a sneak peek of the darling details soon), I would like to take the time to introduce Robin Kim, a familiar face each of my wonderful clients will see on the day of their wedding.

My (new) LOVE in life... Flying Trapeze
Some feel the rush of excitement when finding true love…
Although I may already have a love in my life, I have a new love that runs through my mind every day, flying trapeze. What is flying trapeze? Yes, it is what you would see in the circus or possibly a wild dream. Flying trapeze, although it may look difficult, is one of the easiest workouts and thrills that I would HIGHLY suggest to...

On the side of working as a wedding coordinator I have also picked up creating and designing a jewelry line that would carry basic pieces with a versatile style.

Honeymoon Destination: Thailand
A little background about me… I’m fully Chinese by blood (although many dear friends don’t consider me to be) and Thai by culture. Oh, Thailand! The country where temples come in abundance, people are always warm and welcoming and DELICIOUS FOOD is around every corner (literally). I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Thailand for its culture, history and cheap thrills (where can you buy...

Destination Wedding: Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands
Here is another great island just 480 miles south of Miami, Florida that I have grown an absolute love for it’s calm, crisp waters, friendly people and exciting recreational activities… GRAND CAYMAN. I had the absolute pleasure to visit Grand Cayman back in September of 2007 with my mom, and I must say it was a delightful vacation! This tiny island is by far one of the safest places I...
Destination Wedding: Maundays Bay, Anguilla
With wedding season just around the corner (and pretty much creeping slowly up in a month) I thought it would be exciting to seek out wedding trends, happenings, venues, vendors and… WEDDING EVERYTHING!
My first amazing find is a destination just off the tip of Florida near the British Virgin Islands in the Carribeans: Maundays Bay, Anguilla. Imagine an island with picturesque white-sand...

"Breakfast at Tiffany's"
In celebration of my dear friend’s birthday this past weekend, a few friends and I decided to celebrate by having a themed brunch that incorporated her feminine personality; “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” was the perfect fit. The morning brunch included the soft colors: Tiffany blue, pale pink and pearl white. Vibrant and delicate ranunculus (my absolute favorite flower) and sweet peas were purchased...
