Kiya & Malcolm’s wedding was a great celebration with their family and friends and I loved her color scheme! The bright colors of tangerine orange and royal and lighter shades of blue were fun and fresh, and worked really well with the ambiance at the Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel. The beautiful flowers and decor were by Nisie’s Enchanted Florist and wedding cinematography was by the talented Elysium Productions. All the paper goods from the wedding programs, escort cards, menu cards and table numbers tied in the colors of the wedding…and were just too fun! Kiya, the moms, and all her Bridesmaids looked dashing with hair and makeup by Berit, Makeup by Berit, and hair by Tiffany Monday. I esepcially was a fan of the Bridesmaids dresses…the bow detail on the back of the dress was adorbs. Thank you to John Hong, with John and Joseph Photography, for these photos that capture the beauty of their wedding. Kiya and Malcolm couldn’t be a better match and it was fun being part of their special day!

Do you remember designer Karla Janx from Season 2 of Project Runway? Karla is a talented designer and after being a finalist in Season 2 of Project Runway, her career in fashion designing has skyrocketed. She recently came out with her Bridal Collection (which I recently found featured on the Junebug Weddings Blog) that has some really sweet pieces and great Special Occasion dresses. Karla Janx, now a resident New Yorker, knows how to flatter a woman’s body and infuses every piece with a sense of whimsy. Kara’s fans and customers include Julia Roberts, Michelle Trachtenberg, Rihanna, Emma Watson, Olivia Palermo, Selena Gomez, Anna Kendrick, Bethenny Frankel and countless other fashionable ladies. Janx’s collection has also received great appreciation in the press, including Elle, Harpers Bazaar, InStyle, Lucky, Vogue and WWD. The collections are sold domestically and internationally. I like her feminine designs and I look forward to seeing her growing collections! To view Karla Janx’s Bridal Collection check out karajanx.com/bridal-collection/

About a month ago, I was invited to be a guest at dinner at the Shoot This Not That seminar put on by Summer Grey of Grey Likes Weddings….the style shoot was adorbs! The reason I want to feature this is because of two vendors who put their heart and soul into the table….Fayaz with Bloombox Designs and Elaine with Papermade Design. Big Rah Rah for such awesome creative work. I swooned over the invite…can you tell its a water color ombre, the soft gradation of color….HOW PRETTY! And oh Fayaz, he went bananas with the props, you think we were in the Hamptons! Just darling…and then I briefly met Janel who sent me the cutest photos. I swear her photos are AWESOME!

Great News! The very talented and creative Elaine Chou from Papermade will be designing the paper goods for our CONFAB style shoot (Again!) This will be Elaine’s second time being a part of CONFAB and we are thrilled to have to back with us. In addition, Elaine will also be joining us for dinner on Day 2 and you will all get a chance to meet and chat with this paper good genius! This is what she created for Confab 2011.

Papermade is the brainchild of designer, Elaine Chou. Derived from the word “handmade”, Papermade was built on the aesthetics of hand-drawn illustrations and whimsical hand-lettering. Specializing in correspondence, their invitations are printed on luxurious cotton paper and designed by Elaine herself. Check out the adorable Papermade website www.papermadedesign.com

Here’s some examples of Elaine’s lovely work:

Check out Susan and Chung’s Wedding video by Gary from Perfect Fit Studios. He did an amazing job capturing the highlights of Susan and Chung’s sunny October wedding at the Terranea Resort. I love the little messages the Bride and Groom had for each other as they were getting ready for the ceremony. Sooo adorable! Everyone looks like they had such a fun time at the cocktail and wedding receptions. The entire event was filled with smiles and laughter, especially from Susan and Chung! Credits to John and Joseph photography for capturing the special moments during the wedding & Shawna Yamamoto for the wedding flowers & decor.
