I love this simple orhid centerpiece. This photo was taken by the talented Perspecta Photo. I have a love, or obsession, for all orchids. You could DIY this also!

Now had I found these before my wedding they would have been in each bathroom! These soaps would have fit in perfectly at the Calistoga Ranch. Soaps come personalized with anything you want them to say. I would have put our names and our date 07.07.07! They can be ordered from Valsey and Me.
This is the Formal Box
So I just ordered these chalkboard pots from Pottery Barn. I think they would make great Escort Cards, Place Cards and Favors. 3 in 1! You can write your guests name and table number/name on each pot and fill with herbs or any other small plant. I bet the pictures of all of these lined up at the entrance to your reception would look amazing.
I used these Place Card Holders at my wedding and they looked fantastic. You can buy them at several different stores but I got mine at one of my favorite stores Uncommon Goods. They also have the wine cork candles that fit inside the wine bottle.
Congratulations J & M - San Francisco Film Centre Wedding Planner
On 10.13.07 we traveled to the historic San Francisco Film Centre located in the Presidio. The architecture of this building is amazing so not much is needed in the way of draping or lighting. I had a great time pulling together this wedding. The bride and groom were great to work with and I congratulate them on their union.

Great angle shot by my husband.

The cake by Bev Tanaka. I consider myself a cake snob and this one was delicious.

Centerpieces were filled with rocks and orchids.

Centerpiece of the Week

Cool Things Wednesdays started on TheKnot. It was and is my weekly post on my local board. I figured it was time to make it public. This is my way of sharing all my great wedding finds with my fellow brides. Enjoy!
Great Invites, Menu Cards, Place Cards. Felix Doolittle.

I love this pillow favor box by Carolyne Roehm
These are hand stamped paper goods by Linda & Harriett
I love these Personalized Napkin Rings by Tallu-lah as they double as Place Cards.
Congratulations M & M - Mendocino Hill Wedding Planner
On 10.06.07 we traveled up to Mendocino County to coordinate the wedding of M & M. Both the ceremony and reception took place at Mendocino Hill in Hopland. This venue offered guests breathtaking views of the vineyards below and the weather could not have been any better. It was a pleasure working with M & M and I wish them all the happiness in the world. And now some pictures:

Wine bottles had personalized labels with a picture of the bride and groom at their high school prom!
