Spring Time Fun
Wednesday, May 19th, 2010Watermelon red. Vibrant blue. Sunshine yellow. The color combo alone is enough to flip me out! Sara and Michael wanted to do something bright, fun and personal. The funnest part of it all was that they completely trusted us as their vendors and allowed us to really showcase our artistic ideas. So, of course, Carissa from JL Designs and Melody from Sweet and Saucy Shop had to be along for the ride. The amazing girls at Posh Paperie really started the whole concept with their amazing invitation design! We really wanted it to be fun, different, and impacting while still capturing a classy and beautiful environment. This wedding is also a perfect example of how to distract from the sometimes difficult carpets and drapes of certain venues 
The white chiavari chairs and white dance floor made the hugest difference to take your eye away from the abrupt colors of the venue!

New Addition!
Tuesday, May 18th, 2010Ok, so maybe I’m a little late. Maybe I could have announced this 5 months ago. But better late than never, right?? Mr. Haack, Jonah and I are expecting our next little addition to our family in September! There. Now you know. But I wouldn’t be my firecracker self if I didn’t leave you with a bit of a cliffhanger. Jonah wanted to show you all how we revealed the sex of our new addition to our family. But YOU will have to tune in later this week to find out what it is!!! Any guesses?

Classy + Romantic + Traditional
Saturday, May 15th, 2010Classy. Traditional. Romantic. Family-centered. It was a beautiful day at the country club for Michelle and Kevin. The bridal party entered the ceremony in a long line of golf carts. The reception was sprinkled with old family photos. The centerpieces were gorgeous towers of floral goodness. The band rocked the party. The staff at BCCC were gems to work with. Mi Belle captured so many romantic moments that I had to include way more bride and groom portraits that I usually do. Enjoy their style.

Palos Verdes Romance
Tuesday, May 11th, 2010This wedding was full of class. Not only design-wise, but bride and groom-wise. Mia and Clay are the kind of clients we all hope for. They were extremely trusting, extremely thankful, and extremely generous. What a joy to work with! One of the things they told me about themselves during a design meeting was that they LOVE tequila. Well, don’t we all? So we used this opportunity to get mini bottles of their fave tequila to use as a party favor/seat assignment. Guests LOVED it! Not a full bottles was left in the house! Carissa, with JL Designs really brought the entire look together with her modern, yet romantic white florals against the chocolate brown linens and the sprinkle of candle light throughout the room. The ceremony was a bit foggy but that didn’t matter when Mia and Clay’s smiles were bright enough to burst through the thickest of fog! I know, I’m so poetic! I hope you enjoy the journey through their day as much as I did!
