We are so thrilled that Ivana and Arthur’s gorgeous wedding was just featured on Style Me Pretty!  Here are just a few sneaks at what was a gorgeous affair, and to see even more eye candy check out the full feature HERE.

Many thanks to the fabulous team at JAC Photography for all of the amazing pictures.

One of my favorite things about this wedding was that Ivana embraced her Indonesian heritage and infused elements of it into the details of the wedding.  From the special desserts to the batik chair ties, this created such a personal touch to the wedding.

A Bride in Vera Wang and a Groom in a bow tie…swoon-fest!

Ivana made all of the signs for the wedding, which was a gorgeous labor of love!  And we put them on real easels, which was perfect for the Art Museum venue!

This was one of the neatest things that I’ve seen in a long time!  We hired a live painter to capture the wedding during the reception.  It was incredible!

An outfit change and a sparkler grand exit, made for a fun and festive end to this great evening!

As always, we owe much gratitude and vendor love to those who helped make this wedding a dream come true for the Bride and Groom.

I will always be grateful to Michelle and Paul on a personal level for the amount of trust that they put in me.  This couple is so beautiful and elegant, you feel a little like you are with royalty when you’re around them.  They are incredibly kind, incredibly adorable and they threw one heck of a wedding reception!

I love every little thing about this picture.  It makes me think of young love and giddy girlfriends.  Two of my favorite things.

The gardenias studded throughout the moss escort card set-up made the room smell so delicious!

I’m crazy for the hemstitch overlay that you see peeking through.  It’s so delicate and sweet.

The Mr. and Mrs.!

Dana and Lance are the kind of people that you just love to be around.  The kind of clients that you really look forward to meeting with because you know you’ll laugh your face off.  Being a part of their wedding was a special and wonderful experience for me.  The yellow flowers of the day were muted compared to the sunshine beaming from the newlyweds.

A flowergirl and a Bride…such a perfect pair!

This was the most emotional ketubah signing that I’ve ever witnessed.

Love the bridesmaids’ hair flowers!

I’m telling you…BEAMING!

Dana and I worked together to create her Lemonhead escort card display.  So fun!

The Bride and Groom e-mailed me three weeks before their wedding telling me that they were closing on a house!  Such an exciting time, so this card box was literally perfect for them!

Dana and Lance, I hope married life is treating you well!  I’m sure there is no shortage of laughter in your new home.  Don’t be strangers!

…until last weekend!

I got to be on the other end of a wedding last weekend. I took off my coordinator hat and put on my bridesmaid hat. Although it was hard for me not to worry about things like timeline and vendors, I think I did well at just being a good friend. However, I did have a few “coordinator” moments, like when I brought out gray striped straws and made mimosas for everyone. What? I can’t help it sometimes!

Obviously the professional pictures aren’t back yet, but since I had such a great time, I wanted to share with you a sneak peek of me as a bridesmaid!

I was nominated to give a toast before she left for her First Look.  I was clearly not prepared and very tearfully, got my way through it.

I was happy to be paired up with the cutest groomsmen.  Lucky for me, he’s my husband!

You know how sometimes you meet someone and you just feel like, for whatever reason, you want to be their friend?  That’s how I felt with Pia and Jeff.  I loved them from the first moment I met them.

They had an amazingly gorgeous wedding that was a joy to be a part of, complete with a stunning bridal fascinator and a Princess Catherine style balcony kiss!

While I don’t yet have pictures to share, I am giddy to share this highlight video shot by the incredible Loyd Calomay and his team at Red 5.

I have to say, when most couples tell me that a friend or family member is going to sing at their wedding, I get a little nervous.  I always imagine 89 year old Aunt Betty trying to recreate her community theatre days.  So when Pia told me that THE GROOM was going to sing a song, I was curious and excited and very happy that it wasn’t going to be old Aunt Betty.  However, when he started singing to his new wife, I cried.  Check it out for yourself.

A huge thank you to all of the vendors who made this wedding possible:

We are sorry for the severe lack of posting and updates on all of our weddings! Wedding season is in full swing now and there are so many things to update you on!

But first, the biggest and best news of all…Just Chic Events has gotten a little bigger. Just a little. Like 7 pounds bigger.

On June 25, our fearless leader, Paola, gave birth to the sweetest little nugget that I’ve ever seen. She has a gorgeous full head of hair and lips that rival Angelina Jolie’s! We are all smitten.

Congratulations to Paola and Eric and their beautiful new family.

I’ll be back to update you on some incredible weddings very soon!  Promise!
