Quote of the Day...

When you meet someone who can cook and do housework--don't hesitate a minute--marry him.

Julie Rose + Michael 5.30.10 {The Imperia}

Julie and Michael came to CSE/FYEP as a referral from a previous bride and hired me for our "Day of Coordination" package. They both wanted someone to make sure it all ran smooth through the day including their 55 person bridal party processional and giving both the bride and groom a peace of mind. We delivered just that! Everything was set up and coordinated according to the couple's wishes.

Their beautiful filipino ceremony was celebrated at Church of the Sacred Heart in South Plainfield. NJ. The fun Reception followed at The Imperia in Somerset with great entertainment provided by Paul Anthony Entertainment.

Invitations; Ornate

Ivette ordered these simple ornate invitations from our Carlson Craft collection. She loved the design but when they arrived I realized they needed some color which was not an option through Carlson Craft. They offer the white printed panel, so Ivette and I discussed to enhanced them a bit...by adding a backing to the panel invite in either Olive or Espresso. She couldn't decide on a color, she loved both the Olive and Espresso cardstock, so we opted for both. I added a matte Olive backing layer to half the invites and Espresso metallic backing to the other half. Ivette was very happy with the outcome, she wanted to remain simple but with a splash of what her wedding colors will be.

Invitations: Elegant Pocketfolds

Denise ordered this square pocketfold invitation from our Carlson Craft collection but wanted to add a little umph to it...So we went ahead and enhanced the invite by creating a custom front square tab with the couples names and added a wrap around ribbon.

The front tab features scalloped corners, bottom layer cardstock in metallic onix and top printed layer in metallic opal. Satin Ivory ribbon was added to wrap around the invite.

We look forward to creating menus, favor tags, table numbers and escort cards for this September bride and groom...stay tumed.

Favor Tags; Fall theme

Just finished working on these samples...
Kim is getting married in October and we just can't wait to create a fabulous Candy Bar for her guests to enjoy. These will be attached to her candy bags as guests select from the plethora of sweets we will display. She's obsessed with everything Candy--just like us at FYEP's NJ Candy Buffets! She wanted a diamond shaped favor tag with a fall theme feel.

They all feature cardstock in metallic brown/bronze for backing and metallic opal for the printed layer. Print in Espresso and tied with a satin brown ribbon.

Chanda + Gregory 5.29.10 {The Tides Estate}

Hey bloggers, readers and friends...meet this beautiful couple; Chanda and Gregory!

Chanda and Gregory had an intimate vow renewal ceremony with family and close friends on a beautiful Saturday morning in May. Their afternoon celebration took place at The Tides Estate.  At most weddings, I am the planner/coordinator/designer but this was quite different wedding, because somehow, somewhere along the way, I became friends with this couple's cake baker {a.k.a Groom's aunt} and ended up being her assistant in helping her design/construct the cake the day of! You should have seen me rolling/cutting fondant and creating bows. She joked that I should be a cake designer, but hey folks...then who's gonna bake? LOL
It is a good thing I'm not a cake baker/designer, because if you know me, you know I love to eat cake. Here's the end result :0) No detail was overlooked...

The beautiful set up...
