A Lovely Testimonial As Our Weddings Start for 2011 in Marbella

Carla and Laura


Where do I start, I want to thank you both so much for a fantastic day, but not just that, also for a wonderful and enjoyable planning experience, which I must admit I am missing now it is all over!


From your ideas right through to your reassuring presence on the day, everything you did was efficient, discreet and our day passed off without a glitch. I smile when I think back and I am sorry it is all over, I would do it all again in a flash.


Both of you were super speedy with responses to my late night emails and whacky requests. You were in immediate contact from our arrival at Finca Maroc and a great support in the build up to the big day. Although I did not see you Laura on the Sunday- you definitely made your mark and when I came back from my beauty session the place looked almost as pretty as me :) !!


Carla, you were never far away, all day you were a supportive presence and I never had to think about anything that you had not already managed to perfection.


One of my favorite wedding moments was the look on your face, Carla, when a glass got broken on the table, my friends and I are still laughing about it as it was priceless!!! It was the only time you looked like you weren't in control all week - but so funny!!


Caroline and Karen made me look and feel beautiful, so beautiful in fact my own children did not recognise their mum! I appreciate their very hard work, their patience with our wacky requests and last minute extras - like Grandma's hair. They went so far to help me into my dress and a multitude of other jobs beyond the norm, so cool and calm and nothing was a problem.


Fiestasol were a big hit, everyone loved the food, all our guests savoured new things and enjoyed the perfectly mastered favourites. Heather and her staff looked great, again so cool and calm, informative about the food they were serving and so unobtrusive, even when they came to collect the tables the next day in what looked like an Aqua Park!


I will email the other suppliers, Natasha, Gary and Mijas Villas and copy you in and send some photos on when I get my act together :)

Torypedia

I've just discovered Torypedia - Tory Burch's tumblr. To die for.... And while we are at it, I do love a sneak visit to Guliana Rancic's tumblr as well, she is my guilty pleasure. Hehe.


Diamonds are a girl's best friend!

We're sure they are Liz's too; she looks gorgeous dripping in diamonds!


If there is one thing we have learned through working with so many brides, it is that each bride is unique and wants that to come across in every detail -- the ring being one of the most important! We recently discovered online jeweler Anjolee.com and had to share this gem with all of our brides. They offer a huge selection of gorgeous, high quality bridal sets, and have made it so easy for you to customize and make your rings your own (you know how into customizing we are!)
  • Start by selecting your favorite diamond bridal set design. Each set has both the diamond engagement ring as well as the matching diamond wedding band. Choose from a range of styles - classic, vintage and modern.
  • Next choose your metal type (10k, 14k and 18k yellow gold, white gold or platinum)
  • Diamond color and clarity
  • Carat size
  • Ring size (the standard ring size for women is 6.5 but almost any ring size can be made)
:: To give you a little taste, here are some bride favorites ::


Diamond Solitaire Studded Band Bridal Set
Splendid Romance Four Row Matching Bridal Set

Delighted by Diamonds Matching Wedding Set
Having the bridal set ensures you have two perfectly fit rings ahead of time, instead of trying to match a band to your engagement ring after the fact. Plus,
Anjolee is the manufacturer of all jewelry items on their site, so their prices are reasonable enough to buy both rings instead of a diamond engagement ring only.

The cherry on top? Free shipping on all orders, gift packaging and a 30-day return policy!

For additional information about diamond bridal sets or other fine jewelry items, visit
www.anjolee.com and www.anjolee.com/blog for product reviews and jewelry education. Don't forget to "accidentally" leave the site up on your guy's computer...they need these hints.

Photos from Finishing School 2011

 Thanks to everyone who came out on Sunday for Finishing School, our annual do-it-yourself event for making bridal hair accessories and dress embellishments.
Look at the concentration on these ladies' faces!
 
My project: a metallic lace shrug with hundreds of lace "petals" hand-stitched around the neckline. I finally finished it--that's why we call it Finishing School.
 Truly impressed by the artistry on display. Nice work, class of 2011!
