lalalala love photo of the night with some words to go with...

The only thing I want is to be in love with you
to spend a lifetime just watching your mouth
speaking the words that captivate me

I only want to forget the world
forget everything I've ever known

The only thing I want is to be in love with you
to watch each day pass by like seconds
on a clock that never runs

I want to find myself in you
to become what I have longed for

you are my inspiration
though it seems
you're much
too much
I don't deserve it

I only want to feel your touch
the touch of an angel that guides me home when I am lost
and gives me love when I feel that I am hated

You are my guardian angel
You are my angel for life
perfect in every way
don't ever change


I love you...

Photo of the Night..

I can't help it.. I just love people who are in love.

Betsey Johnson ...again....

Yes I know.. I am obsessed with Betsey Johnson. I can not help but adore all of her fashions. They are fun, funky and daring and I love them. Every now and then, while I am looking at her designs I get excited when I find pieces that would work for a wedding.  

These designs below are for the bridesmaids... I am positive these world get worn well after the wedding. 

They can all be found on here at Bluefly.. 

Gerardo and Anna

Anna and Gerardo had an amazing wedding. I must give a huge shout out to Margrett, Anna's mother. She worked with me throughout this entire planning process and I only met Anna once prior to the wedding!! It turned out absolutely gorgeous. 

The team of vendors were all awesome..

Starting with the Embassy Suites Covington where everyone stayed and they also had the rehearsal dinner there as well as high tea on the wedding day.

Ceremony took place at The Cathedral Basilica in Covington. (I LOVE this church) 

The reception was held at The Cincinnati Museum Center. Andrea Howard was sooo awesome to work with. Loved her. The food was awesome.

All of the flowers were created by A New Leaf Florist in Newport and I love those girls there also. 

Cake was created by Confections. It was delicious. 

Dinner music was provided by Greg Lee productions. 

Reception music was provided by McFadden Music with Chris Hatke. The dance floor was going all night and he was able to work with the couple who wanted a TON of latin music played. They were salsa dancing all night. It was amazing.

Photography and Video was provided by New Genesis Productions. They did an amazing job on the photos. 

Buses provided the guests with transportation all night long. Almost every guest was from out of town so it was a nice touch to give them a way to and from both the ceremony and reception.

I hope I am not forgetting anyone...

The whole event was gorgeous..

Kathy and Eric's fairty tale part 2

Just sayin'

Love photo of the day....

Drive by kisses...... 

Kathy and Eric

Ok so this wedding was everything a girl's fairytale wedding could consist of. I am so anxious to post about it that it will get two posts one with non pro photos and the next with the pro pics. 

Kathy is what I picture when the words human barbie doll come to mind. This girl is a Russian beauty and her now husband Eric is her Ken. They are a perfect match and so gorgeous together. 

When Kathy and Eric came to me last year to start planning this event I was excited for many reasons. One she wanted to incorporate some Russian traditions into her wedding, and two she let me choose every one of her vendors. I pretty much knew which vendors would suit her needs right then and there. 

The team that helped create this amazing wedding were as follows..

Jeff Ruby's Downtown was the location for the rehearsal dinner. I can not say enough great things about Kathy who put the dinner together. Of course the food was delish. 

Old St. Mary's church on 13th Street downtown. This church is absolutely stunning. The only downfall was the lack of air conditioning but the day was perfect so it was very bearable.

The Westin Hotel Downtown.. nothing but amazing and very accommodating for the many Russian only speaking guests.

Shane Weber Salon did an amazing job on the girls and mothers hair and was able to work with some last minute changes on the brides hair style. Shane's salon and his staff are all awesome. 

Penny Cooley from BrideFace did all of the girls makeup on site at the salon. She did a stunning job on their faces.

Jimmy's Limo was the transportation for the day and they did a perfect job as always. 

Laurel Court was the location for the reception. Unfortunately this is the last year they will do receptions here but they will continue to host outdoor weddings. This venue is one of my favorite's for a smaller group. It is truly a hidden gem. 

Jeff Thomas catered the reception and was awesome to work with. The very Russian flared meal was impeccable as well as the service. 

Cork N Bottle provided the alcohol.

Meier's wine cellar provided all of the wine and champagne for the night. They are great  to work with. 

All Occasions provided the rental items that included all tables, gold chiavari chairs, gold rimmed china with matching flat wear.

Yours truly provided all of the linens for the event with the help of Connie Duglin Linen. We went with a burgundy crinkle taffeta for the linen with a ivory and gold overlay. Burgundy crinkle napkins tied the table together perfectly.

A New Leaf Florist did a wonderful job on all of the table centerpieces as well as the bridal party flowers. Everything was beautiful and Tiffany was a gem to work with. 

Maize Music brought in the additional lighting as well as a wall monogram. They also kept the music flowing perfectly. 

Tres Belle Cakes did a fantastic job on the cake and it was delicious as always. 

28:20 Films captured the day on video and once again they were a pleasure to work with. 

Masterworks photography did all of the photos for the day and I am confident that they will look amazing as always. 

Frills and Forever created all of the stationary for the wedding including the invitations, escort cards, table numbers and programs. They are awesome to work with. 

Stay tuned for the photos from Masterworks to see all of the amazing details pulled perfectly together. 

And they come in pairs.... Lisa and Melissa

I find that it is pretty awesome when I have a bridesmaid from a previous wedding book me to coordinate her wedding. Here is a pic of these two gorgeous girls. Now the bridesmaid is the bride and the bride is a bridesmaid.. :) 

Kim and Dennis

Kimmy and Dennis had an amazing wedding at the beautiful Norman Chapel in Spring Grove Cemetery. This is one of my favorite smaller chapels in this area. It is absolutely a stunning sight. 
They decided to go for a cupcake and cookie tower topped with a small cake and a small cake for cutting set on the table. It was adorable and the cookies were probably the best thing I have ever put in my mouth. I LOVE fondant and the cookies had fondant circles laid upon them with their monogram in a tasty icing. I am sure I scarfed 20 of these cookies as sick as it is. All of these tasty treats were created by Fantasy in Frosting.


Jessica with Images by Daniel Michael did these amazing photos along with her two assistants. Jessica is awesome she has a great outgoing personality and made the day pretty fun for all involved. Other vendors that helped create this dream were The Madison, Motortoys, Karen's Bouquet, and Folchi's Formal Wear.
