Simply Modern Weddings

Everyone in SoCal knows the ultimate rivalry is USC vs. UCLA!!! Being a Northern CA native, I knew nothing of this rivalry until I moved down here 3 years ago. Oooh but I learned very quickly!

Now, me personally…I don’t take sides, I LOVE both teams because they are much better than my college football team. LOL ! Typically when I watch games I always cheer for the local team, so when UCLA and USC team up I don’t cheer for anyone…I am just prepared for a great game.

So for the BIG game Saturday, we are heading over to our good friend Candice and Gentry’s to party. This should be very interesting since Candice went to USC and Gentry went to UCLA….so I am anticipating a lot of “smack talking”!!! (judging from the other guest’s evite responses) When I did their wedding back in September, they played the fight songs from both schools as their grand entrance music and the wedding guests went WILD!!! What a way to start a party!

For a little fun, below is Candice’s garter shot…how cute is this?

As Thanksgiving approaches, it is a wonderful time to be reminded of the great things in our lives. I am so very thankful for my family, good health, the great friends in my life, and last but not least for my couples…who make me realize everyday how thankful I am to have such a rewarding career!

As of tommorow, I will be out of town visiting family for the Thanksgiving holiday and will return Sunday evening (stuffed like a turkey, I’m sure). I wish you all a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family and friends, and don’t forget to give thanks to all the blessings in your lives!

Using specialty linens is a low cost way to add some real flair and color to your wedding décor. You can get so much more WOW by selecting a beautiful linen to complement your wedding flowers and colors. No longer do you have to stick with plain white or cream polyester “house linens”. There is so much more color selection, which will help you acheive your overall wedding vision. Also, there are so many various fabric options: satins, crushed satins, taffeta, pintucks, sheer overlays…I mean a girl could go crazy!

I do suggest talking with your wedding planner and florist about your linen and color ideas, so they may help you figure out what works best for you. They may even be able to rent the linens for you….which saves you time.

Below are some inspiring linen settings from the fabulous Fusion Linens and Wildflower Linens!
