First, I want to wish Amal & Geoff a happy first anniversary! They got married on New Year’s Eve 2010, at an intimate ceremony and had their grand reception later in 2011. It gave Amal plenty of time to work on all the details surrounding their day. I work with Amal {well, virtually. She’s on the east coast} and many of us were recruited more...
I love when I know the bride on a personal level before they get engaged, before they even meet Mr. Right. Breanne is one of those friends. I met her a few years ago while going on a cruise with a big group of people. We had 13!! It was a week none of us will forget, and I went away with a few more friends than I started out with. Over time we’ve more...
Liliana and her husband, Edward, were married last spring and were referred to me through Desiree of Desiree Russo Wedding Planning. Liliana was one of my many brides who wanted a purple cake topper and I love doing them! It is one of my favorite colors {right behind fuchsia!}. The reception was at the Westin Pasadena, gorgeous yes? Special more...
Welcome to 2012! I’ve been a bit under the radar, taking all the time I can to enjoy the moments of our baby girl, Aubrey, but with the start of a New Year, I’m back in the saddle again {as they say!}. In the next few weeks there will be more Real Bride posts featuring weddings across the country. I hope you stay tuned! But to celebrate more...

Earlier this summer I received an inquiry on crystalling a kitchen appliance. Immediately I thought hmm, KitchenAid Mixer?? I replied to receive the details and found it was a KitchenAid Mixer! A pink one at that (my FAVORITE color I swear!). Not only was this going to be the biggest project I’ve ever worked on, it would also be on tv. That’s more...
I’m SO excited to bring to you another beautiful Real Bride post!! Lauryn contacted me earlier this spring to crystal an O. But not just the front, the sides too! A girl after my heart – more crystals on a letter! I knew that this was going to be one gorgeous wedding. And when she sent me the information for her photographer, and I more...
I told you I wasn’t running away! Here is a digest of some more recent cake toppers! Again, in no particular order! I love showing these “before” shots. I consider the “after” when the brides send me photos from their wedding day! First up, a loopy swoopy O for Lauryn. This is the first O I’ve done, and I must more...
Back a few months ago, I was at the bridal show hosted by the Valencia Country Club. With any great bridal show is a fantastic fashion show. And what was best about THIS was that it was all outside! So great opportunity for a mock wedding! The bride and groom are real! They were married last year and that adorable little one is their baby. So cute, more...
I have disappeared. Fallen into the depths of Blogging Caves. I’ve still been working. But I’ve just not posted much. I feel like I failed everyone because I know I hate when I go to sites and someone hasn’t posted in forever. Did they stop working? Are they too busy to post? But I get so excited when I see new eye candy on the more...
