Brides magazine recently underwent a modern transformation. There is a subtle change in the font on the front cover and the layouts look so much fresher. Brides website is also a hot spot for beautiful wedding inspiration with the same new look as the magazine.
Each month a new inspiration board is featured and I was so excited to see this month’s inspiration Hollywood Glamour in Cannes. Cote de Azure is the most unpretentious, glamorous place I have ever been on Earth and I love the idea of using that as inspiration for your wedding day.
Cannes Modern Glamour Inspiration on Brides
Using a palette of vibrant orange, pink and green is a nod to the Art Deco style of the 1950′s, when the Cannes Film Festival was the place to launch a young starlets’ career. Use the photos as an inspiration for your wedding day, your bridal shower or even your engagement party.

It is Friday and that means Girls Night Out! I will be hitting the town with my girlfriends to celebrate 2 birthdays this evening. With our jobs, relationships and kids, our girl’s nights aren’t every weekend like they were in college, but when everyone gets together it is well worth the wait.
First stop is my girlfriend’s townhouse for appetizers, cocktails and giggles. Then it is off to Tantalum in Long Beach, CA for dinner at 9pm. Tantalum is a sexy restaurant right on the water and it feels like you are on an exotic vacation while there. It is a great venue and would work well for engagement parties and bridal showers.

It seems like everyone I know has a go-to cocktail. I love a fresh, crisp glass of white wine when socializing. I always want to try the new and exciting, specialty cocktail but it is often too strong for my tastes.
What is your signature cocktail? Do you usually order a beer or try something different each time?
This has been a very long week for me. Between my day job and last minute details for the wedding I’m coordinating this weekend, I was ready to get lost in some beautiful weddings. Lucky for me, Style Me Pretty had just what I needed, a gorgeous wedding in Montecito with a Vintage Love Story theme.
Sonia from XOXO Bride was the creative genius behind the entire day. She helped pull together all of the vintage elements from the antique desks to the herb garden favors. NLC Productions created all of the luxurious floral arrangements and Amelia Lyon Photography took all of the magical photos.

Spring time is here and I love how a Yellow and Grey wedding perfectly captures the season, a little sunshine and a bit of cozy clouds. I have been working with my very good friends, Hollie and Thuy, on their Spring Wedding and they have chosen a yellow and grey palette. Their wedding is quickly approaching and I love working on all of their Vintage Glam projects! I can’t wait to share the pictures with you!
I use Pintrest to gather inspiration and organize it in a way that is easy for my clients to see. Here is a sample of the inspiration I am using for Hollie and Thuy’s wedding. Be sure to follow MLM Worldwide Event Planning for a daily dose of inspiration!
This week is sure to be Fun-Filled and Star-Studded! There are two events in the Los Angeles area that would allow you to meet two stars in their field.
First, On Thursday night the Bebe store on Rodeo Drive is hosting a party to celebrate the launch of their new bridal line. And lucky me, my favorite designer from Project Runway, Rami Kashou will also be attending since he designed the entire line!

Then on Friday night, Courtney Dial Whitmore from Pizzazzerie, is hosting a book signing at the Barnes and Noble in Santa Monica Promenade. The location is perfect because it is so lively and family friendly, just liker her book!
She is a true inspiration for young business women, that is for sure. She created a entertaining and lifestyle site and quickly turned it into appearances and features. Now, she has her first book out, Push-up Pops, all about an amazing way to make and display desserts in a modern way.
I hope everyone had a great weekend. I have been busy completing projects for an upcoming wedding I’m coordinating! I can’t wait to share the pictures.
I have been looking for Modern, Luxurious and Magical inspiration for an escort card display and here are my favorite finds from Pinterest. Be sure to Follow MLM Worldwide Event Planning on Pinterest for a daily dose of great inspiration.
One way to get a lot of bang out of your floral budget is to have the largest arrangement at the wedding on the escort card table. It is the first thing guests will see before entering the actual reception so a large arrangement will make a lasting impression
