I had a client who wanted to celebrate the Mexican heritage of her fiance by incorporating the traditional elements of Dia de los Muertos.

Even though the English translation is Day of the Dead, this Mexican holiday is not morbid.  In fact, it is a celebration of loved ones who have passed away.  Dia de Los Muertos is a festive day with bright colors (fuschia, purple, orange), hand painted calveras (skulls), papel picado, and an "ofrenda."  An "ofrenda" is a table of offerings for loved ones that have passed away.  Typically, the "ofrenda" has pictures of your loved ones and their favorite things.

I fell in love with the color pink after watching the movie Pretty in Pink.  I became addicted to pink after I saw Shelby’s Blush and Bashful wedding in Steel Magnolias.  After that, pink became my signature color too!  100% of the time, I am wearing or carrying something pink.  I just love this color!  I don’t know if I like the color because I look great it in or because I’m a girly girl.  Who cares?  Pink is wonderful!

I will be exhibiting at the Orange County Wedding & Event Wedding Show on Sunday, January 10, 2010 at the Crowne Plaza in Irvine from 12-4pm.  The show is free for brides and their fiances.  This also includes free parking and lots of prizes and giveaways.

At this show, you will be able to see examples of my event design and floral design work and ask me tons of questions in preparation for your big day.  In addition, you will be able to meet the most professional wedding vendors in Orange County. 

After seeing my event and floral design skills, you will be able to meet talented DJs, lighting professionals, photographers, videographers, caterers, see beautiful rentals & linens, and so much more!
