TASTE!

May 4, 2010/in Wedding Planning /by Julie Pryor

Ahi Poketini – not only a wonderful presentation but also delicious

Caprese made with heirloom Hawaiian tomatoes and fresh mozerella. Simple and perfect.

Freshly caught Fish served with tomatoes, capers, artichokes and garlic.

Fresh fruit crisp at General Store in Maui

Tastings are not only fun – they serve a purpose. This is where you decide if the salad should have more dressing, the steak more sauce… I encourage my clients to be honest and critical at tastings. I take notes and pictures at all tastings.

Fresh & Fun

Delight and surprise your guests. The bride’s grandfather was in the apple growing business so we incorporated apples in her centerpieces. Miniature apples held the seating cards.

In addition to strawberries -think raspberries, blueberries and pineapple when offering chocolate covered fruit. Lee Gelfond http://gelfondchocolate.com/ makes these delicious treats by hand.

The bride’s favorite flower (Calla Lilies) were a fun statement on the cake. Rosebud Cakes –

http://rosebudcakes.com/ did an amazing job.

I am pleased to share a few photos from a fun and classy bar mitzvah I coordinated for dear, long term clients at Riviera Country Club over the weekend.

Intimate Santa Barbara Wedding

March 12, 2010/in Wedding Planning /by Julie Pryor

Here’s a peek at a few shots from the wedding we planned this weekend at The Four Seasons Biltmore in Santa Barbara. More will come soon from the unbelievably talented Amy and Stuart.

Instead of the expected California sun this ceremony took place during a rainy evening. We smoothly moved the wedding into a lovely room with a roaring fire. It was a beautiful wedding and the bride Amy was calm and wonderful. She was disappointed that Amy and Stuart weren’t able to capture the beach photos she had expected due to the weather – so they came back the next day and took glorious photos at the beach. Now that’s dedication!

Children add so much personality and charm to weddings.

These are just a few of my favorites.

Four Seasons Santa Barbara – I Do

December 7, 2009/in Wedding Planning /by Julie Pryor

When Kelly hired me to plan her wedding I was delighted. I planned her sister’s wedding nine years ago and I was thrilled to work with this wonderful family again. Kelly and Conor said their vows at the historic Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Montecito. Their reception was held on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon at The Four Seasons Biltmore in Santa Barbara. We chartered Santa Barbara trolleys to transport the guests. Cocktails were held on a terrace overlooking the Pacific. Lunch was a multi course feast followed by dancing and many fun surprises. After choosing custom sandals and Pashminas guests crossed to Butterfly Beach to watch this fun couple ride into the waves on paddle boards. This had much significance as Conor and Kelly were on paddle boards when Conor proposed.
