Everyday Should Be Coffee Day!

Happy National Coffee Day!! 

Of course, in my book, EVERDAY is Coffee Day.

 Wouldn't a coffee station like this make your morning a little brighter. 

 I just love the way that Yvonne at   

Stonegable Blog makes the Everyday into a Special Day. Don't you? 

So pour a cup of coffee and head-on over to Stonegable for a visit, and 

get some great ideas for Celebrating Everything.

Planned to a T Events is Still Haute!

We did it again!! And I am just GIDDY! Check out the Winter 2014 issue of California Wedding Day. We are once again on their 
Haute List for San Diego!  

There we are on Page 103!! We always strive to create the perfect day, perfect memory, for all our brides and grooms. And that's all we really want, but a little pat on the back still makes me feel tingly.




Any of you who are sporting a little extra bling on your left hand...Give me a call to see how we can give you the Haute List Treatment.

Celebrate Life!!

This past week I had the good fortune 

to celebrate my Father's 90th Birthday.

 Now, my father is not in great health. Dementia has taken away his mind and memories. Years of working construction have left his knees unable to carry his weight. He is still living in the home he built for our family 50+ years ago, but only with live-in help. He didn't really understand that we were there to celebrate HIM. But to see his eyes light up when the candles were lit and being asked to blow out his candles, was priceless.

We kept the afternoon simple. Just immediate family and a few neighbors that he sees regularly. Just enough to make the day different than the rest. One neighbor even entertained us with a harmonica concert!  Simple dinner of food he likes, and is able to eat, lasagna and salad, Sparkling cider for a toast, and, of course, chocolate cake. 

It's those moments that we make someone feel special that make a difference in our lives. Find ways to celebrate your loved ones. A new job, a great grade, first day of school, friends moving back into town, new neighbors, maybe just to show that you care, etc. Just knowing that someone noticed you! Don't stress over it, just do it! Invite a few people. Make it a potluck. Use disposable tableware, pitchers of lemonade or iced tea. Spend time together. 

Celebrate Life!!

This poor Event Planner was FORCED to spend the 4th of July at Lake Tahoe this year. What could I do? They NEEDED my help! So I packed up the "Fam" and headed up Hwy 395 for my latest destination wedding ;-)

It was the perfect setting for this couple. Zach grew up spending lots of weekends at "the lake". He and Leah met snowboarding (love the adorable cake topper). When they got the opportunity to move to the area, courtesy of the US Navy, the choice of venue was clear.

They wanted a simple, rustic, wildflower feel. I think they nailed it. What do you think?

Thank you to Amy Nicole Photography for these beautiful photos of Zach & Leah's special day.

Love these photos from a Memorial Day weddding in Mesa, AZ. The venue was a private estate (friends of the family) and was absolutely perfect! Loved the coral and aqua colors and the shabby chic touches. This wedding was truly a labor of love. So many family and friends stepped up to share their talents to make the day special.
