Happy 13!

So many superstitions lie aroud the unluckiest day of the year -Friday the 13th. And for those fortuante and UNSUPERSTITIOUS brides, there are 3 Friday the 13ths in 2009! Two have already passed, February and March, but for those of you still looking for a date have the best month left- November!

But where did all the hoopla come from around this mysterious date? Well here is what I found from good ol' Wikipedia:

1.In numerology, the number twelve is considered the number of completeness, as reflected in the twelve months of the year, twelve signs of the zodiac, twelve hours of the clock, twelve tribes of Israel, twelve Apostles of Jesus, twelve gods of Olympus, etc., whereas the number thirteen was considered irregular, transgressing this completeness.

2. Friday has been considered an unlucky day at least since the 14th century's The Canterbury Tales[6], and many other professions have regarded Friday as an unlucky day to undertake journeys or begin new projects. Black Friday has been associated with stock market crashes and other disasters since the 1800s

Hence, the combo of Friday and 13, has been known as an unlucky day!

For the gals still looking for their perfect place...this will be your luckiest ( and best bargain) day of the year! But the clock is ticking and you better book now!

Foodie...

I have to say if I weren't a planner ..I would have to be a food critic. I am such a foodie. I love food. I cannot tell you how blessed I am to have a job that puts me in front of great caterers, new clubs, and amazing resorts on a regular basis! I have the best undercover foodie career!

Just this week: Lunch with Melanie at Arizona Grand Resort, Lunch with Heather Sloane of Eventfully Yours, Dinner with my client Eliana at Maria Maria with her new DJ -Adrian from CS Productions, Cocktails at Troon North Golf Club with Kim from The Event Essentials, Wendy of Sacred Moments, Alesha of A Day to Cherish, sweets at Desert Botanical with my favorite gals in the red rocks twice each time hanging out with the crew from Heidi's Events and Catering and last but certainly not least dinner at Pita Jungle with Drew from Heidi's and his Andy (please refer to pictures 2 blogs ago)... And guys...it's only Wednesday!

So I'm just taking a moment to be thankful for fabulous people and fabulous food!

Cheers!

Green with Envy...

While it's conceivable that my eyes are seeing green these days because of the eco-chic revolution or simply because we are so close to my 2nd favorite holiday (only to my birthday month), but it seems the details that "pop" these days are all in the most brilliant shades of emerald green.
Many of my recent clients have given me the honor of handling the design and decor aspects of their most important day ( known as the "chic" package), most recently this includes Jane Schalfly of Desert Botanical Gardens.
In my process I create storyboards for my clients to help share in my clients vision and also create inspiration and color combinations that they may have not considered! So here's to green beer and saving the planet - cheers!
