Stephany and Damon. February 2, 2008

Wow! Marilyn is one of my best friends, her son was getting married up at Old Ranch Country Club in Seal Beach. So who was asked to do the flowers...As some of you know, Marilyn also helps me with a little wedding planning and set up from time to time too. Her and I go way back to our flying days with PSA and our mini skirts and go-go boots, now that was a sight! We clipped our wings and retired a few years ago and have remained friends and co-workers ever since. When ever I need help she is always there with a smile and usually a joke too. She worked on this wedding for 6 months for her son Damon and his new bride, and it shows. Marilyn's brother-in-law has a vineyard in Sonoma, CA with award winning wines www.riverroadvineyards.com, so they decided on a wine theme for the wedding. He donated bottles of Chardonnay for their favors and they had labels made with their names on it. We also had half bottles on each table with different wine labels for the table names. Purple was the color of the day, so of course we used green and purple grapes in the table arrangements along with purple Anenomes and roses. Jennie and I did the flowers in San Diego and then transported them on Friday for set-up. The overall look was very dramatic and beautiful. Dominic, a Caricature www.cartoonslinger.com was brought in to draw pictures of the guests which was a huge hit, they also had him do the save the date cards with their image on it! Melissa Mullen www.melissamullenphotography.com was brought up from San Diego to do the photos. Great job Melissa, the photos were awesome of course. Mark Lehman from Ashley video www.wedding-videography.com" also came up to capture the moving moments of the day too. You two Rock! Marilyn and Damon danced to "Dancing Queen" from Alba for their mother-son dance liked you've never seen, when ever I want to have a smile on my face I think of them dancing, it was fantastic. We had a great time with Damon and Stephany, thanks for letting me share in your big day! Marilyn and I are off to the Spa!!
