Fun Begins on the Costa Del Sol!

I have to confess I love weddings, now there is a surprise! The fun and silly season is here on the Costa Del Sol and has begun in earnest, which is hugely exciting.


We have got off to a wonderful start with some fabulous weddings, photos to come, and all our new ideas that we have all been working hard on all winter are now coming into fruition.


I just had to share this photo with you though, from Jeremy's new photo booth which BTW was supposed to be a 5 minute pop up job, but having watched Jeremy and Jenni on Sunday, I am sure it took at least 10 minutes of wrestling but sure it will be a sleek job within the next month ;)

But well worth the 10 minute wait as the photos are brilliant and such fun, you must check out the link http://www.facebook.com/pages/Jeremy-Standley-Photography/54532672389 to see what fun was had with this photo booth, a must now I think for any wedding here!


We also created a fabulous candy bar, amongst many other things, and did make the hotel staff, I am sure quite alarmed when we started jumping and clapping excitedly as we switched the fairy lights on, it was a bit like the Oxford street Christmas lights, perhaps not quite the same but we were thrilled.


I have to also mention whilst on this blog subject, that this wedding was at the Cortijo Bravo in Velez Malaga, the staff at this hotel were absolutely charming and helpful.


Our thanks to Moira at Perfect Spanish Weddings for being a huge supporter of our wedding styling, flowers and decoration service and to Rob the DJ for constantly and tirelessly keeping our weddings on their feet, in fact I have yet to meet a man that can eat so many liquorice allsorts in one night along with Jeremy ;) That is a feat believe me!

Dress - Billboard Music Awards 2011


We are showing Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift's dress during the 2011 Billboard Music Awards at the MGM Grand Garden Arena May 22, 2011 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The young superstar Justin Bieber wore gold lamè suit jacket, whereas Taylor Swift wore an exquisite pink strapless Elie Saab gown. Both were looking great in their outfit.

Just saying.

Ciara + Armand




The first time I saw Ciara and Armand, I already had a clear vision for them: "Modern Elegance."

I was very happy because they're just perfect for each other, a beautiful bride, and a handsome groom.

It was easy working with this lovely couple. They allowed me to do my job and just be creative. I asked them about their likes and dislikes.. but they just said "Bahala ka na, Veejay.."

And these were the exact words I told them: "Ok, sige. Ako ng bahala, just trust me! Basta dapat bongga and maganda!" I made a couple of sketches on-the-spot, and they chose their favorite designs. It was really a fun experience!

Ciara and Armand, thank you very much for trusting me! I miss both of you and I hope to see you soon! ;-)

mwah!!

We can not be any more excited to be working with this adorable couple! They seriously are knock your socks off sweet. Lucky us, we get to work with them for a whole year on their summer 2012 wedding!!














Such a beautiful shot of Jamie! We seriously get so lucky that all of our brides are such models in front of the camera!





Love this one too! Irish Grzanich did a superb job capturing the couple in such precious moments. Head over to her blog to see even more shots of these two!











Congrats Jamie and Ryan! We are so excited to be a part of your big day-- we can't wait for your Darlington House wedding next summer!

A Lovely Testimonial As Our Weddings Start for 2011 in Marbella

Carla and Laura


Where do I start, I want to thank you both so much for a fantastic day, but not just that, also for a wonderful and enjoyable planning experience, which I must admit I am missing now it is all over!


From your ideas right through to your reassuring presence on the day, everything you did was efficient, discreet and our day passed off without a glitch. I smile when I think back and I am sorry it is all over, I would do it all again in a flash.


Both of you were super speedy with responses to my late night emails and whacky requests. You were in immediate contact from our arrival at Finca Maroc and a great support in the build up to the big day. Although I did not see you Laura on the Sunday- you definitely made your mark and when I came back from my beauty session the place looked almost as pretty as me :) !!


Carla, you were never far away, all day you were a supportive presence and I never had to think about anything that you had not already managed to perfection.


One of my favorite wedding moments was the look on your face, Carla, when a glass got broken on the table, my friends and I are still laughing about it as it was priceless!!! It was the only time you looked like you weren't in control all week - but so funny!!


Caroline and Karen made me look and feel beautiful, so beautiful in fact my own children did not recognise their mum! I appreciate their very hard work, their patience with our wacky requests and last minute extras - like Grandma's hair. They went so far to help me into my dress and a multitude of other jobs beyond the norm, so cool and calm and nothing was a problem.


Fiestasol were a big hit, everyone loved the food, all our guests savoured new things and enjoyed the perfectly mastered favourites. Heather and her staff looked great, again so cool and calm, informative about the food they were serving and so unobtrusive, even when they came to collect the tables the next day in what looked like an Aqua Park!


I will email the other suppliers, Natasha, Gary and Mijas Villas and copy you in and send some photos on when I get my act together :)
