What We've Been Up To!

It was a crazy, busy and fun Summer and now Fall is quickly passing us by! We're coming up on the last wedding of the season this October 27th and it's super special because it's my brother's :) I will post pictures soon! I've also been working my tail off on launching my own online mini magazine! It's for current and future clients, along with family and friends to give everyone an inside look at Constance Curtis Events. We're scheduled to launch this coming week (eeeekkkk!!!) but due to my brother's wedding :), the launch may get pushed back till the first week of November. In the meantime, here's a sneak peek of the cover!!!

Baby Girl Shower by Southern California Wedding Planner, Constance Curtis

I love planning any kind of event! Weddings are my first love but I jump at the opportunity to plan baby showers, kids birthday parties, and bridal showers. They are so much fun! Over the past couple months I put together a little something special for my sister and my niece, Lola Rae, who is arriving in March :) It was fun and relaxed and more importantly, done inexpensively for those on a budget! Take a peek below and enjoy :)

Desserts were done by Sweet and Saucy! and Linens provided by Elegant Designs Specialty Linens. The rest of the decorations I made :)

My 5 Favorite things of 2011 by Southern California Wedding Planner, Constance Curtis

I have a lot of favorite things from my 2011 weddings but here are my top 5 (OK, maybe 6 :) It was hard to narrow it down!!)

#6: Video shot on Super 8 Film. I had a few 2011 clients love this and even more 2012 clients! It's so super neat! Unfamiliar with what I'm talking about? Check out some videos from Shark Pig.

#5: Lighting! It's probably the number one thing that is overlooked which is such a bummer because it can change the entire look and feel of a wedding. I especially love this Violet/Chocolate brown lighting we did at our Big Canyon Country Club wedding!

#4: Coral/Peach! I cannot get enough of this color right now!! A few images of flowers from my 2011 weddings! I hope I get a few more 2012 clients that want to incorporate this color because I'm not quite ready to say goodbye :)

#3: Wood Tables! I love rectangular tables but I especially LOVE wood ones! Wood tables at our Malibu wedding:

#2: Vintage Furniture! Vintage furniture can be expensive so it's not for every client but it's so super neat to incorporate when you can! A picture of a shoot we did on the beach with vintage furniture from Ribbons and Rust!

and my #1 favorite thing from my 2011 weddings... I bet you can guess it... Dessert Bars!!! This is my #1 because I'm not a huge cake fan. I like to nibble on a lot of different desserts :) and guess what?? This trend isn't going anywhere! Yippe!! A couple of my favorite dessert bars we did this year:

Thanks and Happy Holidays!!!
