Destination Mexico - Sneek Peek

Decor: Cigar Box & Paper Flowers Photo Courtesy of Duke Photography

I'm jumping out of my chair and saying WoooHooo. My dogs are looking at me like I'm crazy. The new issue of YOUR WEDDING DAY MAGAZINE is ready to hit the new stands tomorrow. Fed Ex just brought me a whole box. I almost kissed the poor delivery guy. I'm so happy because we were honored with creating an inspirational design feature. We created a DESTINATION MEXICO set, with the amazing talent of French Buckets Floral Design, linens from Glow Concepts, paper products by Tange Design, cuisine by 24 Carrots Catering, and so many more. Our set is LUSH, COLORFUL, and JOYFUL. You have got to see it. The icing on the cake is that the our work was photographed by Duke Photography. How lucky is that? There is a reason Duke is one the most sought after photographers in Southern California. He's humble and passionate about what he does.

Get to your closest bookstore tomorrow and get one! The other DESTINATIONS are San Francisco, Las Vegas and Hawaii. I'm bursting with pride to be featured alongside such amazing designers. You are going to blown away by the talent in this issue. It's filled with gowns, flowers, expert advice, and tons of INSPIRATION.

Check back soon for the a blog post with all the images. We can't wait to share. I'm skipping, skipping, skipping.

Tuscany Inspired Wedding Flowers

Wedding Jeannie does more than plan wedding for discerning couples. If you're a loyal fan of my blog, you've seen the teaser shots my Tuscany Inspired Wedding Photo Shoot. You're in for a yummy treat if this is your first time here.

Because of the dream team on this project, an idea transformed into a stunning shoot that was published by the Style Unveiled Blog. The shoot showcased a new venue in San Juan Capistrano, called Serra Plaza. The floral designer was the WICKED TALENT Sussanna Lynn Davidson, owner of French Buckets in Orange County. In these photos captured by the amazing Chris Griffiths of Imagery Immaculate, witness Sussanna's creativity, and try not to drool.


The bride's bouquet was delicate and organic with garden roses, herbs and feathers.





I loved how Sussanna affixed a vintage rosary to the bouquet handle.You can imagine that this was a family heirloom the bride carried close to her heart. You can do the same with a broach, a locket, a photo.....let your imagination run wild, and make your bouquet personal.


A lush Italian table. Roses, wildflowers and herbs tumbling out of a footed urn, say ABUNDANCE.
Sussanna never fails to disappoint when it comes to fine DETAILS. She filled vintage perfume bottles, coffee urns and bud vases with various flowers to fill every available spot. The result is a POLISHED look.


Not all ceremony decor needs to be decorated with flowers. Since we had a rustic Italian theme, Sussanna filled the altar with rosemary plants wrapped in burlap. She adorned the church pews with rosemary, lavender, sage and wheat. All were wrapped in vibrant ribbon. CAN YOU SMELL IT? Almost right? Make sure to subscribe to our blog if you like this post. Next week, we'll feature the ITALIAN CUISINE, by Jay's Catering.

Tuscany Wedding Photo Shoot

Enjoy this Tuscan Style Ceremony Site, from the talented lens of Chris of Imagery Immaculate I had the absolute priviledge to design and create a photo shoot at Serra Plaza. It's a stunning venue in San Juan Capistrano. The goal was to showcase the beauty and details of this new venue. Filled with warm adobe colors, tile roofs and a bubbling fountain, I saw Tuscany. The challenge was to create it!

The photo shoot was visually amazing from every angle. In fact it was featured on The Style Unveiled Blog this week. Since it was featured, we've had such amazing feedback. I even received an email from another planner from South Florida. I would love to hear your comments. And if you want a wedding that feels like Tuscany, call me. I can make it happen.

I have to give kudos to the amazing team of professionals that made this vision come to live. If you want a dream team for your wedding, call these peeps.
