~ Frosting Friday ~

We've gotten a taste of winter this past week in Los Angeles with chilly temperatures and rain storms and it makes me miss the snowy winters I had growing up in New Jersey. In Southern California the closest thing we'll have to a White Christmas are views of mountain tops covered with snow. So for today's Frosting Friday feature I am sharing a very wintery ice blue cake with pinecones touched with snow. Happy Holidays!

Bella Weddings Featured in The Knot Magazine

Susan and I are thrilled to be included in the Spring/Summer 2010 edition of The Knot magazine. We were featured in the section "just between us" where we provided tips for So Cal brides. It is an honor to be included as top Southern California Planners, and is an amazing way to end the year and start out 2010 with a bang.

Be sure to pick up your own copy of The Knot Spring/Summer 2010 on newsstands now.

Stay tuned till next week for our featured wedding that was included in the latest edition of The Knot magazine.

Leanne & Jeff ~ Greystone Mansion

On what had to have been one of the hottest days of the year (in Beverly Hills!), we had the pleasure of working with Leanne and Jeff on their beautiful and touching wedding. The love and support of their family and friends was felt throughout the day and the bride and groom were glowing with happiness. One of the most special parts of the evening was a performance that Leanne secretly planned with her family and friends as a surprise for Jeff - and he was truly surprised!

Leanne and Jeff - it was truly a pleasure to be a part of your special day and we wish you a lifetime of happiness together!

Please enjoy some of our favorite shots of the day courtesy of our friends at Next Exit Photography.
