So, a couple of weeks ago, I was invited to design two parties at La Costa Resort and Spa for a wedding coordinator get away they were planning.  What do wedding coordinators do when they’re not coordinating?  Well, these two days they were pampered by the staff of the resort, and I tantalized their senses with a great opening night party, all done in shades of hot pink, and then took them to the French Quarter for the closing night dinner.  Hey, it’s hard to impress a crowd like that!  They’re some of the most talented and creative people in the city, and let’s face it, they’ve seen ‘it’ all, so my designs needed to be unique, memorable and a little outside the box.

I had help from my friends (like the Beatles said) in pulling it all off…first there was Paige Levy in the catering office (Paige has now moved to the beautiful new Grand Del Mar…go see her) at La Costa Resort & Spa;  then there was Classic Party Rentals who pulled out the stops and got us all the great china and stemware you see in the photos;  Wild Flower Linen created beautiful pieces for our tables;  Plush Impressions brought in tons and tons of loungey furniture;  Wayne Foster Entertainment dazzled them at dinner and Tim Altbaum provided DJ services for the opening night party!  Did I forget anyone else?  Oh yeah, me…we did all the design and floral…so enjoy the next group of photos!

The entry was marked with huge floor vases filled with submerged spheres that were pink and opalescent…David at Plush, found me a hot pink runner…that in itself was amazing! 

Thanks to all who helped make this event a really cool success!
