I just received an email from Sprinkles, and they have raspberry cupcakes. Raspberry frosting & raspberry cake can you say y-u-m-m-y! But only for a short time, of course! You know where I will be on the 7th!

Venues of the Southland~The City Club
The City Club on Bunker Hill in Downtown Los Angeles
I recently had the pleasure of coordinating a wedding at the City Club. They are located on the 54th floor of the Wells Fargo Building in Downtown LA. At the wedding I worked we were only there for the reception. The ceremony above is in the room we had cocktails in. It is a fabulous location with stunning view. Although, the reception takes place facing east so you can't really see the sunset or the ocean. But if you want a 'City' venue and want to be above it all then this is the place. It is the highest venue in LA.
Happy Reading,

Beverage Monday
MMM, Chocolate!
I am going to veer away from actual beverages today and talk about chocolate. I saw this product in the summer edition of Bride and Bloom and thought it would be a perfect fit for Beverage Monday. It is for the wine lover who happens to love chocolate, too. It is called CocoaVinoso™. It is a premium dark chocolate that is blended exclusively from the highest quality cacao beans imported from around the world. You can enjoy it by itself or pair it with the corresponding red wine. They have all kinds of other fun pairings on their website. Check them out.
Cheers,

Going down the aisle
Ok I don't usually prowl You Tube, but this was emailed to me. It surely is a different way to go down the aisle! You usually see choreographed dances when the bridal party is introduced, but not going down the aisle!

Peacock Board
It has been months since I have done an Inspiration Board and I have had these images for awhile. Peacock feathers are popping up everywhere. It can be a bit much to use them for every element, but they do make for a beautiful color scheme!
