Lazaro Top Weddings of the Summer

{DANIELLE + NICK}

Event Coordinator: Soigne Productions; Photography: Kristen Beinke; Save the Date, Invitations and Reception items: Lazaro Design; Venue: Firestone Vineyard;

Lush apple greens combined with neutral tones set the stage for a romantic and rustic vineyard wedding celebration for Nick and Danielle. We created this gorgeous vintage style monogram for the save the date cards, invitations and favors, and for the table cards, Danielle surprised Nick by naming each table after his favorite guitars. They were a hit! Both the bride and groom work in the music industry, so of course they treated their guests to an unforgettable star-studded event! This was my first opportunity to work with the talented Tonya Szele of Soigne Productions, who was the mastermind behind this beautifully detailed celebration! Take a look . . .

'Decandence' was the word of the day when bride and event planner Ariel Yve married Joseph Danchisko. No detail was left untouched, and Ariel's inspiration of colors gold and pinks could be seen throughout the ceremony and reception. Look out for this wedding on 'Platinum Weddings' on the Oxygen channel, airing January 11, 2009.

New Territory

Definitely new territory for me, but I have to admit that it is exciting to finally have my very own blog. My friends, clients and colleagues have insisted that I get to work on this so I am finally making it happen! As a Designer, I have the opportunity to collaborate with amazing event professionals and work on truly extraordinary and special events. I hope to inspire someone to personalize whatever it is that you do and make it your own. Thanks for taking a peek, and be sure to stay tuned for more! TLC
