Years and years ago, when I just just starting my path toward fashionista-dom, I discovered Daily Candy. It’s an email/e-zine that covers lots of yumminess in popular cities – the best food, fashions, deals, etc in the area.

Recently, they just launched a weddings page with all the latest dish devoted solely to your big day! And even better,  today’s article featured some of my pictures of  Fantasy Floral Designs brooch bouquets from the Dana Point Yacht Club. Click HERE to check it out!

You should also go check out the page since they are giving away a $100,000 wedding.

My friend Alice Hu did an entire photo shoot with the  bouquets and her fabulous photos are also in the mix.

In other news, I’ve been taking a few days off to celebrate Chinese New Year with my family, but I’ll leave you with a photo from the last SoCal PhotogShootout. More to come, of course!

Well, since I didn’t fall in love on the one and only cruise I’ve experienced – I may have been too busy EATING to pay attention to the boys (I was also only 16 years old), my fanciful, grade school yearnings of finding love on the Pacific Princess were dashed.

So, last week, as I stepped foot onto The Pilgrim, a schooner docked in the Dana Point Harbor, all the 8 year old visions of romantic bliss permeated my senses and I could envision my perfect white wedding aboard this ship while my family friends, the Captain, his daughter, and the cruise director, Julie McCoy looked on.

BRIDES: If you are looking for a fabulous, unique wedding venue, you have to check out Dana Point Yacht Club. And oh so conveniently, they are hosting a bridal event this February 28th. Lots of delicious food and vendors will be on hand to help you design your dream wedding –although I don’t think the cast of the Love Boat will be here. More info and tickets HERE.
