B/S

we had a great experience at the bridal show on sunday. we met some really cool vendors and made some great connections with future clients. while putting this together, so many people came together to help me. it was an amazing feeling. our best friends, brian and erika were with us for the entire day from set-up to breakdown and for that, i am truly thankful. it was hard work, but the best kind of hard work. so we ended the day right with drinks and dinner at lolas.

our set-up was pretty clean. i really wanted it to capture our aesthetic. we wouldn't have been able to make it this fantastic though, not without the help of brian ramirez and olson visual, who built our modular (backlit) table and printed all of our signage. which turned out absolutely beautiful!

if you would like to see more photos from the bridal show follow us on instagram and Facebook.

macrame and morning talks with my mama

my mom is so crafty. she recently planted me a beast of a succulent/cacti collection (photo above). this morning, during one of our daily convos, something got us on the subject of jute. which got her talking all about her macrame obsession in the 70s and all of her creations. she said she wanted to macrame everything. she's so cute. i told her i want her to teach me. apparently, it's super duper easy. 

i have some centerpiece ideas in mind. my mom and i are going to bring them to life, and now that macrame is in the mix of things, that's a plus!  

i feel a craft day coming on!

an art party and 4 weddings in the pipeline. 

we are going to be some busy peacocks. 

i look forward to these upcoming weddings. it's so dang cool to hear people's wedding ideas and what inspires them. i am so fascinated with event planning. i have had so many parties in my life and absolutely love to entertain. i hope to get more involved in the planning aspect of events. lord knows that one of the few things i love more than playing my jams for people, is planning a pretty party. 

i plan on djing a lot this year.

so.... call me. 

have a jamming weekend. 

xo,

steph

shake it like pro

goodness, what a week! we djed the shaushkin wedding on saturday. it was a success. other than a minor freakout i had last week when the motherboard on our macbook pro died. ironically, it died the same day as steve jobs. 

tuesday night i got home from work (after midnight) and hopped on my 5 year old laptop. when suddenly, the screen got all zig zag-y. i quickly rebooted and got the same fuzzy screen. i ran to our bedroom and woke tor "oh my god! i don't know what happened!!" annoyed to be bothered with yet another IT issue, and to be woken up like that, he walked over to our laptop and rebooted and then started talking computer talk. "what? we have a wedding on saturday, hector! all of my music is on that laptop!!!" (he later told me that i turned as white as a ghost). after bickering at each other for about 10 minutes, we went to bed. 

wednesday morning i went straight to the local apple store. i ran in and desperately ran over to the first guy with an apple on his shirt. "our next available appointment at the genius bar is at 11:30." okay, great. i wandered around cerritos mall for an hour and a half. as 11:30 approached, i went in and spoke to someone named daryl. he was really cool. he assured me that everything was going to be all right. he took me over to a genius who plugged my pro in and said "it's your motherboard." it will take about 10 days to fix. i knew that i needed to buy a new laptop immediately after he called my laptop vintage but not yet obsolete. "it has another good year." 

in the end, it all worked out. needless to say, i purchased a new macbook pro that day. a 13 inch cutie. that was a close call! in the back of my head i had the voices of all the elderly people i have encountered at work over the years that have often said "what will you kids do when you lose everything on your computers?" it made me think back to the days when i used to play records when i djed. i guess in some ways i miss it, in other ways, it's just not practical for me to carry around 6 hours worth of music on vinyl. 

the shaushkin wedding was beautiful. it was the first time i had experienced a ceremony that included saying vows to their child as well as to each other. they held hands with their son and gave him a little bracelet. promised to always love him. so beautiful. 

i was proud of myself for keeping it together.

like a pro. 

congratulations chris and vanessa! thanks for letting us be a part of your lovely day.
