Shoreside Sparkle

Congratulations to our beautiful couple Bella and David who got married at one of our private estates August 2009!!!

Guests were greeted by valet service, then invited to enjoy a pre-ceremony cocktail hour before the "i-dos" began.

They were married in an intimate ceremony in the topiary garden overlooking the ocean. Crisp white compass chairs created clean contrast to a perfectly manicured lawn, and sparkling blue ocean in the distance. Heavy white petals marked the path to the altar, and flowers tucked into the base of each pre-existing topiary created a special feel.

Following the Ceremony guests were invited to enjoy cocktails on the lawn behind the ceremony space and the mansion. Lucioius lounge furniture created a cozy space for guests to snuggle as they enjoyed hors d'oeuvres and refreshments.

Dinner followed at a horse-shoe shaped dining table constructed out of kings tables, dressed with high end linens that suggested "coral" in blue and soft green, blue shiney silk napkins belted glass silver chargers, and bling encrusted place cards served as belt buckles of sorts to the whole effect. Cosmo glassware, and plenty of glamorous crystal votives and hurricane holders added even more of a special touch as they picked up the sparkles of light reflecting off the ocean view. Yummy soft flowers of moss, roses, and white orchids filled the space of a runner down the length of the table.

Thinking Sushi? Why Not Michi?

Dear Brides and Grooms,

Gabi and I had the honor to sit and chat with owner Mr. Sheen Michi Shin, Chef Extraordinaire and his team of Michi Sushi (http://www.michisushi.com/) yesterday for a tasting.

Not only was their food outstanding! Their attitude about how they create and serve their cuisine was awesome! With a motto like "Life is Always Beautiful with Michi!" Mr. Shin explained that his customers are always very excited to call in and make a reservation with them, and then after a few days of anticipation, when they finally come in, and finally get to enjoy Michi's delicious creations, he says they leave content and happy=) I know I do!!!

Mr. Shin shared a lot of exciting possibilities with us at lunch. He explained that they offer catering for weddings and events of all kinds, they can work with you on any budget, and they do more than just sushi! They can do mexican and italian food too! You name it they can do it! They offer tastings for Brides and Grooms and whomever would like to accompany them, and will work to customize a menu to their tastes. Mr. Shin has been the creator of sushi that is on the cuspt of "New Wave" sushi, combining flavors from all different ethnic foods into his sushi art. A good example is the "Sushi Quesadilla" Gabi and I had yesterday, nummmmy!!!

They also offer a special promotion if you have a party of 7 or more, they will offer a limo to pick you up at your home, bring you to Michi for your meal, and then out to whereever you'd like to party afterwards for $50!!! This could be a fun idea for a Bridal shower, Bachelor or Bachelorette party!!!

Throughout the month they also run specials so make sure to check their web site!!!

Bringing creative new ideas to the table for your wedding is what we are all about! Why not add a sushi bar to your cocktail hour? Or for a late night bite? Perhaps for a rehearsal dinner at home, or a brunch? Whether you use Michi as a caterer, or rent out their space, you will be very happy with your experience!

$10 discount cards are now available for clients of Gabi and Nicole, just come in and get one! Here are their two locations:

2220 Winchester Blvd, Campbell, CA 95008

2465 Winchester Blvd Campbell, CA 95008

Much love, lots of sushi!!!

Nicole and Gabi

Ribbon Cutting Was a Huge Success!!!

Dear All,

Our Ribbon Cutting event last night was a huge success! We had so much fun cutting the ribbon with Mayor of Campbell Jane P. Kennedy! I loved using the big scissors and ribbon! Hehe...I'm such a dork!

Thank you to all of the local merchants in Campbell, the city council of Campbell, everyone else who works for the City of Campbell, as well as our past, present, and future Brides and Grooms that joined us in celebration last night!

Also, we couldn't have done it without the help and generous donations of our sponsors:

And a verrry special thank you to the best office mate and friend a girl could ever have, Gabi of Gabrielle's Bridal Atelier!!! I'd also like to thank her wonderful Husband Raul for all of his support throughout the past 9 plus months of construction and hard work on our new space! He's awesome!

Without our family and friends, staff members, wedding professionals/friends, and clients, we would not be where we are today. I humbly thank you from the bottom of my heart. I dreampt about the day we would have our own design studio, and I knew I wanted it bad, but I never knew it would be this good!

Tonight is our Grand Opening for Friends, Family, and Wedding Professionals, and if you haven't gotten the invitation somehow, call me on my cell phone at 408-348-4956 immediately to be added to our guest list.

Much love always,
