My Cousin's Wedding

My cousin got married awhile back, and it surely took me awhile to get all the pictures together! The fun western bbq rehearsal dinner took place at the Gundlach Bundschu Winery with a gorgeous sunset as a backdrop. The main affair was hosted at the enchanting and timeless romantic Beaulieu Garden in Napa Valley. It was definitely a dream wedding, and they made it even more special by going on an around the world honeymoon dream trip!

Time flies!

It has been a while since my last update and during that time a lot of great things have happened! One of our weddings, Joyce and James's at Stonepine, was featured on Style Me Pretty, which is one of the most popular wedding blogs out there. Also, 8events was interviewed by the World Journal and appeared on their daily newspaper for three straight days. What an honor!

Outside of the recognition, we were involved in several charity events and weddings that I cannot wait to share more details about.


Last, after being in the wedding planning business for 4 years, it was finally my turn to be the blushing bride! It was such a magical day and I am lucky to marry my best friend ! I will share my experiences as a bride here with some pictures and video soon! Meanwhile, if you're curious, SF Style Unveiled selected me as their "bride in the city" to share my experience as a bride planning a wedding. The website is so resourceful with many great wedding news and ideas, so check it out!! Before throwing out more updates, here is the wedding that was featured on Style Me Pretty

July 4th BBQ

What better way to celebrate the 4th of July than with a patriotic BBQ party! Go Red, white, blue! Even better to finish off with Fred's steak from Schaub's Meat and donuts from Krispy Kreme.

December wedding in Taiwan!

My sister found the love of her life in Michigan. The bride and groom decided to have their wedding in Taiwan to allow other family members to attend. It was a grand celebration for both sides of the newly formed family. One month before her wedding date, I flew into Taiwan and started the planning process as soon as I landed! It was quite a challenge as we anticipated 450 guests and the gorgeous venue that we booked was brand new. It took a few trips to her venue until we could envision how the wedding would turn out! In one month, we did the food tasting, had several dress fittings for the four wedding dresses she would wear during the lavish ceremony & reception, visited the floral market to pick out her flowers, compiled a music playlist, attended makeup/ hair consultations, accompanied her and her fiance to ballroom dancing classes, handled countless details and worked on design concepts!

The wedding turned out so beautiful, and made all the sleepless nights seem worth it! The lighting and the extra props that we brought in created a phenomenal space. Chairs were gloved in gold covers to match with the table linens. The giveaway roses, choreographed waltz, and elegant piano music were a few highlights of the event.

Most importantly, my sister was so relaxed and looked completely flawless and divine throughout the ceremony and reception! I am very happy for her!

My Birthday Bash

It was my BIG 3-0h birthday two weeks ago, so I decided to host a garden party at my house with some close friends. It was exactly what I wanted, intimate, relaxed and nothing extravagant.
