With Pretty Little Events at the helm, every corner of the venue was transformed into a haven of springtime elegance and warmth.

So grab your favorite drink, cozy up, and join us as we take you behind the scenes of this magical collaboration—it's a journey you won't want to miss!

Let's talk about this stunning venue— The Anerton Warehouse. It's an absolute gem with endless possibilities! Picture clean white walls that serve as a blank canvas, just waiting to be adorned with your unique vision.

With such a versatile and well-appointed space, the possibilities are truly limitless.

We’ve worked with Create A Party many times and they always just astound us with their talents and rental pieces.

There were enchanting floral arrangements adorning every corner of the venue! Sprays of peach, pink, and white blooms intertwined with lush greens create a breathtaking tapestry of color and texture. From the favor display to the bar, the tables, and even around the bubble house, these gorgeous floral creations by Linda at LV Floral Events add a touch of natural beauty and elegance to every nook and cranny of the venue. Linda's talent and expertise shine through in every petal, showcasing her incredible skill in bringing floral dreams to life. She’s also just one of the sweetest people ever!

Adding a whimsical touch to our styled shoot is the enchanting bubble house by Bubble House LA. Nestled in one corner of the venue, the air currents within the dome gently push the balls, creating a magical dance of color and movement that captivates the imagination.

Can we all raise a glass to the stylish bar setup that added a touch of flair to this shoot?

Crafted with care and attention to detail, our bar menu, featuring an array of delectable drinks, was a true labor of love. The menu was engraved onto Baltic birch wood, adorned with delicate floral accents and elegant script font, adding a touch of sophistication.

The talented team at Stir Up Events Trailer brought their expert setup and delicious libations. From signature cocktails to classic favorites, the bar set ups offer a delightful selection for guests to enjoy throughout the festivities.

Of course, no cocktail would be complete without some garnishment. I love the stir sticks we designed for this event. They helped tie in the floral theme together at the bar and I am so happy with how they turned out.

Guests were treated to a sweet surprise at the favor shelf, where thoughtful tokens awaited to express gratitude for their presence. Fresh jars of golden honey from Hapa Honey Farm accompanied by personalized gift bags, each adorned with personalized engraved tags, courtesy of yours truly.

The pièce de résistance of our celebration was undoubtedly the stunning cake, a true work of art that captured the essence of springtime beauty. Designed by the talented Sweet Deetails, this confectionary masterpiece looked like it belonged amidst a lush floral centerpiece, adorned with an array of realistic edible flowers that mirrored the blooms scattered throughout the party. With meticulous attention to detail and expert craftsmanship, the cake served as a feast for the eyes, showcasing the skillful artistry of Sweet Deetails in capturing the essence of springtime beauty.

And last but certainly not least, a special acknowledgment to Erin J Saldana Photography for capturing every breathtaking moment of our event with such grace and artistry. Through her lens, the beauty and essence of the shoot were immortalized, allowing us to relive the magic time and time again. Erin has such a keen eye for details and her shots are always breathtaking. Plus she’s an amazing human and mama.

Review and Intentions

Alright, is it even a new year without a quick rewind of the previous one? I get it, it might seem a tad cheesy and like the latest trend. But you know what? A decade down the road, I'll cherish having that snapshot, a little peek into where life was at this very moment.

Looking back on 2023, it was a year of rekindling passions and setting intentions.

In mid 2023 the girls were both in school which allowed me to reclaim dedicated hours for my business. This was a heartfelt return to nurturing my entrepreneurial flame. It filled me in ways I really missed.

For 2024, I aim to fine-tune rather than expand my business, streamlining processes to amplify the quality of my craft. Professionally, it's about harnessing precision and improving product and customer experience.

Last year, I learned something pretty important: taking care of myself matters. So, this year, I'm stepping up that game. It's not just a fancy treat; it's what keeps me going strong in every part of life. Making time for myself isn't just about being there; it's about rocking it in every part of life.

Here's to a year dedicated to nurturing my business, fostering meaningful connections, and prioritizing self-care—a harmonious blend that defines the path I walk. Excited for the journey ahead!

A Whimsical & Elegant Styled Shoot: Creating Magic

Step into a world where enchantment and elegance intertwine, where colors dance, and the magic is flowing. This October, we found a place of magic at Second Space in Brea, California. The setting was whimsical and delightful, and the atmosphere was nothing short of pure wonder.

It was a styled shoot like no other, where creativity knew no bounds, thanks to Theresa Lee Events! She did an amazing job. We had the honor of contributing our own touch of charm to this party. We did moon and star stir sticks, 'hey boo' cake toppers, ghost stir sticks, ghost name tags, and the 'make your own magic' signage, each adding a sprinkle of our signature whimsy to the party.

Every photo from the shoot was an absolute masterpiece. The talented photographer, Sunny Kim Photography, managed to capture every detail, from the vibrant balloon garlands to the elegant lasercut details, perfectly. The result was a collection of photos that truly showcased the playful atmosphere of the styled shoot.

The mesmerizing multi-arch backdrop, provided by Iron Grace Rentals, was an absolute showstopper. It was a canvas for the theme of the day - "Make Your Own Magic." We added lasercut signage that perfectly captured the essence of the event. The backdrop always becomes the heart of the celebration. This backdrop nailed it.

The balloon garland added a fun and colorful touch to the backdrop. Its playful mix of light pink, ombre purple, black, white, cream, and light orange perfectly complemented the whole vibe of the styled shoot, making the whole setup feel even more enchanting. Simply Wild Party did a beautiful job with it!

The cake and other desserts from M Cake Sweets was nothing short of a culinary masterpiece – a deliciously ironic blend of elegance and spooky. Adorned with black skeleton hands and crowned with our cheeky "hey boo" cake topper, it was a delightful confection that mirrored the shoot's playful sophistication. M Cake Sweets truly brought the cake, and the chuckles, to the table.

The place settings were a delightful sight to behold, graced with the charming color palette of light pink, black, ombre purple, white, cream, and a touch of light orange. In this styled shoot, every detail was meticulously crafted to create an enchanting atmosphere. To complete the look, we added our moon and ghost stir sticks, which effortlessly blended into the theme.

The tables and chair rentals from Mini Mod Rentals added a touch of modern sophistication. The black Mid Century Modern chairs perfectly complemented the sleek white tables, creating an effortlessly stylish contrast. Our white and black lasercut ghost place cards attached to the back of each chair, were a charming addition, adding a playful element to each place setting.

In the world of styled shoots, our gathering at Second Space in Brea, California, truly shone as a unique experience. With pastels, ombre purples, and a touch of sass, we painted a picture that blended sophistication and playfulness. Thanks to our fantastic vendor team and the crew at Delovely Details, we are reminded of the boundless creativity and endless possibilities in the event industry. Until next time, let's keep creating magic together!
