NOZZA's wedding season couldn't have come to an end in 2009 any better than with Karen and Steve's wedding. It's always a great pleasure to work with wonderful clients but sometimes there are those clients that just leave a little imprint in your heart. Working with Karen and Steve from the very beginning was a complete ease.

Not only did they trust me unconditionally with every detail, vendor selection, and design they gave me complete creative control from start to finish. I remember one of our very first concept meetings when I said to them "wouldn't it be great if you did your engagement session in Paris, after all what more Art Deco can you get than France" and just like the Art Deco Divine design was create. What a perfect excuse to travel to France. Henry captured some amazing moments of the two of them in France. To see a glimpse of those you can visit Henry's Blog.

With the concept idea in mind the rest of the planning fell into place. We selected the beautiful Cicada Restaurant located in Downtown Los Angeles. The focal point of the wedding was the gorgeous chandelier that hangs from the center of the room. We created an intimate circular ceremony directly in the middle of the room. After the ceremony the staff at Cicada worked double time to convert the room into the reception. The room was set in tones of gold, creams, burgundy and shades of pink with touches of feathers throughout.

I'm extremely thankful to have had such a great 2009 but more so to have ended my season with Karen and Steve's wedding. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect couple to work with. Thank you for trusting me with one of the most important days of your life.
