ENGAGEMENT PHOTO SHOOT: PANTONE POPPY RED AND LINEN {LOVE AT THE BEACH}

February 13, 2013 By twosaparty Leave a Comment

This Love, Watercolor at the Beach, Engagement shoot was inspired by Pantone Colors, Poppy Red 17-1664 and Linen 12-1008. When we paired the colors together the Linen made us think of sand and the location was born from the ecclectic venue at Hotel Maya in Long Beach. We mixed in wood tones that work perfect with the Red Poppy and Linen. Our “love at the beach” theme took off. The morning of the shoot the sun gods worshipped us and made the amazing photoʼs by Lauren Avila Photography just stunning! Her shots on the sand with the Long Beach shoreline in the background are magical and the sun washing over our dessert set up, with desserts provided by Simply Layered, is stunning. Romance Etc. provided just we had invisioned for the floral decor, the airplants and pops of flowers in the natural manzinita branches are perfect! Our couple, “Yes, they really are a couple.” are adorable together. Her ombre dress is a piece of art on itʼs own, looks like it was made for her and was perfect for our color palette. Her hair by Jamie from Thairapy Salon and make-up by Jolieke, Poppy Red lipstick and beautiful smile, flawless! The whole day was amazing, all of the vendors that participated really stepped up! Thank You Hotel Maya for the venue and all the the vendors that make what we love to do so much easier! This shoot made me realize why I love living in the L.B.C.

TOM AND AMANDA’S WEDDING, RUSTIC ELEGANCE, DIORAMA’S, DINOSAUR’S, AND TOUCHES OF TAXIDERMY AT THE NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM OF LOS ANGELES

November 19, 2012 By twosaparty Leave a Comment

Wow! Where do we start? There is so much to this wedding that we want you all to see. We were so lucky to have coordinated their day and styled their dessert table. We thought we would post the dessert table first! Tom and Amanda are funky and hip with an underlying elegance and they wanted the decor of their day to project the two of them. The Natural History Museum was the perfect venue for their style choices and stunning ombre colors from navy to periwinkle.Lauren from Lauren Avila Photography captured the beauty of the day! Deborah from Romance Etc did the amazing floral design and added the finishing touches to the wedding cakes. My backdrop was already in play, how fun is the Gorilla Diorama! We used our Confection Collections rustic elegance dessert stands, risers and plates lined with birch for the delicious desserts from Tender Greens, worked in wood tree stumps to showcase the wonderful ombre cakes from Vanilla Bake Shop. We covered the dessert labels in moss and insects and used the same font’s from their wedding invitations, added in some birds, butterflies and the taxidermy owls (love this), and a linen table drape from La Tavola Linens. Is that the best cake topper you have ever seen?

Two’s A Party Signature Buffet

May 23, 2012 By twosaparty Leave a Comment

Allow us to introduce you to part two of the promised three-part photo-shoot.

Here’s our signature buffet, which was inspired by our logo design. We love the brown, blue, pink and orange color pallet from our logo so much that we decided it would make a wonderful confection buffet. The flowers bring sweet life into this buffet, and the branching steams drag your attention to all the goodies displayed. We had everything from cupcakes from Frosted Cupcakery to french macaron and pink sprinkled cookies from Katella Bakery. Fortunately we found these lovely flowers and delicious truffles at the wonderful Romance Etc. boutique.

This classy buffet would be a fun addition to any party!
