vendor spotlight - Amy's Tailoring

Tina, from Amy's Tailoring, does a fantastic job with my brides' gowns and all kinds of alterations. From hems to bodice work, to the only bustles that I trust not to come apart on the wedding day, she always comes though for my brides and at a very reasonable price too. Almost always, she beats the quotes that dress shops will give you for alterations and I totally think she'll do a better job!

I used Tina's services for my own wedding gown back in 2007.  My dress had a ball skirt and a super long train.  she was able to skillfully bustle it so that it minimized the bulk:

Here's a fabulous double bustle that's she's working on for a bride!  

Tina can be found at:
144 West Bastanchury Road
Fullerton, CA
714-871-5271

She actually moved across the street from where her shop use to be. The address used to be 111 West Bastanchury and that's where Google maps takes you, but it's now 144, across the street. So make sure you turn into Laguna Road into Bastanchury Square where the dental office and SAT prep is and away from the US Bank and Wells Fargo Bank across the street.


I know that I've sent many of my brides to Amy's Tailoring.  I'd love to hear your thoughts and your experience with her!  Please feel free to share it here or on our DRE facebook page!

P.S.  Do you know who the bride is in the picture?  Ssshhh, don't tell!  In a few months, I'll reveal who this beautiful bride is!

event Insurance

For the vendors out there, here's a great site to purchase event insurance from:

theeventhelper.com provided a super easy process, giving you an instant quote based on the number of attendees and length of the event.  Useful for annual insurance as well!

Happy planning!

product review - spray adhesive

I love spray glue!!!  Be careful to distinguish between this and other products like photo mount spray.  It's not as strong as 3M™ Super 77™ Multipurpose Adhesive.






In 1 hour, I was able to create 100 of these double-sided ceremony fans all by myself!  


Just need some ribbon to tie onto the handles and they're all set!

leap year party

had a great time at the leap year party hosted by utterly engaged!  it was held at pandora on green in pasadena.  my favorite feature was the photobooth backdrop by sutando.  the guys were great and they can even customize the backdrop to whatever would coordinate for your event.

wedding ~ michelle and kevin

it was 5 years ago that i had the pleasure of seeing michelle and kevin get married at the beverly hills hotel.  this tree as their centerpiece was one of the amazing elements that kevin lee of la premier designed for the couple's wedding.  the table is custom-cut in half to allow for the tree trunk to fit in the center.  


stay tuned as i reminisce about their wedding this week!
