And I’ll brag if I want to!!
Oh my gosh you guys- it went so, swimmingly well!! I loved every anxiety-filled moment of it. Have I explained before my complete and utter shyness?? Imagine having everyone you’ve ever met from each different path of life pop into the same room all at once… wait, why am I explaining this to you all? You’re planning a wedding! Anyway- it was gorgeous and perfect and lovely. Just enough details to make my heart swoon. Just enough people to make it feel perfect. Just enough love to send my heart up and away for the rest of the month. I am so in debt to those who support me. You all have no idea what it means, truly! Now, if you’re friends with me on Facebook [Become Amanda's friend on Facebook by clicking here!!], you may have already seen these, but a HUGE shout out to Brian Khang for being so utterly fabulous and blogging pictures ever-so-quickly to whet my appetite for more!
The party was, of course, a black, white, and grey themed extravaganza!! The best way I know how to represent!
I wanted it to feel like a classic, vintage Americana themed party with mini desserts, signature drinks, and a modern twist of course!
For the party, I filled my studio space with lounge furniture, specialty lighting, music, details, and a photobooth! All of which were a smash hit with the crowds!
Those gorgeous love quotes on the wall- those are a permanent feature of the In The Now Studio. They’re a labor of LOVE and my favorite part about my studio space for the moment. We truly try to live by, and plan our events with, our signature phrase: loving love, forever and always. It’s so important to me in my personal life, and that spills into my work life so beautifully! One last collage for you from the fave B. Khang:
[Hand cut flag banners + black/white baker's twine + obnoxiously large push pins= somewhere in Heaven there's a place for me!]
Let’s just say: the confetti toss was a hit. Any excuse for me to toss confetti, I’m totally into.

Sweet and Saucy Shop for gifting me the ADORABLENESS that is her little mini cupcakes. Ugh thanks Melody!! Plus, hello deliciousness!! [Nice to meet you, Sir!]
Sunseri’s Bar Service and Ralph, for being beyond-amazing. Rolling with the punches, and helping my crowd kick back and have FUN!
Karen and Ryan at Cheesy Photobooths who are consistently a good time and who always bring down the house! The guests loved it and I LOVE the pictures!!
Flowers On Mars for providing me with ALL of the lighting my little heart could dream of. Patterned gobos, up lights, down lights… oh my!
And last but CERTAINLY not least- my favorite John Suarez from After Dark Entertainment who pulled through for me last minute to provide some music for the event. Why are you so amazing, John?? I loved having you and Haydee there!
I cannot- not not NOT- wait to see the video that my dear friend Isabel Gonzalez is editing for me of the event. Hold your breath, readers, it’s going to be epic!
Thanks to all who shared with me! Hope your weekend is fab beyond words FAB!
