Viva Italia

Went to Monte Carlo Deli today in Burbank. It was really fun and I thought pretty yummy. My Italian co-worker, Diego, said the grocery section is very good and authentic but the deli is not….oh well. 

The gelato was DUHlicious! I mean look at that gelato! C’mon!

This was a little disturbing…does anybody know what you would use clam juice for?

Flower Market

I get to do wedding flowers for the first time in a couple weeks. I’m SO excited! Thank you Matt and Sarah for the opportunity!

Today my wonderful friend, Michelle, accompanied me to the market downtown for a wedding flowers prep day. We had such a great time!

The day started altogether too early for a Saturday morning, so our first stop was Starbucks for caffeine and scones. We made it downtown pretty quickly and survived a trip to the ATM in an “interesting” part of town. The market was absolutely wonderful! This is a great time of year to go see all the early spring blooms like lilacs and lilies. Both the main market halls were filled to the brim with beautiful blooms even mid-morning after the retail florists had come through. 

The day was definitely a successful venture. I got a good idea for prices and vendors and came home with some great “practice” flowers and supplies. Sarah has chosen some beautiful flowers for her event. We’re doing a monochromatic white/green simple elegance look. The ceremony will be in the rose garden at a local hotel.

I LOVE this idea for lining the aisle – so classy!

Michelle is also really good at putting photo collages together from events…so instead of trying to make my own, I thought I’d just borrow hers (thanks, Michelle!)
