FABULOUS Friday!!!!

Last weekend I had the opportunity to work with the Bel-Air Bay Club in Pacific Palisades. Can I just say OMG such a beautiful, relaxing venue with superior customer service. During the wedding I knew they would be this weeks pick for FABULOUS Friday!!!!

I must say it was a breath of fresh air to work with such a friendly staff. EVERYONE was super nice, friendly professional and helpful! Honestly being that I was the coordinator for my client's wedding, the staff made me feel like "I" was the actual client because they truly catered to my every need! Talk about getting the VIP treatment! ;-)

I loved working with this FABULOUS staff in such a FABULOUS location! Andrea and I had a few minutes to sit on the balcony and listen to the sounds of the waves crashing while we were waiting for the reception to begin. Ahhhhhh....pure relaxation! The views from both the ceremony and reception were truly breathtaking! I fell in love with this location so much that I wanted to move in! It is a definite must consider when planning your next event.

It's FABULOUS Friday and I am craving Chocolate!!!! I feel like having a party just so I can contact our friend Brett over at Chocolate Delights! His chocolate fountains are sinfully delicious!!! The service is superior and the pricing is very affordable and worth every penny!!! Best of all....your guests will thank you for it because everyone loves a chocolate fountain! For some reason that inner child in us always comes out when a chocolate fountain is nearby!

Brett can add that unforgettable factor to your event just by providing a yummy fountain for your guests or changing the color of the chocolate fountain to match your color theme. How cool is that to walk into a room and see a huge red flowing chocolate fountain surrounded by tempting delights like strawberries, bananas, pineapple, marshmallows, and rice krispies treats. YUMMY!!!

FABULOUS Friday!!!!

Sorry everyone for missing last weeks FABULOUS Friday post! Believe it or not I took a much needed vacation and did not do ANY work for five days! Yes you read that correctly! FIVE WHOLE DAYS!!!! Trust me it was hard at the beginning to take time off....but after indulging in massages with my sister-in-law I decided I really needed some "me time" and "family time!" So.....here I am today....playing catch up!!!!

This week since I've been in a "shopping mood" I thought this would be the perfect time to share a FABULOUS company that can help you look FABULOUS in your wedding gown, bridesmaids dress, or your every day wear.

This weeks FABULOUS pick is Sculpted Silhouettes! Sculpted Silhouette celebrates the feminine form by offering a distinctive experience for women, including Breast Cancer Survivors who are seeking the perfect bra. Ladies, did you know selecting the "right" bra can help improve your self confidence and make you look even sexier in your clothing?!?!? If you answered no to that....you clearly are not purchasing the "right" bra! A lot of women "think" they know what bra size they should wear but are in the wrong size....selecting your correct size can change the way your clothing fits.

Lorne at Sculpted Silhouettes can arrange to have you fitted in the privacy of your own home or with some of your closest friends (like your bridesmaids) for a bra party! This is a bonding experience between girlfriends, you receive education that will help you look FABULOUS, and best of all....your confidence level is taken to a new level! Whether you are a size AA or a size K, Lorne can help you select the right bra to help bring out that sexy, confidant you! After all, every bride wants to look her best on her wedding day....remember beauty starts from within, so let's not forget what she's wearing under the gown! ;-)
