Birthday Sneak Peek

So today is my wonderful mother's 70th (!!!!!) birthday.

Her guests were in shock when they received the invitation.

Some truly thought there had been a misprint on the actual age of the birthday girl.

Anyway.....we celebrated my mom with a get-together of friends and family this past weekend. I can't wait to share the pictures with you from the lovely afternoon, and tell you all about my battles with wind, bamboo and ribbon....but until then...a little sneak peek of some of the flowers that are still hanging around the Toaster...

Happy Birthday Mom!

Cheers!

Read me a love story....

Love is in the air.  Whether it's a Valentine soiree with girlfriends or an intimate dinner for two, Toast has the perfect design just for you.  Love letters and romantic stories have filled our imaginations of a love that could be and we found inspiration for the perfect setting of such a love's beginnings on this little estate in Goleta, CA. On the property there was a vintage building lovingly named "the library" which we thought was the perfect backdrop for our love story inspired table.   

A little ways down the road from this building we found a forest wonderland that was picturesque and beautiful and lent itself to inspire our fanciful feasting table full of sweets and treats.

 We had such a great time creating inspiration boards and contacting vendors to help inspire these beautiful tables, that would create the perfect event for any Valentine's day celebration.  Hopefully they inspire you to remember the most romantic of love stories and remind you to celebrate with the ones you love this Valentine's day.  

Cheers to you this Valentine's day!

I just came across this post by amazing photographer, Tanya Malott....I was so thrilled to see these images....enjoy. The bride and groom were wonderful to work with, the groom had a very clear what he wanted when it came to the look and feel of their wedding! I had a great lunch at Los Arroyos with the couple discussing their floral details! :)

(And yes, her dress was absolutely exquisite!)

Cheers!
