News: A collaboration with Dream A Little Dream Events

January 24th, 2012

I am so excited to announce a new collaboration for 2012! Well Rehearsed is teaming up with Kathryn Kalabokes and her team at Dream A Little Dream Events to offer a comprehensive wedding planning experience for brides and grooms (and their families).

So what does this mean? In the simplest terms, by combining the efforts of our two planning companies we want to create the ultimate, complete wedding planning experience for our clients. “Brides and grooms expectations are evolving to view the wedding as not just a reception, but an entire weekend to share with their guests,” says Kathryn.

Our approach is to work with each couple to plan their celebration in its entirety from welcome party and rehearsal dinner, to wedding to day-after brunch. So often we experience that the rehearsal dinner becomes a last minute afterthought but in reality it’s the perfect way for the couple to spend more quality time with their guests. And now the complete planning can take place in one spot at the Dream A Little Dream Design Studio in Pacific Heights!

As a couple, taking on planning the night before your wedding and events after the big day, can be entirely overwhelming. Our team is your team in creating that perfect weekend. So whether these events fall on your plate, or perhaps the groom’s family needs a helping hand, we have it covered.

They’re Here! A new collection of centerpieces.

September 26th, 2011

Hello! I know I’ve been MIA for some time. But as I will share with you, for good reason. I am excited to formally announce a new product from Well Rehearsed. These are our Streets of San Francisco Centerpieces which are one-of-a-kind centerpieces that have been designed to tell a story about a particular landmark or part of the city.

So how did I come up with this? I have been involved with so many events where clients ask me to “create something San Francisco.” So, I thought the best way would be to build unique centerpieces, scaled to fit on a dining table that represented our amazing city.

Currently there are a collection of seven of San Francisco’s most classic icons/landmarks available: Golden Gate Bridge, Fisherman’s Wharf, Cable Cars, Chinatown, Painted Ladies, San Francisco Giants and Sourdough Bread. But I’m not stopping here. I have two new centerpieces in the works… so stay tuned!

So how can you get one for your event? Give me a call or email me. I quote all rentals per event and want to understand your details to make sure everything is a perfect fit. And we can also talk about adding special touches such as invitations, escort cards, menus, linens and rentals to bring it all together.

I’ve added a few photos to give you a sneak peek and to see the whole collection and detailed shots of each centerpiece, visit our Collection page on our website.

I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

Cinco de Mayo Baby Shower

May 5th, 2011

Each event that I design focuses on creating an experience for the guests. I love telling a story about the person being celebrated through the beauty and fun of the event! This baby shower was no different! The mama-to-be loved margaritas and guess what? Her due date was May 5th – Cinco De Mayo. So a fiesta baby shower it is!

The “theme” was easy. Now the inspiration for the decor. I sourced some adorable burro pinata invitations that had the papel picados (mexican paper banners) and it became the backbone for the party. We hung rows of papel picados, used baby burro pinatas as table decor and stuffed a full-sized burro pinata with baby “necessities” and had mom smash it open. (Un-blindfolded of course — no need for any injuries).

We served a Mexican brunch with individual chicken enchiladas and a festive banana cake decorated with papel picados. One of the favorite gifts was the diaper cake. I still have not seen a cuter version! Guests departed with a baby succulent plant in a terra cotta pot. Gracias!
