titleSt. Patrick’s Day Fun

Thursday, March 18th, 2010

I always love an excuse to have a dinner party and invite a few friends over. I guess I can now officially call St. Patrick’s Day a “tradition” in my home. For the past few years I have been firing up the crock pots cooking up corned beef and cabbage. Here are a few photos of the process.  I made 15 lbs this year (that’s 3 crock pots!). Enough for dinner and plenty for leftovers. Yum!

I kept my tabletop simple. A few pots of shamrocks (oxalis) and a four leaf clover at each place setting. A drop of  food coloring makes for festive green beer. Even my cat was trying to get into the spirit. Cheers!

I’ve received a lot of questions about the plastic bags that you see in the photos below. They are called slow cooker liners and are the BEST invention EVER! They make clean up a snap.  I’ve had good luck finding them at Target.

Each year I try something new. This year it was the dessert: Chocolate Guinness Goodness. They are supposed to look like pints of Guinness. And I added a little gold on top for good luck. And of course a few gold coins that landed at the end of the rainbow.

titleHow much does this cost?

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010

This past weekend I was a guest at the Thomas Fogarty Winery Open House. It’s a spectacular venue nestled up off of Skyline Road. What I loved about this event was the education component that Ellie Warner and her team of designers added. Wedding planner Janece Shellooe of Every Elegant Detail and floral designer Amy Burke of Amy Burke Designs put together three tablescapes to showcase the different levels and price points of design. Rentals were provided by Hartmann Studios and paper design by Rachel Hanson.

It’s often very inspiring to see beautiful tabletop photos but often difficult to determine the price and complexity that may be involved in creating them. This was a great way to compare and contrast three designs side to side.

Can you guess the cost for each 8-person table? (Scroll down slowly. I’ve listed the answers under each photo)


Rentals: $70

Floral: $70

Paper Design: $40

Total: $180

Rentals: $225

Floral: $85

Paper Design: $100

Total: $410

Rentals: $285

Floral: $620

Paper Design: $130

Total: $1,035

Rentals – $70

Floral – $70

Paper Design – $40

Total – $ 180

titleRehearsal Dinner – Josselyn & Matt

Friday, February 5th, 2010

A tale of two coasts. Josselyn grew up in the bay area looking west while Matt’s home was in Cape Cod looking east. The goal was to bring the feeling of the two coasts together without being too overbearingly nautical or “beachy.” Calming colors of slate blue, light blue, sandy tan and crisp white were the main colors of the event. Tables were covered in “timeless ticking” wedgewood linens and decorated with vases of sand, sea shells, whispy sea grass as well as vintage boat lanterns. Accent tables were draped in “sundance” linen, reminiscent of quilted beach blankets.

Guests watched the beautiful sunset behind the Golden Gate Bridge while dining on delicious New England Clam Chowder (a special request from the mother-of-the-groom).

Here are a few photos as captured by Jasmine Wang. Enjoy! -K.

Venue: Golden Gate Yacht Club
Linens: La Tavola Linen
Photographer: Jasmine Wang Photography

titleHollywood Hosts – A fundraiser for Peninsula Youth Theater

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010

I’ve been invited to be one of five tabletop designers for Hollywood Hosts, a fund-raising event that benefits a fantastic non-profit, Peninsula Youth Theater. Each designer creates an unique tablescape as inspired by their favorite movie. With cascading chocolate waterfalls, everlasting gobstoppers and fizzy lifting drinks, Well Rehearsed will capture the incredible, edible world of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

Today I am working on creating some signage for the event. (Yes, I felt like a little glitter is needed). Here’s a sneak peek:


The event is sponsored by Gentry Magazine and will be held Sunday January 31, 2010 at The Cypress Hotel in Cupertino. All are welcome! Click here for ticket information.

A special THANK YOU to all my amazing sponsors for bringing the value of the tablescape to over $5,000. You rock!

Beau-Coup Favors, Brighter Than Air, Marizette Paperie, The Only DJ, Precious & Blooming, Studio Cake, Sugar & Spice Chocolate Catering, Sugar Shack, Wildflower Linens

titleDream Bridal Tour-Jump on Board!

Monday, January 11th, 2010

Wedding planner extraordinaire Kathryn Kalabokes of Dream A Little Dream Events is taking the show on the road and inviting brides to jump on board for the Dream Bridal Tour. Well Rehearsed is one of the many vendors who will be showcasing their services. More info on how to register is below.

The Dream Bridal Tour presented by Dream A Little Dream Events – San Francisco edition is hitting the streets once again on Sunday January 24th. This is set to be a fun filled wedding planning extravaganza!  The day begins at the Dream A Little Dream Events Pacific Heights studio in San Francisco.  From there, the group will be taken by cable car charters to a lavish champagne brunch at a posh SF hotel.  After we are full and ready to take on the world, we will be visiting and meeting with over twelve other vendors in the wedding industry.  You will learn about photography, invitations, spray tans, flowers, linens, beauty, cakes, bridesmaid gowns and much, much more.  The best part of the day is when you get to take home your bag full of goodies and discounts from all of the participating handpicked vendors.  The last tour’s bag was valued at over $3500 in discounts and gifts.

The premise of this tour was to bring the best that this city has to offer to brides that want to learn as much as they can about planning their wedding.  This isn’t a bridal show, the vendors do not a pay a dime to be featured, they are simply great at what they do.  Think of an intimate setting where you can ask all the questions you want to two of the top wedding planners in San Francisco, and walk away from the day with a new found knowledge on all the things you wanted to know, but had no idea who to ask!

For more information, please visit our website at www.dreambridaltours.com or purchase your tickets directly at http://dreambridaltours.eventbrite.com/?discount=vendor using the code word ‘vendor’ to save $10 per ticket.
