Stacy McCain Event Planning

Our friend Stacy McCain, an event planner based in San Francisco, just pinged us to let her know about her wonderful new website!  It's so great to see Stacy's fresh, fabulous work all in one place! We especially love this Mexican fiesta she created - love the colors and the mini maracas!

These Mexican paper flowers are gorgeous, too - find similar ones here.

Love this table name and the beautiful, understated table settings...

So many lovely, rustic touches!

Adorable cake and candy bar...

Stacy does everything from weddings to anniversary parties and takes her inspiration from a range of influences, including her international travels.  Speaking of which, the anniversary party above was inspired by the couple's international travels over their 40 years of marriage (so sweet!) -- love the gorgeous Asian details.

She also is very friendly to same-sex couples - like this ultra-modern wedding she created for Mike and Jeff at the San Jose Museum of Art. Stacy's eye for detail is simply wonderful, and she was a wonderful, energetic personality to boot!

Congratulations, Stacy! Check out more of her work here.

San Francisco Wedding Fair

Last week we had the pleasure participating in the annual San Francisco Wedding Fair. It was a fabulous event, with delicious food catered by the Four Seasons and a wonderful group of wedding vendors. Above, some of our favorite people: Stacy McCain of Stacy McCain Event Planning, Lisa Neighbors of Blonde Tulip Photography, and Stephanie Watanabe of Atelier Joya.

Good friend and fellow designer Stacy Pancake and her assistant Nicole debuted Stacy's beautiful new, minimalist and gorgeous letterpress wedding invitation collection.

The effervescent Mary Jo Bowling, Editor-in-Chief of the new San Francisco Bride's magazine was there celebrating their inaugural issue!

Floramor Studios  create a series of over-the-top floral displays representing different decades in history (this one is from the 1900's). Love the ostrich feathers!

Event planner Kathy Goodman of Well Rehearsed created a sunny display featuring a yellow parasol and edible cupcake pops!

Showcasing their ultra-modern style was Hartmann Studios furniture rental.

Friend and collaborator Michele Papineau displayed had her impeccable handwriting on display!

And of course, we were there showcasing our wedding invitations, including new designs by Joel Dewberry and EIEIO (stay tuned for more details!).  It was a fun day, and a great resource for Bay Area brides! See everyone again next year!
