2010 Insprirations and Levels of Luxury
Inspirations for 2010 were abounding. I found myself obsessing on Artsy Bohemian Luxe influences for Beau & Ashbury, the Art of Japanese paper folding as seen in Origami, Presley & Mimi, the charming, post war fashions of the 50's for January, Betty & June, and the lure of Zen-like simplicity and calm in Kai & Ballet.

On Saturday February 6th local pastry artist Stephanie Masquelier, founder of Flours, will be hosting a cake tasting in our San Francisco salon.
Stephanie’s cakes are delicious, and beautifully executed. We think her original flavors, like "Nutty"- Maple & Walnut and " Tropical" - Pineapple & Coconut are irresistible, and she can customize a flavor to satisfy your wedding day sweet tooth.
Stop by to meet Stephanie, and enjoy a confectionery treat or two!

Do you want your look to be sophisticated, classic chic, 1940's retro era, modern elegance or natural beauty? Collecting ideas from bridal and fashion magazines will be key for your makeup and hairstylist when creating your desired beauty look for your trial run. Stay away from styles that are too trendy as these can appear to be dated looking, 10 years from now on the pages of your beautiful wedding album.
