Beautiful and Beautiful

With the over emphasis on stick-thin figures thanks to silly celebs like lindsay, nicole and the likes, girls may think that stick-thin = beautiful. Here are some of Hollywood's gorgeous babes who embrace their healthy body weight and glow with such elegance and beauty.



Drew Barrymore - Don't you just love her cutesy face and punkish attitude. Her curvy body made 1/3 of charlie's angels. Gorgeous, confident and totally kick ass!






Love Audrina, she's so down to earth even though she starred on the hills. Well toned bronzed body and good friend lauren shows that a healthy body is a sexy one.












Hillary Duff slimmed down and lost her baby fat to unveil the lady under her skin. Here, she glows with radiance and her healthy slim physique gets an A*






Maria Sharapova
, tennis Queen and Victoria Secret Model admits to munching on mini-mars bars and Subway sandwiches. Her constant trainings and healthy diet gives her the muscles and stamina to hit winning shots.






Heidi Klum
is the supermodel famous for bouncing back easily to her model-physique after giving birth to her baby boy. What people don't know is that she takes great care into eating healthily and during her pregnancy on Project Runway, she drank apple cider vinegar in a champagne glass and *clinked* with the designers.







Tyra banks
has never looked down on those who are a curvier then the typical model type. She even took on board plus-sized models for her reality show America's Next Top Model. Upon transiting into her late 30s, tyra banks has gained some weight but she still looks just as gorgeous, with a complexion of love.





Beyonce, the reigning queen of R&B, not quite what you call a dancer's body. Yet she dances with utmost passion and style. Shake that booty girl!





Arrangements for the wedding

Becky and Leo were married on March 20th at the Edgewood Country Club in Churchill. Who would have thought they would have 70 degree, perfectly sunny weather in mid March? What a gorgeous day!

Becky and Leo had an Enchanted Forest theme which turned out so beautiful in the club ballroom. I loved the colors of the bouquets against the bridesmaids' navy dresses.

Do you know how excited I got when Becky asked me to decorate the chandeliers? FUN bride!

They were married in the center of the ballroom under our chuppah built out of branches, organza, hanging vases and crystals.

One of the best parts about having a ceremony and reception in the same place is getting to reuse everything! Those trees, lanterns and flowers down the aisle? Yes, those are the centerpieces. We were able to transform the room while the guests were sipping on cocktails in the other room.







What a great couple and fun wedding!

Recipe for an event like this:

Handles the bride and the wedding day in the roses


What happens when you combine 2 amazing photographers, 4 gorgeous models, a make up artist, a masseuse, four bouquets and a whole lot of snow?
How about a photo shoot with Aly and Derrick from  How fun are these shots?! I'm so glad they asked me to be a part of this.


I have been wanting to make a bouquet out of wood and pods for awhile now, but it is such a hard concept to describe to brides. This was the perfect opportunity to showcase the bouquet that never dies. (And isn't tacky silk flowers!)



For this bride, I wanted to stay simple and bold. There is nothing more bold than a grouping of red anemones. I'm a big fan of all off the ruffles, gathers and pleats that are popping up in the fashion world. Since the bouquet was all one color, I took this as an opportunity to take the bouquet wrap to the next level.




This bride carried our romantic spring garden bouquet of anemones, poppies, garden roses, Berzelius berries, jasmine, dusty miller, parrot tulips, scabies pods, grape hyacinth and homunculus.







This model carried a purple bouquet of anemones, grape hyacinth, sweet pea, hydrangea and Vanda orchids.










Here is a centerpiece we made for Studio Bash in the style of the romantic spring garden bouquet.
