A few months ago I asked Cheryl Perdue Sage of Accents by Sage to create for a a bold bouquet for a photo shoot. I wanted it it be non-traditional and very true the season of fall which we were shooting in. Cheryl came back with a tight arrangement of deep dark reds and brunt orange highlights, very seasonal, very edgy and very chic. I must report that we worked really hard that day and when the night was over the bouquet looked just as good as when it came in the night before. I’m looking forward to posting Accents by Sage interview on the Sacramento Chic website, it should be a blast.

Thank you Cheryl for lending your talent to this venture which became the image for my ad campaign in Sacramento Bride and Groom.

CNN reports that 34% of Americans think an act of terrorism is likely in the US over the next few weeks. This might explain why I’m tossing in bed tonight? God Bless the families, NYC, America and the beautiful Men and Women of our military that allow me to sleep in peace while they protect my home and country.

Swopmeet last night at the Lion Gate Hotel was a blast; I heard over 195 vendors attended, fantastic! I met with friends that I haven’t seen in a while like Lora Ward from A Day to Remember, and I finally got to meet Ryan Douglas , which will soon be featured on Sacramento Chic. It was a great night to have a outside event and the Lions Hotel is such an elegant place to have an event. As I walked around the grounds I couldn’t help but feel like I was back on Miami beach, in fact the night was humid which is quite rare here. I look forward to the next event at Arden Hills where The Dream Wedding Show will be throwing a 10 year bash celebration.

I read somewhere that one’s net worth can be best measured by the size of their network. I decided that it was time for me to share my wealth of friends by creating my own network. Welcome to Sacramento Chic where I interview wedding vendors and post their response on-line so Brides and Grooms can get to know them a little bit before they actually meet. Webster dictionary defines Chic as “Smart Elegance and Sophistication…” and my aim is to personally hand select and highlight “Sacramento’s Chic” Wedding Vendors.
