Felicidades, Feliz año Nuevo and Welcome to the Forum!!

Well, here it is - the photos from the MarToca Beach Garden Grand Opening in Bucerias! When Jimmy (the owner and all-around cool guy!) asked us to participate we were hesitant - mostly because we are a small "mom and pop" (or rather, brother/sister-in-law!) operation and don't have oodles of money to spend on such fun opportunities! But Jimmy found a way to help us with costs and we had such a great time - and such an amazing venue! Then Memo from Charme (who, as most of you know who follow the blog!) agreed to decorate a cake for us and to donate yummy, nummy pastries to accent the decor space and then Jimmy asked us to decorate a Margarita area just for him AND, then, Michael Amici - an awesome new photographer in-town and all-around incredible person (also he's very good at stringing orchids!!) - said he would also take some pictures for us (all pictures donated by him!! thank you Michael!) AND our flower vendor, Juan Carlos from GDL said he would donate some of the flowers .... well, anyway, kismet was in the air! Mishka Designs & Charme.... So, this was "our" area ... Omar and I wanted something that would represent "us" as well as showcase Memo's incredible pastries ... I wanted something beachy, yet elegant - to really accentuate the MarToca space but in a graceful, airy sortof way ... so we decided on white dendrobium orchids, pink cymbidium orchids and strung crystals, along with the crystal chandelier we had originally designed for Britt but just done a little differently would be amazing up-top. Then we had our entranceway with some larger crystals and strung orchids to greet guests as they entered. We really did want to showcase Memo's work, so we placed pretty pink chiffon cocktail tables, accentuated with black ribbon in the middle of the area and round hand-painted batik pillows and our logo in swarovski crystals with a white lounge for guests to sit back and enjoy the amazing sunset! And, of course, you have to have floating lanterns in that amazing pool! If I was designing this for a wedding, this would probably be the dance/cake area and we would add a few more candles to really give it a great romantic glow.

Jimmy had seen the rose balls we did for Greg & Panida's wedding as well as the lamps - so he knew he wanted those for sure - the rest he left to us! It took me a bit to figure out the angle I was going to take this little area but, once I saw this amazing grey chiffon, I knew! We did 10 rose balls (that's close to 1,000 roses!) with crystals and 20 hand-painted glass candles as well as accent pillows for this very chic upscale Margaritaville ... Just one of those spaces that looked amazing during the day and gave you a cozy, warm feel at night! IMAGE MUST BE SEEN ON BLOG - OVER ALLOTMENT FOR FORUM! The People.... It's rare we ever have time to take photos at an event - but this was a fun event, not really a working event, so we were able to get a few pictures in .... this next photo is Memo and his wife Lucy (charme) - AND this picture was taken by me, not by any pro. Next up, we have a fun group shot .... Omar and I with Memo from Charme and our good friends Tamara and Patti from Incredible Weddings. IMAGE MUST BE SEEN ON BLOG - OVER ALLOTMENT FOR FORUM! We were fortunate enough to have Nikki & Roland, our fun, sweet couple whose December 5th wedding we were lucky enough to coordinate/design, attend the cocktail! And, lastly, I couldn't resist putting-in this picture - I just love it! Me and Tamara (Incredible Weddings) .... and now you know .... I am a Corona girl. IMAGE MUST BE SEEN ON BLOG - OVER ALLOTMENT FOR FORUM! Fun Fun aside, MarToca really is an amazing place, if you want something that's beachside, beautiful and amazing but weren't really looking to have your event at a villa! Two thumbs up!

A big shout out goes to Consuelo who said "I do" last Saturday, December 19th in Cancun! The important note to her with her maracas was that they were red with white lettering! We decided to also surprise her with a calla lily that she'd wanted but was a little out of budget . Unfortunately, seems like a few maracas got broken in transit - booo to our shipping carrier!! Here are the maracas: Since I still have to wait for Nikki & Roland's photos until after Christmas (boo! ), and I have some great photos back from the MarToca event guess what's coming-up? You guessed it! :)

It was a fun-filled evening last Thursday with all sorts of goodies for brides .... free food (De Santos and Plush Catering!), free drinks, tequila tastings, yummy desserts (Charme and Los Chatos), great music (Enlace) and the list goes on and on!! While I work away on Nikki & Roland's blog I thought I would share a sneak peek video of MarToca Grand Opening over at From the Inside Out (FB - oh yeah! .

A big shout out to Valerie who was married December 7 in the Riviera Maya. Valerie loved the white tiger lillies we did for Britt way back when, but she had a unique twist to her maracas - she wanted to utilize them as her bridesmaid's bouquets and we can't wait to see if she did and how it looked! As always, Omar rocks the design . We just got the pictures back from Nikki & Roland's wedding AND yesterday was the grand opening for Martoca where we did a couple of designs to showcase our work as well - so pictures and videos will be forthcoming .
