Coquelicot Winery: Los Olivos Wedding and Event Venue

Developed in 1999, the Coquelicot Estate Vineyard lies just south of the historic Mission Santa Ines in the Santa Ynez Valley on California’s Central Coast.  This week, they opened their (90+ year old) barn doors and hosted a launch party with lots of fun event professionals from catering, event design, and florals, to rentals, music, entertainment, transportation, and desserts.  My favorite part of the evening was drinking some delicious wine, tasting all the food, and going on a hayride through the vineyard!  If you were at the event, I probably have a great picture of you…  feel free to check out more images HERE.  I’m looking forward to returning in a couple of weeks for Beth and Joe’s wedding day!  🙂

Lovesome Chocolate Event

The best thing about my job is that I always get to meet new people.  A couple weeks ago, I attended a charity event for Wish Upon a Wedding and met Nicole who is owner and creator of lovesome  (distinctively designed sweets, including chocolates and tea cookies).  Lucky for me, she was in need of some great product pictures of her tasty treats.  Earlier today, I visited her home as she hosted a tasting event.  I was really impressed with the assortment of 20+ chocolates from Sea Salt Blueberry, Crushed Red Pepper and Cherry, and Spicy Pecan and Fig, to Rocky Road, French Lavender Sugar, and Toasted Almond Toffee.   Nicole set up 4 different tablescapes to compliment her chocolates with decore, champagne and wines.  If you’re looking for some great gift ideas or custom wedding favors, you need to check out lovesome!
