We just had my engagement party over the weekend and she totally rocked it! For the wedding planning Beth gave me a little checklist and Ive basically been marking everything off as I go. Ive been slowly working on my invitations over the past several months and they should be done this week. Since Im pretty busy with my clients, I am relying heavily on my maid of honor, my sister Alyssa, to help me scope out ideas for accessories, groomsmens suits, and other planning details and Im trying not to sweat the small stuff. To make things easier, Im going with a palette or colors, rather than only 2, so that if anything (such as flowers, linens, etc.) is off by a shade or two it will not make a difference. My general preference with regard to my wedding, as well as my work, is that I prefer for things to go but not to match exactly. Its more interesting that way, in my opinion!<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>I dont feel stressed about the wedding day at all I guess thats a perk of being in the industry. I know all my vendors intimately since I work with them all the time, and I trust them 100%.<\/i><i>&rdquo; <\/i><\/p>\n<p> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/img\/whatjunebugloves\/june2010\/los-angeles-engagement-photos-laura-hooper-calligraphy-steve-steinhardt-3.jpg\" mce_src=\"http:\/\/junebugweddings.com\/img\/whatjunebugloves\/june2010\/los-angeles-engagement-photos-laura-hooper-calligraphy-steve-steinhardt-3.jpg\" alt=\"engagement photos of wedding invitation designer and calligrapher Laura Hooper shot near Griffith Observatory in the Hollywood Hills of Los Angeles, photos by Steve Steinhardt\" title=\"engagement photos of wedding invitation designer and calligrapher Laura Hooper shot near Griffith Observatory in the Hollywood Hills of Los Angeles, photos by Steve Steinhardt\" border=\"0\"><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/img\/whatjunebugloves\/june2010\/los-angeles-engagement-photos-laura-hooper-calligraphy-steve-steinhardt-4.jpg\" mce_src=\"http:\/\/junebugweddings.com\/img\/whatjunebugloves\/june2010\/los-angeles-engagement-photos-laura-hooper-calligraphy-steve-steinhardt-4.jpg\" alt=\"engagement photos of wedding invitation designer and calligrapher Laura Hooper shot near Griffith Observatory in the Hollywood Hills of Los Angeles, photos by Steve Steinhardt\" title=\"engagement photos of wedding invitation designer and calligrapher Laura Hooper shot near Griffith Observatory in the Hollywood Hills of Los Angeles, photos by Steve Steinhardt\" border=\"0\"><\/p>\n<p>Thank you Laura and Jeremy!
