Flowers, Flowers, Flowers at the Jones Victorian Estate

Hi!

Remember this picture I previously posted from Denise and Jeff's wedding? We hung her large paper flowers from above. It was magical and so much fun!

Look what else I found!! And they are made right here in the U.S.A.! They are bright and beautiful and there are so many to pick from. You can use them like we did or on the tables, lining a walkway, a special touch to wall decoration, they are so pretty and can go anywhere!!

You can find them at www.flowercrafts.homestead.com! There are so many and so beautiful. It's a magical and enjoyable way to bring more pop to your wedding. Think about it! It's worth a visit!

Love,

Michelle

Freshest Air in Orange County is at the Jones Victorian Estate!

Hi!

Here at the Jones Victorian Estate, we have the freshest air in Orange County. Why do I say that? It's easy! We have lots and lots and lots of trees!!!

Our front and back courtyards are surrounded by big, beautiful, lush trees casting filtered light on all of our events. Our on site parking lot is surrounded with a mixture of seasoned trees and palm trees. Even as one enters the property, the drive is a magical journey under a canopy of flowers and trees.

Make an appointment today and see for yourself the difference! We look forward to seeing you soon!!!

Smiles and Love!

Your Style! Help when you need it!

Hi!

What is your style? The magazines are asking! The Bridal shops are asking! Your friends and family are asking! There are a myriad of answers but sometimes that simple question will send Brides panicking.

What is the solution? Easy! If you can't pin point your style, it will evolve! How, you ask?

It's what you like best. It's what makes you feel good. It's what puts a smile on your face when you think of it. It can be a lot of different things or just one.

My job is to help you find that answer and enjoy the process. Maybe you don't want a home-spun feel. Maybe you don't like to "make" things. Maybe you like simple lines and simple designs. Maybe you love all the ideas you see but don't know how to go about getting it or finding it.

To begin with, I ask all my Brides to make their planning binder. (I would rather than put one together instead of purchasing an organizer because it is so much less stressful) With the different labels for the different aspects of the Wedding, each Bride can freely collect everything that they enjoy or attracted to without sensor. Let me repeat that... without sensor. It's fun! Flower pictures, cake pictures, color wheels or samples, dining room set ups, gardening photos, lipstick color, it doesn't matter... all of it. Any of it.

When we get together, we bring out all the pictures and that's when the magic begins. Your style emerges! I'm there to help pull it all together and if you like, add special touches to make it even better... to make it you. Be Bold.

Let's plan together~

Love,

Michelle Gregory

Signs! It's an enjoyable touch and a great detail!

Hi!

How about adding a sign to your Wedding and Reception decoration? It's fun and it's a wonderful way to greet your guests!! Besides, what a beautiful accent for your new home!!~!

Whether you are using a sign to welcome yours guests with a fresh, white, hand painted sign accented with flowers and knobs...
Or a hand painted sign that says "Wedding" with vintage fabric and fun cut outs....
Or a hand painted Welcome sign suspended from a shepherd's hook at the guest book table.....
Or a chalkboard sign that gives information....
Or a sign to designate your party from another...
Or a vintage sign that can add fun and humor...
Or a sign that you've painted that has a special quote, it doesn't matter. It's up to you! What would you like? Signs are perfect for a host of information and all at a price anyone can afford. You can use an old door, an old piece of wood, a couple of blanks of wood, a new cabinet door or a new piece of wood cut in all sorts of shapes. There are signs that was professionally made all over the Internet. Find the one that speaks to you or make one yourself. Add old, crystal door knobs, or lace or fabric, to your sign. Paint your sign white. Paint them black. There is no wrong way, it's right if you like them.

Be Bold, it's fun!

Love,

Michelle

"Fabulous Coordinator"... Thank you!!

Michelle Gregory - the Jones Victorian Estate

Wedding Coordinator/Designer

"To the most amazing Michelle,

It has been nearly a month now and I still can not believe how much of a success you made my wedding. YOU ARE AN AMAZING PERSON! My mom and I may have argued about useless wedding planning but she was so right to convince me to meet you. If you thought we bickered over flowers incessantly, you should have see her to try to convince me to meet you! Our first meeting/session I just was overcome with a wave of comfort and happiness that you would be the perfect fit for the planning of the wedding. Thank you, thank you, thank you for everything you have done: the hospitality at your house, vendor recommendations, meeting with the Church in San Gabriel, phone calls, borrowing of the Shinoda card, last minute/late night meetings, building of a timeline, all your hard work on the Friday before and most importantly just the role you played the day of. There are no amount of "thank you"s that can come out of my mouth to express how I feel. I know you and my mom have been in some contact but we still need to meet up next week to wrap up some loose ends.

Chris and I are forever grateful for all that you have done for us. Thank you for everything and of your tireless efforts you put in. It was extremely helpful having you there. You took a lot of pressure and stress off everyone and we are forever indebted to you for that! You are an incredible human being, a fabulous coordinator and genuine friend to all of us.

With love and appreciation,

Tiffany and Chris Garbis"
