Thank you everyone for all your amazing work!

Special Flowers

The Guerra ladies are a fabulous duo and owners of Special Flowers in McAllen, Texas. They are such hard workers and always go above and beyond to make any bride's dreams come true. They work together with the bride to design floral arrangements that perfectly fit the style of every bride. Their work is elegant, creative, and unique!
This wedding cake was designed by Cynthia's Cakes and the base of flowers was created by Special Flowers. This is one of my absolute favorite cakes ever! Photo taken by Anahi Photography.

La Antigua Revilla

Susana, from All Party Rentals, and I checked out a banquet hall called La Antigua Revilla. A beautiful hall which can be divided up into 2 sections. The larger of the two sections can hold up to 350 guests while the smaller one can accommodate around 225 guests, when opened up and used together this ballroom can hold up to 600 guests. It has a beautiful room where the bride and her party can retreat to so they can bustle her dress, touch up her makeup or even just take a moment for themselves. They have great vendor access all along the back side of the hall as well as an ample area for caterer set up.

All Party Rentals as well as Marylu's Flowers & Gifts/Thee Wedding Center provide their services to La Antigua Revilla to create the wedding/event of your dreams.

Wedding Fair Vendors

I was glad to see so many great vendors that I have worked with in the past at the McAllen Wedding Fair. Emilio from Mariachi 7 Leguas represented the entertainment group, unfortunately I didn't see a performance from them this time around (hopefully next time). There were also awesome photographers, Eric Sierra and Flipart Images. Wonderful florists made their presence known, Special Flowers & Gifts; and Cantu's Special Events had some amazing flower arrangements to show off. It is amazing how many great vendors there are here in the Rio Grande Valley...bringing the right combination of vendors together can create the day of your dreams! As a wedding planner and event coordinator I am here to help in any way I can.



I was also able to meet some great new vendors that I have never had the pleasure of working with. Hopefully 2010 will bring me new experiences with these vendors and we can help make a bride's dreams come true! A couple of new vendors that I am hoping to work with soon are PolluxCastroInc they have a background in several different photography styles such as commercial modeling, action sports, architectural photography, and many other styles as well. I can only imagine they must have a great eye when shooting bridal sessions and wedding day coverage. The other photography duo that I hope to work with is Haydon Photography based out of Austin, Texas. If I am correct, Joe Anna Haydon is originally from the Rio Grande Valley and wanted to share her talent with her home town! Again, the Valley is so fortunate to have such talented individuals sharing their passions and talents with us! Hope to work with you all soon!


Have you heard of the Fantastic Four? They have nothing on this next group of vendors the Fantastic Eight! They are under the umbrella of Social Situations a wedding shop in Harlingen, Texas who showcase Rio Grande Valley vendors in all areas of the industry. Showcasing their work at the Wedding Fair this year were Anahi Photography, Five Star Productions, Casa Los Ebanos, Wray & Company Catering by Design, the wedding shop, Puesta Del Sol, Bloomers Flower Shop, and of course my self, Leticia Arriaga Event Coordinator. Social Situations has information on these vendors as well as many other great, local vendors!

Blogging Bells!

Welcome to the blog!
I have been sitting in front of my computer deciding what should go on this blog....think, think, think!

If I could have a wedding of my own year after year (with Eric everytime of course) I would. I have been married for 1 year 9 months now and Eric, my husband, refuses to let me have the "wedding of my dreams" on a regular basis....we figured the best solution to this was to help other brides create their dream weddings instead! With that decided, I began my career in wedding planning...

I hope to be able to provide valuable information for those planning an event, particularly weddings, in the Rio Grande Valley. I thought the best way of doing that is "becoming a bride" myself! I will tour the Valley (McAllen, Harlingen, Brownsville, & South Padre Island) finding the best of the best in venues, florists, caterers, rental companies, photographers, videographers, bakers, etc. I also intend to bring you the trends, not only of the Valley, but the industry as a whole.

I hope you will visit often....especially if you are celebrating a special event! Take a look at my webpage to check out some photos of some recent weddings I've worked on.
