ABC Annual Conference Recap, Day 5: Sasha Souza

Celebrity wedding planner, Sasha Souza, was one of this year's key note speakers and was absolutely wonderful! She explained her process from design to reality. Of course much of what she had to say, won't be of interest to you, although I ate it up and am so excited to put many of her ideas into practice for my brides. So instead of boring you with business ideas, etc, I thought I'd share a few photos, and give you an idea of her style which will hopefully be inspirational for you!

Sasha's signature style revolves around color. You'll rarely see a wedding by her that is mostly whites and neutrals. She is a genius at mixing colors in everything from the linens to the flowers to the chairs and furniture. And the results are magnificent...
Her cut-out photo booth was seen EVERYWHERE in the world of wedding blogs over the past year. And you can see why...
It's fabulous!

My favorite of her signature designs is the long table absolutely covered in floral designs and candle light. She creates these spaces in ruin-like spaces throughout Northern California and creates a draped ceiling using beautiful gauzy fabric and gorgeous chandeliers...

In addition to being a genius with design and a lovely person, Sasha has a heart of gold. She is the president of the Wish Upon a Wedding foundation.
