Let's start with the activities for the little girls to particpate. There was a dress-up workshop, a fashion show, and an etiquete expert to show the girls how to have tea properly. Wow! I love it!

Here is the original article from the site:

Demi cups, teddy bears, feather boas? Not at this tea party! There's nothing more fun than taking a favorite theme and giving it a fun twist. And at Josie's Tower Grove Heights home, there's always room for something different. No stranger to beautiful celebrations, Josie is a professional wedding and special events planner, running a successful company from her office in Webster Groves. On her days off, she enjoys spending time with her two wonderful daughters and fabulous husband. When the time came to plan a birthday party for her two daughters, who incidentally have their birthdays one week apart, the creative juices were flowing.

The party theme developed into an adorable girls' tea with monograms and silhouettes, inspired by Josie's newly finished tin ceiling and stunning crystal chandelier. Beautiful scalloped china for this small at-home party was rented, and didn't even have to be washed up afterwards. Silhouettes were used on the invitations, favors, cakes, and gift bags. The invitations were designed on a white doily accented with a pink bow. For variety's sake, monograms were used on unexpected party accoutrements, such as cookie favors and table chairs.

The girls were turning five and three, so favors and gift bags had to be interesting yet age- appropriate. For the older girls, each placesetting had a pink "doodle diary" for guests to take home. The younger girls were given favor bags filled with chocolates and paired up with a large marshmallow lollipop. Each birthday girl had a miniature birthday cake with her own silhouette pressed into the side. The cakes, adorned with polka-dots and topped off with fondant ribbon, were designed to look like birthday presents. The initial letter of each guest's name, made of wood cut-out and covered with pink silk rose petals, was draped over the back of her assigned chair.

Just for fun, an etiquette expert was called to come and teach the girls proper tea etiquette and table manners. Afterwards, the girls put aside their lessons and did what they do best... play pretend, giggle, and have a great time!

To this day I have searched for some of his original prints. If you were to ask me what would be the all-time best gift, it would be to pay off my student loans and gift me a Van der Zee original.

Looking at the pictures, courtesy of Lara Porzak, it seems that an intimate ceremony on the back lawn followed by a succulent meal under a partially enclosed canopy is how the wedding occurred. The evening was lit by candle lit and guests enjoyed a cozy, "at home" feel for the reception. I love the idea of a small guest count. Less than 70 guests is an ideal number to create an comfortable and cozy ambience.

Roselyn Sanchez, Without a Trace star, and actor Eric Winters wed in San Juan, Puerto Rico on November 29, 2008. "The Puerto Rican-born Roselyn wore a princess-style dress with hand-embroidered pearls and diamonds by Venezuelan designer Angel Sanchez, while Eric wore a Calvin Klein suit".

This beautiful couple celebrated with 250 guests in the 4 day long festivities in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico, close to Sánchez’s hometown. The ceremony took place at the Castillo de San Cristòbal a beautiful fort in my personal favorite part of Puerto Rico. So if you are looking for a wedding with a bit of pizzazz then this is definitely one to check out.  The reception was just as hot as the couple and with the help of Milly Centeno of MC Coordinators our of Puerto Rico, the couple created a sexy Latin reception.
