Put it on a Pedestal Please!

There are a few guilty pleasures that we have here at Bliss*. One is collecting vintage camera's and the other is displaying them on adorable cake stands. Clara French just took our obsession to the next level!
Ceramicist Micaela has been working in clay for over 19 years and her passion for pottery is evident in the detail of each design. But the even more uber-cool thing about Clara French is that you can RENT these lovely darlings in addition to purchasing them! How fabulous for a reception or baby shower!? And if that's not enough, they offer tableware as well. Another great gift idea for your registry or for your gal pals getting hitched.

Marni and Eric's wedding just plain rocked!

Crafted by designer Michael Willms and gorgeously photographed (look at these amazing photos!) by uber-talented Los Angeles photographer Susan Bordelon this wedding was non-stop laughter and emotion the whole day through.

Both Marni & Eric are no strangers to the camera (she's an actress, he's a documentary director whose film Word Wars we love) so together they became a super force which included hours up on hours of great footage.

Since candid with lots of natural sound bytes was Marni & Erics vibe, we shot their wedding on video using just a few rolls of reversal Super 8mm. This is the opening trailer for their feature-length film. Enjoy!

Dreamy Dress Boutique

Couture. Elegant and Intimate.
Gabrielle's is all this and so much more. Whether you've dreamed of your wedding dress since you were a little girl, or found yourself suddenly engaged and thought "Oh crap! Where am I gonna to get a killer dress!?" there's a great chance Gabrielle's will have what you're looking for.

Shopping for a wedding dress can be overwhelming and it's just as much about the experience of 'finding the right investment fit' as it is about the dress itself. Here you will not find a herd of zilla's and their mom's sitting around critiquing and sampling. This is a one-on-one experience between you and Gabrielle. The shop is appointment only and located in the charming and quaint downtown of Los Gatos, Ca. So grab mom and the girls, and call it a shopping day!
She carries a variety of designers like Anne Barge, Melissa Sweet, Junko Yoshioka, Ulla Maija, La Sposa, Renella De Fina and Vera Wang as well as others.
Truly, we cannot sing her praises enough. If you want that magical and personalized "Bridal" experience, this is the place for you.
