Every year at about this time, a beautiful horse-drawn carriage pulls up to my home to take me and hubby Steve to a very enchanted ball for the evening.... (Okay, so I admit that we really drive there in our used Toyota, but stick with me here and hop in our our backseat along with us because I guarantee you're gonna love this magical evening we're going to spend together at this spectacular ball!) ... 
Our carriage has just arrived at the gorgeous Loews Coronado Bay Resort in sunny Coronado Island, CA. (And the valet is now parking our carriage...er, I mean used Toyota. :)
As we enter the grand lobby, we can see the San Diego Bay in the distance, and we're about to celebrate the San Diego Style Weddings magazine annual gala/publishing party to kick off their 2009-2010 magazine and resource guide. I was hired to write six feature articles for this publication and I interviewed many wedding resource experts this year, so I'm excited to see how the newest issue turned out! Ah, the suspense!!
Let's mingle under the lanterns as the sun sets slowly in the distance...
Our theme for the night is sailing, so let's sail away while...
Slowly, the sun sets over the calm waters of the San Diego Bay...
As we toast the night away under twinkling lights...
And the moon peeks out...
And the lights go down...
And the flowers profusely bloom!
Let's lounge awhile...
And feast on scrumptious food designed and made by San Diego's premier wedding caterers...
Did I mention scrumptious food yet??!!...
I think I did!
Our nautical night continues...
As we enjoy the spread...
For "nautical nuptials" ...
And don't forget to try that delectable dessert table!
Every year we vote for the magazine cover we like best. Which one is your favorite?
Do you like this one as much as I do since I'm a flower junkie? :)
It's time to dance the night away....and when the clock strikes midnight...you know what that means....Cinderella's carriage awaits! (Um, meaning the valet will bring back our used Toyota!) I hope you had fun joining me and hubby Steve at this year's magazine annual publishing gala! If you're not quite ready to go home, you can step back in time and attend the 2007 event and the 2008 event, both of which were equally as magical!
A big thanks to magazine owner Dena Malasek for inviting us to yet another beautiful soiree!'Til Next Time!
Kathryn :)
