Easter Specials Are In!

Greetings my faithful readers!

We would like to take this time to wish everyone a HAPPY EASTER! Spring is finally here, and with it, the opportunity to celebrate in numerous ways!



First just a tad bit of some Easter history. Easter is originally a Pagan festival, in honor of Eastre, the goddess of Spring, but today it is celebrated by Christians, honoring the resurrection of Jesus Christ, also marking the forty day period of Lent.

Now, on to the celebrating...what better than with some perfect treats! We have some cute and fun sweet treats, great for the kiddos and the kiddos at heart. We have some great flower arrangements, perfect for your Easter decor.

Be sure to celebrate by having a intimate lunch or a fabulous picnic with family and friends. Brighten and freshen up the home with Tulips and Lilies. Decorate your home with fun pastel colors such as lime greens, bright pinks and pale yellows. Be sure to have those chocolate eggs handy in every room! Decorate those eggs with the kiddos and partake in the Easter Egg hunt! Most importantly, have fun!



Happy Easter everyone. Don't forget you can place your orders by emailing us at orders@daytoremember.net or by calling our office.

Beautiful Youth + Birthday = Vicky (the beautiful Quinceañera)

As many of you will remember, we were recently holding a casting call for Quinceañeras and we would like to take this time to thank all our other Quinceañeras who participated in our search. It was a difficult decision, but in the end we had to pick just one....and the winner was Vicky!



When Vicky's sister, Doris, first contacted us, it was quite obvious that Vicky came from a very loving and close-knit family. Doris talked about how excited she was for her baby sister to finally have her Quinceañera. Vicky met all of our requirements, but what really won us over was not just her physical beauty, but her wonderful personality. Vicky exuded not just grace and sweetness, but her modesty and maturity were very impressive indeed.

Below are just a few pictures of Vicky's special day. Enjoy!

It was such a beautifully choreographed dance.



Taking a moment to pose for the camera with her parents...Doris and Hector.



Here, Vicky is dancing "el baile de la Ultima Muñeca", dance of the last doll, with her dad.

Jennifer + James, Part I

Photo Credit: A Day To Remember

Who says Friday the 13th is bad luck? If this day is slated for bad luck, this was most certainly not the case for Jennifer and James, as they celebrated their nuptials this past Friday, March 13th at the beautiful Paraiso Maravilla. The evening couldn't have been more romantic, with candles lit all over the place, the inspirations sounds of a fabulous gospel and the romantic ambiance of a soft rain. Many thanks to the staff of Paraiso Maravilla for being so accommodating! Below are just a few preliminary pictures. Enjoy!

The wedding cake, a rich and moist Red Velvet cake, filled with cream cheese icing and covered in a chocolate whipped icing.
