Jaymie Shoda gives budget tips at The Wedding Cafe Workshop




Weddings By Grace and Mona participated in the Wedding Cafe Wednesday night Workshop on August 12, 2009. At this event we were fortunate to have Shilhi Seibel, owner and designer of the beautiful passion roots floral and event design services. Jen Tanabe, from 1013 (formerly known as Lewis & Montgomery) helped to design the WGM sign seen hanging above the flowers.

The WGM team, Jaymie Shoda, Mona Hirata, with Shilhi Seibel, our grand floral designer, WGM intern Leslie Fujita, and team member Jen Ramsey. The beautiful dark purple linen was courtesy of Naomi Lee at Les Saison, and the pipe and drape with the white linen behind the table is courtesy of Randy Gillespie at Royal Party Rentals (formerly known as A'a Party Rentals) Thanks to Kris Labang of On 3 Photography for taking this picture for us!


Bryson Dang, co-owner of Wedding Cafe with wife Tanna Dang, was ready to get in on the "modeling" action with a wonderful black tux from Black Tie Affair.


A very nervous, but well prepared, Jaymie stands and waits for her turn to speak to the packed audience of over 150 people.


Jaymie took the lead in preparing tips and suggestions for brides and grooms as they start to prepare a budget.


As you can see, this was another successfully attended workshop so the room was packed with brides and grooms- helping Jaymie to feel even more nervous! But she did a beautiful job of speaking and offering facts and figures to help all the couples start determining how much they want to spend (and can actually afford!) on their dream weddings.
Kudos to Jaymie!!
