There are a lot of new things happening here at Catrina Maria Designs. We just opened up our new space with Garden of Weedon and Jenn Bartell, we nixed the name Arcularius Events in favor of something slightly easier to pronounce and remember, and we just completed our shiny new website! Whew, we’ve been busy! We are just lovin’ our new site and we hope you do too – there are lots of galleries to check out and information on “Green with Envy," our new focus on green wedding planning. So, take a look at our new site and let us know if you think it’s as fabulous as we do!
Also, please take a look at our new blog - we're going to stop using this one pretty soon so make sure to bookmark the new one!

Grand Opening Recap
We had such a great time at the grand opening parties for our new studio space in downtown Sacramento! We celebrated on Thursday night and on Second Saturday with great food from Tres Hermanas (get it? tres hermanas...three sisters), delicious homemade sangria, and lots of fabulous company!! We were so happy that so many people came to check out our new space and celebrate with us – check out all of our photos from the events below.

Grand Opening Celebration
This Thursday the three sisters here at Arcularius Events will be busy celebrating the grand opening of our new studio space in downtown Sacramento. We're sharing the space with Garden of Weedon Boutique Floral Design and Instruction and Jenn Bartell Photography and Design, which means our new space will practically be wedding planning heaven! Moreover, Arcularius Events is undergoing a name change and will soon become Catrina Maria Event Planning & Design. What better way to celebrate a new space and a new name than with a party? The studio is at 2418 K Street in Sacramento, so feel free to stop by anytime between 5 and 10 PM to check out our new digs. For those who can't make it on Thursday our doors will be open for Second Saturday as well...that means there's no excuse not to come!!
We hope to see you all there!!!
-Catrina, Marianna, and Mairead

The Knot Networking Bash, SF
The Knot: what bride-to-be doesn't love it? We totally love the Knot, too, and were ridiculously excited when we were picked as one of The Knot's 2010 Best of Weddings vendors. Besides all the warm fuzzies that we got from receiving this award, we also got to attend the 2010 Knot Networking Bash in what may be San Francisco's coolest venue, the California Academy of Sciences. We got to meet tons of wedding professionals from Northern California and learn all about what The Knot is up to, all while surrounded by the Academy's gorgeous exhibits. It was definitely a party to remember - check out all our pics from the event below!
The Academy was given a modern nightclub feel with chic lounge areas scattered around the building
We fell in love with the earthy centerpieces, which included lots of succulents and biodegradable pots, and which perfectly complemented the safari feel of the decorations
BBC did a fantastic job catering the event, offering fun specialty cocktails, delicious fresh finger food, and yummy cupcakes
All in all we had a wonderful time, met great people, and fell in love with The Knot even more! Thanks again to all who nominated us for the 2010 Knot Best of Weddings!
