Trend Alert: Flipbooks!!!  

Posted by Villa RInata

We LOVE the idea of these new flipbooks, you can use them as save-the-dates, favors, thank you cards, and more... This interactive mobile studio takes a video of you or your guests over a ten second period then breaks them up into a series of still frames. These photos are then printed out, cut and bound in a cover specifically created for your event all in less then 90 seconds. The photo studio is also equipped with costume closet with props and signs that let your guests get as creative as possible. The flipbooks also become a point of conversation and interaction as your guests begin to share each of their own photo creations. The photo booth can print out between 40 and 50 books an hour which allows for all of your guests to participate. Check out ILOVEFLIPBOOKS.COM to see more information, videos, and flipbook studios in your area!!


Villa Rinata: The Featured Vendor of Weddings in Houston Magazine!!

Featured Vendor: Villa Rinata

Sharon Anderson, general manager
Villa Rinata


If wedding experience is important to you, then Sharon Anderson is your gal, Houston bride. The general manager of Houston's magnificent Villa Rinata has been in the wedding business for more than 25 years, and has had a hand, by her count, in "thousands of weddings."

With a passion for weddings like Anderson's, it's no surprise the catering expert jumped on the chance to take over (not to mention beautifully renovate, and restore to integrity and financial stability) the former Bella Terraza.

Anderson says the venue's finest features are its Mediterranean grandeur and beautiful neutral palette: "Cream walls, mahogany wood throughout, you're not competing with crazy carpets or draperies-any flower, any lighting, any element of color you bring looks really beautiful in here." Of course, there's also sumptuous food, courtesy City View Catering, Villa Rinata's parent company and in-house catering service.

All this, and personalized service from a former Ritz-Carlton and St. Regis catering manager who says of weddings, "I love being part of the union of families-it makes me feel wonderful." What more could a bride want?
