Sterling Buzz: Hello from Jocelyn, Sterling's newest blogger!

--> Hello everyone! My name is Jocelyn Garrity and I have worked with Sterling Engagements since October 2010. I began working events with Sterling as an intern and worked myself up to production assistant and now I've started the year off officially as a staff team member. Since I initially began working onsite at events, I’m very excited to also be working in the office. One of the many things that I will be contributing to the Sterling blog and team is sharing my fashion sense, knowledge, and styling experience with you all!

I have been into fashion since I first was given the chance to dress myself when I was three. The last few years I have juggled finishing school, working weddings, and being a stylist. I have assisted many celebrity stylists with commercials, red carpet, editorial shoots, and anything else you can imagine. I have worked with the best of the best when it comes to celebrity stylists. Other than assisting, I am also a personal makeover stylist. Which means I go through my clients wardrobe and help them get rid of the bad and learn how to absolutely rock all of the clothes that they have! I am huge on flattering your body type, so that is always the number one goal. And if desired, I love going shopping and helping to add to or recreate an entire new wardrobe. I also have my own fashion blog, The Fashion One.

Here are some behind the scenes photos from a shoot I styled last week:

I did this photoshoot with Anjelah  Johnson for her website:

This is an example of a personal makeover I recently did:

I have been working weddings for a few years and I cannot express how much fun it is! I love the energy and even stress of the day. I think it is beautiful that we get to participate in creating one of the most beautiful days in someone’s life. It is such a meaningful day for each couple, and thus a meaningful job.

I am extremely excited about the opportunity to merge my passions, weddings and fashion. I will be covering all outfits you can imagine needing from the moment you get that gorgeous ring on your finger to the moment you say ‘I do.’ Don’t worry gentleman, I will make sure you know exactly how to look as dapper as possible. And lets not forget the bridal party!

If you have any questions or requests, feel free to email me at Jocelyn@sterlingengagements.com. I want to make sure you walk into every party and especially the big day as confident in your beautiful self as possible. Look for my first post in the next week!

Sterling Buzz: Hello from Star, Sterling's Newest Team Member!

Hello All!  My name is Star Hansen and I am very excited to join Sterling Engagements as the newest member of the team.  I’ll be assisting both in the office and onsite for events.  I look forward to working with you and sharing my inspiration the blog.  As the newest contributor to the Sterling blog, I thought I'd share a little bit about myself with each of you.  I look forward to many more posts to come, but for now, here's a little about me!  

I’m a born and raised southern California girl and currently live in Thousand Oaks with my husband, Trevor.  We are expecting our first child in May and couldn't be more excited!  I have a background in wedding coordinating and design, project management and have led various corporate events.  I love baking, cooking, and crafting.  I am addicted to cooking shows and subscribe to more food magazines than I care to admit to.  Experimenting with new recipes is one of my favorite things to do!

I've always enjoyed social events, entertaining and weddings in particular.  Growing up, I collected bridal magazines and wedding inspirations in anticipation for my future wedding.  My husband and I married in July 2008 at Rancho Chiquita in Malibu.  I planned everything myself and loved every minute of it!  That is when my passion for weddings really blossomed.  Since then I have assisted in planning and coordinating weddings for family, friends and friends-of-friends.  

My favorite aspect of a wedding is the details.  I believe weddings where unique details are incorporated make for the most memorable events. An avid crafter, I enjoy seeking out and trying DIY décor projects, many of which I have shared with brides I’ve worked with.  I cannot wait to share with you my wedding inspirations, DIY projects, and recipes.

Today, I thought it would be fun to share with you a few photos from my wedding day :)

I love all things wedding and am super excited to be joining Alex and the Sterling Engagements team.  Feel free to email me (star@sterlingengagements.com) should you be interested in contacting me.  I'm very excited for my first official post, which will be coming soon.   Be sure to keep an eye out for it and comment to let me know what you think and what you’d like to see in the future!

Thank you for your support and continuing to read our posts. In 2010, look forward to some exciting new inspiration, subjects and advice.

Happy Day!

And the Blogging Begins!

Ok so here we go! The time has come and I can't tell you how absolutely excited I am to start blogging. I've been dreaming for so long for the moment that I could actually start posting inspiration for my brides, brag on behalf of my newlyweds and offer helpful information to my corporate and social clients!

For most that know me personally, you know that there is nothing I enjoy more than bringing happiness to those around me. I'm a people pleaser and I honestly believe that I was born to blog!

It's like I almost want to jump up and down like a little girl who just got the puppy she's been begging for. Funny enough, I did just get one of those too for my birthday!

So in honor of her, here is a picture of our new baby puppy Kalle.

Anyway, I may try to go on forever if I don't stop here. So, please stay tuned for up and coming trends, helpful tips & tricks and much more fun stuff to come!

Have a wonderful day!
