Wish Upon A Wedding's Blissful Wishes Ball

Good Gracious! is so proud to have been a part of the inspiring and wonderfully successful Blissful Wishes Ball hosted by the LA/OC chapter of Wish Upon A Wedding on October 10, 2012. Through tickets and fabulous silent and live auction items, attendees contributed just over $25,000 of crucial funding needed to grant dream wedding wishes for local couples facing life-altering circumstances.

Bathed in serene blue light, Vibiana was abrim with wedding professionals eager to dine, dance and help raise funds for a fantastic cause. Over 20 sponsoring Southern California vendors (Vibiana, Good Gracious!, Vanilla Bake Shop, Cocktail Concierge, Ice Bulb, Samuel Lippke Studios, Isabel Cinemas, Classic Party Rentals, Wildflower Linens, Shirvan Designs, My Flower Guy, Commerce Flowers, Calligraphy Katrina, DJ Nahchey, Event Company OC, Undercover Live Entertainment, Clint Huft, SoCal Shutterbooth, The Electric Violinist, Fusion Linens, Chiavari Chair Rentals, TGIS Catering and Wedding Wire) donated their services and time.

A beautifully choreographed dinner service began with GG!'s Beets Carpaccio Salad followed by Rack of Lamb Thyme and Mushroom Sage Polenta for the vegetarians. A Trio Rhubarb Fun was our perfect indulgent ending.

After honoring three deserving Shining Stars - Jake Kloberdanz (Co-Founder of OneHope Wine), Jeff Black (CEO of Classic Party Rentals) and Liese Gardner of Mecca Communications - for their tireless philanthropic work, guests got down to the business of dancing.
