A Destination Wedding to Never Forget

We thought a Sunday was the perfect day to share gorgeous photos of a gorgeous bride, groom and wedding. Everything about it screamed, family, friends, natural beauty, fun and love. It was an experience to never be forgotten and took place in Mexico (Las Rocas).

This bride is truly one of a kind. She's gorgeous, giant hearted, adventurous and yet can sit on the floor with anyone (or sit and eat tacos) hysterically laughing while discussing "life". This lovely lady has never met a stranger. 

As for the groom, not only is he a looker, but a liver! He enjoys the little things (can be caught surfing any day of the week) and you'll never catch him with his nose in the air. He's incredibly unassuming and sweet, yet intelligent. What a duo!

Without further adieu...

Below are a few snap shots into Allison and Jon's personalities:

All photos below were captured by Anika London (a San Diego based photographer). You can view her work at http://www.anikalondon.com/ .

 

We feel like Anika captured the essence of this beautiful, fun duo so, very well!

 

The Big Day

 

 

 

There are few moments as special (with the exception of the exchanging of vows) as that first glance.

 

The Moment

 

 

 

Little did the designer of this dress know they were creating it just for her. 

 

 

 

No words on the photo above...it speaks for itself...

The Reception

 

Clearly, the theme behind this post wasn't about décor, color, etc. That was all fabulous and deserving of a post all its own. Every bridesmaid wore something different and every color of bougainvillea was represented. The touches were amazing. But, what really struck us the most about this wedding was the love. The love of life, love of nature, love of family and a love of forever partnership.

 

 

Wishing you a Sunday filled with love and laughter!

The Pineapple

 

Hospitality is something that we hold dear to our hearts. You could say it is in the DNA of this blonde and brunette. Whether it be a run, a gala, a wedding, fundraiser or a simple meeting, we find hospitality to be part of what makes us tick.  Hospitality, to us, is far from one dimensional and part of why our ‘one-stop-shop’ concept works. What you see is what you get and we’re interested in what you see and feel!

Why is hospitality so important to us? It’s simple. We believe at the root of every connection, people want to feel welcome and a part of a process, event or moment.  That’s our goal. We believe in connections, making people feel at home and excited about a cause, a brand, good time or sometimes simply designing a space.

As a symbol of hospitality, we're pineapple fans in so many ways. Why not dip that beautiful pineapple slice of heaven in gold and watch it shine! Join us as we do the same with your vision!

Happy Saturday!

Your Beauty Best by Fonda Lee

We are so excited to have the lovely Fonda Lee, owner/stylist of The Beauty Bar and philanthropist, sharing her first post on the Warren Todd blog today! Many thanks to a woman who is fabulous in every way!

 

The photo captured below is of “Brave Maeve” and her mother having a beauty moment courtesy of Fonda Lee and her lovely presence.

 

 



Understanding the “Why to” and “How to” is key. I base this on a few things.

What is on my map for today? Whether you are dealing with stress, typical insecurities or
bigger health challenges, plan time for your make up wisely.

 

 

 

 

This could be a simple tweak to your routine, but it is proven to work. Try to add 5-10 minutes
to your getting ready needs. Take the time to use make up and eye primer and add the extra
touch to the eye brow and that second coat of mascara.

 

 

Seek a professional to learn how to apply and use the tools to determine the best look for you.
Casual to a typical work day to the big night out, think of your makeup as a confidence building tool.
Along with your winning smile, it is your best accessory. Not only will you feel more energized, but
you will be ready to tackle the day with ease while making the impression that you are in charge.
 

 

 

We deal with this every day. Allow the Beauty Bar to tap into your challenge and walk you through a
makeup lesson. You will be inspired by how quickly you will feel better about the way you look.
People will react to the changes and the new you!

 

 



Beauty from the Inside Out: A sincere contribution

 

We are honored that Fonda Lee, a woman who’s “resume” runs far beyond awards and noteworthy accolades accepted our invitation to become a contributor to our blog. Simply, Fonda Lee believes in using her talents to help others put their best foot forward by providing them the opportunity to feel fabulous. We applaud all things fabulous! Her talents when it comes to a true, artistic expression are derived from years of training, hands on experience and diving into her trade to sincerely create an experience that proves beauty and confidence displayed from the inside out. That might be what set us back the most when our relationship truly began with Fonda Lee. It became clear that, although Trish had relied on Fonda Lee’s knowledge and expertise for years, her work is far more than skin deep. It is amazing. Her reputation is nothing short of phenomenal when it comes to gleaning the beauty of women who come to her with all looks, knowledge, fears and excitement. She’s a master of her trade and yet her drive is rooted in making effort to ensure that each and every person who walks through her door leaves with an experience to remember on many levels. Fonda Lee’s’s talent is unique and when seeking someone to contribute to this blog in hopes that readers would find inspiration in each post, she was at the top of the list. Fonda Lee’s the make-up maven with a philanthropic approach to life. We needed someone who could kick the myths and provide real value to readers and those preparing for any event, function or all that is included in running or beginning a venture. It is our hope that, with her help, this portion of the blog will inspire those looking to maximize their confidence in approaching a special day or vision to get past the physical fears and embrace beauty. She uses all high definition professional grade products in engaging your personal preparation needs when it comes to make up styling. She specializes in photo ready media and corporate portrait applications.

Fonda Lee not only works with those individually, she’s a philanthropist through and through. She also has spent a great amount of time hosting and coordinating events in and out of the beauty bar to raise money for local causes. Ironically, that is how we were introduced. In delivering a top notch event to kick off a marketing fundraising campaign we had created with the purpose of raising money for a cause, we reached out to Fonda Lee with the hopes of teaming up to bring on the beauty!

If you are a South Florida native or are passing by, we cannot miss this opportunity to recommend that you experience her Beauty Bar. More importantly, we cannot stress enough how much this unpretentious, yet magnanimous woman will simply brighten your day. You’ll leave with tools and cosmetic products needed in moving forward with knowledge in accentuating your inner and outer beauty and that’s a genuine talent and mark of a woman who knows what she’s doing! Most importantly, Fonda Lee’s work is sincere! Again, many thanks to Fonda Lee for contributing to the Warren Todd blog!

Our Life-Style

 

If you’ve checked out our website, you’ve noticed if we see the world “style”, we’re interested. Regardless of the genre, trend, history, color, painting, attire, we appreciate the expression.

After a few questions about “our style”, we felt it was a good idea to address our “life-style”.  Below are eight, random questions tackled by each of us. Hope this helps!

Trish:

1.       What would you label your “your style”? I would say Trendy Prep.

2.       If you were going to splurge on something clothing/accessory related, what would it be? Chunky Costume Jewelry and handbags.

3.       What are you currently reading? What Happens When a Woman Says Yes to God? Experiencing Life in Extraordinary Ways.

4.       What do you do to try and stay fit? Run and circuit training.

5.       When it comes to home décor, what would you describe as your taste? Modern Eclectic.

6.       We will never see you run to the grocery store to purchase? Anchovies.

7.       What would we find on your night stand right now? A picture frame of my husband and I and my book.

8.       When you walk in a home, what you do love to see? Fresh flowers, pictures of the family and welcoming hugs.

 

Niki:

1.       What would you call “your style”? Boho-Classic. Is there such a thing? I’m not sure my style could be labeled and that’s a ‘Niki thing’.

2.       If you were going to splurge on something clothing/accessory related, what would it be? Antique jewelry, pearls and cashmere (comfy and soft with a pop of eclectic). It must be the “Boho-Classic” in me. 

3.       What are you reading, currently? “What Happens with Women say Yes to God” by Lysa Terkeurst and “Things that Matter” by Charles Krauthammer.

4.       What do you do to try and stay fit? Dance around the room and contort my body in weird positions on the ground. It’s liberating.

5.       When it comes to home décor, what would you describe as your “taste”? All things coastal, eclectic and classic. I could live in a fabric shop and don’t think I could ascribe to a style.

6.       You will never see me run to the grocery store to purchase? Yogurt. The smell across the room makes my gag. Frozen yogurt? That’s another story!

7.       What would we find on your night stand right now? Sadly, I think I left my tea mug on my nightstand, my two “currently reading” books, another borrowed book to read next and a photo of my children.

8.       When you walk in a home, what do you love to see? Photos of family, art, fabulous tea cups or coffee mugs, flowers and, at Christmas time, a Christmas tree brimming with lights and meaningful ornaments.

 

Wishing you a wonderful Wednesday!

Trish & Niki

The Reason and an Experience

Surely, you've heard by now about the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge to strike out ALS, a horrid and debilitating disease. Many people, around the country, have taken part in this act of raising awareness with the hope others would also donate to the cause. We thought we'd take a minute to simply share a link that might bring this challenge full circle and highlight what the real "challenge" truly is and why the effort, nationwide (worldwide at this point) has taken off. Here you will find a clip of why this effort matters. We hope that people will remember this as the buck is passed their way. Donations are clearly important. Showing your passion for the cause and trying to keep the momentum going matters. It matters because momentum is what it takes to keep the donations coming and the fight raging. It matters when research is needed (not just today or tomorrow). It matters because the video that you just watched is yet one example of why the fight for this cause requires momentum and attention.

Since we are getting to know each other, we thought it might be appropriate to continue the momentum and excitement towards this movement. Over fifty million dollars have been raised by people willing to let down their hair, donate to their ability, experience that bucket of ice dumped over their head and aid in striking out ALS! We were honored to support the movement, originally referred to as the "Pete Frates Ice Bucket Challenge" and now labeled the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. The following quote struck us spoken by Pete during the video. "Ok, here's what we're dealing with. Let's go to work." There are so many important causes out there and, as a company involved in raising awareness for a variety of causes and organizations, we felt it only appropriate to do our part in getting to work in an attempt to aid in the fight to strike out Lou Gehrig's Disease. Please visit www.alsa.org to donate.

In honor of Pete and all those suffering from ALS:

Warren Todd Introduces The Blog

 

Welcome to the Warren Todd blog. We are Trisha Todd and Niki Warren Fuller and are launching this blog to share a little about the clients we are representing and to provide a inspiration surrounding all elements of marketing, events and design both from our experiences and that of our amazing contributors. After years spent building careers and exploring talents, separately we decided to join together, merging interests and ideas, hoping to inspire and bring another’s vision to life. Our marketing, event and design company was formed to exceed expectations and, in a world where at times you cannot exchange voices with the person who you’ve entrusted financially to meet your needs and further your goals, we’re clearing the clutter and opening pipeline to communication in order to it right! We value client relationships and believe that the outcome matters.

We operate based on there being no “I” in team and the client’s needs come first. There was a day when that was the norm and we’re bringing it back! Today, in so many cases, technology trumps relationships. We pride ourselves on peeling back the layers and reviving that tried and true concept of seeking and addressing the vision of the client. It is that simple. A talented photographer once referred to us as ‘the duo that can do all’. Is that true? We’d like to think so, but if we have a question or are presented with a challenge, you can rest assured we’ll find the answer! Call us old fashioned, yet as followers and lovers of great style, it's clear to us that a true classic only ripens with age and increases in value!

Let’s keep in touch!

Cheers,

Niki & Trish
