Last week I was lucky enough to be a guest at the FaceTime Beauty Concierge ladies’ luncheon! We feasted on amazing food by Cobblestone Catering, enjoyed the vintage inspired music of Loukoum from Elan Artists and enjoyed the company of our beautiful hostess, Linsey Snyder Wachalter of FaceTime Beauty Concierge as well as many other creative industry friends.
Isn’t this just the perfect setting? The flowers (especially the spectacular purple vanda orchids) are perfect for any garden party, baby shower or bridal shower, and were created by Caroline of L’Atelier Rouge. The picture-perfect stationery was a custom design by the wonderful Bridget from B-Dub Productions. Thanks to Mel Barlow for capturing the day!

Lorraine & Dave’s reception was a dramatic Spring Soiree filled with shades of salmon and green at the Millennium Broadway’s Hudson Theater. The garden-inspired centerpieces from Rountree Flowers highlighted blush-colored peonies – an ideal bloom for this spring wedding design! The escort cards were on a show-stopping bed of pave flowers – a mixture of spider mums, hydrangea and roses. Guests enjoyed a caramel apple favor for their “Big Apple” wedding symbolizing a donation to the Memorial Sloan-Kettering foundation made by the couple. The entire stationery suite was designed by the talented Kayleigh Jankowski and printed by Cards and Pockets and included a hand-drawn rendition of the cathedral and NYC skyline.
We still have one more set of amazing images from this special day, stay tuned!

The creative ladies at 100 Layer Cake have really outdone themselves with using vintage earrings as placecard stands. If my name were Theodore, Camille or Madeline, I’d feel very lucky to sit here. What a glam way to bring in a little mix-and-match sparkle to any tables – bridal shower, baby shower, wedding or dinner party!

While searching for the perfect napkins for a client, I stumbled across this fun tool from BBJ Linens called the “Design Your Event Table” virtual tool. It allows you to test out different tablecloths, napkins, chair types and chair accessories for your table design!
Perfect for those doing DIY design for their event and you just can’t decide on the pink tablecloth with the green napkins or the green tablecloth with the pink napkins. Now, if they could just expand it to include flowers, chargers, silverware, glassware and menus!

We love trees and branches as a dramatic touch for any event. But, when it comes to escort cards, hanging tags on a tree isn’t the best route. Since it’s not in a logical, alphabetical order, guests won’t be able to “grab & go” and it will create a bottleneck.
If you have your heart set on an escort card tree, split it up into a few trees and label them with ranges of letters (i.e. A-L, M-P, Q-Z, etc.). Or, you can use the tree concept to display special photos and mementos.

This New York City proposal was all romance! The penthouse at the Hudson Hotel was lavishly decorated in a palette of deep reds and purples and filled to the brim with flowers from Rountree Flowers…one for each day since the happy couple met. The groom-to-be composed a song especially for the occasion which was performed live on acoustic guitar by Goro & Marcelo. These spectacular shots are by Zlatko Batistich. Congratulations to Francesco & Cynthia!

Check out these beautiful photos of the feature table that we designed for Molly & Mark’s library wedding! Vintage letterpress blocks, antique typewriter ribbon tins, embossed leather-bound journals (see a close up of them here) wrapped in belly bands with their custom damask design, personalized hexagonal pencils, collected crystal jars and an authentic 1920s typewriter all came together to create an amazing focal point for their guests!

The reception of Molly & Mark’s gorgeous library wedding took place at 91 with delicious catering by the Upper Crust. Custom stationery was created exclusively for the bride & groom by Megan Guerin and appeared on everything from the escort cards to the menus to the drink coasters. Crystal chandeliers courtesy of Jersey Street Furniture framed the space and created the “family dinner” ambiance that the thoughtful bride & groom envisioned.
A single orchid was placed on each placesetting and the centerpieces were elegant, highly-textured florals by Rountree Flowers. Cocktail centerpieces were a nod to the vintage aspect of the wedding and were an assortment of letterpress blocks. The linens, chairs and chargers are courtesy of Party Rental Ltd.
All of these great shots are from Zlatko Batistich, photographer extraordinaire!We have one more set of photos from this marvelous wedding so stay tuned!
