Oo la la Orchids
Orchids are fabulous. They hold up well out of water, making them perfect for hair and hot days, and they are hardy enough to be wired from the ceiling without wilting or breaking or loosing petals. I’m no official florist, but I have enough amazing floral friends that have shown me the magic of orchids [...]
Non-Floral Centerpieces for your Table
These ideas are not completely new and fresh, but it’s good to be reminded of the other options out there to dress up your wedding reception tables – or, if you’re still desiring that lush floral for the reception, then perhaps for your cocktail lounge. For those who want to go with either an earthy [...]
Suits of a Different Color
We all know we want the groom and his men lined up in something dapper and refined for the wedding, whether it’s in a well cut suit, a classic tux, or a casual khaki ensemble that fits the weather on a beach. Why not stretch the envelope a little and think about reviving the more [...]
A Black and White Ball
In 1966, Truman Capote held the party of the decade in New York City. His guest list included such celebrities as Frank Sinatra and Andy Warhol, Candice Bergen and Lee Radziwill, and while your own wedding may not be as star-studded, it can be just as fabulously eccentric and whimsically timeless as Capote’s now famous [...]
A Return to the Traditional
Yes, I fully realize Ivanka Trump has been married now for a while, but I’ve just started to see the photography (as limited as it is) around the web and in magazines. I have to say, I am incredibly impressed by the classy, sophisticated and timeless aura of the entire wedding. It made me take [...]

My army brother has just moved to his commissioned post in Fairbanks, Alaska. He got a flat in the North Pole. I’m serious, his address really is North Pole, Alaska. Which I think is very cool (in more ways than one). As he packed up his steel toe boots, long underwear and wool socks, I [...]
Rehearsal Wanderings
As the weather has gotten colder, I’ve taken to having a lot of meetings crammed into a few days with couples that are in town for the holidays, or shortly thereafter. The sprints between checking in with vendors has happened, of course, as the temperatures keep falling. One of the biggest hunts (and therefore, the most [...]
Couture Cupcakes
I’m normally not one for ‘cute,’ but after stumbling across the multitudes of fancy cupcake holders out there while looking for cake stands, I decided it was worth chatting about. Cupcakes can definitely go from cute to sophisticated if wrapped in damask, or from blah to party with the unique cuts available. They [...]

Vintage postcards for Vintage touches
I finally convinced my husband to go on an antiquing weekend, which sounds incredibly old school, and something my parents would do, now that they’re retiring from their day jobs. Interestingly enough, I spent more time taking photographs of unique pieces that could be used for weddings than searching for home decor accents, which was [...]
