Our Anniversary Party!

Well, it’s all over.  And I have to admit, for a day or so, I had the same let-down that I remember getting after our real wedding day – the soaring adrenaline crashes, you’ve had a lot of drinks, and you’re left with a house full of flowers and a ton of photographs.  Nothing can [...]

Weddings Touched by Toile

For those of you looking to do something just a little different on your wedding day, or add a touch of vintage, think about using toile as accent pieces, or a “main event” of your decor, such as in your linens or part of your invitation suite.
Toile can replace damask, which has been all the [...]

Antique Rose & Sea Blue

I have never seen this color combination, and it totally came to me while sitting here thinking about summer roses, while staring out the windows of my house, which are framed in these fabulous, frothy blue curtains – they’ve got a sheen to them that can catch the green of the outside, but are really [...]

Kelly & Steve: At Last!

This couple was a dream to work with; their level-headedness with all things wedding, their creativity, and their enthusiasm was simply a perfect combination to make their wedding day perfect.  Not to mention, they are so happily, wonderfully in love, and anyone with eyes can see it, and see that they will be happy together [...]

Wrap Me in Veils

The intern and I had a day talking Veils, and then we started to list off all the different kinds available.  We discovered both our mothers had the “cap” veils, very usual of the mid-eighties (and other odd periods during the 1900’s).  That being said, there are so many other chic and amazing pieces you [...]

Peach & Cobalt

A unique look for 2010 and 2011 is a refreshing combination of peach and cobalt – this tends to go vintage or bright.  It’s a great palette for spring and summer, or if you shift the peach to a soft rose it can also be great for fall weddings.  I love how the cobalt is [...]

Chartreuse & Turquoise

Hip and trendy and fresh – you want your wedding to feel hot and spicy without the bright pinks and oranges?  Try fresh greeny chartreuse and cool turquoise, a combo that can harken back a bit to the 70’s but with the turquoise it’s a new combo that can be subtle or bright depending on [...]

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 [...]
