slow season?

Who said the 'slow season'? It may be February, but we are busy editing weddings that took us straight through the holidays, booking next seasons events and getting involved is some pretty inspirational collaborations. One such collaboration is for the Inspiration to Reality series with Style Me Pretty. This Inspiration Board gives you a flavor of the urban chic themed shoot we were involved in on Friday. Did the groundhog see his shadow? Because we may need more than six weeks left of winter!

glow. part II

The more we see beautiful wedding celebrations- the more simplicity and soul are what stands out as really special. What makes an intimate, meaningful and fun celebration? Good friends, good food, good wine and good lighting are still on the short list of favorites... when will I tire of garden string lights? With an inquiry last month to film a wedding in Napa, the wheels are spinning about an arid, outdoor, casual California affair.

Breezy, elegant, ethereal perfection. Saja gowns are my new favorite for tropical destination wedding brides this winter.

mango + coral love.

Today's forcast Orchid Island, FL: 75 degrees. Mystic, CT: 7 degrees. Beautiful images from this wedding found on Snippet and Ink make me nostalgic for our own breezy, beachy, tropical wedding with similar casual, seaside vibe . I feel warmer already.

buzz around the globe.

For us, this is just fun. A quick internet search tonight revealed Buzz projects + films were being chatted up on blogs throughout the nation, some terrific wedding sites, and overseas. From Belgium, to Lithuania and France the power of the internet never ceases to amaze. Our French is rusty, we hope they said nice things.

iclever.

Sure, finally joining the ranks of iphone users is an upgrade but my clutz-proof protective case is not. Admittedly, I am a sucker for sleek packaging so this piqued my interest. Although durable as it claims, my current clunky "holster" has got to change. Perusing sfgirlbythebay, I came across this fantastic artist series through uncommon. I will gladly reform my rough ways for the benefit of a whimsical design- particularly the faux seventies knit design! Read more about the clever iphone cases on her post here.

fairy tale ball.

Inspiration Board for True and Wesson's Beauty and the Beast themed Table.

We are looking forward to a Saturday evening event for The Children's Musuem of Southeastern CT Annual Fairy Tale Ball. This year designers from NYC and CT are coming together to produce 27 dinner tables in themes from fairy tales, classic and modern storybooks and family-friendly movies, all created by talented colleagues... artists, interior decorators, party planners, caterers, graphic designers, couture experts, floral designers, landscape architects and retailers. The tablescapes are inspiring- from tiny tabletop details to three dimensional constructions suspended in air. The soundstage, which will host about 300 guests, is transformed by the creations, which take hours and hours of design time and are fully donated.
On a chilly night in January, it is heartwarming to see so many talented artists come together to raise money for a good cause!
