Something Blue

Spring is here and weddings are in full swing! I had the pleasure of working with a wonderful family over the weekend and wanted to comment on how fantastic their colors were. They used a palette of blue, grey and ivory. Though not traditional wedding colors - when the room was set and done with candles glowing and the night sky peeking in it was amazing. To make the room pop even more we used blue uplighting to pull it all together. Many great vendors put this remarkable wedding together - Richfield Floral, The Sevilles, D'Amico Catering - wonderful to work with Jason, Studio 306 always a pleasure, and Linen Effects - Russ Mohr.

Great Bridal Party Gift Options!

I love jewelry that is unique and different and the website www.penelopepoet.com has some great options for gifts for bridesmaids, friends, parents, and especially the "wishng rabbit" for Flower Girls! Happy Spring!

Well here it is March already and your wedding may be just around the corner. Many talk about wanting to wait to hire vendors for their big day so that they can see if they are going to lose their jobs. This economy like never before has most frightened to spend money.

If you are one of those frightened souls who has been waiting on pins and needs there are a couple of great resources to hiring your vendors without having to spend endless time on the phone interviewing. www.weddingwire.com is a great resource because vendors are rated by previous clients as well as local vendors. Another great one is www.weddingvendors.com.

On a side note I was thrilled to find two photographers this week that I love and that have good prices. They are Studio Laguna www.Studiolaguna.com and Jennifer Cress www.Jennifercress.com. Both are super talented.

Happy Shopping!
