When Martha calls…

We answer!!

Martha Stewart’s much-beloved wedding site asked us to provide them with photos (by Sandor Welsh Photography) of one of our VERY FAVORITE weddings.   

Sonya & Michael’s wedding was incredibly rich with beautiful Hindu and Jewish traditions and as much familial love as we’ve ever seen.    The editors at Martha Stewart saw in this truly beautiful wedding all that we loved and shared it with their zillions world-wide readers.

Congrats Sonya & Michael!

April Color Story

Sunday, April 5th, 2009

FINALLY!!!!  

. . .  Spring is almost here!   We can’t think of a better way to celebrate than to present our enchanting April Color Story created out of hues of Robin’s Egg Blue, White & Pink.

Welcome to the first wedding of Spring!

The absolutely adorable “City Garden” of the Please Touch Museum provided the perfect backdrop for our beautiful spring wedding.   And, of course, the incredible talent of Marie Labbancz made it possible for us to bring the best of our work to you.

Bill and Donna of Beautiful Blooms really outdid themselves with the very pretty arrangements of tulips, peonies, hydrangea and pink quince in luscious white milk glass containers and white cylinder vases.  

   

We found perfect paper mache robin’s eggs on Etsy, which became very charming additions to the table nestled in nesting straw in milk glass containers.

 The boys of VU- Events hung a lovely blue birdcage and metal lanterns and mini painted lampshades from Anthropologie, along with providing exactly the right lighting for our beautiful table.

Two Paper Dolls came through for us beautifully – as always – by creating the perfect invitations to the first wedding of Spring!

The linens were just exactly what the table called for, thanks to The Total Table.   And the beautiful place settings were provided by Party Rentals Ltd.

 

We just adore the bridesmaid’s gown Mary Helen Ranieri (owner of Suky Occasions) styled for our wedding.   Claudia Seyler (Claudia Seyler Beauty) styled Oksana perfectly with exactly the right hairstyle, makeup – and amazing jewelry.   

And just look at that amazing bouquet created by Bill at Beautiful Blooms.

David Robison, Max & Me Catering’s Executive Chef and Theresa Linskey, the Sous Chef, prepared a divine feast complete with blue margaritas!!!


 

We hope you’ve enjoyed our April Color Story as much as the whole team enjoyed bringing it to you!   Stay tuned for our next installment!
