The inspiration for our March Color Story was my own wedding, which happened a few years ago in late March. I’m still thrilled with the colors we chose, but, of course, new twists and turns are part of everything Eclatante does. So, here we go with what I believe is one of our most beautiful color stories ever!

The venue for our March Color Story was the absolutely enchanting Carousel Room at the Please Touch Museum. We all had such a great time in there (how could we not? It’s a real carousel!). (These two photos are courtesy of the Please Touch Museum.)

So, with this as our backdrop, we brought in an amazing team of professionals who, together, worked and played so well until the way-late at night to bring you this month’s color story. We were, again, truly fortunate to have Marie Labbancz photograph our story so that you can see just how beautiful it was!
The drop-dead gorgeous wedding gown (designed by Monique Lhuillier) and the adorable short lace party dress Oksana was wearing were delivered and styled by Mary Helen Ranieri, the owner Suky Occasions. Claudia Seyler (Claudia Seyler Beauty) created the absolutely perfect look for Oksana, our beautiful model.



Bill and Donna of Beautiful Blooms were the ultimate perfectionists creating their gorgeous florals that adorned this fantasy perfectly. The centerpiece consisted of three vases wrapped in white lace paper filled with a mixed arrangement of purple hydrangea, deep plum tulips, blue curiosa roses, purple double lisianthus and muscari. At the base of the vases were smaller vases with lace accents filled with muscari. The whole table was accented with navy blue skinny taper candles.


Two Paper Dolls masterfully stepped up to the plate with gorgeous periwinkle and white lace table numbers and seating cards – absolutely perfectly suited for our story. They always get it right!



The beautiful finishing touches, including all the elegant table top pieces, and those amazing “ghost chairs” by Party Rentals Ltd. and the wonderful and perfectly coordinated linens from The Total Table – made this Color Story absolutely flawless.

Another captivating detail were the multiple streams of periwinkle satin ribbon painstakingly hung by VU- Events, who also did a fantastic job of lighting our beautiful table.

Beautiful Blooms created a lovely hand-tied bouquet of lavender hyacinths, blue curiosa roses and purple double lisianthus with a lace ribbon detail on the bouquet.


Finally, the food and wine were nothing short of phenomenal — created and beautifully presented by the chefs at Max & Me Catering. David Robison, Max and Me’s Executive Chef and Theresa Linskey, the Sous Chef, prepared a feast of Seared Foie Gras with Ginger Cassis Sauce and Silky Onion Puree. Unbelievable!


We hope you’ve enjoyed our March Color Story as much as the whole team enjoyed bringing it to you!
Stay tuned for our April Color Story – another stunner!
