Friday Wine Tasting... St. Germain and Champagne!
This weekend we are setting up camp in Rhode Island at the Ocean House for two very special couples' weekend of events. We are also helping to coordinate and design a 40th birthday bash on the shoreline. It is going to be a full weekend of events and we couldn't be more thrilled to be involved with so many incredible vendors, all of the details, logistics, and planning leading up to one really big weekend. Of all of the things I can control onsite for the execution of the event I am always asked if I can guarantee sunshine, and while I can't control the weather, this weekend I am positive the sun will be shining all around them.
Drink of the Week:
This is the perfect cocktail for a Summer Wedding or Birthday Soiree!Cheers! And Happy Friday!

Inspiration from Anywhere...Married at the Lakehouse
Let's set the scene for today's board, shall we? Family and friends gather at the bride's family's lakehouse - her favorite place from childhood - to watch her wed her sweetheart on a sweet summer day. Rustic, New England-inspired decor like sailor knots, wooden signs, and old maps cover every surface. The couple shares their first kiss as newlyweds on a canoe-lined dock. Blissful, don't you think?

Wedding Wednesday...Jennifer and Dominic at Saltwater Farm Vineyard
Jennifer and Dominic's elegant wedding at Saltwater Farm Vineyard last month is a perfect example of why Connecticut weddings are so uniquely lovely. The details were kept refined and purposeful, without sacrificing statement-making elements such as their towering tulip centerpieces and a knockout bridal party dressed in royal blue. Simple, understated beauty.

Friday Wine Tasting... Buzzworthy Red
Wine of the Week...
Happy Friday! Everyone is buzzing about this super Tuscan blend so I had to pick up a bottle to see what the hype was about. I haven't blogged much lately about great reds since the temps have been so ridiculously hot here in the Northeast but this wine is fabulous! It is definitely a steal priced under $20, which is always my favorite find! This is a must try for the weekend. Cheers!
Tasting Notes: Superbly rich ruby-red in color. This blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet and Merlot is very complex on the nose, with crisp fruit fragrances melding beautifully with earthy notes. The palate exhibits a solid structure with impressive depth, and great length and finish that will keep you licking your lips to re-live this wonderful taste experience. -Wine Expert, Stew Leonard's

Inspiration from Anywhere...Cherries
A basket full of plump, red cherries represents summer at its finest, don't you think? They make me feel like throwing on my favorite white dress, jumping outside, and digging my toes in the grass! Summery hues of red may just be my favorite for their variety and how they pop in the sunlight, and they'd make darling summer wedding decor, no?
