Inspiration from Anywhere...Sparklers

Sparklers are like fireworks in your hand.  The opportunity to hold something so simultaneously wonderous and precarious is always such a unique experience, that I'm so glad to see they've come out of hiding after the Fourth of July and into weddings, too!  Will you be celebrating with these real-life glowsticks this weekend?

Wedding Wednesday...Inspire Me Pretty New York Part II

I love any chance to play designer for a day - whether it's on-site at a gorgeous wedding or on one of my favorite wedding blogs!  Style Me Pretty New York is hosting their second "Inspire Me Pretty" board contest through Friday and it's the perfect opportunity to indulge my (and your) wedding design dreams.  Pull together a lovely board detailing your ideal Hudson Valley wedding in the board builder, tag it "Inspire Me Pretty NY," and you'll be in the running for board of the week!

Tuesday Shoesday... Fourth of July

I'm with Abby over in the Superburbs, the count down is on until the Fourth of July.  This is the first Fourth of July that I will be off in 5 years and I couldn't be more thrilled.  It is absolutely one of the best holidays and a real excuse to celebrate summer.  We are packing up our bags and heading to the Cape.  Growing up we used to go every summer with my family but I haven't been in years so it is going to be a real treat.  I am looking forward to long runs near the water, short naps in the sun, lots of magazine reading, and some down time to just be.  So in honor of the Fourth of July, my love of summer and vacationing on the Cape I thought these shoes were the perfect accessory to include in my bag.

Coffee Talk Monday... A Sneak Peek at Cindy and Brock's Wedding

So sorry for the lack of posts lately, thank God for miss Paloma who has been amazing at getting posts up regularly on Wednesdays and Thursdays.  This is always the hardest time of year for me to have time to blog so I apologize for my lack of content, I promise there are some amazing weddings and events we have been working on that are going to blow you away.  Like this one we worked on last Friday with an incredibly talented group of vendors at the Stamford Yacht Club.  Here is a sneak peak at some of the fabulous details shot by Leila Brewster Photography.  The flowers were take your breath away beautiful (KD&J Botanica) Absolutely gorgeous!!!  Can't wait to share this full wedding with you all.

Inspiration from Anywhere...Prep School

Preppy style and summer go together like lemonade and cookies: they were made for each other, and their union makes the season sweeter!  A cardigan-draped bride, seersucker details, lawn games, and gorgeous monogram details all come together in a perfectly preppy June wedding that's hard to resist.

Friday Wine Tasting... St. Germain and Champagne!

 

Leila Brewster Photography

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!
