New York Magazine: Winter/Spring Weddings Edition

The go-to guide for many NYC couples as the prepare for their wedding, the New York Magazine Weddings winter/spring edition is out in print and online now. Each designer was given a month and asked to design a bridal bouquet. I got February....love the deep purple tones! A mix of black calla lilies, purple anemones, sweet peas and hot pink mini phaleonopsis orchids and purple clematis make up the bouquet. (Unfortunately you can't see it from this angle but I used the most beautiful ombre ribbon to tie the bouquet, sigh.)

Happy New Year!

It's cliche and I know it but I honestly can't believe it's January and a new year has just begun. I've been lax to say the least in my postings but I will resolve to do better...I'll add it to the list of resolutions. 

I have some great things to share, some unseen moments of 2012 as I just received a lot of great images from past weddings and I definitely want to recap some of my favs of the past year. I had the opportunity to work with some amazing people as they celebrated and I'm looking forward to even more in 2013.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Tis' the Engagement Season

As the holidays rapidly approach the "big question" will be poppin' right along with those celebratory champagne corks.

According to Liene Stevens of Think Splendid "Thanksgiving kicks off engagement season in the United States (the most marriage proposals occur between Thanksgiving and Valentine's Day) and many couples will officially start their wedding planning."

We want to hear your story! If you get engaged this upcoming holiday season be sure to share your story with us! Did it go off without a hitch? Was it public or private? Well planned or spontaneous?

However it goes down, we want to know about it!

Real Wedding: Matt and Laura at the City Winery

 Major shout out to the Bee's Knees...if you don't already know about them, now you do. You MUST try one of their "cakecups", do it...like yesterday.

 

 

Designing the flowers for this wedding was extra special for me because the couple are dear friends of mine. Matt & Laura allowed me to have my freedom while creating the look for their wedding and I happily did just that. We used a simple summer color palette of buttery yellow garden roses, cafe au lait dahlias, subtle hints of green hydrangea and touches of white. The long banquet tables were perfect for the small intimate group in the City Winery's barrel room and I was able to use my favorite linen of the moment. It's a woven linen with a metallic thread running through it, kind of like a fancy rustic feel, perfect for the mix of silver and gold metallic candle holders and vases.
