DIY: holiday branch decor

spotted this great table in the CB2 catalog a few weeks ago & just saw the diy instructions on their blog. fun idea - i could see this adapted for a fall or winter wedding- would be lovely for an escort card table!

eco-friendly party in a box

Zulily, a great online discounter for hip children's products is featuring Acme Party Box Co at 40% discount until 11/5. I love this innovative, environmentally conscious business concept, which sells stylish goods for kids & adult parties. They make it so easy for you by grouping the goods by party concept such as the Fall Harvest or the circus party.  Their complete packages include everything from letterpress invitations to reusable favor bags.

Here are some of of my favorites-

Real Wedding: Old Hollywood Glam at Loews Philadelphia

Just got some great photos from Suzanne Tenuto.   It was our first time working together, and I am impressed with her work- not to mention her pleasant personality all day!   Phyllis and her team at Eventricity did a great job achieving the "sultry" look the bride was hoping for...

amazing view from the cocktail hour on the 33rd floor at the Loews

Real Wedding: rustic, warm & inviting

I am so excited to finally receive the beautiful photos from this summer's wedding from Eric at The Artist Group.  I had worked with the bride's sister several years ago, and was elated when the family contacted me to plan her older sister's wedding too!  From the beginning, D& N knew exactly what they wanted: a warm, community feast with a Northern California vibe.  I designed a logo which was an abstract circle of people surrounding the couple's initials.  Together with the super talented Nancy Saam,  I incorporated moss, succulents, bark, fiddleheads, and burlap throughout the decor elements.  The bride & groom couldn't have been more appreciative of the final outcome, and seeing their enjoyment was one of the highlights of my career!

i love lucies (and wish they were on the east coast!)
