Marie Antoinette Inspired

I love the movie Marie Antoinette with Kirsten Dunst! I was watching it yesterday and was totally inspired by the color palette and fabrics used to create the costumes and also to create the set design. In case you haven't seen the movie, I have added a few photos below.....hope you enjoy!

The Queen of Cakes

We are so excited to be working with Sylvia Weinstock on an upcoming wedding! She has created a cake for our bride, taking inspirations from her wedding dress and also including the bride's favorite flower, a peony. Thus naming the cake "Peony and Lace". We can't wait to see it and then show it to all of you! Once the photos are complete we will be sure to share them, but in the meantime, enjoy the beautiful photos of past creations by Sylvia.

Enjoy

It's a Shore Thing

In case you are thinking of planning a beach wedding or want the feel of a destination affair without the hassle, look no further! Congress Hall is the place to be. Located in Cape May, NJ only a two-hour drive from Philadelphia, the wonderful beachfront property provides an amazing atmosphere for your event. The hotel has all of its historic charm with the twist of modern style. Not only does it offer a unique ballroom and ceremony space near the ocean, it also has the Boiler Room, a jazz lounge & bar, located on the basement level of the hotel. So even though your affair has ended the party does not have to stop. Check out the photos below from their website…..

Health & Beauty

Planning a wedding can be pretty stressful! Not only are you worried about how the wedding will look, you are also focused on looking your best. While looking for a fitness routine to get myself into my best wedding dress body, I came across Urbanfront Pilates. It was recently voted Best of Philly 2007 and it will get you thinking clearly while also whipping you into shape.
