NJ Bride Interview

Look for Tina LaMorte's helpful wedding planning expertise in the next issue of NJ Bride.
I was interviewed by Molly Tully, the Editor of NJ Bride for a feature on wedding planning! Stay tuned for when this issue hits newsstands!

Is this FABULOUS or what????

I can't even speak I am so excited. We finished shooting for Platinum Weddings last week with the most scrumptious and extravagant wedding we've designed to date. The most incredible attention to detail went into this day, after 14 months of intense planning we were so pleased with the result; and so was our Bride and Groom. Daneris our gorgeous bride cried and cried and cried when she walked into the room for the first time. It was the most wonderful reward for a job well done!

Don't have individual images yet, but the always incredible Photography By Rebecca put together this slide show for us. It's just incredible!!!!!

This is going to take a lot of space to write but so much went into this event I feel the need to thank everyone on the blog!

Fall Fun!

Angela had a blast working with this lovely couple, Maria & Mike last weekend at The Manor in West Orange. Michelle came to us late in the game for some extra day of help and Angela got the job done.
Congrats to the newlyweds and we look forward to seeing some professional pictures!

PS: For those of you who may think our job is "easy and glamorous" Angela worked this wedding with a 102 degree fever and went directly to the hospital the morning after! Now that is commitment!

PLATINUM WEDDINGS! It's a wrap!

We finished our week long shooting extravaganza with Platinum Weddings yesterday, and the week ended with the most scrumptious and decadent event we have been planning for 14 months!!! We promise to upload images from the fabulous Photography By Rebecca just as soon as we get them. This wedding is out of CONTROL gorgeous!

We hope our lovely couple Daneris and Hector are reading this from their fabulous honeymoon in Hawaii!

Stay tuned for pictures!!!

A Beautiful Day at the NJ Botanical Gardens









WOW! Amy and I designed a gorgeous event on the 11th at Skylands Manor in Ringwood. I think it's safe to say that the room was COMPLETELY transformed and looked fabulous! Our clients wanted pink and purple and we gave them just that, with an infusion of butterflies in all the elements that were created by who else but Robin K Design! The weather was gorgeous, so the outdoor ceremony was really breath taking. The day was topped off with a spectacular coture cake designed by the one and only Ron Ben-Isreal. Special thanks to Joy Glenn Photography for snapping these great detail shots, Robin K Design for all the spectatular stationery, Jeanne Costello Designs for the fantastic draping and ceiling treatments, and World of Illumination for the professional lighting! And also thank you to Metropolitan Plant Exchange for stepping in late in the game to help out with flowers!

And finally a BIG thank you to Linda Pergola and staff at The Castle, Linda you know WE LOVE YOU!

**Look for this event to be a featured wedding in the Spring 09' issue of
(201) Bride**

No one does the Jersey Shore like oh so fab...




Leave it to us to turn the good ol' Jersey Shore into somewhere as chic as South Beach! We recently did a gorgeous wedding for a fabulous couple, Liz & Andy, down at Avenue in Long Branch,NJ. The day was gorgeous, and the design was so much FUN! We loved the colors and enjoyed working in a really funky beach environment. Cindy Zack of Floral Designs by Cindy created STUNNING and completely drop-dead gorgeous arrangements for the day, omg, that Chuppah!!!!! Carol from A Starry Night really kept the music pumping all night long, and it was our pleasure to work with a new vendor Rock Mellon Videography. As always, thanks to our friend Carolyn at Bella Dia Custom Invitations who created a slew of amazing day of items to bring the look together!

Bride's Local Photo Shoot!




We just love our Bride's Local Magazines! They are always so good to oh so fab, and we wanted to return the favor! Recently Kim from Bride's NJ asked us to be a part of a fabulous project where we had to design a funky "retail store inspired" centerpiece for the up coming issue. We won't reveal which fabulous super MAKE UP haven we were selected to get inspired by, BUT let's just say it was a really girly blast to create this masterpiece! GG and I really put our heads together and designed this really fun and flirty arrangement for the shoot. The staff loved it! Special thanks to Kimberly, Amber, Leigh and Lauren for a great day! Can't wait to see it in print!
