EVEN MORE FABULOUS IMAGES!

A two page spread for our InStyle Celeb Real wedding just wasn't enough for me....There were SO many gorgeous images from the wedding that neither the magazine nor our website could really showcase all the amazing elements of just the day of the wedding, nevermind the day before and the after party! Here are a few of our favorite images from the Friday night Welcome Event, and the hot hot HOT after party and all white custom "Rip City" casino where celeb DJ D-NICE was spinning the mix till 3 am!

Enjoy and thanks again to Stephan Maloman for the amazing images!

And also, oh so fab was asked to contribute a winter themed favor idea for the website which you can see here, this was one of our all time favorites! This favor idea will also appear in the January issue of (201) Bride!

Winter Favors for InStyle Weddings

WOW! NEW PRESS! AMAZING!!!!

We are beyond thrilled to have one of our most fabulous weddings to date chosen to be featured in the one and only InStyle Weddings Magazine. This gorgeous wedding, the amazing design MASTERPIECE (sorry I am going to gloat a little bit here people bare with me) is the wedding of the amazing NBA superstar Richard "Rip" Hamilton of the Detroit Pistons and his gorgeous bride TJ Lottie. We were delighted to be a part of this amazing event, from start to finish it was a challenge but we had an incredible team of designers, vendors and true professionals from NYC and the Sunshine State that really made the job enjoyable and a memorable experience for all involved.

This is also a sad occassion, as this will be the last issue (sniff sniff) of InStyle Weddings, we can't help but wonder why the most famous and well read bridal publication is closing it's doors BUT we are honored to have been a part of this most historic issue.

I would be remiss if I didn't thank all of the amazing people who made this day the perfect event that it was.

A Shower for Mia

Recently I had the privilege of planning one of my oldest and "bestest" friends baby shower. My girlfriend Teresa, who I have been friends with since first grade, is having her first baby (in about 5 days!) and I was honored to have had the chance to help design this fun and sweet shower with her wonderful Mother. Special thanks to Laura Hooper Calligraphy for the amazing invites and day of items, Sweet as a Cupcake for the yummies, Solari's Restaurant in Hackensack for the deilsh food, and Cloth Connection for the linens!

We can't wait to meet you Baby Mia!

Welcome Baby Henry!

We would like to welcome the newest fabbie baby to the world, our very own Sarah gave birth to her first child Henry Andrew today. Weighing in at a whopping 8lbs 6oz (wow wow wow wow) he came into the world this afternoon. Congratulations to Sarah and Andy on the birth of your beautiful baby boy!

The Wedding Industry hits Wall Street

Today is a very special day for anyone who works in the wedding biz. Our good friend and one of the talented Editors from The Knot, Rebecca Crumley, told me today that their CEO would be ringing the closing bell this afternoon down on Wall Street!
Congrats to The Knot on all your continued success!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I would like to take a moment to reflect on a crazy year in the industry. This past year when the economy tanked, many people in the biz got very concerned very quickly that this amazing work we did for clients would not have a place in the wedding world. This year proved to actually be one of oh so fab's most successful years, not only for press and featured weddings, but for growth both personally and professionally. And for that, I am thankful.

This Thanksgiving, I want to thank my family for always supporting me, my wonderful Husband and two beautiful children for being my reason to live...for my amazing network of girlfriends who have been nothing short of incredible and continue to touch my life every single day. And I especially want to thank my amazing and loyal staff, Christy, Allyson, GG, Jenn, Joanna and Sharon. You girls are simply the best. You've been there for some pretty amazing events this year, and in years past. I especially want to thank my "original three" GG, Christy and Al for being my steady fabbies through and through, knowing I can count on you is what helps me bring this company to the next level. To Jenn, Joanna and Sharon we are so glad you're on board with the team and look forward to many years of continued growth.

Thank you to all the wonderful vendors we work with, and thank you to all the planners and designers out there who continue to inspire us to create amazing events.

And finally thank you to all our amazing clients, both past and present....thank you for entrusting us with one of the most important days of your lives, we are so honored to be a part of your wedding planning experience.

Here's to a wonderful Holiday Season, and we can't wait to ring in the new year with the most fabulous NYE event to date!

Enjoy this day and be thankful

Vintage Chic in Long Island

It's not every day that you get to have the pleasure of designing the wedding of the sister of one of your very close friends! Recently, my girlfriend Nicole from college recommended that her younger sister Brooke who I've known for years, hire oh so fab to help her and her mom bring together all the details for her November wedding. It was amazing how we pulled together all the colors and ideas that were swirling around Brooke's head! She had a vision of vintage inspired soft looks combined with a hip chic loungy feel which was brought to life in the GORGEOUS Temple Lawrence in Long Island. Here are a few (terrible) pictures I took with my little camera Sunday night, I will post pro pics when we get them! Brooke you looked gorgeous, and I wish you and Ronen all the luck in the world! Congrats to the new Dr and Mrs. Elefant!

Our Big Fat Fabulous Greek Wedding.....

It's not every day that we get to plan a wedding with a couple as gracious and sweet as Mariella and Mitch. Mariella came to us last year with two crinkly old fall leaves and paint chips. Yes I said paint chips. She had a vision, and she clearly had a color story! With the help of some of our favorite vendors we created an amazing design for Mariella and Mitch that intertwined her love of all things fall with her insatiable craving for bling, bling and more bling (my dream come true)

As you can see, the couple looked gorgeous and the backdrop of the fantastic over the top room design really helped set the tone for the guests as they partied it up Greek Style till after midnight the night of the wedding.

Special thanks to Milton Gil for providing us these lovely detail images, Floral Designs by Cindy for once again creating art out of flowers, Cloth Connection for all the 30 amazing custom linens (damn you oval tables!), Something Different Party Rentals, EventLights, Cakes by Stef (omg that cake!) Robin K Design, Laura Hooper Calligraphy, Jeanne Costello Designs (that room draping totally transformed the entire room!) and last but not least a special shout out to one of our great interns Jen who really truly did the work of 3 interns (literally) that day and was a true asset to the team.

You will see this baby in print soon, stay tuned and congrats to Mariella and Mitch!
