Lily in Wonderland

What kind of chance do my kids have at having a "low key" birthday party? Slim to none...I just can't help myself. I had to have fun with this as it will be my last First Birthday Bash for any of my children. Had fun with Charlie's Circus theme three years ago, so it was only fitting to have a Wonderland fit for a princess for my darling Lily Rose!
Special SPECIAL thanks to Cindy Zach who created all the incredible and whimsical flowers for the party, to the talented Stefanie Sancho from Cakes by Stef! for the simply amazing (and delicious) birthday cake. Thanks as always to Robin Kornett for the amazing invitations and all the super sweet day of items! Sari at Toppers With Glitz for the adorable blinged out #1 for the top her Lily's cake! And last but certainly not least, thank you to Jeff Vock for shooting these great images and taking time out of his busy schedule to come and capture the fun we had at the party!

It was great to see all my family and friends, and of course all my beautiful fabbies were there with their little ones in tow!

Outrageous new venue space in NJ!

WOW is all I can say! We were invited to attend a cocktail party to unveil the newly renovated Central Railroad NJ Train Station in Liberty State Park. This space is just incredible. Christy and I were literally walking around with our jaws on the floor the entire time. The possibilities for design in this space are ENDLESS! There is a gorgeous huge main room, with ceilings that go on forever. The entire space is surrounded by nothing but breathtaking views of the Hudson and the most picture perfect NYC Skyline view that you only see in the movies (or from NJ lol!)This is also a very special and Historical Venue, as it is one of the oldest Train Hubs on the East Coast. Recently renovated, this space is the perfect location for an event. You can use the gorgeous back area for cocktails, and have guests overlook the Hudson. We are just dying to get our hands on some weddings here!

Fabulous samples!

Yipee! Wedding season is brewing! We have been going to table top sample meeting after table top sample meeting lately, getting ready for our May/June events.
I am so SO excited about the designs for our first big events of the season, so I thought I would share the beautiful designs we've recently shown clients.

The first is an absolutely decadent and luxurious sample for my lovely Erica who is going to be married at Pleasantdale Chateau this June. Erica is just amazing, and put her trust into myself and Glenn at Stem & Co to come up with something elegant and lovely for her June wedding.
Look at this amazing set up! Glenn out did himself with the amazing design he drew from the beautiful invitations designed by who else but Robin K. He had a transfer made for the vases, and topped the centerpiece with a delicious pave arrangement in all pale hues of pinks, champagne and ivory. The linens from Cloth Connection, are just to die for, they are brand new never been sold or rented yet! Ecru braided taffeta over a champagne lamour. We are special ordering the cream chargers from Party Rentals and the custom ivory chivari chairs to match! Erica's POP of tiffany blue will be very simple and subtle on the table in the form of a simple but stunning tiffany blue ribbon treatment on the napkin.

We can't wait until we see the full blown design at the Chateau!

Our second gorgeous sample is from the fabulous Cindy Zach of Floral Designs by Cindy, who created this modern chic design for a great couple, Kim and Eric. This fun duo has put their trust in us to come up with a really amazing design schematic for their May wedding at The Newark Club. We can't wait to transform the room into an all white chic lounge complete with these gorgeous Phaleonopsis orchids at every turn! Cindy created this enormous arrangement complete with turquoise water and tons of candles. We completed the look with white palette linens, turquoise glassware, chargers and clear class dinnerware.

This room is going to be stunning, we can not wait to see the entire magnificent design unfold!

Stay tuned for more fun and inspiring sample pictures!!!
