Our fabulous Friday news is… we have a new website! Our expanded, easier to view photo gallery, improved service pages, and even a brighter color pallet is something to be excited about – and we could not be more excited!

Check it out. We’re working to reduce the loading time so it is only going to get better from here.

Enjoy the weekend. Hope you have fun plans!

We just found out some exciting news, but we can’t share until tomorrow… the anticipation is just like the few minutes before the ceremony procession starts!

See you then!

This weekend we meet up with Tyra Bleek of Tyra Bleek Photography for a photo shoot and couldn’t be more thrilled with the outcome! It took a bit of planning and designing to come up with the style, details, and decor but it was worth every moment.

How did this all begin? It started with about the most generic thought anyone could muster: “I would like to create a 1920s style photo shoot.” There was something appealing about the elegance and glamour of the time that is vintage but extravagant — even if vintage isn’t your style, the sophistication of the Roaring 20s has a certain appeal that can inspire even the most lavish weddings.

We employed a pink, black, white, and silver color palette. A blush pink table cloth with a black and white runner was the backdrop for the centerpiece display and table setting. After promising to take excellent care of the family silver, we took candelabras and trays from the hutch and started pulling the details together.

It was a true pleasure working with Tyra. She has an incredibly way of working with people so that even the most nervous grooms are comfortable being in front of her lens — the most important quality in a photographer (in my opinion). It means that in your wedding photos you will be the naturally beautiful, relaxed, smiling person that everyone loves. Add to this her eye for great shots, professionalism, and creativity and you have a great photographer on your hands (or in your wedding vendor list!).

We have been working diligently over the last few weeks to pull together an inspirational photo shoot for you! This Saturday we will be collecting all of the goodies, packing up the Jeep, and creating something that will *hopefully* inspire your wedding design.

A little inspiration for the photo shoot…

As you can see by the author of yesterday’s post our blog has some new contributors …  two fabulous interns! These ladies will be with us for the summer to learn more about weddings and planning, as well as to offer some of their thoughts on fabulous wedding details.

Jessica F.
Hey y’all my name is Jessica F.! I am from South Hamilton, Massachusetts and known to my family and friends as the “Northern Bell.”  Currently, I am twenty-one and entering my final year of college {Praise the Lord!}  I graduated from Hamilton-Wenham Regional High School in 2007 and then headed down South to attend Lee University.  I am a Communications major with a concentration in Public Relations, and I intend to become a Wedding Planner.  Weddings are my passions.  Like many, my favorite wedding moment to witness is the grooms’ reaction as he stands in awe of the first sight of his wife to be.  When it comes to style, I deem that the more creative the wedding, the better.  Nevertheless, there is always nothing more elegant than a simple, traditional wedding.

Abby
Hi my name is Abby and I will be a senior at Bucknell University in the fall. I am an English major and an Economics minor, but my true passions are wedding planning and makeup artistry. I am passionate about making people happy and I love to use my creative energy to do so. Weddings are especially fun because of the many creative and unique aspects that can be rearranged to suit any bride’s style. Two of my favorite current wedding trends are dinner-focused receptions and “the party dress.” More and more couples sets a great event mood by opting for a relaxing, formal dinner where friends and family can enjoy a carefully selected menu without other distractions.

Hope you are enjoying the summer. I know we are!

Cheers,

We’re excited to announce that we will be participating in the July 11th Simply Elegant Platinum Wedding Expo!

I’m looking forward to seeing Vera Wang present her dresses in a New York runway-style fashion show. Her designs are classic, sophisticated, and beautifully understated. I wonder what she will bring to the show…

Brides will have plenty to do – with Aveda’s VIP brides salon, vendors from throughout New England, and the fashion show you will be busy from noon to 5:00pm. With all this activity the Grooms will be well taken care of, too. The VIP Grooms lounge will be a wedding-free oasis: World Cup on your dream-sized TV, cigars, and a drink will get you through the wedding-focused day.

Our team is planning a great booth with more details to follow. Wherever you are in the wedding planning process, make plans to be here!

Seaport World Trade Center
One Seaport Lane
Boston, Massachusetts
