Bridal Market | Rivini Spring/Summer 2014 preview | Video of final walk

Hello Lovelies!

Can you believe all these amazing gowns that walked the runways this weekend?! It was amazing to be right there and see all the new designs for the Spring/Summer 2014 collections. Rivini's collection was inspired by a trip to the Riviera Maya and is appropriately themed Return to Paradise. The incredible shades of coral, seashells, sand and mother of pearl inspired the designer to create a line that reminds her of the of the warmth and sunshine of being surrounded by the ones she loves.

We could definitely feel the love and warmth from this collection as it walked down the runway. We loved the beachy inspiration on the dresses, with fabrics that looked just like seashells and details that looked like beautiful crystal coral!

Enjoy!

Amanda + John's Bridgehampton, NY Engagement Shoot

Hello Lovelies!

Today I am featuring this beautiful engagement shoot submitted by Chowen Photography. Here is more from the photographer: We had the pleasure of spending the day with Amanda and John at John's family summer home located in Bridgehampton, NY. Our shoot bounced around through vineyards, South Hampton Beach, and the original site of the proposal. At the end of the day they made martinis and spent some time on the house deck watching the sunset. They are great and Amanda has a lot of passion for the upcoming wedding day. She would make for a great interview. These two met during their last week of school at Boston University and are getting married in NYC on August 23, 2013 at The Metropolitan Club, NYC.

This movie is going to be a great addition to this upcoming wedding season. With an all-star cast led by Robert De Niro, Katherine Heigl, Diane Keaton, Amanda Seyfried, Topher Grace, with Susan Sarandon and Robin Williams, THE BIG WEDDING is an uproarious romantic comedy about a charmingly modern family trying to survive a weekend wedding celebration that has the potential to become a full blown family fiasco.  To the amusement of their adult children and friends, long divorced couple Don and Ellie Griffin (De Niro and Keaton) are once again forced to play the happy couple for the sake of their adopted son's wedding after his ultra conservative biological mother unexpectedly decides to fly halfway across the world to attend. With all of the wedding guests looking on, the Griffins are hilariously forced to confront their past, present and future - and hopefully avoid killing each other in the process.

Ali + Mark's Black & White Wedding | A Real Wedding at St. Patrick's Cathedral and Le Parker Meridien

Hello Lovelies!

Today I am featuring a wedding that took place in the breathtaking St. Patrick's Cathedral with the reception held at Le Parker Meridien. Don't you just love the crystals and feathers!?

After a beautiful ceremony at St. Patrick’s Cathedral the couple and guests exited the church to the serenading of a solo saxophone player. Guests were then shuttled to Le Parker Meridien where the cocktail hour was held in the penthouse pool area featuring an open bar and a singer crooning jazz standards.

CUE executed an open, modern design in the Estrela Penthouse. Guests discovered their names on escort cards of delicate paper that had been hand-crafted into feathers amid a bed of black faux crystals arranged on white linen. The back of the table was lined with cylinders featuring pillar candles of varying heights. For a touch of opulence, a black rococo mirror was set above the table providing a gentle glow of reflected candlelight. Sheer white drapery covered the Penthouse ceiling in an intricate criss-cross pattern. Each column in the penthouse was enveloped in a layer of sheer white voile lending the room a romantic air. Round dinner tables were draped in white linen and set with black napkins for contrast with hand painted table numbers on black stock set in white resin frames. Each table also boasted a dramatic black, crystal draped candelabra. As a final touch, the room was filled with frosted white votives.
