HAPPY TURKEY DAY WITH FLOWER SCHOOL

Photos: Saipua

I have so much to be thankful for this year, my loving husband (who puts up with me day and night), my adorable pup, family & friends, everyone I work with and all my wonderful brides that seriously become a part of my family! So much so that I'm even taking a calligraphy class with one of my brides next weekend...we are both totally obsessed with calligraphy!

It's no secret that I love weddings and all the talented people that make a wedding come together. One of the most important vendors (in my opinion) that you will hire is your florist! There are so many creative forces out there! I was reminded the other day (by one of my new brides- silly excited about her day!) how much I love the work of Saipua and Nicolette Camille. I've been wanting to attend their Little Flower School! I'd love to try and learn how to put together one of their lovely arrangements so that I can have beautiful fresh flowers in my home at all times...that are anything but ordinary!! This WILL be my next class...any takers?

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!

YORKIE LOVE!!

Sorry for the lack of posts this week. My computer suddenly went kaput. All is better now and I'm back up and running. I also promise to share pictures soon of some late summer and fall weddings I worked on...as soon as I get the images from the photographers.

In the meantime I thought I'd share a picture of a very special lunch date I recently had with my one of my favorite west coasters.

I LOVE MY JOB!

CALLING ALL PA BRIDES!!

My brides definitely spoil me! My beautiful bride Heidi and her equally beautiful mother in law Galina just sent me and my assistant the most generous gift baskets! The basket was filled with candles, lotions, shampoos, conditioners, shower gels, and massage oils...AND...a gift card for a massage, facial AND a spa pedicure!! As if that wasn't enough...I will receive a luxury gift item while at the spa. Seriously way to generous!

Galina is the co-owner of David J Witchell Salon and Spa. It's a renowned 14 thousand square foot salon and spa located in the heart of Historic Newton Pennsylvania. From the looks of the website and all the reviews online, David J Witchell is "The" place to go! Galina sent her team to NYC for Heidi's wedding and they blew me away!

So to all the PA girls out there that might be reading this...check out David J Witchell Salon and Spa! Thank you Heidi & Galina!!!

UPDATE!!! CHELSEA NICOLE IS OFFERING FREE TRAVEL FOR ALL 2010 NYC WEDDINGS! I HEART CHELSEA (AND JAYSE-HER ASSISTANT/BOYFRIEND) IN A BIG WAY!

Click here and check out this awesome link of one of my past couples. My tinie tiny pics on my blog can't do the images justice...so I decided to just link the post!! I'm in love with their TTD session, I'm in love with the photographer Chelsea Nicole, and I'm totally obsessed with the images that came out of this perfect union! Smooches to everyone in front and behind the camera! Here's the link again in case you didn't check it out the first time I said it. HA! HA!

WOWY! I'M A LUCKY GIRL!

You might be thinking, what do jeans have to do with wedding and events?? Well, I just came home to the best package ever...5 pairs of DL1961 Jeans...in just about every wash and cut! I swear I must have done something really good in my past life to be so lucky!

Heidi, my bride for this Saturday at Angel Orensanz, works in the denim industry and gifted me with all these jeans. I could never thank her enough...that was way too generous! I don't think I'll have to buy jeans for a VERY long time now!

Words can not express how excited I am for Heidi's wedding. It is going to be magical, whimsical and elegant (Melanie's words- the crazy talented florist for the event)! I am going to be so sad when the wedding is over. Heidi has been such a pleasure to get to know and I'm beyond honored to share in the celebration.

TOO DELICIOUS
