BABY'S BREATH

Okay, so the baby's breath thing isn't a completely new idea...but...I think that I've managed to find some blog posts over time that no one else has really blogged about, at least around our neck of the woods. Using an inexpensive bloom like baby's breath in bulk gives a huge impact...don't you think?? So ethereal! I literally have a whole file of images just like these, from modern to elegant to classic...email me if you want to see more!

Our friends over at Sedona Bride emailed us the three middle pictures...and well...those three pictures don't even scratch the surface of how beautifully they capture that wedding! I am endlessly in love with Sedona's Brides images and blog!!

COUTURE DRESSES...JUST FOR YOU

Photos found on Annlum Red's Site

One of my favorite things to do in my spare time is to be creative and I'm so lucky to be surrounded by so many awesome people in this industry!! I don't want to give away too many of the details, but in late February/early March I will be sharing an incredible inspirational photo shoot with all of you. One of my all time favorites is the brainchild of all of this...photographer extraordinaire Danny Weiss! So many incredible NYC vendors are working hard to put this shoot together, but I wanted to share a glimpse into one of them. Anna Zhu from Annlum Red. Anna is making the gown couture for the shoot. Yesterday we had a muslin fitting of the gown with our model...and well...I'm blown away! Ladies you need to run and meet with Anna in her midtown studio to create the wedding gown of your dreams! She also specializes in itty bitty's, mother of the bride, and bridesmaid dresses. When I saw the last picture, which is one of her designs/creations, I nearly fell off my chair! Anna painstakingly put this gown of over 3,000 hand made petals together in less than a month! OH...did I mention how sweet she is?!

GHOST CHAIRS



Photos found here

Every bride at some point PINES after one thing or another. With some brides it's paper, with others it's flowers. When I was a bride it was hands down ghost chairs. I tired to find a way to fit them into my budget...but...my venue came equipped with chiavari chairs so I just couldn't justify the high price tag. Whenever I replan my own wedding in my head ghost chairs are involved (YES! I have issues, and YES! this "so-called wedding" is budget-less). Check out what Taylor Creative INC is doing now to reinvent the already fabulous chairs!
