The Process

I love the process of turning your wedding theme into a custom hand painted aisle runner. I am always so thrilled to watch it go from concept stage to completed runner.

The bouquet was composed of roses, peonies, and hydrangeas, and she wanted to surprise her daughter (the bride) with this wonderful gift for the ceremony. I immediately sent her a few drawings of these flowers in a… Continue

The weather was undecided last Saturday in New Jersey. It was foggy/rainy/sunny/cloudy... but luckily for us just overall good for when we needed it..or maybe Sabrina and Joe have strong connections up there and someone watching over them! Myself and the remarkable Robin Roemer had a pleasure to work with this cheerful and gorgeous looking couple! The Vera Wang part of it all is probably clear but where does 'Wild Rice' come into the…

When did you fall in love with him/her?

I was sitting here, sending off templates to my sister in law who is getting married this coming August, and I got to thinking...in the process of planning our weddings, often times, we get so wrapped up in the details and the complexities of the elaborate event we're preparing, and forget why we chose to say yes in the first place.



In keeping with my previous article, our husbands and our husband's to be, still need to be acknowledged as much as we do. And I wondered if I had to… Continue

Do you “need” wedding favors in this economy?

Brides are asking this question these days, and it’s an important one. My opinion is, if it’s a special and unique gift that people will actually keep and appreciate – then yes, they are worth it.

 I’ve never understood using “throw away” or edible favors. Isn’t the point to give your guests something special that they will remember your wedding by?



Earlier this year, we expanded our products from holiday bells to include wedding bells because we felt that this meaningful,… Continue

A Toast to the Happy Couple

A best man once said…”I've heard that a best man speech should be as long as it takes for the groom to make love...so thanks everyone, enjoy the night”



Why is a best man speech usually so much funnier than a maid of honor speech?



And now that rehearsal dinners are the mandatory pre-game event, there are entire nights dedicated to men trumping women. With rehearsal dinners popping up as often as Internet photos of Adam Lambert, we thought it was important to inform… Continue
