Valery and Eric's New York Chic Loft Post Wedding Party

This wedding was so much fun to design.

I used mid century, art deco, Asian, traditional and modern containers to create a hip urban shabby chic look for this white loft. The granite pin tucked linen gave it a very glamorous look.

Trey Chic!

Nancy Swiezy Events and Flowers at the Scully and Scully Bridal Event

Many Thanks to Micheal Scully and Marie Norton for inviting me to host the table top flowers at this Bridal Event.

My colleagues Jamie Baum of NYC Ensembles and Cynthia Peithman of Cakeline joined me to meet and greet the brides.

Its always a pleasure to work with such great talent!

A Bit about Scully & Scully
The oldest boutique in business on Park Ave. from 34th to 96th Sts., Scully & Scully, near the corner of 59th St., holds the top home-decor and decorative- objects collection in the country. Having just passed its 75th anniversary, the 10,000-square-foot, two-floor boutique is a treasure chest for those wanting to associate their home with timeless elegance.

While the store's strict policy is not to "sell and tell," sources tell us Jacqueline Onassis, Grace Kelly, European heads of state and first ladies all walked the aisles. Founded in 1934 by two married antiques dealers, the store has grown into one of New York's most respected home furnishing stores.

Scully & Scully is at 504 Park Ave., between 59th and 60th Sts. It's open Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. To order a catalogue, call (212) 755-2590 or go to Scullyandscully.com.

Astors' Beechwood Mansion - gives way to Vincent Astor townhouse in New York City

When bride Kamil Fulwood called me to help her plan a Newport wedding, Unfortunately the budget allocated just couldn’t make it a possibility. With a guest list of 50, I thought, she could have a Newport society style wedding in New York City. One of the private clubs on the Upper East Side would be the perfect solution for her. Kamli joyful expressed “Im a member of the New York Jr League!” Perfect! I said. So her Astor mansion wedding was booked in the form of an elegant high tea in Mr Vincent Astor's private town house. Highlights from the wedding are here at http://newportweddings.blogspot.com/2009/06/newport-affaire-in-city-of-new-york.html
