Inspiration .... Cameos

I have loved Cameos since I was a little girl.
My Father gave one to my Mother as a engagement gift.
So when Pam chose this cake design for her wedding it triggered this article.

Would you wear a paper Wedding Dress?

I was visiting with Mari O'Connor in New York City this week. She's creating this dress for a event for a 100 year old Hotel.

Kudos Mari,,, It's Amazing!

Real Wedding Deb and Bret Miami FL

For an event planner, this was a simple wedding to produce, but for me, this was a very special wedding for a very important friend. Debra has been my advocate, friend, and sister. She holds a “C” level title on my personal Board of Directors.
Her wedding had to be perfect.
Beautiful linen napkins, South American orchids that emulated the colors of New England's fall foliage. Her wedding cake had a hit of Silvia Weinstock's glamour and a bit of Chanel's quilting. The reception was “At Home” in her beautiful condo complex restaurant. Her Chef did a lovely job creating comfort food for her family members and friends.
We all dance the night away!

Advice From A Newport R.I. Wedding Planner... Should I have printed paper napkins?

NO.

Your wedding is not a fast food restaurant.




If you are going to do this keep it to a
monogram, quite small and tasteful.
It's a lovely keep sake and can be "regifted" to your wedding party after the wedding. And yes its green!
There is nothing better than a real linen napkin at a wedding!

Off to Miami !

Debra and Bret will be married this Saturday. We are so looking forward to this weekend Wedding.

Molly and Gabe's Jamestown R.I. Wedding Celebration

Here are a few highlights from the reception!
It was a perfect night for a perfect couple!

The Tent is Preset, Acorn Hunting, and Chic Napkin Folds!

Molly will alternate the knot and double roll napkin fold for her tables.



The perfect setting was found surrounded by 10 cedar trees.






















With the tent up, dance floor and tables set, we are ready to rock and roll for the Wedding on Sunday!
It was a long fun and productive day in Jamestown!

It was "Harry Meet Linda" thru Wendy!

Linda and Harry's Maid of Honor stopped by Jamestown today Via Facebook!
They were able to catch up before the wedding.
If it wasn't for Wendy, well Molly and Gabe's Wedding....
Let's just call it destiny.
It was Love at first sight thanks to Wendy!

Every Thing Old Is New Again!

Being green can be about recycling great old things. So the groomsman's gifts Gabe and Molly choose for the "Best Gents" were made from recycled typewriter keys.

Song By Peter Allen and dance by Ann Reinking in "All That Jazz"
One of my favorite songs!

Seating Charts

I found this fun product for setting up a seating chart.
FYI... It does not allow for table spacing so check with your venue to make sure you have not gone over the venues capacity.

A Green Vintage Wedding this weekend in Jamestown and Newport

Molly and Gabe's wedding is this weekend and it's going to take a village to get them married!

So many wonderful parents, friends and family have helped out with the wedding.

It's going to be a "Lovefest"!

I have been looking forward to this wedding and am so glad to have the opportunity to be at this wedding!

"What didn't you think of !" Said one of Pam's Guests as she left her wedding at Castle Hill Inn

For us, one of the most memorable parts of our wedding day was at the conclusion of our event. As each and every guest left for the evening they stated how perfect everything was and that we truly thought of everything. What a great compliment! And we could not have accomplished that without the help of Nancy.

Our wedding was a destination wedding. So hiring a wedding planner was critical for us in order to find the best vendors, in the shortest amount of time in Newport, RI. We wanted to hire someone who was going to help make the process fun, less frustrating and defiantly less stressful. Nancy took the time and patience to listen to all of our ideas, she added in her expert opinion and together we created a wedding celebration that surpassed our expectations. We were able to relax and enjoy every moment of our wedding day knowing that all of the details were being taken care of by Nancy, someone we trusted to tend to every detail and then some. No words seem enough to express our appreciation for all of her help with our wedding. We were so thrilled with how everything turned out.

Nancy was truly an invaluable part of our wedding celebration and we could not have planned such a special and memorable wedding without her help.

Thank you,
Paul and Pam

No Thank You Pam,Paul and my very special helper Dillan!
