July 10, 1921 – August 11, 2009 she was a member of the Kennedy family and founded the Special Olympics in the 1960s as a national organization. Her husband, Robert Sargent Shriver, Jr., was the Democratic vice-presidential candidate in the 1972 U.S. presidential election. Shriver actively campaigned for her elder brother, U.S. President John F. Kennedy, during his successful 1960 U.S. presidential election. In 1968, she helped Ann McGlone Burke nationalize the Special Olympics movement.Maria Shriver Schwarzenegger honored her parents by replicating their wedding cake at her wedding.

The Most Important 2010 Weddings to watch.. Prince Harry and Ivanka Trump
Ivanka Marie Trump Engament to Jared Kushner and Prince William to Kate Middleton will be the two most influential weddings next year. It's going to be exciting to see the choices they make and how it influences the northeast brides.
Inspiration...Dorothy Draper
Born to a wealthy and privileged family in 1889, in one of the most exclusive communities in American history, Tuxedo Park, Dorothy Draper was the first to “professionalize” the interior design industry by establishing, in 1923, the first interior design company in the United States, something that until then was unheard of, and also at a time when it was considered daring for a woman to go into business for herself.
"The Harbor Room" one of the three rooms I'm designing for a Retro 1920's Wedding will be in her honor.
Black and white strips,damask,chandeliers and over sized lamps will capture her signature look.
What's a girl to do with all those left over Wedding Photos?

A Hometown Brew for your Welcome Bag
My Bride Molly came up with a great idea for her welcome bag, Coffee Syrup! Her Dad use to buy it by the case load when he left the state!
Coffee milk has become part of Rhode Island folklore and has received local, regional, and national media attention as a uniquely Rhode Island taste "sensation."
On July 13, 1993 coffee milk earned more than just the title of "hometown brew" when the State Legislature voted to make coffee milk the Official State Drink of Rhode Island.

Loved your Hoop Skirt video on YouTube
Dear Nancy,I loved your video on YouTube, but I'm wondering will you be making one along the lines of "how to avoid coming to grief when putting on your wedding dress over your hooped skirt without using a crane or similar mechanical device".
Or perhaps you might give me some tips if you've no plans to make such a video
Hugs
Stephanie
Dear Stephanie,
You will need maids,many maids... about 50 of them!
Best
Nancy
