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.

A Great Find in Champagne


The Greatest Find in Champagne

Totus Tuus is the greatest quality/price sparkling wine in the world. This is the first Spanish "traditionnelle methode" that I have tasted over the last three decades that is reminiscent of a well balanced Champagne. From the density of its bubbles to the depth and clarity of the nose to the weight and gentleness of the taste. Pure, clean and refined. A true find.

About $22 a bottle

The Secrets to a White on White Newport Wedding



















The Royal Wedding That Started Bridal White!

Queen Victoria’s dress was of rich white satin, trimmed with orange flower blossoms. The headdress was a wreath of orange flower blossoms, and over this a beautiful veil of Honiton lace, worn down. The bridesmaids or train-bearers were also attired in white. The cost of the lace alone on the dress was £1,000. The satin, which was of a pure white, was manufactured in Spitalfields. Queen Victoria wore an armlet having the motto of the Order of the Garter: "Honi soit qui mal y pense,” inscribed. She also wore the star of the Order.

The lace of Queen Victoria’s bridal dress, though popularly called Honiton lace, was really worked at the village of Beer, which is situated near the sea coast, about ten miles from Honiton. It was executed under the direction of Miss Bidney, a native of the village, who went from London, at the command of her Majesty, for the express purpose of superintending the work. More than two hundred persons were employed upon it from March to November, during the past year.

The lace which formed the flounce of the dress, measured four yards, and was three quarters of a yard in depth. The pattern was a rich and exquisitely tasteful design, drawn expressly for the purpose, and surpasses anything that has ever been executed either in England or in Brussels. So anxious was the manufacturer that Queen Victoria should have a dress perfectly unique, that she has since the completion of the lace destroyed all the designs. The veil, which was of the same material, and was made to correspond, afforded employment to the poor lace workers for more than six weeks. It was a yard and a half square.

Hurricanes And Weddings Whats A Tented Newport Wedding to do?


With Hurricane Earl apon us, all weddings must have a Plan B in place. Bad weather is simply a "Act Of God".

What is your contingency plan going to be?

Beware tent rental companys will not set up your tent if it looks as if the weather could do damage to the tent,the venue or the staffs safty.

I always have a second venue in place, just in case.

Do you?
