Monday Welcome!



Hello to Monday again! We hope you had a terrific weekend! Looking forward this week to sharing our thoughts (and hopefully yours!) on the recent wedding of HRH Prince William to Kate Middleton that took place this past Friday. Were you glued to the television as everyone in my house was?  Also this week we'll be discussing catering options when planning your big day, upcoming gown sales and lots and lots of inspiration. Have a great week!

Art: Ice Sculptures

Today we're going to talk about ice sculptures. I once dated a guy who was a chef for many years and when he got tired of it, he started an ice sculpture business. The work he did was amazing!Unfortunately--or should I say fortunately the relationship didn't work out (total jerk---long story) but it didn't stop me from appreciating the time and care it takes to create something from a block of ice. It really is truly an awe-inspiring art form. Here's some favorites courtesy of Inside Weddings.

Real Wedding: Sandy & Sonny {East Indian Inspiration}

It's always been a dream of mine to design an East Indian themed wedding. I was researching (as usual) and came across Sandy and Sonny's July 4-5, 2009 wedding in WedLuxe Magazine. I hope you find it as inspiring as I did. Enjoy!

For those of you that are planning a summer wedding, here's some wonderful ideas from a real wedding we found at Inside Weddings. 

This wedding is dripping in elegance! The silver and grey palate enhanced by whites and hints of yellow works well together. Perfect for an indoor and outdoor event. Beautifully photographed by Steve Hoffmann of Hoffmann Photographer.
