Some couples have a specific theme for their wedding—a time period like Art Deco, a flower like the Cherry Blossom, or a season like fall. In this case the venue, invitations, decor, flowers and attire generally fit with the theme, however, a theme doesn’t have to be this specific. Many people come in for our first meeting saying they don’t have a theme and I tell them they do—they just don’t realize it yet. Read the rest of this entry »
I’m certainly accustomed to hearing “please do not use, carnations, gladiolus, mums, and leather fern!” But I have learned that every flower has its purpose, and if designed right, is magnificent. Read the rest of this entry »

Most mornings as soon as I log into work I’m inundated with a gazillion e-mails. Okay, maybe inundated is the wrong word choice, as I actually do enjoy sifting through them–sans the fact that it takes up my whole morning. Of those half are e-newsletters that I’ve subscribed to over the past few years, and for some reason just don’t have the heart to unsubscribe (or I’m too lazy to click the unsubscribe button–I know it’s a bad habit). However, one e-mail that I do look forward to reading is Vera Wang‘s e-newsletter. Read the rest of this entry »
Event planner and floral designer of New York City-based floral design company, The Daily Blossom, Saundra Parks is a renowned style-maker and has worked for some of the biggest names out there including Oprah, Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Mariah Carey, and Barbara Walters. Having created lavish V.I.P. hip hop events to intimate celebrity parties and even special home deliveries, Parks knows what works and what doesn’t. Recently I had the chance to ask her to give us her top tips for selecting florals for your big day.

One of my all-time fave stationery companies Baron Cards just released their latest collection for 2009! I was so inspired by their newest creations that I immediately asked Lianne from Baron Cards to e-mail her designs over so that I could share with you all. I love their creative board displays, which showcases how they incorporated different elements (colour swatches, fabrics and photos) together to create one gorgeous invite. Thanks Lianne for these inspiring invitation boards. Ooh, and did I mention that they’re all eco-friendly?
