Going Green

March 28, 2007

Everywhere you look these days, people are talking about ‘going green.’ It’s in every magazine, television advertisement, and grocery store aisle. It has also spilled over into the world of weddings (in fact, I was standing in line at the grocery store and saw a magazine that said one of the soap operas is ‘planning’ a green wedding with The Knot).

We have found some amazing products for those brides who are looking for ways to include this oh-so-important trend into their big day. There are containers that have been made from recycled paper, colorful glass vases that are made from recycled materials, and favor boxes that are made from 100% recycled paper products.

We are working on a ‘green‘ idea for the Paul Labrecque event April 16, 2007 in NYC. If you haven’t signed up, be sure to call Jessica Steinman at the salon. You don’t want to miss out on a great evening of fun, fabulous ideas, and terrific vendors.

Brunch with a legend

February 5, 2007

A legend….

I was one of 35 people who had the special honor of having breakfast with Preston Bailey (he is adorable and so handsome!) last week in Holyoke, MA. He spent the day with some of us from ABC (Association of Bridal Consultants) in hopes of helping us prevent some of the very mistakes he has made during his star-studded career.

Ever the gentleman, he wasn’t afraid to weigh in with his opinions on different business questions we had for him. Getting to hear the do’s and don’ts, the successes and failures , and to see the highlights of his design ideas was amazing. Later that afternoon he gave a presentation showcasing his most recent work in his new book ‘Inspirations.’ He had some humorous anecdotes and some truly wild tails to tell. Even the master has not finished a job on time as guests were walking through the door (something he said is a BIG don’t). The point of his lecture was that in our business of dreaming up different things for clients, sometimes you occasionally have ideas that are bigger to pull off than you could have ever imagined. You just have to keep moving forward and keep a positive attitude. I think we can all take something away from that and apply it to our daily lives.

Best wishes,

Dawn

A little sunshine…

February 5, 2007

A little sunshine….

We’re back from L.A.– and it was FABULOUS!!! My mind is in overdrive after seeing so many things. From the latest color trends, to the hip new containers (it’s not about the glass cube anymore!), to the fabulous new colors in linens, I can’t wait to start working with our 2007 brides. There are so many dynamic things out there, and you are all going to have lots to choose from.

I have to say one of the biggest highlight of the trip was getting to tour the L.A. flower market. It is huge! 4am is an early wake-up call, but it was well worth it. Everything under one (well, two) big roof. You can’t help but be inspired. Spring is one of my favorite times of year as you have all the spring bulbs and vibrant colors to choose from for designs. Ranunculas with their showy petals, tulips with their graceful bending stems, hyacinths and their delicate fragrance, I could go on and on. Here are some pictures from the market.

Enjoy!
