First, let me apologize for the long lag in between inspiration boards! I’ve been so busy and this one has been sitting in photoshop for a long time.
I was inspired to do this board by an email I received from Crate & Barrel last month, advertising some of their new fall products! I saw these…
I love everything about Kansas City’s Lilah Paper. I found Kalyn through Style Me Pretty’s little black book many months ago and we have become e-friends rather quickly. Her style is very fresh with a bit of vintage. I really think it is uniquely her own! She recently designed these gorgeous invitations for a destination event…

I’ll admit it — prior to signing up for my twitter account I thought “twittering” was a waste of time. What’s the point, I thought? Well, I still don’t know the full answer to that question. What I DO know is twitter keeps me fully locked into my family, friends, and colleagues whereabouts and general…
There was a lot of yummy food on display at BizBash by some of Manhattan’s top catering companies. We got to sample a variety of signature drinks, chocolate confections, and petite appetizers. The main trend? Food as art.

I attended BizBash in Manhattan a little over a week ago with my friend Simone from 5 Sense Events (read her blog, too!). We had such a great time lugging around our 50 pound bag of marketing material (seriously, my shoulders and neck hurt for days!) and we got to interface with a lot of talented and unique…

As some of you may have heard, the historic Goodwin Hotel in downtown Hartford is closing at the end of this year. I’m so upset at the loss of the only boutique hotel in Hartford and hope that something will transpire between now and then to allow the hotel to remain open.
I just got off…

So, whats the…

It is an exciting weekend for this event planner — our save the dates went into the mail! I wanted to share them with you as they were designed and crafted by yours truly. I went back and forth several times with the idea of creating them myself. I certainly have the means and tools…
I had the great pleasure of meeting a few insanely talented people at the Wedding Salon in Manhattan last week. My favorite of the day was Holly from Teardrop weddings. I’ve admired her work for as long as I’ve been subscribed to her blog – a long time! It was a great pleasure to meet her…
I’m out of the office today because I’m spending some time in Manhattan for BizBash, an annual conference for wedding and event planners. It should be fun!

On Wednesday I attended The Wedding Salon in Manhattan and while there, I met the lovely ladies behind Adorn Brides. I hadn’t heard of the company before our meet and greet, but the concept behind the company has been around for awhile. Adorn Brides lends fabulous jewels to brides for their wedding day and they are…

A little about us:
