Kara and Nick

Kara and Nick tied the knot October 10th at St. John the Evangelist in Philadelphia. Kara has such as beautiful sense of style that it was particularly exciting to work with her.

She designed all of the printed materials right down to the place cards. Here is the save the date which was inspired by all of the colors in her wedding party:

Since all of the attendants has a different color dress we tied them together with the bright green splash above and Kara's favorite flower - Alstroemeria. Yellow was the only color absent from the palette so all of the flowers followed suit.

Allebach Photography captured all of the moments from the day (there are just too many good ones...you can see more on the slideshow to the right!) Rachel and Mike are an amazing team. While they are known for their edgy style, you don't need to be a 'Tattooed Bride' or a 'Rock 'n Roll Groom' to hire them. These photographers have the innate ability showcase YOUR personal sense of style on your big day with their artistic touch. The Bridal party took over the Loews Hotel, as they walked down to the church for the ceremony.

Claudia Seyler was the stylist who did all of the hair and make-up for the gals. She is always so soothing to be around - I wish she would do my hair and make-up everyday!

The reception was held down the street at the PAFA Hamilton Building, another one of my favorite places. This venue was perfect for Kara and Nick - they are so creative and artistic, it matched their personalities to a "T"! I designed the seating card display as an interactive sculpture wall to showcase the individual hand made origami flowers that Kara (and her sister Christina!) labored over...with love of course!

Then the guests moved into the main dining room where they were seated at tables that each held a unique centerpiece. All the flowers were yellow, and designed with a modern twist which complimented both the bride and the art facility itself.

and here is just one of my 'favorite moment' photos...

Mt. Holyoke Reunion at the NCC

Mt. Holyoke celebrated its Alumni Event at the NCC this Fall on September 3oth. Sofia Negron captured the details of their event and then stuck around to record the memories. These gift bags each hosted a little herb plant that the guests can plant once they get back home.


And with a few touches added to the Buffets, the stage was set!

Liberty Medal Award - National Constitution Center 2008

On September 18, 2008 The National Constitution Center awarded Mikhail Gorbachev the 2008 Liberty Medal Award. Campbell Studios was the decorator for the Gala celebration.

Guests made their way up to the reception through arches we designed and fabricated ourselves, that were inspired by the iconic Kremlin spires and arches.

All of the designs were inspired by his Russian heritage from Garden of Peterhof, St. Petersburg to the Hermitage and the jewels in the Diamond Vaults of the Kremlin. Colors were saturated, containers decadent...

CSI at Jasna Polana

Sometimes team building can be fun - like when your company is hosting the event at Jasna Polana. This used to be the private Johnson & Johnson Estate, and the room where this dinner took place is actually the pool room! It has since been fitted with a floor - but the pool actually still exists! Some detective work huh? Speaking of which...this group had been having some CSI themed team building - so each table was designed in the team color...and in containers that would enhance their 'work.' Test tubes, magnifying glasses, beakers all added to the theme!
