It is a cruel April 1st!

Quick Pics from the Independence Visitor Center Wedding Open House | 3.16.2011

Thank you so much for inviting Campbell Studios to the open house last night! Michelle (Max and Me Catering) and Roshni (Liberty View Ballroom) introduced me to some very lovely people with upcoming floral needs! Ann Marie Casey was there (and on twitter now too @annmariecasey) so I can't wait to see her take on the tables. More details to follow when the images are available!

(This one was my favorite...)

Yep, there's those gorgeous Kramer Drive printed materials again - yet 

they look so different with this combo!

Independence Visitor Center Wedding Open House | 3.16.2011

One of Philly's best kept secret venues, The Independence Visitors Center (IVC) is having a wedding showcase this Wednesday from 6-8 PM in the Liberty View Ballroom! Michelle from Max & Me Catering and Roshni from the IVC are an amazing team. Come join us and see what this gem has to offer! Great views, perfect location and fabulous food!
Campbell Studios will be decorating four tables: Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall so you can imagine the room with decor. The centerpieces will be designed to suggest the possibilities, and while maybe a little over the top there should be an element of inspiration for you to take away with you. If you see something you like - we can set up time to design something that suits your personal sense of style!
It's not too late to RSVP; email Roshni Patel to join in the fun: RPatel@independencevisitorcenter.com

Photos from the NCC 3.11.11 Open House!

Thank you to Studio Nine for capturing some shots of the table settings and flowers last week! I did a little extra table dressing this week with my favorite invitation design studio Kramer Drive. I had the inspiration to add teh printed materials a little late in the game but Meg and Ashley did not disappoint! They provided all of the coordinating Table Numbers, Seating Cards and Menu Cards. So lovely! Thank you!

The National Constitution Center gave everyone tours, Max and Me served up tasty treats, Isgro Pasticceria had sample wedding cakes and Advanaced Staging showcased the power of lighting!

Adrienne and Dennis | Photos!

I was catching up with Adrienne last week and she shared the news that she and Dennis are expecting! I am so glad we got a little time (and some photos!) before the little one arrives! Adrienne was a super sweet bride, she is pretty crafty, and had a very clear idea of her centerpieces vision. So it was a delight to build on her ideas and create her bouquets for her. {We spent so much time catching up that I forgot to ask who took these great photos...as soon as I know - I will be sure to share!}

I Love Presents! And cookies, and cake and...

...if Cinemacake wasn't so good a making Films, they could go into PR! I picked up the mail yesterday - which is usually kinda sad...bills, junk mail, you know what I mean. But there was a little package this time. Hmm. I don't know anybody in Chalfont. So imagine when I cracked that baby open and two of my favorite things were inside - Pastry and Cinemacake!

That's right - a little treat from Dave and Sheryl. Perfectly formed, not a single one broken, with each of our logos on it Butter Cookies!

Now, as a company with 'cake' (another one of my food groups) in their name - you might have thought I would have said they should be Bakers. But they would have had to duke it out with Kim at Park Avenue Pastries. And really - if we all just let people do what they do best, the world would be a better place. Kim is amazing. Great ideas, great sense of style and most important - tasty (cookies that is!) There is information on her website regarding the fresh factor and it is suggested that we "enjoy them within two months of receiving them." I practically fell off the couch laughing, but another one of those buttery treats would have been in jeopardy - no way these babies are making it through the weekend!

Thank you Dave & Sheryl. Always a pleasure! Thank you Kim, I look forward to working with you soon!

Friend Us on Facebook!

Ok, so we finally gave in and wow Betty White is right - what a time burglar! But we need your help if we are going to get our user name! So check out our Campbell Studios Events Wall and see what we have been up to!

Save the Date: AMC Youth Planning Showcase | 3.13.2011

I met Ann Marie Casey at Jacob Berger's Bar Mitzvah and we have been running into each other a lot lately! She was the families photographer for the day (check out the event!) I am so excited that she invited me to be a part of her first Youth Planning Party on March 3, 2011 from 12 to 3 p.m. at her new studio space in Ardmore. Giant Bridal/Mitzvah Expo style events just aren't my style and I 'm glad to report not Ann Marie's either. So when she proposed this low key, meet and greet where talented vendors can share what they do with anyone interested in checking us out I was in! I hope you are to, RSVP today to AMC (610) 642-1890. There is free parking, Free Admission and some rockin' door prizes to boot!

I am going to be in great company too. In addition to Ann Marie showcasing her great new space and fabulous body of work we will be joined by: Invitations of Distinction, Z Event Group, All Around Entertainment, Bredenbeck's Bakery! Come check us out!

Winter Showcase at The Please Touch Museum | February 24, 2011

I love working at the Please Touch Museum and we are pleased to announce they are having their Winter Open House on  February 24, 2011! It's not just for kids - Hamilton Hall is gorgeous for a wedding reception and cocktails in the Carousel Room are stunning!. Come check out the venue this Friday and check out the decor possibilities. RSVP to Kim@maxandmecatering.com. See you there!

John and Nora

Here are some delightful images that have come in for John and Nora. John had so many sweet surprises...Nora loves her dogs and one of the little guys was part if the big day. He surprised Nora by bearing the band of gold!

 

I got the above images from the Bride and Groom - but I do believe the Photo credit goes to the very talented Spark Photography! Check out other weddings we have in common or more of their work at: http://www.sparkphotography.com

Stacie and Zach | October 23, 2010 Update Pictures!

Stacie and Zach got their pictures back and shared a few...they had so many great details! They picked this community garden for their "first look." So appropriate since all of their inspiration images during our consultation were fruit, veggies and shots they took from a Farmer's Market!

Stacie had a sweet little secret note for Zach to kick off their day - and then they were swinging...literally! Zach is so swank and Mad Men like!

Stacie knew she wanted bright green Fuji mums for her bridesmaids, so we built on that and her aubergine color pallet - I added a touch of Rosemary to her bouquet for a bit of good luck. It has been used as a symbol of remembrance and fidelity in weddings for centuries....and so it continues.

The ceremony and reception were at the NCC, and they walked in to wine and moss toned linens, with centerpieces that were practically built from the Farmer's Market!
