Sofia is Shaadi Chic

I am such a bad blogger! I have been swamped with fun events, writing proposals and checking out fun new places. All great, but they all have distracted me from updating the blog - so here is a flurry of activity, all out of order I am sure!

I spent the past weekend with my friend and photographer Sofia Negron. She was taking part in a super cool wedding soiree called Shaadi Chic that was put together by Preeti Shah this past weekend. Preeti is the founding designer of Spotlight Style, an event management and design firm based in NYC. While this event was focused mostly on Indian weddings the multi-cultural blends were gorgeous. (As was Sofia's work - check out this photo from an album she was showcasing!)

Now, I did not have the pleasure of working this wedding with Sofia, but I did help with her trade show display. So off we were late Saturday evening to set this bad boy up and I got tucked in early AM. But it was all worth it. Not only did I have a super fun time hanging out with Sofia, but it always feels good to lend a hand to a friend! Great Job Sofia!

"Diana a Celebration" Opening Party

"Diana a Celebration" had a preview party at the National Constitution Center on 10.01.09 - and I was so excited. Not only did I get to work in one of my favorite places, with one of my favorite people (Ginger from Max and Me) but I got to be delightfully close to royalty. We made some simple classic little treats for the cocktail tables in mercury glass julep cups. Silvery Dusty Miller and white Hydrangea were jewels on the icy blue linens. A nod to the simply classic style that was behind the exhibit doors.

I thought of my friend Terry the whole time & am hoping maybe he can come up North to see if her train was as long in person as it is in my head!

Hurry, the show is only up until December 31st!

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!
