Berger Bat Mitzvah | Mitzvah Market Spotlight

 

What a great to surprise to open my email this morning and see that Sydney's Bat Mitzvah was highlighted on MitzvahMarket.Com today! I was introduced to the Berger Family by Ann Marie Casey when Sydney's brother Jacob celebrated his Bar Mitzvah at the National Constitution Center. So I was so delighted when Ann Marie was the photographer for this event Social Media Themed party. Some of the amazing photos she shot of the details are captured in the MitzvahMarket.Com spotlight - but here is a sneak peek of some of the table details!

And those are just the tip of the iceberg! The Please Touch Museum is the incredible venue where the party was hosted, On Q Productions did the Lighting and Draping, and Brûlée Catering served up amazing food from start to finish. And...as if that wasn't enough - check out this amazing intro film created for Sydney's entrance by CinemaCake!

Check out all of the other amazing details from the invitations to the cake at MitzvahMarket.Com - Thanks for the shout out MM!

Liberty View Ballroom | Independence Visitor Center

Spring has sprung and the Open House at Liberty View Ballroom was so much fun & has me in the mood for Summer! Before I jump the gun...here's a little taste of the evening and what this place has to offer! Brûlée Catering rolled out new menu items, Master Bakers showcased beautiful and tasty cake, Cuba Libre served up classic Mojito's! Thank you Ann Marie Casey Photography for capturing it all on Film!

 

 

Spring Open House | National Constitution Center

New engagements are in the air! We showcased at the National Constitution Center earlier in March where Ann Marie Casey Photography snapped these beautiful detail shots! (Thank You AMC!) If you haven't found the perfect venue yet - we are psyched to be at the Liberty View Ballroom Wednesday - check out this gem of a venue!
A little Seating Card Display:

 A little test drive for an upcoming wedding (and it was at the NCC!):

 Maybe a little Fall Inspiration - can't get over my love for these candlesticks:

 

 And who doesn't love a little Elephant Butt? 

If you missed this Open House come see us Wednesday!

Samantha and Lou | Le Méridien

I met Samantha and her mom way back in August at Le Méridien Hotel via Sofia Negron. If you haven't been there yet - grab a date and swing by for a cocktail. You will be in love. "Originally a YMCA, the hotel is housed in a 10-story Georgian revival-style structure with intriguing historical flair, located in the heart of the city's business district and less than one block from the Pennsylvania Convention Center."

Sam had some definite ideas as to what she liked; and what she didn't. I get along great with people who can make decisions - we were a match! That being said - she did have a very short "Must Have" list: Peonies. White. Barely cracked open. (Insert audible gasp from me!) Now, I love making dreams come true as much as the next designer - but promising a Spring flower in December is skating on thin ice. Crisis averted...slightly cascading, barely open - dream come true...Check!

We brought some color into the Bridesmaids with beautiful garden roses and light pink peonies

Sam and Lou were hitched and all was set at Le Méridien...each of the tables were a little different in design but all built withe the same floral types:tulips, hydrangea, roses and striking black candlesticks that picked up the curves and details of the room.

Sam and her mom collected all of these spent shot - 'cause they fit the color pallet and it's a nod to a sport Dad would appreciate.

Yep - Oreo Cake!

And then the fun really began!

Special thanks to Amanda Chrin from Le Méridien for making our job so easy! Sofia Negron captured so many more amazing shots than I can showcase here - check her out! And for hair that just wouldn't quit - Marcos Matos you are amazing! 

Congratulations Samantha and Lou - I loved being a part of your wedding!

Wedding Showcase at the National Constitution Center

Sofia joined me again for another Max and Me event last week. This time it was the winter edition of their Wedding Open House at the National Constitution Center.

These events are fun since it is such a collaboration. Max and Me work together with the NCC to decide on a color palette and they bring in all the linens, chairs, place settings etc. All the things that they can showcase from their packages that they both offer. Then Campbell Studios joins the fun and bring the ideas together with a floral table design that ties in all the elements. They like to do a display for each season - which is a little tricky since it's January & summer stuff is not in season. But I think a bold use of color gets the general idea across. When summer actually rolls around - I'll use local flowers that are in season...until then happy Gerberas will do nicely!

I got a lot of great calls and feed back from this event - so here are a few quick shots from Sofia (Thanks a million for hooking me up with such a quick turn around S!) - more to follow!
