I know I am a little behind on this amazing news but it has been a busy busy season so far !
As soon as I heard Miriam Haskell had teamed up with J Crew for their bridal jewelry I knew to expect greatness.
” The two companies have partnered to create a line of limited-edition jewelry to complement the J.Crew bridal collection.
Trading on Miriam Haskell’s history as a couture costume jeweler, the J.Crew collection draws inspiration and details from some of her vintage pieces.
These ornate, handmade-to-order pieces are as special as a bride wants to be on her big day. The materials used include baroque glass pearls, crystal rose montees, Swarovski crystals, gold-plated filigrees, and vintage materials taken from the Miriam Haskell archives.
These pieces range from the most ornate — a floral spray that hangs from a graduated triple strand of pearls for $1,400 — to understated, single pearl and crystal strands that range from $180 to $260, depending on their length.
Bracelets, brooches, and earrings round out the offerings, ranging in price from $150 to just under $1,000.” ( Compliments of StyleList.com )
Loved these inspiration boards from postcards and pretties, my fave is the retro valentine and the country valentine !
{season} valentine’s day
{colors} vintage white, rose water, twine
{description} this is my kind of valentine inspired wedding. it’s both romantic and casual and i’m simply in love with twine. i’ve kept the board pretty pale with the soft whites and cream with sweet rosey pink accents.
{description} i don’t know what it is about cherry red that makes me think of retro. for today’s board i wanted to be taken back in time. it has a bit of a pleasantville-feel with the volume turned up…way up!
{description} for today’s board i was inspired by the heart-shaped chocolate box that is quintessential to valentine’s day but with more of a romantic feel with warm chocolate browns and soft rose and pearl accents.
So last night I was in power work mode and starting going through all of my things I love files and came across this Christian Oth (Shot by Michael Falco) wedding featured on Style me Pretty. I seriously started daydreaming and got lost in the images. I loved it months ago and fell in love with it all over again ! The design was so vibrant and beautiful I could not stop looking at them.
In our second stop of the day West Park Winery. A true winner and the one we ended up choosing it had all the prerequisites, Different (Check !), Uncultivated ( Check !) Ceremony and Reception in both places (Check !) and a clean slate to make their own.
We have so many great plans for the space, here are some pics I was able to take today and check out this flickr album for clearer shots of the beautiful outdoor grounds.
In the search for the perfect venue, one of our 2010 couples and I started visiting venues a bit past Westchester. After ruling out Round Hill, Monteverde, Catlin Gardens and Crossed Keys. We went together to visit Hammon Museum and Japanese Garden ( which the couple had previously visited. The Hammond is a great mix of modern ( with a art gallery entry way) and a great Japanese garden and tea house. I absolutely loved the space and even though the couple did not choose it, I got so many ideas as we walked through the garden. Definitely recommend it for those of you looking for a garden wedding with a contemporary twist.
Hello Readers, This is Alba one of the members of the Capries Events Team ! I will be guest blogging from time to time as we leave Wedding Season and enter into Engagement Season. It’s only fair that my first blog reveals something personal about me, and I am here to confess, where I come from ( more on that on a later post) on your wedding day there’s no such thing as Something Old, Something New and SOMETHING BLUE but I have grown to love this tradition. That said I think my first blog will be dedicated to your shoe options for SOMETHING BLUE… Whether it’s the infamous Manolo’s Carrie Bradshaw made us fall for, a pair of ballet flats, your options are unlimited.
Yesterday we had the most amazing day, super sunny, semi-warm breeze, ok it was pretty cold… but the guest braved the weather to see our couple Shung and David tie the knot in the beautiful Linden Terrace of Fort Tryon Park. Their reception immediately followed at the New Leaf Cafe with cocktails in the main dining room and dinner and dancing in the tented area outside. By far one of the happiest groomsmen I have seen to date. They were so genuinely happy for their friend they spent the night singing sings, slinging jokes and by the end of the night propping each other up . All in all it was a great day ! Below are some pics I was able to grab while we were running around, can’t wait to see what Jeff of Jeffrey Lau Photo sends me.
So I was sitting here planning this years family Halloween costume ( yes, I like for all of us to be a team theme, corny but I love it!) and I started to think about couples who take Halloween and make it a Wedding. Now normally I cringe at the thought but after doing a little research I found some pretty cool looks. Not what I would pick but hey if its what your into you might as well have fun with it.
I think this is an Amy Atlas Table, but I can’t find the credit anywhere ! if anyone knows please leave me a message!
One of our new favorite locations and favorite weddings!
Here is a sneak preview, all photos unless otherwise noted are property of the talented Sarah Slaboda.
Logistically a bit traumatizing at first glance ( there are no cars allowed on Fire Island !), but in the end all bode well and we had an awesome time with the couple and the guests. A lot of walking for sure… Congratulations Ilana and Jonathan ! Can’t wait for a return trip to Fire Island next season.
