Capries Wedding & Social Events

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.

{season} valentine’s day

{colors} cherry red, white and black

{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!

{season} valentine’s day

{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.

Words cannot describe the excitement with which I attended the Preston Bailey “Celebrations” Launch Party at the Armory!

What an amazing collection of the best in the industry and wonderful entertainment.  In addition to a wonderful array of desserts and passed hors d’oeuvres,by Oliver Cheng. There were two musical performances by Martha Wash of C&C Music Factory fame and Gloria Gaynor ( Who sang I Will Survive Live ! Quite  a rush).  The amazing lighting by Levy Lighting really set the tone for the hot and sexy vibe as did the beautiful decor.  Here are some pics from Guest of a Guest of the amazing event and Preston Baileys blog.  And although Preston Bailey is a superstar in the wedding industry he continues to be the most approachable and genuinely nice person I have ever met.  Just serves as a reminder that good things happen to good people and regardless of how talented  you are or how amazing you think your becoming nothing beats having people not only be fans but genuinely love what you represent.  Mr. Bailey stood at the entrance to his magnificent celebration and greeted everyone that came in, personally extending his hand and his embrace, dancing with his guests and enjoying the “Celebration” !

One of my all time favorite blogs is Design Sponge !

Now while this blog technically doesn’t have to do with weddings it really is a great source for out of the box inspiration on textiles, styling rooms and spaces and general do it yourself decor magic (though many times professionals are identified as well).

My husband thinks I’m crazy but I have this insane idea that one day I am going to flip properties in some southern state ( though I never plan on leaving NY, which makes this dream all the more unrealistic :0 ).  I love perusing thru all the posts on makeovers, gifts and general product finds.

Here are some pics from recent posts, Check out my favorite post this month of the offices of Inspired PR who work in the wedding industry !

Needless to say their office is definitely an inspiration !
