This past weekend, my friend Chrissy at Coco’s Customs threw a spectacular event filled with nature goodies, rustic touches, and nautical flair. I had the pleasure of helping her out with a few details and designed some signs and paper goods for the event. The special day was held at the The Southward Ho Country Club in Bayshore NY and celebrated the wedding of Sara and Buddy, a couple who have already tied the knot months earlier, and were now partying it up with all their family and friends. It was a true success to say the least.

Ten23 Designs also helped out and designed the various decals and wood signs. Here are some photos from the event. Hope they bring inspiration your way. Enjoy!

A few months ago, I designed a wedding album and album box for Valerie and Aaron. I worked with Valerie on the project, which was a gift to Aaron for their 8th anniversary. It was such a pleasure creating this keepsake and I am happy I made a new friend out of the experience, as her and I still talk via email. She chose my digital linen album in olive green with ‘eyes wide open‘ embossed on the cover. The whole presentation, the album in the box, really looked beautiful and I am so thrilled they loved how it came out.

Their wedding took place on Aaron’s family estate in Minnesota. Filled with grassy plains and endless fields of wildflowers, it was a perfect place for them to share their vows and celebrate with all of their loved ones. There were many readings during the ceremony, all were beautiful, and tons of dancing during the reception. Needless to say, everyone had the time of their lives.

Here is little peek into their special day and the album I created. Enjoy!

Early this year, I had the pleasure of designing my first wedding album for an overseas event. Margaret and Stephen’s romantic wedding in Italy was simply stunning. Not only was it classic and elegant, the location added an enormous amount of rustic glamour you just don’t see everyday. The album was a gift from Margaret to her husband and she chose the fabric flush mount album from my modern collection along with a matching presentation box. Needless to say, it came out gorgeous.

All the amazing photographs were taken by Lelia Scarfiotti. Here is a sneak peek into their special day.

Last November I designed a parent album for Ginny and Mark to give as a gift to their family. I was excited to take a peak into their special day and absolutely loved the location and decor choices. The venue was the Carondelet House in Los Angeles, which is truly a beautiful space. It was built in 1928 and holds an immense amount of rustic charm. And I must say, Ginny did a fantastic job at designing and planning the event. It was so romantic and elegant. And their cake was gorgeous! I wanted to share a few spreads of the album, featuring the overall decor. Enjoy!
