As the New Year starts out, I have begun to get a sense of peace and excitement about the creative projects that I will be lucky enough to work on as the year progresses. Of course, my team and I will be swirling around the best hotels in New England making pretty happen as we plan and design weddings. One of my favorite hotels, The Four Season's Boston will be the backdrop to a magnificent affair and wedding of my bride Jolie. She comes from a family that knows good things and understands quality and the process of couture. When Jolie first called me and hired me to plan and design her wedding, thoughts of Ginger Rogers swirled around in my head. I love Old Hollywood as an inspiration to a wedding. Black and white is always a crisp and stunning backdrop to the pops of red and embellishments of gold that will make up the design elements. As a special and unexpected touch, we will lay a wonderful black and white dance floor that nods to the old school looks that you might have found in the Stork Club in NYC during the 20's and 30's.

There are so many details to this wedding that there will be a second sketch showing the ceremony and the wonderful chuppah that we will create. Until then, enjoy this wonderful display of Old Hollywood Style with pops of red and gold.

Congratulations Jolie and Giovanni on your engagement. I am excited and grateful to be working with you both.
