It has been a busy few weeks here in my studio and offices. I always want to be on top of getting out the gorgeous photos from the weddings and parties that I work on, so you too can see how amazing some of these details are, sometimes writing the stories that go behind the photos comes a few weeks after.

I got the great chance to work with long time Rochester friends on the wedding of Mary and Barrett. It was so fun over the course of the year and a half planning out her details such as flowers, and menu, chit chatting about this escort card style and what type of table numbers should be laid out for the guests. As a wedding planner I always want the details to be beautiful AND reflect the personalities of the bride, her family and the groom. This wedding was just that. With a love for sailing and a backdrop of the Beverly Yacht Club and the groom's amazing sailboat as a backdrop for formal pictures it just all came together so amazingly well.

I first want to thank not only the staff on our floral and decor team but also our ever faithful staff at CMP transport and their late night efforts to get the bride's guests home safely. We rolled out the vintage Rolls Royce to transport the bride and the groom, a shiny ten passenger limo for the wedding party and our shiny town car for the parent of the bride. Seamless, effortless and gracious service. Thank you CMP Transport.

Of course it goes so well because of the incredible vendors that are involved with such an event. It was so my pleasure to call on Russ Morin and his fine team to deliver a world class meal by world class staff and the cake, the cake that they baked was literally one of the best morsels of food that I have ever had in my mouth.

And last but certainly not least to Lauren from Person and Killian Photography. Her photos which are showcased here in this story are just amazing. The weather was not working with us that day but she managed to get the photos out on the boat for the bride and did so with amazing work. She and I had such a good time chit chatting and styling bridal bouquet photos in the house while we were waiting to send the bride off to the church to be married.

I adore the movie "Pretty in Pink", who doesn't right ? When I started working with my very special client, Lucky Girl on celebrating her high school graduation, I knew that this would be a perfect opportunity to throw a party, that was fresh, flirty and elegant just like Lucky....filled with lots of pink accents.

The family has an amazing home for entertaining with terraces, verandas and sprawling lawns. My favorite, the pool house, with it's own kitchen and media room was the perfect VIP access only area of the party. What happens in the pool house stays in the pool house right? The grounds of this grand estate are filled with gorgeous roses and peonies all planted in pink in honor of this fabulous party and it's incredibly gracious young hostess. I love mounds of English garden roses and in shades of peony they provided the perfect pop of color through out the party. The perfect pink accessory to the party was of course Lucky in her short pale pink party dress which had such an elegant overlay of the finest lace.

I love any and every opportunity to hire and work with the very best in the industry. On this party, I knew that I just had to work with my very favorite catering team at Russell Morin. There have been too many, countless times that we have worked together to throw the very best in parties here on the south coast of Massachusetts and Rhode Island.

They, as always, were perfect in the planning process helping me and my client to come up with just the right choices for their guests. From the pink hued bar glasses to the staffs friendly faces, the got it so right, perfect in fact. I just have to say that my favorite was the cake, that the baker at Morin's created for us. Tipsy, topsy, and filled with fun patterns, it was a perfect accompaniment to the Coldstone Creamery ice cream station that was the absolute hit of the night.

It was so fun to have planned such an incredible party for this amazing family and their daughter, who I am happy and proud to say is one of my very good friends. The details could not compare to the fun that was had by all. I can hardly wait for the next celebration........where will lucky take CMP next?
