J & G | Deco inspired affair at the Four Seasons | Snap Photography

I love when I get to see the official photographer's photos......especially from this amazing art deco jewish wedding at The Four Seaons, Boston. Just had to share photos and a few words from my friends at Snap Photography. Thank you guys, amazing work!!!

It’s not every day that we suggest to the bride that we would like to take a portrait of her in the powder room. but then again, we don’t always find ourselves in such pretty powder rooms, thank you four seasons! i absolutely love the photo of jolie perched on the couch, she looks too lovely to be real. jolie and gio allowed plenty of time for photos so we were able to take advantage of all the fun furniture, art, and architecture of the hotel. thank you jolie and gio! i love the glamorous evening hotel weddings, everything is so sparkly and dramatic. speaking of dramatic, jolie’s stunning bouquet, florals, and event design were done by chad michael peters. how cool is the entry way for the ceremony processional? talk about setting the stage. coming up next in post 3? reception details galore and lots and lots of dancing!

The International flair and Flavor of the four seasons Miami

Update on 2012-06-26 18:01 by chad michael peters

I could describe calling a Four Season's hotel as calling Heaven itself. I would be doing them a disservice. The Four Season's hotels to me represent a standard that the world of service can always learn something from. From the moment that I set out from Wall Street on this creative endeavor, I knew that I will pay my dues to work in the five star arena and I am willing to do it to say that I have done a party or a wedding at The Four Season's Hotel.

I am lucky enough to know Four Season's hotels around the globe both working in them and lucky me, staying and being entertained at them. I know that I am always in for a delight, a surprise a welcoming that only comes with a mutual understanding that seeks to exceed the expectations of the guest. Like I said, they do it like none other.

All of this chatter leads me to this very exciting announcement. I will be hosting a party for both my company, clients and potential clients at The Four Seasons........(Oprah Voice) Miami!!!!!!!! Pinch me would you? Is this my life?

Last year while on business in Miami I was lucky enough to receive a VIP tour of this amazing property. Filled with artistic expression along with a modern (cutting) edge style that makes one feel right away that you are in the most eclectic and diversified city in the world. As I looked around the hotel, I immediately saw the similarities between this hotel and The Four Season's in downtown San Francisco. The art ruled the show at both amazing hotels and I could see the eye of the curator in both. Who would have guessed? Both franchises of The Four Seasons are owned by the same family. I could just tell.

The fact that they get that about me is the greatest form of flattery. I assure you that it will be hot in August for this very special editorial launch party. This may be the hottest invitation and party of the year.

I can tell you that The Four Seasons is on the list. Look out Miami, here comes CMP again.

A very special thank you to the entire collection of Four Season's Hotels. Our relationship has grown to one of mutual friendship over the years and I look forward to making the moments together, as special as can be for OUR clients. With much love, Always, CMP

CMP Decks the Halls at Alex and Ani December 17th

  

I am a fashion designer, not the fashion that you wear(yet), but the fashion that you look at. Color combinations, textures, fabrics and finishes all play a huge roll in the world of design, whether it is for the home, a wedding or an incredible Christmas event. I see the same principles being applied regardless. I personally love mixing it up, doing something a little different, outside of the box, yet in some way related and inspired by what I am currently doing.

The idea of jewelry to me has always been fascinating since I consider the floral work that I have done to be jewelry for the wedding table top. To fuse the world of hip jewelry with my design flair is exciting and I can hardly wait to create a showstopper for Alex and Ani this December 17th. You can see in my design that I am inspired by their designs and look forward to creating a magical evening.

Next week I head down to their corporate offices to discuss other potential projects.......you know my head is spinning, where will this little twist lead CMP to? 

Chad Michael Peters & Alex and Ani

 I have loved my friend Melissa, the now creative director of Alex and Ani, ever since we had our first meeting to discuss the planning of her wedding at a coffee shop in downtown providence. So many years and laughs have passed that it is hard to keep track. With her phone call today, it was clear that this holiday season I had to show off my fresh flower designs with the incredibly hip designs of Alex and Ani at their new Newport, Rhode Island Boutique.

"The Alex and Ani aesthetic underscores the idea that what is pure and natural is most beautiful and creating jewelry from recycled materials enriches the beauty of each piece.  Founder and creative designer, Carolyn Rafaelian embraces a philosophy that is based upon using eco-friendly, recycled materials made entirely in the United States.  Carolyn believes that by creating designs that support the environment and encourage social consciousness, consumers can use their purchases to make a difference in protecting our planet and our future.  Every design is created to reflect the inner beauty of all who wear an Alex and Ani piece".

I am sketching away with the gorgeous jewelry in mind and of course, can't wait to share with you both the holiday look for the store and this exciting evening. Not only will you get to see the new boutique, my flowers but there will be lots of specials and sales just in time for your holiday shopping........one last hint at a surprise, could this be the night that my first signature product is unveiled ? What do you think, chad michael peters for Alex and Ani?.....stay tuned, this could be big.

Please come and have a drink and meet me personally, of course I will be there with bells on. Alex and Ani is located at One Bowen's Wharf in historic Newport, Rhode Island. You can RSVP to the event by clicking here. I will be sure to post more as the details unravel.

Lucky Girl

 

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?
