Take a sneak peek at a Gatsby Inspired Wedding we styled at a 1920s Mansion Estate. The wedding did not have a seated dinner at all. Instead the whole event was one grand cocktail party. Such a cool idea.
Calligraphy was done by MJ Paperie and flowers were done by Kat Flower
We can't wait for the pics from Weddings by Two!
In August we were excited to partner with Gabriella New York Bridal Salon for The Cream Event! We created a fun and dynamic setting to showcase their dresses.
Styling was done by RPS Events!
When it comes to veils... style is everything. At Sara Gabriel Veiling, her pieces are romantic and feminine with tons of variations to choose from. Below are four of my favorite styles for various reasons.
This is a very 1950's inspired look with fresh water pearls that add feminine details.
This french net blusher veil with a silk organza flower is both sassy and elegant.
The gathering on this pout blusher is soft and complements any dress style with its simplicity.
This is a fabulous and multifunctional veil that can be a blusher for the ceremony, and a hairpiece during the reception. With this one you get the best of both worlds.
xoxo, Jordyn

Having trouble finding a unique wedding jewelry? Catbird is a lovely store in Brooklyn that specializes in unique, delicate pieces. Their shop is warm and inviting, and somehow they squeeze the work of over thirty jewelry designers into their teeny space.
Here are a few of my favorite wedding bands from their online store.
Catbird Heart Ring
Satomi Kawakita Starry Night band
Yayoi Forest Knot Ring
And one for the guys...
Carla Caruso Blade of Grass ring
Catbird also has a great blog. Last year, they posted one of the cutest things to ever hit the internet: The Little Thief
Happy shopping!

I know that people say not to judge a book by its cover, but I totally form opinions of people based on their websites, and so I know that Angelica Glass is a total rockstar. This is her landing page:
And just wait until you check out her blog! So not only does she have a cool website, but she is also an awesome photographer with a spunky style. She was kind enough to let me post one of her fabulous weddings for you with a model worthy couple and some sure to make you jealous pictures. Here are some of my faves from Rachel and Brad's wedding.
WOW. I know. And here is where it all happened.
Aren't these cupcakes adorable?
So completely gorgeous! To see more about Angelica and her work, click here.
The wait is over, and The Aisle New York started it's first sale yesterday! Here is a peak at the new site:
The Aisle New York is a new Gilt style member's shopping site that offers time and quantity limited sales on high-end designer bridal gowns. The first sale runs through January 9, but quantities and sizes are limited so there is certainly an incentive to buy quickly if something catches your eye! Unlike a sample sale, the site does offer the option to return if you purchase their "return insurance," so the shopping is risk free and the discounts are certainly worth it. The Aisle started their sale with strong bridal brands Monique Lhuillier, Angel Sanchez, Elizabeth Fillore and Oscar de la Renta accessories.
Check out this stunning Monique Lhuillier Edie Gown at a deep discount:
Retail price: $4,840.00 The Aisle New York Price: $2,899.00
And this Angel Sanchez Silk Trumpet Gown:
Retail price: $6,380.00 The Aisle New York price: $3,190.00
The discounts are as impressive as the site promised, and as an extra bonus, the site and the designer's will be giving a portion of the sales from each dress to charity for an all around good deal. Go and check them out!
Ladies go check out the new Douglas Hannant collection for 2011 at Gabriella Bridal this weekend, and score a 10% discount!

Gabriella Bridal is also having a Helen Yarmuk trunk show this weekend offering 10% discounts on their line of fabulous furs and jewelry. You do need an appointment to try on the Douglas Hannant dresses, but you do not for the Helen Yarmuk accessories. For more information go to Gabriella New York.
New crush: Thread Design. We got a behind the scenes peak into their office right before their pop-up shop got underway. Come on in and we'll show you around!
Go ahead and take a seat and get comfy, because there is lots to tell about Thread, and we got an all access pass. Thread dresses evoke a hip, fashionable, modern sensibility, and everything else about Thread fits right into that branding. They turned their office into a showroom for their pop-up shop last weekend, and believe me it is a gorgeous place to work. If they were renting out desk space, I would be the first to sign up! The space is large and loft-like, with lovely dark stained wood floors, a gorgeous chandelier, and a full wall of windows. Thread uses the space as their design studio, and the inspiration and mood boards that usually cover the walls were stored in their dress store room for the pop-up shop. Thread makes their bridesmaid and wedding dresses to order in the Fashion District in NYC, so their storage is mainly for their party line Thread Social, which is available for immediate purchase.
First glimpse at Thread, then the view as you walk in, and finally the dresses (!) as displayed for the pop-up shop.
Melissa, one of the owners, at her desk. LOVE the lamps they use as "desk lamps"
There are many things that you should know about Thread Design. First being that they have truly fashionable bridesmaids dresses, for which they built their name and notariety. They are awesome. Second being that they have extended their bridesmaid line to include some simpler, more affordable dresses. So your bridesmaids really have no reason to complain. Third is that their bridesmaids dresses were so popular and chic that they created a party dress line called Thread Social. Yes, I kid you not. These bridesmaid dress designers were so sought after they created their party line second because so many people asked them for other dresses. Lastly being that they have just introduced a line of elegant, chic and very simple wedding dresses, all retailing at less than $2000. Mmmhmmm, I told you there was lots of good stuff to know about Thread!
And of course, on to the dresses. Several of the dresses below are new and part of the less expensive bridesmaid line.
And here are two of their very simple, but very chic wedding dresses.
We loved getting a behind the scenes tour of this fabulous boutique woman owned small business. For more information, more dresses, and for shopping information across the country, please visit their website at www.threaddesign.com.
Please do your bridemaids a favor and get them to go with you to the Thread Pop-up shop this weekend in NYC.
Thread has adorable, very fashionable bridesmaids dresses, and if you go to the pop-up you get a 20% discount! Call them and squeeze in an appointment. Seriously ladies 20% off makes them extremely reasonably priced for a cute dress that they'll actually wear again. And they have wedding dresses as well if you have not found "the one" yet. So grab your ladies and have a fun girl's afternoon! I'll be there to check everything out this weekend, so if you miss it, check back next week for all the details.
Whether you're a long veil girl, a big artsy flower girl, a bird cage girl or an adorable hat girl, Austie is the perfect place to pick your poison. Every piece is handmade by Portland-based designer, Austie Eckley. The designs are ethereal and lovely, the styling spot on, and the prices affordable.
Austie is a great place to stop by if you're looking for something unique and sweet for your big day (or if you just want to look at some really pretty pictures!) xoxo Molly
