Tuesdays are for Mood Boards.....

I love cocktail rings. It's something I don't have in my jewelry box but I think I need to make room for some. I have been trying to challenge myself and stay outside my comfort zone in terms of colors for Tuesday Mood Boards. Although, when I saw this image from the uber talented Phil Poytner, there was absolutely no question of comfort. Ms. True may be the queen of yellow, black and white but I just love how beautifully that the tonal purples and yellows seem to dance with one another. Sheer, flowy and filmy fabrics are seriously hot for Spring 2010 and an easy way to incorporate into a wedding. The color palette actually reminds me of a house where I grew up, where in early spring, about a zillion crocuses would magically appear overnight.

I guess I am ready for spring...can you tell?

Tuesdays are for Mood Boards.....For Regina..Happy Birthday.....

"Auntie Gina" (Regina-Bride to be), My monster, "Auntie Egg" (Meg-Maid of Honor)

Today is a very special Mood Board Tuesday! It's not every day that one of my closest friends gets engaged. I have been extremely blessed over the years to have such amazing groups of friends. One group that is very special and dear to my heart are the "New York Ladies". Comprised of myself and 4 other women, we were "Sex in the City" before "Sex in the City" actually came out. Regina, the baby of the clan, is the one who has just gotten engaged. She started out dabbling in acting many many moons ago in NYC and is now a full fledge working actress in Los Angeles. I deeply admire her perserverance and passion. She is truly my "Little Engine That Could". So, when we got news that our little sis was getting married, the "New York Ladies" jumped into action!

Anyone who knows Regina, knows that she has a very unique style.She was Anthropologie before Anthropologie...but I don't mean sweet, pastelly, vintagey..I mean stripes & checks and plaids all together but somehow she makes it look effortless and flawless.But for her wedding, she's all grown up. The big day is in October of this year at a fabulous Mansion in Long Island NY where it is filled with dark mahogany paneled walls and marble staircases. I see Zooey Deschanel and Grace Kelly mixed into one. A bit of glamour with a dash of quirkiness. She is marrying a Film Editor, so I can only imagine how creative this event can and will be! I will keep you posted as the process and planning unfolds....

Happy Birthday Little Sis...We will offer you the moon and the stars!!

Tuesdays are for Mood Boards.....Palm Beach Green...

Image found via Flickr

Yesterday in Connecticut, winds reaching 50 mph and torrential rains ripped through our poor little State. However this morning, I woke up to blue skies, warmer temperatures and grass that was once brown became green again. As Ms. True embarked on an adventure to the warm sands and blue waters of the Dominican Republic very very early this morning, I was inspired by the little gift of green outside my window. I fell hard for this fabulous image from Life Magazine from 1967 and decided on a tonal green palette that would make any Palm Beach wasp proud. All you have to do is add some palm fronds for texture, a few gardenias for scent, a vintage emerald cabachon bib necklace for color and you have a perfectly classic southern Springtime wedding.
