The French Quarter comes to the Palace

The French Quarter came to the Palace for a gala event to celebrate ground breaking on the new Princeton-Plainsboro hospital! (like "House") ok.. ok.. University Medical Center at Princeton in Plainsboro (for real!) .
We had a blast decorating with that fun and fabulous New Orleans theme-masks and feathers were in the centerpieces. The fireplaces in both the cocktail room and ballroom were decorated with beautiful masks, lanterns and gold chiffon.



























Even the staircase was dressed for the occassion. Special thank you to the Ladies of the Auxiliary at University Medical Center at Princeton and Andrea from ACL Event Planning!

Samantha & Jeremy - Southgate Manor

Samantha's bouquet was a soft mix of white hydrangea, ranunculous and white cymbidium orchids. Her bridesmaids beautiful bouquets reflected the vibrant colors of fall with dahlias mixed with black magic roses just popped against the black dresses.

Reception at the Southgate Manor-Centerpieces of orange mokara orchids mixed with curly willow branches wrapped with deep burgundy really popped in the new beautiful ballroom at Southgate Manor.

Thank you to Elisabeth of Elisabeth Millay Photography for the sharing these stunning pictures! Love the one of Samantha walking in the woods! And the collage is just beautiful. Our best wishes to this sweet couple, it was a pleasure working with you!
Special thanks to Melissa of Pampered Bride Weddings - as always so much fun to work with you!

Think Pink-Two Great Events to Help the Cause

Join us in supporting two of our "PINK" friends as they support a great cause!

Pink Comb Salon

Once Again, Pink Comb Salon is holding their annual “Combs For A Cure.” The event will be held Sunday, October 11 from 12 - 4 at the Pink Comb Salon in Nutley, New Jersey. Pink Comb is working together with the Making Memories Breast Cancer Foundation, Brides Against Breast Cancer and the Pink Envelope Project which all work together to fulfill dreams for metastatic breast cancer patients. We need your help!

Michelle LoConte, owner of Pink Comb and our favorite hair stylist will be “raffling off” donations made by many wedding vendors. They hope to get some press as well! Each donation will have a bowl next to it where attendants can “purchase” a ticket and try to “win” a price. All of the monies will go directly to the organization. Last year, they raised $1,287.00! Donations can be a gift certificate, a product, handmade jewelry, wedding related service, an arrangement of sorts, etc. etc. etc. any donation is graciously accepted! You do not need to be at the event in order to make the donation. They will take care of everything. They only ask that donations are made by October 4, 2009. Donations can be dropped off at the Salon in Nutley, NJ or they will be happy to come and pick them up.


For info on last year's event, just visit this link

Rose Petals and Lace has donated a gift certificate for choice of cocktail hour arrangements or a placecard table arrangement (up to $200)! Please be sure to check out their site and make any donations you can! Let's all join in the fight against Breast Cancer!
