Dressing Up Your Wedding Party

    Amy Atlas sent more than photos of a gorgeous summer table that she developed in Hamptons recently that had been photographed by Dawn Giarizzo. More photos are shop cocktail dresses offered on Amy’s blog! The table inspired me to post about Green being one of my favorite colors for summer events….

     When I think spring, I think the colors of the little blooming flowers, but summer brings to mind idling under a big green tree keeping cool from the hot summer sun.? That sentence made me laugh out loud.? I’ve been reading too much Twilight.? It can be a great accent color- here we used it to decorate the aisle for a wedding we planned last year for Raquel and Josh. (Photo by Mel Barlow) For Serah and Min’s wedding earlier this summer, leafy greens were used to bring pops of green against a chocolate brown backdrop!

This loft wedding that we planned a couple of summers ago was inspired by the couple’s apartment and the hot August heat! We set off the green with a buy cocktail dresses bit of Navy.(photos by Cappy Hotchkiss)

       This past weekend we had a wedding at the Bowery Hotel filled with gorgeous and lovely seeking ladies.  To keep things mellow, our bride opted to have all the bridesmaids wear pink cocktail dresses in whatever shade they chose.  The result was stunning (pictures forthcoming) and I noticed that everyone had looks that were personalized, but it still came together.  One trend that I loved: really chunky necklaces on all the ladies.  Some were beaded, some were embellished cheap cocktail dresses with flowers.  All of it stylish.  That made me think of Stella & Dot.  Their stuff is so amazingly fashionforward and fun, yet reasonably priced.  Perfect for a bridesmaid or guest searching to let people know who YOU are!
