Congratulations ASHLEY … TRAVIS!!! They were just FEATURED as a Destination Wedding in New WINTER ISSUE of the fantastic “Destination Weddings … Honeymoons Magazine” a National publication you can pick up and check out how they celebrated their Belle Mer, Newport Wedding this past Spring!! Enjoy!!

Ladies …[as I hang my head in total shame] just as an update for you fall wedding events I’m behind in processing..the twin factor from the spring set us back this year managing a new timeline and figuring out how to best process which we’re on target for having lined up for 2010 hooray – but right now from that set back and then Fashion week last week which set me back another week I’m just finishing August events now. YIKES! So that super fantastic 2 wk turn-around is off mark for the rest of 2009 and it’s been 2 months .. though I should be picking up now as the weddings slow down more. So I just wanted to let you know not to panic as I’m working late into the night to get everyone their events yay!

We TRULY appreciate everyones patience this year as our timelines got behind. THANK YOU!!

See below for further Studio News … Updates:

*Those of you who are expecting your Signature Magazines I have a large shipment in the studio now and the “signature silk box” company is wrapping up another set of boxes for us this week so I can ship those all out to you in their pretty boxes and safely packaged for shipping. So keep on the lookout for those!

[UPDATED: SILK FOLIO BOXES ARRIVED AND MAGS BEGAN SHIPPING OUT AGAIN as of 11/2!!]

*ALBUMS!! Those ladies looking to start albums we’ve reached the cut off dates for Queensberry to ensure delivery by the Christmas Holiday, ladies who’ve already submitted materials you’re all set and they are already in Que. For New orders we can start playing with them and the next earliest delivery dates would be the end of January 2010 for future orders as an FYI.

That being said, those ladies still waiting on the super cool “BRIDAL BEYOND ALBUM KIT” – remember this painful process of waiting when you do finally get it in the mail as my 2 week limit on having it seems to be ignored once ladies get it…and then keep it for weeks/months and you wait through this. We do have a list we’re working on getting it to everyone in order once it magically reappears in the studio. I’m working on new sample albums right now to create a 2nd “BRIDAL BEYOND ALBUM KIT” to hopefully have as a backup when it gets held captive

That’s it – back to processing!!!

Be still me little heart!! We got a break from runways Sunday night while Jared shot the GetMarried Magazine Launch party and I mingled with some of our favorite people in the Bridal Fashion industry! Stacy President of GetMarried – certainly knows how to throw a bash for a launch and inviting the best 400+ people to share it with made it that much more fun… I’ll give them this too the new Magazine looks great!

Midnight blue, Kiwi, white splashed intense and FUN color throughout Erin … Alex’s event! I’m a bit biased but I LOVED the colors!! It was a casual … elegant that truly popped with the FAB touches and details, including the FAMILY COOKIE BAR – a family tradition that everyone baked cookies … brought them to the event to create this huge cookie scape! It was so fun watching you guys and especially Erin’s quick climb up the Lifeguard tower on first beach – so quick … SOOO worth it!!

Gia … Andrew – SPUNKY and super FUN couple!! They planned a FAB sophisticated meets playful wedding to celebrate their wedding too with lots of personal touches that incorporated so much “one of a kind” details! From the Scrabble Board cocktail play, “Where’s Waldo” style “Find the Mr. Potato Heads…[ they were in the fountain, bar, lounges, everywhere!!] boys Scarbble cufflinks, Loive Action painter, Nutcracker which Andrew proposed with, scrabble piece escort cards for bride … groom…and best of all ONE OF A KIND GIA BRIDE DOLL!!!!!!! Yes that’s right ladies – Gia has her own look alike doll that was designed and manufactured just for her day! Both Andrew, groom, and Gia’s father work at Hasbro Toy so that was a fun project that they got to surprise her with!

Erin … Nic had all the right details to make their wedding “uniquely theirs” Their incorporation of great patterns, textures, and a vibrant colors made everything POP!! From the pinwheel place cards, ceremony YAY flags..to the seersucker dresses and plaid blazer…NOTHING was cookie cutter here! Oh even the ceremony programs were super personal – Nic is a Chemistry Teacher which inspired their “we’ve got chemistry” Ceremony Programs … Periodic Table Numbers and the Beaker Vases. Though one should expect no less from such a FAB Wedding Professional!! Erin is one of the chic … sassy gals from Belle Mer – so needless to say we had to make a quick stop at the Island House to play for pics. I could go on forever here but you’ll just have to read more when you see her FEATURE in one of NE Wedding Mags! – ohh such a tease!

Make it uniquely YOUR OWN ladies!!! Super Fabulous ERIN!!!

Marcaline … Justin by FAR win the BEST “How We Met” story! I’ve been dying to blog this story.. we’ve heard everything… we knew each other growing up, we met in college, High School sweethearts, Match.com, family friends..etc etc.. BUT this is the SWEETEST!

When we asked Maracline … Justin “How they Met” this was their response:

“Neither Marci nor Justin can remember the first time they met; however, Marci vividly remembers liking Justin at her aunt’s wedding when she was the flower girl and Justin the ring bearer. When Marci asked Justin to dance with her, he wanted nothing to do with her, since girls at this age still had cooties, and proceeded to run to the men’s restroom. Marci at the time was four years old and Justin was seven. The DJ forewarned Justin that he would one day change his mind.”

Keeping up the flow here I am going out of order to keep things interesting but choose 3 events that all felt very airy and enchanting to me but in different ways [ Ali, Kate ... Marci] not to mention the dreamy glamorous gowns.
