Jessica … Richard had an INCREDIBLE, SWANKY CHIC, EYE-POPPING and BLING event at the Westin in Providence this past August. John Orton, over at Stoneblossom, helped design the decor and high impact style of the event while the lighting and florals just accented the room and mood of the evening perfectly! The Westin has never looked so transformed, and Jessica had so many surprises for their guests! From her RED wedding gown, the fun dance down the aisle as the wedding party exited… everything was spectacular!

**Photo-Op Spot!! [Destination Chocolate :: 15 Bowens Wharf- Newport, RI]

Alicia … Brian had a Fun … Sassy wedding event! Unique details, perfect SPLASH of colors, texture.. and just fun … exciting! From the invites inviting guests to wear SASSY ATTIRE to the FAB flags that said “Bonne Chance” and “Au Revoir” for their “get-away” … salt water taffy … popcorn buffet [ with popcorn boxes that read "He popped the question and now they are married" ] how cute!!

After every event we send out a Real Weddings Questionnaire – one of my favorite questions on it is:

Finish this sentence: “One thing I learned from my wedding planning…” …and I really loved Alicia’s response!

Alicia wrote: “…is to enjoy every minute of it! I had a long engagement and it was such a fun experience for me. I joined the ranks of a lot of brides to be on the knot and chattybrides and it really made my experience.

I think the most important thing is to be yourself – and not let everyone else’s weddings dictate what you have at yours. Everyone is unique and your wedding can be too if you put your style in it! I dont think any one of my guests expected anything less than that at my wedding. We put our stamp on it. Is it right for everyone? No. But it suit us PERFECTLY! ”

Glamorous, crystals … rhinestones , lush royal fabrics… layers of tulle, ornate detailing … Pnina does such rich … GLAM designs.. but the most over the top detail ?? She managed to design her entire collection for this season in 10 days! Just a peak into the collection!
