Hello and Happy New Year! We took a bit of a blogging "hiatus" as we wrapped up the end of 2010, enjoyed the Holidays and settled into the New Year. We have been hard at work on a new website that will launch very soon as well.
Before we dive back into our "regularly scheduled blogging," I thought it would be lovely to review all of the fun we had in 2010.
Early last year I headed to our Virginia office for a photo shoot that would later be our first feature on
Style me Pretty.
In February we were asked to style a shoot for
Bride and Bloom Magazine. I will offer you an itsy-bitsy sneak peek. We look forward to seeing the feature in their next issue.
As Spring and Summer rolled around, there were lots of
wonderful weddings including Atlanta Hawks player Josh Smith's wedding at the St. Regis, which was one of the largest weddings {from a production stand point} we have ever done (thousands of crystals hanging from the ceiling... etc...). I cannot share the decor images quite yet as the wedding is slated to be featured in one of our favorite bridal publications, but, again, here is one teeny tiny little sneak peek:
We were honored with wonderful
press this year. Features on some of our favorite blogs such as
Style me Pretty and
Green Wedding Shoes as well as being named one of Atlanta's "
Top 10 Most Influential Event Planners" by
Occasions Magazine and "
Best of Weddings" 2010/2011 by
The Knot were stand out moments.
I traveled A LOT this year including for two destination weddings.
Kate and Mark's wedding was in one of the most scenic spots you can imagine in Vail, Colorado.

and
Katharine and Kyle's wedding was in beautiful Boston on the historic Harvard campus.
October was an amazing month! I went to the
Engage conference again (one of
seven or eight business conferences I attended this year), which is always beyond my wildest expectations. The speakers are the best of the best in the bridal industry and the attention to details, decor, food-
everything- is unparalleled. This year the event was held at the beautiful and historic
Breakers in Palm Beach.
Later in the month I attended bridal fashion market in New York City and reported back on the latest trends for
Atlanta Weddings Magazine. So many gorgeous gowns...
I wrapped up October styling a photo shoot for the cover of
Occasions Magazine (full blog post coming right up...).
I took a very big leap in November and spoke- for the first time- to a group of event professionals at
The Party Goddess "Uncensored" conference in Los Angeles. Although I was extremely nervous, it was so much fun!
In December I was thrilled to travel back to New York City to help
Get Married and my sweet friend and wedding planner
Annie Lee from Daughter of Design with the first ever wedding in Times Square and it was on New Year's Eve!! It was absolutely one of the most surreal experiences of my life to be in Times Square on New Year's Eve and watch the ball drop. Stay tuned for our next post with more images from and details about this truly unique event!

Phew! What a year! Looking forward to all that 2011 has in store. Cheers!
