    We thought we’d share a fun round up of some of the awesome letterpress directions and accommodations cards we’ve printed in recent months. Some of them include maps and other details and some of them simply refer guests to a website with lots of extra information to make their travel easier. Accommodations cards are especially helpful if you’ve negotiated group rates at local hotels so guests know where to book their room. Check out these ideas for tons of great letterpress inspiration! {Letterpress directions card in Flourish.} {Tara accommodations + directions website card.} {Tennyson...

    Recently, I was fortunate to share a wonderful lunch and tour of the Crosby Street Hotel with an intimate group of wedding professionals. Needless to say, the company was wonderful, and the venue was so striking, I couldn't wait to share these images with you.The "Spring" room is one of three private event spaces at the hotel {and my favorite for chic rehearsal dinners}. The space is so perfectly designed, only a few simple flowers and candles are needed to personalize an event.A "Crosby Suite." High ceilings and full length windows with spectacular views of downtown New York make these high l...

    Continuing with Merci New York's series of featuring some of the city's hottest hotels to stay, sleep and play, {and of course, house your out-of-town wedding guests}, it only made sense to showcase one of the newest, hippest and dare we say, sexiest, hotels in Manhattan: the ever-chic Standard Hotel. Take a peek... The Standard is hotelier Andre Balazs's latest, and like many of his past ventures, it comes packed with a certain electricity and buzz that oozes downtown cool. Perched twenty stories above the High Line, the city's newest old park {recreated from the former elevated subway line...

    I truly adore the chic decor and uptown panache of The Surrey. I had the pleasure of previewing the newly renovated hotel during a Net-a-Porter press event last month, and reminisced about its dove gray decor after running a post on Monique Lhuillier's home similarly-hued home earlier this week... Simply stated, the hotel is gorgeous.If you're hosting an uptown wedding, it's well worth considering this spot for your out-of-town guests. Take a look...Sitting along a quiet Upper East Side block, the Surrey looks more like an inviting apartment building than a hotel... Many of the 190 guest room...

    The menu has, like most elements of our planning so far, not come together without some bumps. We knew we wanted to serve fun food, in a casual, homey environment. While the wedding will still be a classy affair, it is definitely more rustic-chic than casual elegance. It’s a wedding in the mountains, with all of our family and closest friends by our side… and we want the food to reflect our excitement at having our nearest-and-dearest celebrating with us! From thesunblog.com Before the details, I must comment on working with caterers. The Lodge that we have booked has an in-house caterer (...

    Filed under: Honeymoons, Receptions, Green WeddingsFor the environmentally concerned couple, a wedding can be a true challenge to your principles and your conscience. You want to have all your friends and family with you, but that means so much stuff! So much waste!It's good to know that there are some venues that will support you in your efforts. Kimpton Hotels, which can be found throughout the States and in British Columbia, has been developing its "Earth Care" program since 1985. If you decide to hold your reception there, and/or arrange that out-of-town guests stay there, you will know th...

    Filed under: Negotiating Speed Bumps, Alternative WeddingsWeddings are tremendously visual affairs -- unless you or your partner is visually impaired or blind. You'll still want the bridal gown to rustle as you walk, and those fresh-scented flowers, but you'll have some practical needs that not every couple has to worry about. 1. If it's some of your guests who are visually impaired, have a designated usher. Teach him how to lead a blind person. Also, he'll need to be adept with words: You'll want someone who won't just escort them to their seats, but who will provide verbal description to ori...
