Castle Hill Wedding Inspiration ....A Compass Rose

This nautical icon chosen for the Welcome Bag will be used thru out the wedding weekend.

To me, it signifies the new direction this lovely family is taking!

Inspiration.... Julie and Julia

The Julie and Julia Project was the first time I heard about blogs.

Now writing my 340th article, I am so excited to see this movie.

If you love food and the challenge to staying motivate to ones dream, this will be the movie for you!

Inspiration... Brooks Brothers

Do stop by the Newport Wedding Gallery to see our Nautical Wedding Table Top show. It was inspired by a Brooks Brothers navy blazer.

Gold chairs and flatware, a navy table cloth, red roses and charger, cream plates with gold rim and a navy and white striped tie napkin to finish this proper look.

Inspiration ....Vintage Postcards

My bride Molly found a collection of vintage postcards to use as her inspiration for her invitation. Molly's father recreated this charmimng bundle of cards for her guests. "It was lot of work" said her mother... but so worth it.

Greetings from Jamestown!

Blue Ruled at the Met's Costume Gala last night in N.Y.C.

Blue is truly Newport's favorite color!

My next bride will be using the the inspiration of Navy Blue, Gold, White and Green for her wedding. A very Ralph Lauren look don't you think?
