Can “Cloud-Seeding” Guarantee Perfect Wedding Weather?

by

Glen-Cove-Mansion-Wedding

When planning your wedding, of course you don’t want to leave any details to chance. Maybe now that is really possible. One company claims they can guarantee beautiful wedding weather with technology.

From Discover:

London luxury travel company Oliver’s Travels is guaranteeing couples a sunny day for their nuptials courtesy of their Cloud Bursting service. The company will “pop” clouds prior to your big day through a process more commonly known as cloud seeding. The service, which costs about $150,000 and is currently only offered in France, promises to clear up cloudy skies with a little help from atmospheric science.

The perfect blue-sky wedding weather above was a natural occurence at Glen Cove Mansion in Long Island, New York.

Designing Our New Manhattan Showroom

As soon we saw this space, we knew it was the one! Located right across the street from Bloomingdales, in one of Manhattan’s best shopping districts, we are just blocks from some of New York City’s best wedding venues, including The Plaza Hotel, St. Regis New York and Central Park.

It’s a dream come true to design a space that reflects our aesthetic of beauty. We want to welcome our brides and invite them to relax. To make our vision a reality, we started by making a mood board. Basic elements were clear from the start: a color palette of grays and mauve, with crystal accents, modern, open shelving for display, and lush, textured seating.

We Love Floral Jewels, the latest book by British Vogue jewellry editor Carol Woolton.

We discovered the book on the world’s best jewelry blog, The Jewelry Editor:

“…this lavishly illustrated treasury features gem-laden blooms that will never fade away. Throughout history, flowers have been the inspiration for jewelers and the people who wore their creations… Divided into four seasons–and the flowers that bloom in them–this book explores the history of flowers in the fine jewelry world and features dazzling illustrations, original sketches and gouache paintings showing how these blooms have been translated into pieces that are both priceless and ageless.”

Irresistable, isn’t it? Perfect gift for the jewelry and flower lovers in your life, and a fantastic source of inspiration for wedding color schemes, details and floral decor! This 2010 Orchid brooch, by Cartier, is one of many featured pieces you’ll marvel over.

High Centerpieces for Heightened Drama

by

If there is one thing that we’ve learned from creating floral designs for almost every event space in New York City, it is that nothing transforms a room and says beauty and opulence like lush tall centerpieces. With so many stunning, New York City wedding venues featuring dramatic, vaulted ceilings, we simply feel the need to play into the drama with tall floral arrangements.

While high centerpieces are often more expensive than low centerpieces, there are ways to save on costs and still wow your guests. Ask your floral designer for ideas. For starters, doing a mixture of high and low is a great way to transform your space and not max out your flower budget. We also love to use hydrangeas in high centerpieces. Not only are they one of the most beautiful and romantic flowers, but they are large and lush so they automatically add volume to your centerpiece. Another trick is to layer the flowers within the high centerpiece, adding more dimension and creating the illusion that it’s even larger.
