We couldn’t have dreamed of a better way to kick off the new year than with the news we are about to share with you. Real BB Weddings couple Asya and Anders’ luxe tropical-inspired wedding is featured in Bridal Guide Magazine’s March/April 2023 issue. We partnered with ES Blooms to transform the couple’s waterfront home into a blossoming island paradise. From the lush tropical flowers that included coral, purple, and pink Phalaenopsis orchids, birds of paradise, anthuriums, and rich greenery to the unique decorative details to the rattan and bamboo furniture and celestial canopy lighting, no monstera leaf was left unturned in creating a vibrant atmosphere of a destination celebration. “This was an incredibly unique wedding and an amazing collaboration with such a talented group of vendors,” Bride & Blossom Founder Rachel Trimarco looks back and says. “So much more goes into the design and decor when you are bringing everything in. The bride was delightful from start to finish and gave our team true creative license. Bringing the tropics to a Long Island waterfront setting was magical. Seeing it all come together the day of was one of the highlights of 2021!”

The process of finding a wedding dress isn’t always linear. You start with a clear picture of what you want to wear in mind and then make an appointment. After explaining your style to the bridal salon, you are presented a rack of choices they think you will like. But every time you step out of the fitting room and look in the mirror, the excitement you should be feeling just isn’t there. “I had tried on so many dresses I really thought that ‘the one’ was a myth,” Kristen remembers. Not to worry. Her “say yes to the dress” story does have a happy ending. Here, Kristen talks about how her wedding day look came together.

Nicole + Frank : Modern Magic at The Woodmere Club

by admin

Nicole and Frank met in August 2007, on a cruise ship called The Norwegian Dawn, where they were vacationing separately with their families. After exchanging glances in the gym, their paths crossed again at dinner, where Frank claims it was “love at second sight.”

For years, Nicole talked about how much she wanted a black-and-white French bulldog to name Tuxedo, but always stopped herself from going through with the adoption due to her busy work schedule. Turns out Frank was listening!

Nicole & Tuxedo
