Bliss Celebrations cover and feature

There is a new publication in town, and we are in LOVE!!!!  Bliss Celebrations just launched its premier issue, and we are honored to say that our Marie Antionette inspired photo shoot is gracing the cover and is featured as an editorial spread.

This shoot was created as part of photography workshop for Carla Teneyck.  Check out the behind the scenes 'making of the shoot' video by Vantage Point Films .  We were honored to collaborate with some of the brightest talents in the industry on this shoot!  The shoot was styled by Candice Coppola of Jubilee Events and the beauty was done by Dana Bartone and her amazing team! The floral design that is artfully captured on the cover is by the lovely and talented Elizabeth Zemetis of Blush Floral Design.

We were also thrilled that one of our real bride's weddings was featured inside the magazine!  Abby Shaughnessy's flirty Ocean House wedding shot by Leila Brewster and designed by True Event, was a perfect additon to this lovely publication!

We are beyond excited to not only have such a lovely and inspirational publication to introduce to our brides, but also to have our work featured within it!  Stop by The White Dress to pick up your copy of Bliss Celebrations, or look for it in Barnes and Noble, Target and CVS in the coming weeks!

destination inspiration....the isle of Capri!

inspiration created by jubilee events

I love to travel!  Whenever I travel I am inspired- by the architecture, landscape, artwork and of course local fashion trends!  We decided to create a Destinations Wedding event that will inspire our brides with some amazing destination locations.  

 We hope that you have saved the date for March 20th, 2011. Be on the look out for a formal invitation in your inbox! If you did not receive our save the date email, be sure to get on the exclusive invitation list by emailing our event co-creator, Jubilee Events at info@eventjubilee.com.

Our event is going to explore some of the most beautiful and romantic destinations for your wedding. Even if you are or not you are able to travel to these romantic destinations for your wedding, we hope that they will inspire you for your wedding at home.

Leading up to the event, each week we will be featuring ideas and content for your destination inspired wedding– at home or abroad!  This week, we’re featuring the island of Capri located on the Almalfi Coast in Italy.   With it’s turquoise coast line, rich Italian food, rocky cliffs, windy streets, gorgeous boats, local artisans and diverse history it is an amazing location for a destination wedding! We can’t wait to share with you our mini Capri-inspired wedding at our Destination Weddings Event, but in the mean time, enjoy our inspiration board designed by the lovely and talented Candice Coppola of Jubilee Events.

In her words, " Purely romantic, carefree and colorful, our board was inspired by the natural landscape of Capri– the interesting colors and textures– along with the dreamy ocean views. You don’t have to be in Capri to evoke the ambiance and atmosphere there– bring in this color palette along with diverse patterns, smooth finishes and rough textures. Build a menu around regional Almalfi Coast dishes, robust with fishes, lemon (!), handmade pasta, cheeses, and fresh local vegetables. And of course, wine! Be inspired by their beautiful architecture with its greco-roman curved arches, stucco finishes and tiled floors. Think about the narrow windy streets, fresh food markets, local textile artisans, little piazza’s and houses built into the cliff side."

happy valentine's day!

Valentine's Day is a day to reflect on who and what you love.....

When I think about what I love, many things come to mind...fashion, shoes, the color pink, anything that sparkles, chocolate, champagne and of course my family!

I asked my 10 year old daughter, Lindsay to write something for the blog that represents what love means to her. She chose to write a poem. Our wish for you today is that you feel every letter in the love alphabet!
