And the details come together--to make a memorable day. The Woolman Wedding.

I've always known that Erin is a pretty detailed person--but until I started consulting with her about the wedding of Jake & her, thats when I really learned how detailed she really is.

However--her attention to detail throughout the entire planning process truly paid off.  The wedding day could not have gone any smoother (and easier) than it did.  The weather w

as spectacular, the vendors were on time and everything really just seemed to go as planned.  

I was especially impressed with the photographers for the wedding (some of her photos are below), Meg Perotti (http://megperotti.com/blog/?p=1977) & Heather Kincaid (www.heatherkincaid.com). I knew while they were there that these pictures were going to be good.  So thank you to the both of YOU for truly capturing this day.  I hope I can work with them again on another event!

It was quite the honor to be a part of this day for two of my closest friends.  I hope you enjoy just a sampling of what the day was like.

One of the tables in the reception is shown above. Simple. Clean. Elegant. And as Erin would like to say "Semi-Homemade"

The shot above really showcases all of the little details that came together in the patterns, the flowers, the tables, the name cards, the menus, and the programs. 

The is a perfect picture below that really captured the 'stillness' of the evening outside.  This is a shot of where the cocktail reception was--just outside the Barrel Room.  It was also a full moon that night...

Updates from the Spring Fundraising Season 2009

This post has been long over due as we finished our Spring Fundraising season at BDI about a month ago.  The good news is that even in these hard economic times, we were able to produce quality, memorable, and successful fundraising galas around the country-- all while meeting our goals.  

My role in most of the events throughout this season was to manage and assist in the logistical side of things when it came to the overall design elements, including the AV, lighting, and tables. Here are just three of the dinners we did this spring around the country...

1.) Grand Hyatt: New York, New York

2.) The Montage: Beverly Hills, CA

At this event we used a great florist that we know in LA, Roman, to create these unique centerpieces that continued the theme of the company that we were honoring.  They turned out great! 

3.) The Sofitel Watertower Hotel: Chicago, IL

Who would have thought sunflowers would have been such a great centerpiece? They are affordable, and add just the right amount of color to the table to bring it to life!
