a jubilee event :: wedding inspiration for the jubilant bride » Magazines & Publications http://eventjubilee.com/blog design & inspiration from a connecticut wedding planner Fri, 18 May 2012 14:33:01 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 Modern Mad Men Photo Shoot at The Study at Yale in New Haven, Connecticut http://eventjubilee.com/blog/modern-mad-men-photo-shoot-at-the-study-at-yale-in-new-haven-connecticut/ http://eventjubilee.com/blog/modern-mad-men-photo-shoot-at-the-study-at-yale-in-new-haven-connecticut/#comments Fri, 18 May 2012 14:14:03 +0000 Diana http://eventjubilee.com/blog/?p=6037 Let’s face it- we’re obsessed with Mad Men! We love to fawn over Don Draper and his suave demeanor. Or maybe you’re more of a Sterling fan. Either way, we can’t help but desire to be any of its bevy of characters for a day. At least, I know I would love to rummage through their closet and emerge as Christina Hendricks. We felt The Study at Yale in New Haven was the most befitting scene for this, with it’s modern mid-century feel and in the heart of the city. Thankfully we had the fun, creative, energetic group from Raw Photo Design on hand to capture all the glamour!

When it came down to the styling, Beth Chapman from The White Dress by the Shore couldn’t have brought in anything more captivating! She has always been enthralled with the lady-like fashion of the 1960s. Gloves, full skirts, pearls, bouffant hair styles- the whole thing! She just adores it! Couple this with the work of Jennie Fresa Makeup and Skin Care and the W Hair Salon of Madison and we were ready to dine on a three martini lunch. We had Tony Palmieri from Datura, A Modern Garden on hand to push the envelope with his floral decor. Be sure to check out the second table we designed with the glass centerpiece. I absolutely ADORED the look this created- so simple, but so gorgeous! The icing on the cakes were the deco art inspired treats from A Little Imagination Cakes- delicious!

Thank you to all who were a part of this this shoot and to Wedding Chicks for featuring this on their site this week!

We don’t have anything like it in our portfolio and I had been dying to collaborate on something like this for a while. We were largely inspired by a clean color palette, unique and interesting textures (like metal and acrylic) and a gorgeous Givenchy/Riccardo Tisci dress in my search for inspiration for the story board. Belle Mer was the perfect place to shoot this editorial with it’s simplistic decor, white backdrops and as Carla mentioned in the behind-the-scenes video, amazing light!

As our shoot design progressed it sort of morphed into this obsession with taxidermy and a statement decor piece that we wanted to create. Between myself, Nichole of Coral Pheasant and the incredible Tony of Datura: A Modern Garden, we conceptualized this deer head escort card wall nearly 7 1/2 feet tall and completely covered in over 700 varieties of white and ivory roses (from the most wonderful rose grower, Passion Growers). Radic, right? To date, it is my absolute favorite thing we’ve EVER done at a photoshoot– and it almost didn’t happen! Believe it or not, white resin deer heads are hard to come by. After a fighting match with the folks at zgallerie who couldn’t express ship me my deer head in time (!) we scowered decor stores, online retailers, salvage stores… everything from this side of the Mississippi to procure a white resin deer head. We came up with nothing! Total failure. It was quite tragic… until… Tony came across a discarded taxidermy deer head form the day before our shoot with no ears or antlers. Score! And in true Datura: A Modern Garden fashion that deer head not only had the prettiest Styrofoam ears but also curly willow antlers and was painted a magnificent shade of white!

Some more incredible details from the shoot include the paper suite designed by Coral Pheasant, which included laser cut metal engraved invitations mounted to a python booklet. Whhaaat? Nichole also created laser engraved and hand painted gold / clear acrylic menu cards and escort cards, which was inspired by a decadent acrylic/ghost end table with exposed metal brackets found in elle decor. These are a MUST for us to reproduce at one of our events and is truly an incredible statement piece!

One thing I can’t get over is the insane centerpiece Tony and his team created using curly willow and hanging white curcumin suspended above one of our rentable vases. We used a luxurious linen from Wildflower Linens in a shimmering gold paillettes with gold “saturn” chargers at each place setting from Rentals Unlimited. Each place setting had a neatly folded white silk shantung napkin with an acrylic menu card with handmade paper garlands from Kristina Marie.

Beth Chapman of The White Dress by the shore was our talented fashion stylist and pulled together all the fashion and accessories for our model. She created three separate, modern looks using gowns from UK designer David Fielden, Amsale, and Coren Moore! And now the gorgeous images from the insanely creative Carla Ten Eyck… (be sure to read her blog post too!).

Thanks to such an incredible team for their love, laughs and creativity. We had so much fun on this warm July afternoon and can’t wait to do it again! Don’t forget to pick up your copy of Southern New England Weddings: Destinations to see all this goodness in print. Until next time… xo!

We are so fortunate to have been asked again to produce an editorial shoot for The Connecticut Bride Magazine. Inspired by the city of Hartford, we shot in several iconic locations: The Old State House, Gershon Fox Room, Society Room, City Hall, Mark Twain House, and Elizabeth Park. Beth Chapman of The White Dress by the shore styled six amazing looks featuring the world renowned and Connecticut based designer, Modern Trousseau. Tony from Datura: A Modern Garden created gorgeous bouquets inspired by each look, and Dana Bartone & Co. styled all the fabulous hair and makeup. We can’t wait to show you all the amazing images captured by Carla Ten Eyck. Be sure to pick up a copy of The Connecticut Bride on newsstands next week.

{ photography by carla ten eyck on the cover of connecticut bride }

I’m so excited to share with you two major features in the newest issue of Connecticut Bride! Our amazing June wedding of Danielle and John, which was a true collaboration of the entire Jubilee team, made the cover of their Spring / Summer 2011 issue. This is the FIRST time Connecticut Bride has ever put a real bride on the cover! A testimate to the beautiful spirits and love shared between Danielle and John, and the beautiful photography from our dear friend, Carla Ten Eyck. Danielle’s gorgeous beauty was by Jennie Fresa, with fashion styling by The White Dress by the Shore. And that gorgeous, GORGEOUS bouquet? Elisabeth from BLUSH! You can see a recap of her wedding in our galleries, or, pick up the magazine to read their story!

Equally as exciting is the fashion spread Connecticut Bride asked our team to do for their magazine. We had been DYING to do a midsummer night’s dream styled shoot and thought this would be the perfect outlet. It was a bit challenging in the late fall to pull off, but so easy on the beautiful property at Lord Thompson Manor. We designed a shoot in rich colors of pink, green and purple and brought the mid summer by way of gorgeous flowers, garlands, and details. You’ll have to buy the magazine to see the images, but in the meantime, here are some fun behind-the-scenes! For the 4-page fashion shoot in Connecticut Bride our team was comprised of the best of the best! These behind-the-scenes shots are courtesy of Carla, Jazzy and Alison!

I had the opportunity to co-design a tablescape with my colleages Tony and Cat of Datura: A Modern Garden this summer at the Ocean House for Grace Ormonde. We were sent an image of a beautiful water colored Elie Saab gown to use as inspiration– and this is what we came up with! We used a gorgeous mirrored dinning table with chargers made from floral in shades of blue, pink and green. Victoria Ghost Chairs were accentuated with white petal chair backs with rhinestone broaches. Posh Paperie created gorgeous triple mounted menu cards with a beautiful floral water color motif. Tony and Cat created this gorgeous orchid chandelier that we suspended above the table.

When our team got together and started to collaborate on our inspirational wedding photoshoots I had always dreamed of the day we’d be sharing with you our work in print. Never did we think that our work would be featured in 11 (that’s right, ELEVEN!) beautiful, full bleed pages of nothing but gorgeous images– but that we would also have our work on the cover of a magazine! I am so excited for our talented team, whose hard work and creativity are the reason for this post–

Members of our team (myself included) would tell you that we really do this for the love of it– the love of creating, collaborating, working with our friends, being inspired, having fun. That’s the truth of it and it’s not a lie. It’s the reason why we do all these fun shoots, and because of that, it’s even more sweeter to have our work featured.

Our shoot took place at the gorgeous and world renowned Mayflower Inn & Spa which is, by the way, one of the most beautiful, amazing, and gorgeous places to have a wedding. We were inspired by winter, the color blue, toile, and interesting textures like birch, evergreen, yarn, and vintage paper. Tony created several amazing bouquets– one of which has been a steady contender for my all time favorite bouquet. Ever. And it’s featured! Beth created a preppy look that my heart continues to lust after– gorgeous dress, cardigan, sparkly belt, layered pearls. Yum! Posh Paperie sent me a box of THE MOST gorgeous creations– paper pinwheels made of vintage music sheets, die cut “lace” paper embellishments, menu’s that open with a surprise hidden inside, and the prettiest invitation you ever did see (also featured!). Lovely Lollies delivered delicious dessert table that we styled– filled with peppermint patties, homemade marshmallows, candy can sticks, french macarons, and SO much more.

Our team compiled two beautiful and inspiration stories, one of which you can see in the new issue of Gala Weddings (which is on newsstands now– I promise– I saw it in Big Y!). You can see our behind-the-scenes post from 2009 with stories behind some of the images that made it into the magazine. Carla also posted her perspective this morning– and Tony is sharing his gorgeous bouquet work with you on his blog today from the shoot.

There are also so many images left to share– so be on the look out for them in the next few weeks. A big thank you to Gala Weddings and our incredible team of friends and colleagues for all your hard work!

The article featured the design genius that is Maihar Designs — the company responsible for the cutest flower girl wands and ring bearer pillows ever made. Thanks to Ashleigh for submitting all of our work, and kudos to a great team!Similar Posts:

Something really sweet happened recently: we were named one of The Knot’s Best of 2010 for wedding and event planners. Pretty awesome! Thank you to our brides who filled out their questionnaires and put us down as their favorite. We appreciate all the love and support!

I’m really excited about our recent feature in BRIDES Connecticut and all 16 regional BRIDES magazines (Atlanta, Northern and Southern California, Washington D.C., Chicago, Houston, Boston, Philadelphia, New York, New Jersey, Florida, Colorado, Maryland, Michigan, and Southern Jersey). The first feature is an interview and sneak peak into my own wedding, which you can read about in any BRIDES regional magazine.

The second feature is Marie Antoinette inspired photoshoot we did back in September, which has been featured in the newest issue of BRIDES Connecticut (Spring / Summer 2010), along with Carla Ten Eyck, The White Dress by the Shore, BLUSH Floral Studio, Dana Bartone, Flower Upon Flour and Jen’s Closet. Also, the incredible Tom Morlock of Vantage Point Films was on hand for this photoshoot and has put together a great behind-the-scenes snippet video of our shoot…! Check it out below!!!

Martha Stewart Weddings celebrated their 15th Anniversary with a really spectacular party at the Plaza in New York. Carla Ten Eyck and I attended the event and had a blast! There were so many incredible and talented people in attendance and it was such a pleasure to meet all of them. Clearly, Martha Stewart Weddings is THE magazine in the industry — by far the most amazing — and we wish them 15 more years of success!

I was super pumped to find out that one of our weddings from 2009 was featured in Get Married’s premiere October issue! You remember the preppy and chic wedding at the Saugatuck Rowing Club that we designed for Kim and Matt back in May? Well their amazing tablescape and details made it into the glossy! You can actually read the entire first issue online too. We have received several copies in the mail and like what we see! It’s so hard to pull together a magazine in today’s industry so many kudos and congrats to our new friends over at getmarried.com. Also, congrats to Kim and Matt for having your gorgeous wedding featured!!

There was some sad news in the industry today: Modern Bride and Elegant Bride magazine are ceasing production. Instead, they are “combining” contents into a monthly BRIDES publication (now printed quarterly). It may be a result of the economy, but I partly feel that the internet is to blame for these glossies demise! With so much content produced and published on the internet instantaneously, its hard for magazines to compete. I actually prefer that all the content published in the three magazines be condensed into one monthly publication. Sounds like a fabulous transition for BRIDES!

To view the first portion of this shoot check out my previous post, here! I collaborated with Elisabeth of BLUSH floral design and Beth Chapman of White Dress by the Shore on the color story of teal and pink. All the hair and makeup was done by the talented and super amazing Dana Bartone & Co., who are responsible for making almost ALL of my brides gorgeous on their wedding day (me included)!! My studio roomie Thomas Morlock of Vantage Point Films also shot the entire event from his viewfinder. He ate all the cake AND drank all the champagne!!!

Soo… is Signature Event Rentals not awesome? Their furniture totally made our tablescape go from cool to incredible. I loved their white dining table and we decided to use their Alice Pop hot pink chairs, mixed in with the white padded, clear backed. Elisabeth created a series of beautiful and simple pink arrangements down the center of the table in vintage milk glass containers… gorgeous!!

Party Rentals Ltd in Greenwich and New Preston supplied the hot pink glass chargers and some of the dinner plates. We also used their gold rimmed wine / champagne glasses and gold flatware. All the other pieces are vintage china (lots of limoges), including the tea cups and saucers, white/gold dinner plates and the aqua soup bowls are all courtesy of my friend and etsy shop owner, Jen. Check out her store, Jen’s Closet!

I added little bottles of Moet at each place setting and floated white raspberries in each champagne glass (they were yum!). The beautiful art deco napkins came from this fabulous antique store in Seymour, Connecticut called Yesterday’s Luxuries. They are made of linen and are so delicate and beautiful! Definitely a set of keepers.

Thanks to all the awesome vendors who contributed to the shoot! You can see more of it here on Carla’s blog!

I collaborated with Elisabeth of BLUSH floral design and Beth Chapman of White Dress by the Shore to come up with a unique and fun color story in teals and pinks. All the hair and makeup was done by the talented and super amazing Dana Bartone & Co., who are responsible for making almost ALL of my brides gorgeous on their wedding day (me included)!! My studio roomie Thomas Morlock of Vantage Point Films also shot the entire event from his viewfinder. Plus, he drank all the champagne.

For those of you who don’t know, Carla runs an amazing workshop for photographers once a month where she spends an entire day shooting, educating, and discussing her artform. I’ve attended two Ten Eyck Tuesdays and Carla is amazing!! If you are a photographer in the area (you should travel here if your not!) I highly recommend Carla’s workshop. They are so thorough and detailed. Plus, Carla puts the sass in sass-a-frass.

The location for the shoot was really awesome. The building is an interior designer’s dream, full of lots of shops from furniture to lighting. We took over a blank industrial space with nothing except a few sheets of unused drywall laid up against the wall.

This gorgeousness is all courtesy of Carla and Beth Chapman of White Dress by the Shore who dressed and styled our gorgeous models. Don’t you just LOVE this short wedding gown and feather hair fascinator? It was so delicate and pretty in person! I could have played dress up for hours with all the amazing accessories Beth brought.

That gorgeous, vintage pink bouquet is by the equally talented Elisabeth of BLUSH floral design. I love Dan’s peacock feathered boutonniere. Can you see the peacock feathers tucked into Mandie’s bouquet? Check the neck collage of images!

Pretty gorgeous, right? The furniture is from my FAVORITE rental company, Signature Event Rentals, who are responsible for most of the awesomeness you see. That gorgeous white couch? The clear-backed and hot pink dining chairs?! The leather tufted wall panels?!?! The WHITE dinning table?!?!?! Yeah, they pretty much rule. They’re the best, hands down, and we LOVED having their furniture at the shoot!

Elisabeth created a bed of tightly arranged hot pink carnations for our escort cards, which were pennant flags that I made and hand wrote in gold ink. Antonia from Flower upon Flour blew us away with her tasty little gold petit fours with the hot pink fleur de lis… but the pièce de résistance was definitely her INSANE cake!!

Antonia and I had discussed the color story and inspiration behind the shoot… and when she showed up with this…. we were like… seriously?! A teal cake with a gold birdcage on top and hot pink feathers?!

…. up next, our table and some other fun stuff!

I received my very last issue of Domino Magazine a few days ago. I was so upset to hear earlier this month that the magazine would be publishing its last issue in March. It is my go-to for inspiration and I am beyond upset that it will no longer be published. What other magazine embraced our inner vintage, bohemian side?

C’est la vie… Good thing I’ve hung onto every copy published! I will have to hang on to my next favorite magazine, Real Simple (although my love for it has never been quite the same since my friend Amanda pointed out that the entire magazine is just a walking advertisement. Thanks Amanda!!) I feel like with the popularity of blogging, more and more readers are turning to the internet for design inspiration and less to the glossy pages of popular magazines. This is even evident in the bridal world, with the popularity of the Southern Weddings Blog and Style Me Pretty. Their content is equally relevent and gratification: instint! Why should we wait a whole two months, or worse yet a quarter, for a bridal magazine to be published?

What magazines are your favorites and provide inspiration in design, business, life? What are your favorite design blogs? Similar Posts:

One of my favorite elements in planning weddings for our couples is learning how they met one another. Love stories are truly inspiring, and this morning I was so excited to see one of my July couples featured in today’s Hartford Courant. Liz and Jayson met on a popular match making site, JDate.com, and their love story has been featured on a real “Webisode” on JDate’s website too. Click here to view the short promo piece for the series where you can see a bit of their interview. They are such a fun loving, gorgeous couple and we can’t wait for their wedding at Norwalk’s Maritime Aquarium (where they had their third date!).

I received some advance copies of the New BRIDES Connecticut Spring/Summer 2009 issue. In a word, it is fabulous! BRIDES always puts together such a wonderful regional magazine, full of amazing content related to Connecticut. Among all the crazy eye candy is an interview we did on our TOP PICKS for a Connecticut bride’s reception. Be sure to pick up your copy to see what they are!

My favorite feature in this issue has to be the Style Inspirations Shopping Trip. BRIDES went to several of our favorite stores — Anthropologie, Crate & Barrel, and West Elm just to name a few. They took each of these stores unique styles and parlayed it into a wedding day design. I love it because it is an extension of what I’ve always said — your wedding should be a reflection of your personal style. You can find inspiration not just in wedding magazines, but in every day life! Look toward your own personal style and let your unique style sense shine.

I picked up my copy of OK! Magazine’s featurette on Charlie Sheen’s newest nuptials. To say I was disappointed would be an understatement. I’m not sure if they were going unpretentious casual elegance or let’s save the money for the divorce, but either way, the photographs and description left much to be desired. I am especially not a fan of the wreath that Brooke wore with her 11.64 carat engagement ring. Yes, 11.64 carats! Are you kidding? The pictures in this cover story looked photoshopped, staged, and stiff. I appreciate his Men’s Warehouse suit, but couldn’t the photographer have him fix his tie and hair? That, coupled with the discussion of his previous (and contentious) marriage to Dennis Richards was in poor taste. The wedding should be about him and his new wife — not his crazy ex!

The table décor was beautiful, however, with chocolate brown, gold, green, and deep reds. It really was very rich in color and texture. The cake wasn’t my favorite, though. Birds and twigs?
