We are so excited and thrilled to share with you the newest cover of Bliss Celebrations Guide! We had the honor of being part of their cover shoot for the 2012 issue and cannot wait to share with you the amazing images and creative work by our stellar team. It was such a dream to be able to shoot this fun, french inspired shoot that sings to everything we love: shades of pink, vintage 1950’s sequin dresses, dreamy headpieces, cheeky paper, luxurious confections, sweet beauty, and down right gorgeous floral.

We also have an amazing and colorful graduation / bridal shower photoshoot published within these delictable pages in addition to the romantic wedding of Rachelle + Richard from the Tomes Higgins House this past may. A little later today we’ll be sharing images from the cover shoot so stay tuned– and be sure to pick up your copy of Bliss Celebrations due in stores across the North East soon!
