Giving Thanks and Gearing Up for the Holidays

Happy Thanksgiving! It was a wonderful day spending time with family. We did the cooking which I love! Of course my favorite task is decorating the table. Here are a couple pictures from the Thanksgiving table. I went for a more rustic fall feel this year (no linen or ornate decor).

I've started the holiday decorating as well. While my husband is part Jewish, he lets me put up a Christmas tree. I try to represent chanakah as well. It's a great time to celebrate everyone's heritage.

The Planning: Behind the Scenes

We recently had a viewing with Marc Hall at Winston Flowers for one of our upcoming weddings at the Four Seasons. It is AMAZING to collaborate with his team and see our vision come to life. We are leaving some surprises which we'll show later (wait until you see what we are doing with the chairs)! These pictures don't do it justice, but it is so beautiful and oozes romance.

We are so excited for this wedding and all the details we will be putting together! Stay tuned - we'll be documenting this wedding as "the planning: behind the scenes"

The mixture of peonies, roses and hydrangea are magnificent and ultra romantic.

Tented Fall Wedding

SD Events just recieved some fabulous photos from a fall wedding that was behind our "Inspiration Outdoor Wedding" post in September. We pulled the different ideas from our previous post and personalized them for the couple. From the apple escort cards to the flipflop valet, the chic fall theme was carried out throughout the entire wedding! A big thank you to Samantha Yanofsky who shared some of her amazing shots with us! She was such a joy to work with!

The weather was beautiful and so were the details! Congratulations Elizabeth and Nick on a gorgeous day and letting us be a part of it.

A special thanks to Frank and his team at East Meets West Catering for providing the amazing food and wait staff. Everything was spectacular as usual!

Love this picture of Elizabeth. It captures the vintage style of the surroundings and her dress.

My & Francesco's Wedding

We jus recieved a wedding video clip from GENERATIONS Cinemastories of a beautiful wedding we did in August at the Four Seasons. They did an amazing job capturing all of the wonderful moments My & Francesco shared on their special day. We were entertained by the belly dancer oh and the magician for the kids! It was a fantastic party.

Special thanks to Lotus Designs who created the beautiful flowers and Table Toppers for the linens. John with David Murray Weddings captured the day and pictures to follow!!

Check out the video and congratulations to Francesco and My!

Southern New England Weddings Photo Shoot

Yesterday SD Events was lucky enough to do table design for a photo shoot at the Museum for Science to be featured in Southern New England Weddings Magazine!

One of our tables was shot in the MOS blue wing (home of the ginormous replica of T-Rex) so we thought a “Safari” Table would be a perfect fit! We used a really fun burlap like linen from Festive Occasions and a fabulous organic centerpiece by none other than the great Dana Markos. Check out our pictures to see how everything came together!

Of course we had to keep some surprises for the magazine. Thanks to everyone who helped out. The museum of science is a fantastic venue - so unique!

Chic Outdoor Wedding in Orleans

We just got some great pictures from a wedding we did last summer in Orleans. This was such a fun, creative wedding because the bride designs invitations and unique paper items. They are all gorgeous - check them out at http://www.smudgeink.com/

We've referred many of our clients to Kate and Deb and we know they are in good hands!

Our team had the pleasure of working with Laura Kozlowski for the first time at this weding and were very impressed - she and her assistant were wonderful to work with.

Check out her work at http://www.laurakozlowski.com/

Love this picture of Kate and Randy on the boat - classic Cape Cod! The flowers were all so colorful and cheery. The bride loved Daliahs and Bella's Blooms of Brewster delivered fantastic bouquets and centerpieces. http://www.bellasblooms/.

The ceremony overlooking the water - the weather held out! It wasn't until we got everyone under the cocktail tent that the rains came...but only lasted a short time.


Of course the escort cards were so cute and tastefully done - what else would you expect! All the paper products were unique - fan for programs and beautiful menu cards added to the details.


We did long banquet tables with family style service - what a great concept for an outdoor wedding. Sophisticated, but not stuffy and enabled guests to get to know each other.


Kate and Randy spent their summers working at Ben and Jerry's in Wellfleet so it was only fitting that they brought them to the wedding. They served several of their favorite flavors and it was a huge hit with the guests.
