“For an outdoor wedding imbued with the spirit and style of the polo-club set, crisp red, white, and blue really set the tone. Perfectly proper and utterly relaxed at the same time, this combination lends itself to a reception that’s as visually captivating and as fun as a chukker brilliantly played. Blue and white striped linens give outdoor tables a graphic punch; everything else stays simple—white plates on silver chargers, neatly stitched and buttoned rings around red linen napkins, and clusters of bright red dahlias, roses, and sweet peas in vintage trophies, by Tara Pollio Floral-Event Design.

Antique -silver, in simple shapes and patterns, is an elegant and slightly understated complement to the bold colors. Vivid red currants in a miniature trophy bowl are a fun and -unexpected element at the table. Equestrian-inspired accents, like the leather -buttons on these napkin rings, pull this look together.

An invitation by That’s Inviting is a colorful standout. A soft bouquet of begonias, dahlias, -hydrangea, and hellebores is complemented with a bold navy and -yellow striped ribbon in this arrangement by Tara Pollio Floral-Event Design….”  Fresh picked

As a designer and wedding professional who is usually too busy or exhausted to snap many shots before the wedding I feel so blessed to have worked with Laura Piazza and Marilyn Dillon of Natural Expressions Wedding Photography a few weeks back.   I am without words on the talent she shows in the below links to unforgettable footage from both the rehearsal dinner (held at the Pond Pavilion, Equinox Spa and Resort) and Wedding (Equinox Resort and Spa) of Lindsay (Tarasuk) and Michael Aroesty!  From the detailed shots, to the expressions and emotions captured in each photography….speechless!  Thank you Laura and Marilyn, as you captured the mood perfectly!!  My last post gives you my amateur shots.. PLEASE VIEW THE SLIDESHOWS!
