So, we just returned from a successful trip to New York, both with clients and at the New York Weddings Magazine bridal event. We represented The Lettered Olive and Tara was there signing copies of her book, Weddings by Tara Guerard.  There were some fabulous vendors we met there (including Mark Ingram as we were setting up, who is so handsome and sweet, and ironically his mother is from Charleston, SC!).

TLO’s set up, those green chairs are from our NY Office that we just brought over…

TLO had a sampling of their custom work to show brides- we’re ready to take orders!

There was a fantastic resource for grooms/groomsmen right across the way from us called Alton Lane.. They do custom clothing for men, and had some really beautiful stuff!

The trend in dresses up there seemed to represent a lot of volume and embellishments.

The beading on this veil was unlike anything I’ve seen before, this was a very special piece!

I got to run down to the flower market to get some blooms for our office, and just loved all of the colors and varieties out right now, it was perfect weather, and this scenery just made me happy!

Tara and I did some shopping for upcoming events at M &J Trimming, and loved their nailhead art!

After a long day at the show (and getting up at 5am), we were too tired to do too much, so went to a sushi spot near our hotel.  Turns out it was one of the top sushi restaurants in the city… I got the Gari Tuna- Tuna 12 ways!!!

Tara did the Chef’s tasting special, all based on what was the freshest available that evening…

Anne Chertoff, Editor in Chief of AisleDash, also stopped by our booth, and captured this video with Tara.
