Who ever said pink is for girls? | Tara Guérard Soirée

Tucker Ervin would disagree. The after rehearsal party for his recent wedding to Ann E. Rice glowed pink… at his request!

Invitations were printed on acrylic squares, and envelopes were lined in custom printed “AT” logo paper- a theme used throughout the weekend; our Groom and his Bride; the venue hallway was transformed…

The bar ran the entire length of the ballroom wall; the courtyard provided a mixture of traditional seating, and super modern white leather furniture, complete with black and white cowhide ottomans

Desserts were a big focus, so we lined an entire walkway with shelving displaying all desserts on the custom lined “AT” logo paper; hot pink AT petits fours (there were black and white ones too); Father of the Bride’s favorite Glazed Krispy Kremes

Late nite food like sliders and grilled cheese were displayed on wooden tired shelves built by Soiree; plain and Watermelon Mojitos (the groom’s fave) were passed on trays lined with the same paper from the invites

The couple, now living in NYC wanted an urban chick lounge vibe- flat screen plasmas played their slide show; bar seating surrounded the perimeter of the room; the parents of the bride cutting a rug on the dance floor!

What’s New in New York?

If anyone is considering a trip to New York for dress shopping, or just because, Nicki and Tara are raving about the new place to stay, The Greenwich Hotel. The restaurant, Locanda Verde, connected to the Hotel is also getting some serious attention. Tara and her family just returned from a fabulous trip there and have been talking about it non stop…

Also, Liz Banfield was up there recently shooting some stuff, and got some “professional” shots of our office… One jumps out at me… just because…

Birds of a Feather

It seems to me that hair pieces are the hot trend in wedding fashion, thankfully with the explosion of Etsy, there are as many styles out there for as many brides as there are…These are from the Wildspirits shop.
