Adventure Awaits Baby Shower
Behind every successful event are hours of meticulous planning – from decor to menu to activities. The process for my “Adventure Awaits” baby shower was certainly no exception and I can’t wait to share how beautifully it all came together.

COLOR INSPIRATION – Black and Gold
While planning my wedding last year, I began to notice that my decor palette was becoming all too neutral (how exciting can shades of white really be?) and begging for some jazz. So, I decided to take a walk through our gorgeous wedding venue, The New York Palace, for some color inspiration and immediately spotted this gorgeousness – a glimmering…
