April Showers

Bring May Flowers





Feeling Naughty or Nice?

Either way the women of Mélangerie, the amazing graphic design duo, will do their part to make your next event a reality. They designed the invites, the signage, "naughty & nice" favors, and the fortune guest book for this New York Fantasy Bridal Shower. Attending the pink and black event at the Morgan Hotel was again just one of the lovely perks of my job.

I came across Elana and Julie's original genealogy chart on an Australian wedding blog. What is a genealogy chart? Mélangerie says:

Wedding genealogies are customized charts, similar to a family tree, that detail the relationships of the bride and groom to all of their wedding guests. Great for the cocktail hour and receptions, these charts fill guests in on who’s a friend from childhood, a neighbor, a family member, and more. Wedding Genealogy charts also serve as a lovely piece of wedding memorabilia.

They are Brooklyn based, so we met and had an inspiring conversation as they showed me many of their past designs. Their invitations, programs, welcome gifts and ideas in general are clean, original and uniquely personal. I love their work. Don't plan a party without them, they are as nice as they are smart and talented. I think genealogy charts will become a lasting wedding tradition much like tossing the garter.

Here are photos from last Sunday's shower:










Thanks to Always a Bridesmaid for their hospitality,
Jessy from Fleurs for the beautiful flowers and Mark Joseph Cakes for the delicious cake.
