caketopper.jpgJulie Taras Wallach, my friend & very recent client emailed a link to the most adorable wedding cake toppers. They are so great & I wanted to share the link with everyone. Great toppers aren’t easy to find.

I always recommend Ann Wood who creates handmade birds for cake toppers from vintage fabrics.

Julie Taras Wallach’s wedding is featured in a gallery on our site.

She used Patch NYC for her cake topper, but please have a look at this new source Julie found.

To the left is a photo from this collection. They would be perfect for bride/groom, groom/groom or bride/bride. They are custom, so you can order any combo appropriate for your special day!

Julie is one of my favorite clients ever & she owns a wonderful restaurant here in NYC…Little Giant. Please visit her restaurant. She is so talented & passionate about her work & you will not be disappointed.

We haven’t received the professional photos of this event but I thought you would all enjoy images from my own camera for a peek at a wonderful party we did earlier in the year. The party was outside of Los Angeles near Newport Beach. The fabulous Lyndsey Hamilton of LHE was the planner for this party & she introduced my team to the very cool client. We had a great time designing this event. I called Raj Tents to install a magical Moroccan world in the garden & pool areas of the property. The client’s home was already full of inspiration for this exotic decor so it all worked perfectly & her husband was delighted by his surprise birthday party!

We just returned from our fabulous trip to Italy!

We had such a fantastic time and can’t wait to share some pictures with you. As you may know from our first post, the wedding was in a small town about an hour north of Rome called Orvieto–which is known for its intricate lace, delicious black truffles, wild boar and white wines. We couldn’t help but instantly fall in love with this environment and the locals.

We have a few great photos of Paola the local wedding planner and Cristina who owns the restaurant used for the reception. These will be posted soon, but for now here are a few snapshots from the trip, enjoy!

Stay tuned for more…

We recently worked on a beautiful wedding in Milton, NY at the Buttermilk Falls Inn. Despite the mid-morning downpour everything came together, dried out and we had a successful event!

Take a look at some quick shots I took of the wedding. We had so much fun working at this beautiful venue, the views overlooking the Hudson were gorgeous!

This may be backpedaling a bit, but I wanted to post some behind-the-scenes photos from the wedding we did earlier this year in Turks and Caicos. You can see the event gallery here, but we also shot a series of photos that may be included in a very special project I’m currently working on but will keep the details a secret for now! Enjoy these great images. You will see the fabulous Kimmy & Amanda hard at work!  It was such a fun weekend and a beautiful wedding.

This is so exciting to finally have our own blog. Many of my friends, clients and colleagues have insisted that we get to work on this and we are now making it happen! Thanks to all of Jack’s hard work on the re-design for our amazing and beautiful website…we have an entire new Artfool world to offer with many new events, press photos & details.

In addition to the new site, we have been very busy relocating our entire company to a new space in Chelsea. We are currently making preparations to renovate and design our new showroom, studio and office space…all under one roof! I’m so excited to finally have our entire team in one central location and so much new space to share with our fabulous clients as we develop new ideas, projects and inspiration!

Not only are we doing all of the above but we are feverishly preparing for one of our favorite weddings of the Summer. The wedding is in Orvieto, Italy and we can’t wait to share all of our adventures from Italy in the coming months. I’m posting a few photos from our site visit in May. It was impossible to not find endless design inspiration in the history, the beautiful surroundings and the local architecture. I can’t wait to return soon for the actual events!!

We will keep you posted with all of our favorite finds, foods and travels from Orvieto & Rome.

I hope you are all enjoying a wonderful Summer!
