My sister and friends have been asking me when I'm going to post the rest of Jennifer and Adam's wedding after I posted this sneak peek. They are in love with Jennifer's veil.  Sadly, folks, it's not for sale. Jennifer's very talented mom made it. She also is the brains behind this wedding and helped coordinate it along with her good girlfriend.

It was such a lovely day and I really love so many of the wedding's details. Instead of guest favors, they donated to charity.  They placed vintage family wedding photos on each table for the guests, and Jennifer wore the same necklace her mother wore to her wedding. Since both the bride and groom's fathers' birthdays are in January, Jennifer and Adam delivered special cake and pie to them as the guests sang "Happy Birthday." Instead of one cake to be sliced for the guests, each table had a cake for the guests to cut. It was a great icebreaker.

Meaningful heirloom items and thoughtful touches really elevate a wedding into a classy affair. Speaking of class, Jennifer is the epitome of sophistication and elegance, and Adam's adoration of her is so awe-inspiring. Everybody should have a special someone who looks at them the same way Adam looks at Jennifer.

So sit back, grab a cup of hot cocoa and feast your eyes on Jennifer and Adam's lovely affair. There are a ton of photos. :)  Also, check out the slideshow afterward, which has even more photos.

I worked my second wedding show yesterday. My first one occurred when I was in high school and participated in a runway show for a bridal wear shop. I was young and skinny, so I traipsed down the runway, did my thang, and afterward enjoyed tasting various cake from vendors.

During yesterday's show I didn't walk any runways, but I certainly did my thang and even ate a miniature cupcake afterward: my love for sweets as strong as ever.

I met some fabulous brides and grooms at the "Love at Breathtaking Heights" show in addition to some outstanding wedding vendors. I had a ball. Also you might be wondering how my scared-of-heights husband managed being on the 65th floor.  He managed, albeit a bit white-knuckled. (Thank you, honey!)

So for those of you who missed it, here's my booth:

Along with my husband...

This Saturday come join me and my husband at the "Love at Breathtaking Heights" show at the Metropolitan Club.  Speaking of heights, you all should come just to support my husband, Johnny, with his, um, fear of heights.  You know I gotta keeper when he's willing to brave 64 stories to help me mingle with the newly engaged. I'm bringing albums, canvas art prints, my new Mac with wedding slideshows and giving away a free engagement session, so bring a friend and come say "hi!"

Here are more details:
