Go to the Head of the Class – The Country’s Classiest Event Inspiration

by

There is no place that has classier events than the Obama White House.  The Duchess of Cambridge is sure to catch up sooner or later as an entertaining powerhouse. Being future queen of England, and a past event planner she’s uniquely qualified to surpass even Jacqueline Kennedy in the realm of entertaining world leaders.  But for the moment, she’s busy training her puppy not to eat trash, so the Obamas will have to carry the mantle.

While they do, official White House photographers are taking luscious photos of all the details.  You can catch great shots of state dinners, individually plated dishes, and other social and foodie events on the official WH blog:

The White House website also has photo galleries full of state dinners, receptions and luncheons that inspire.

So go on, class it up!

Amazing Ceremony Decor Idea – Artists Are Full Of ‘Em!

by

This image, from the photostream of fiber artist Odile Gova, is a phenomenal idea for a ceremony site full of trees.  Labor intesive to be sure, wrapping trees in lace would be no picnic. But the greater point here is the non-traditional source of the idea.  I found the image on Pinterest – but nowhere near the “weddings/events” category.  My point – event design is an art – so why not follow the lead of visual artists? Cast your net beyond Mindy Weiss and Martha Stewart.  Think outside the Tiffany & Co. box, people!

You Must Remember This…Ingrid Bergman’s Casablanca Style Only Gets Classier As Time Goes By

by

Brides would do well to remember this look, as they wait for that end-of ceremony moment that is definitely more than just a kiss. Ingrid Bergman’s elegant upsweep and simple fresh-faced make-up would be perfect for any wedding. And if you’ll always have Paris as a honeymoon spot? All the better.

Thanks to the brilliant and beautiful Kelli Marshall for finding a perfect photo, and inspiring minds with her MediAcademia blog.

All she needs is a veil!

Be well, and love well!
