Events to a T

opps – so this was supposed to go last week and never did! so here you have it now

These two have been together since infancy, well ok, for like 9 years, but regardless, it is forever considering their age. They are adorable, enthusiastic and smart as can be. I am in love with their vintage inspired engagement session on the shore along with some beautiful more natural shots we will share with you tomorrow, all by Kathryn Croskey Photography.

As summer closes out and planning for 2013 weddings are in full swing, I can’t help but wonder…will the trends of 2012 still hold out for 2013 weddings and events? Or what are the new trends you think are coming our way? I can’t wait to see. But in the meantime, I’m curious as to the fate of the following.

My $10,000 Wedding

Last month I started watching Mad Men, the hit TV show set in a 1960s ad agency on Madison Avenue. The show portrays the 60’s as a time of great innovation in fashion and technology, making it one of my favorite decades to use as a theme for an event. When people think of decade themed events they may think kitschy and cheap, however this is not the case. The added retro accents to your event make it fun, exciting and even sexy, while keeping that wedding feel.

Kelsi Dagger “Tildia” Suede & Patent T-Strap Pump – So vintage, love!

I do love most anything vintage-esque and that includes brides in gloves. I so wish I had worn white little gloves. They look so lady like, demure, different and adorable. I just love it!

So retro! I can’t tell if they are pink and black or white and black, but who cares, either way they are amazing!

Vintage Oxford Pumps – to die for!

This is by far my favorite engagement session ever because of how adorable my clients are! These two could be models! But in reality they are just this wonderful, unassuming, extremely kind couple who are super fun and cute and adore one another. Add all that together and you get this amazing shoot by One Summer Day.

Everything old is new again. Doesn’t matter what era you prefer, vintage is in in a big way right now and I personally adore it! You have to have the right style and  sometimes body type to pull off these daring looks, but if you can manage it, I say go for it. Mix it with some modern or go all the way vintage, either way looks amazing.
