2014 Color of the Year!

Happy Holidays everyone!  I hope you're all having a wonderful season.  I have been busy wrapping up my wedding season and now onto planning holiday and birthday parties!  Sometimes I'm not sure what I love more.  But I do know that one of my FAVORITE days of the year is when Pantone announces their color of the year!  It is sure to be seen in the coming months all over fashion and events and I for one cannot wait!  

For 2014 Pantone has revealed their color of the year to be.......drum roll please...........

Radiant Orchid is a beautiful color and I cannot wait to see it used in 2014!  And while at first it might look just like a spring or summer color, it has great range.  

Rustic Romance when used with wild flowers at an outdoor wedding.

Tropical and Summery for these beautiful bridesmaids

Gold and Purple is a classic combination for a regal feel.  Perfect for a Fall Fete!  

Pair Radiant Orchid with gray and you can take it either vintage or modern for a winter wonderland wedding!  

Pantone has one again made an excellent choice and I can't wait to take advantage in 2014.  

From my family to yours

See you in 2014!  

Is it fall?

2013 has been a busy wedding season so far!  This summer flew by in a flash and now it's September!  I had my first fall wedding last night at Moraine Farm with Fireside Catering.  Jess and John planned a beautiful day and started Fall 2013 off right with some gorgeous details.  Here are a few of my favorites!  

My Favorite Bakery Cakes for Occasions in Danvers did this gorgeous cake!

A great start to a busy month....I'll be back with more updates soon!  

Happy Planning!

2012 Season Wrap-Up

So the 2012 season wrapped up at the end of last year and it was a great but busy season!  Below are some highlights from some of my favorite events!  2013 is already off to a great start, so I hope there is more to come!  

Emily & John - my first Jewish wedding!  

 

My first time at The Crane Estate in Ipswich.  A beautiful venue inside and out!  The back of the Estate has the rolling hill above that overlooks the ocean....one of my favorite venues!  

A little mood lighting at Elmbank

Something different for centerpieces at Moraine Farm, Beverly

One bride and groom had a bird theme....I spent one afternoon building this for their place cards - such a clever idea she had! 

A winter themed baby shower brunch

Followed by.....how I wrapped up my year.....

The newest team member of Eccellenza Events was born in January!  

I'm pleased to introduce Anthony!  (and the reason why my blog doesn't always get updated!)

I'm excited for the 2013 Season to kick off and hope to have more news to share! 

Happy Planning!
