Here are a few more bits of eye candy from Amy and Alex's St. Helena affair...
The teeny tiny crystal chandeliers, the small, monochromatic pink flowers (with the bridal bouquets being used as a centerpiece), the simple table cards...everything is gorgeous. Lisa Lefkowitz did an incredible job capturing the magic of the evening, the details that made the entire wedding really sparkle.
Some tips if you are NOT...
Okay, now on to the really, really, REALLY gorgeous details from Amy and Alex's wedding...all shot by the fabulous Lisa Lefkowitz!
I mean, come on! How beautiful is all of this? From that insanely perfect cake, which was crafted by Patisserie Angelica to the rather unbelievably beautiful centerpieces by...
We are featuring the most lovely Lisa Lefkowitz photographed affair today, with details that are going to make your heart skip a beat. But before we get to those, I wanted to share these GORGEOUS shots of the bride and groom.
So much more to come, stay tuned! Oh and the gown is by Lazaro, the suit by Hugo Boss.
Okay, this flower girl dress (I think it's just a little girl's dress, but it would make a great flower girl dress) is perfection. It's completely handmade using the softest cotton and finest ribbons and in a word, it's adorable. The dress is made to order, so you need to allow a little bit of time when purchasing. Love...
I am a little bit obsessed with this wedding. Actually, I am a little bit obsessed with everything that Lisa Lefkowitz sends me. She is pure talent and because of that, she is lucky enough to book some of the most wonderfully stylish clients. Kim and Alex were married this past August at a private residence in St. Helena.
I know, it's really hard to imagine having a wedding at a private home, BUT, there are some pretty...
It may seem like we're fixated on tropical weddings this week on The Little Black Book Blog ... (and maybe we are) ... but this wedding sent to us by the incredible floral design team at Flowergirls is just too cute to pass up!
Chrissy Lambert, also a Little Black Book member, did a fantastic job...

Without sounding too cliche, Anne and John really hit the details out of the park.From the sweet stationery to the stunning flowers by Hana Floral...every element was so thoughtfully designed, so beautifully executed.
From Anne...
We purchased green linen napkins to match the green on the invite at a discounted price. The centerpieces which were beautiful, were designed to reflect the hydrangea on the...
Now on to the simple, traditional ceremony. I know that so many of you are having church ceremonies in the chapel that you grew up in, and this one is just that. I think that they key to hosting something like this is to remember that the beauty of the ceremony...the words, the love, the everything...is what you should focus on. If you want to bring in decor elements, keep them simple and modest.

This is the perfect example of why I am so in love with stationery and all things paper. The right paper suite can bring that element of chic and charm to every detail.

I designed and produced everything. This was a long process since designing for yourself allows you way too much freedom which enables you to...
I am IN LOVE with the flowers from today's affair. They are pure gorgeousness. The greens are so vibrant, so timeless and yet have that pop of modern loveliness that makes this affair really stand out.

From the bride...
Three of the bridesmaids had one single flower (spider mum, hypericum berries, or green hydrangeas) for their bouquet. The two maid...
I love today's wedding. It's one of those weddings where the bride really paid attention to detail, to crafting a wedding that reflected her own loves and those of her now husband's. It's perfectly approachable, perfectly doable and perfectly lovely.

From Anne...
Ok.... where do I begin. As of September 27, 2008, my name is Anne McAndrew Callahan...
I know, this FABULOUS decorative tape by Tapewell has already made the blog rounds quite thoroughly, but I just couldn't resist. Think about what these will do to your wedding favor packages! A simple white box, taped up with one of their perfect graphic designs...voila! Easy and unbelievably chic. I am also loving this lace tape by Oboiler that...
For some reason, I have been really loving mismatched bridesmaids dresses these days. There is something effortlessly elegant, as if the girls chose the dress from their own closet and just showed up looking that perfect together. So, when Anne sent me this great before/after of her bridesmaids dress planning, I really wanted to share!
I love that she was able to "map" it all out before the girls made their purchase so as to ensure that they would look beautiful together. The...
In keeping with the destination wedding theme from yesterday ... we have a very touching film for you today from Holley and Paul Jackson, Four Seasons Films. They are two of our finest Little Black Book cinematographers, and after watching this vignette of Monisha &...
Thank you so very much to the fabulous Patricia Kantzos for sending us today's affair! If you aren't already familiar with Patricia's work, you really have to check out her blog and website. Filled with tons of good stuff. And, of course, to Aimee and Steven for letting us share their day with us!
There is something so warm and inviting about Aimee and Steven's Greenwich Village affair. Just a wonderful dinner with those you love. Plus, the brides is this little piece of beautiful, making the whole evenings seem like a fairytale...

So much more on the...
We are giving you a double whammy today with two totally different, but equally gorgeous weddings. This next one is all about the pretty. Shot by Patricia Kantzos, Aimee and Steven were married this past April at The Waverly Inn & Garden, Greenwich Village NYC with a handful of close friends and family...

Aimee met Steven through a friend - by chance. She was living up in Woodstock, NY...
Well ... now we're moving on to the day after Kevin and Jennifer's very romantic beach wedding at Playa Del Carmen, Mexico. Mind you, it's January ... gotta' LOVE Mexican winters!
If you're just joining us, and you haven't seen their actual wedding day ... you have to take a look ... start {here}, then...
Our next featured wedding for the day (yep...we are doing TWO!), is the total opposite of our earlier affair. It's light and Springy, sweet and colorful. Sent to us by Patricia Kantzoz, this wedding just makes me happy.
Lots more details and photographs on the...
