It’s Vintage Wednesday!! But, What is Vintage Exactly?

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

Wednesdays are now vintage Wednesdays on my Kate Parker Wedding!  For our first vintage Wednesday, we thought it would be a good idea to show examples of vintage items that are featured throughout weddings.  We’ll go through everything from tableware to the brides veil.  Since vintage, classic, and rustic sometimes overlap each other, we thought we would pull out components from weddings that epitomize what vintage is!  Click on the photographs to see which vendors are featured and check out our vintage tutorial below!

Vintage Gown:

A Shout Out to Our Vendors Featured in Brides Connecticut

Thursday, December 17th, 2009

We came across some of our my Kate Parker Wedding vendors in the magazine, Brides Connecticut, and are very excited to see them being featured.  We wanted to share our excitement and give some credit to these wonderful vendors!  Check them out!

Traci Romano Bride's CT Editorial

Above: Traci Romano Editorial, Brides Connecticut

Connecticut wedding planner, Traci Romano, was featured in Brides Connecticut giving advice to couples on their wedding day.  We especially enjoyed the advice on using sandpaper to roughen up those soles!  What a good idea for a slip-free night.  The advice from Traci was a great way to let couples know that it is okay to enjoy your day, have the focus be on you, and take the time to enjoy every moment to its fullest!

Connecticut wedding caterer, A Thyme to Cook, was featured in Brides Connecticut giving ideas for entrees that will satisfy every guests’ palate!  In order to keep your budget in line and to keep pre-wedding stress at a minimum, A Thyme to Cook gives tips about using one entree for all.  The choices sound delicious!

Leslie Dumke Bride's CT Featured WeddingBride's CT Real Wedding Leslie Dumke

Connecticut wedding photographer, Leslie Dumke, was featured in a Real Wedding in Brides Connecticut.  The photographs featured captured every essence of the day from pre-wedding preparations to the reception.  The photograph with the newlyweds, Mia and Craig, on the dance floor is my personal favorite!  Leslie seemed to capture each moment flawlessly.

Connecticut wedding attire, The White Dress by the Shore, was featured teaming up with Beneath the Gown in Brides Connecticut.  The White Dress by the Shore gave advice on gown styles that are classic for brides, while Beneath the Gown gave advice on undergarments for these gowns.  What a great way to team up and make these steps easier on the bride!

Jubilee Events Bride's CT personal wedding feature

Above: Jubilee Events‘ Personal Wedding, Brides Connecticut

Connecticut wedding planner, Jubilee Events, is featured in Brides Connecticut for a personal wedding story.  Candice Dowling Coppola of Jubilee Events shares her special day and shares some of the advice she would give to couples during the wedding planning process.  I really love how Candice says that a wedding ‘evolves’ and not to be freaked out if you don’t know exactly what you want in the beginning.  Have fun with it!  Candice’s intimate, unique, and beautiful wedding seemed to come into place perfectly.

Connecticut wedding photographer, Justin & Mary Marantz, were featured in a Real Wedding in Brides Connecticut.  We loved how all of the photographs reflected the couples’ vision on an intimate, relaxed wedding.  The colors and the black and white are a perfect mixture and captured our eye as we were flipping through the magazine.  Justin & Mary’s sense of knowing what couples are looking for, shines through in their photographs.

Jubilee Events Bride's CT Editorial

Above: Jubilee Events Editorial and Carla Ten Eyck, Brides Connecticut

Connecticut wedding planner, Jubilee Events, is featured twice in Brides Connecticut.  In this article, Jubilee Events shares a reception table design that pops with color.  The design is a mismatched place setting on a clean, crisp, white table.   Although no place setting is the same, they go together because of the colors and the hot pink that ties everything together.  What a cool idea for couples that are looking to make their table top stand out!

Connecticut wedding photographer, Carla Ten Eyck, was also featured in the article above in Brides Connecticut.  Her photographs helped capture the elements of the table design that stand out.  The photograph of the eclectic plates is my favorite.  The composition lets you see the beautiful gold silver contrasting the white table and, of course, that awesome hot pink plate that pops on the table!

Connecticut wedding paper products, Ceci New York, was featured in Brides Connecticut for their personal wedding and their beautiful invitations.  Lisa Johnson of Ceci New York, shared her wedding day as well as some insight into her own wedding invitations.  I love how Lisa incorporated aspects of her husband’s style and her own style into the invitations.  Lisa said that the personal touch gives guests a sneak peak into your wedding and most importantly, make sure you represent yourself!

Jubilee Events
Phone: 203.632.5654
Website: www.eventjubilee.com
Blog: http://eventjubilee.com/blog
myKPW State and Budget: CT $50-80k and $80k+

Number of years in business: 2 years

Preferred wedding locations: New England, specifically Connecticut. I absolutely ADORE a chic Connecticut wedding!

Pricing information: Our pricing varies based on our clients’ needs, but we start just under $2,000.

What makes me stand out in my industry: I came into the industry with a fresh perspective – I’m young, fun, enthusiastic and have a different eye for weddings and the industry as a whole. I truly believe my art background plays a HUGE role in the design of a Jubilee Event!

What’s the favorite part of what I do: I absolutely love the design process – it’s my favorite part. From the big picture to the small details, I just love it all! I equally love being a part of my clients’ personal history. It is such an incredible thing to be so intimately involved in someone’s wedding day.

What do I like to do in my spare time: Spare time? Ha! No really, most of my time is devoted to doing what I love, and that’s my business. When I’m not working I love to hang with my husband, family, and friends. I love a good glass of wine, a book, and some fun reality TV.

What charity am I supporting and why: I’m supporting the American Cancer Society because SO many of my loved ones have beaten or succumb to cancer. It’s such an important charity, in my eyes, and we all have a personal tie to the disease.

Check some images of Candice’s favorite events from the 2009 season below:

We love the way Candice took traditional wedding elements and added a chic, modern twist so that they would work well in this urban space:

How fun is this photo?! We love the emotion so clearly captured:

One of the new wedding traditions is to have your bridesmaids choose a dress style that flatters their body shape. They’ll be happier and more at ease if the dress fits them well and it will show in your wedding photos. We love that this bride chose various shades of blue – proof that you don’t have to be completely matching in your wedding color palette if the colors complement one another.

We love the romantic and vintage wedding vibe in this photo:
