Rene van Rems - Designer extraordinaire





I had the pleasure of attending a design lecture by the renowned Rene van Rems (an incredibly talented dutch designer for those of you who aren't familiar with him). He is truly inspired by nature and has a more organic approach to his design style. His stories from doing more than 1,000 weddings were inspirational and made everyone there that night realize that at the end of the day, all we want as a designer is to make sure our clients have an amazing event/wedding.

I've added some pictures from that night that i thought were pretty incredible. Enjoy!

Going Green

Everywhere you look these days, people are talking about 'going green.' It's in every magazine, television advertisement, and grocery store aisle. It has also spilled over into the world of weddings (in fact, I was standing in line at the grocery store and saw a magazine that said one of the soap operas is 'planning' a green wedding with The Knot).

We have found some amazing products for those brides who are looking for ways to include this oh-so-important trend into their big day. There are containers that have been made from recycled paper, colorful glass vases that are made from recycled materials, and favor boxes that are made from 100% recycled paper products.

We are working on a 'green' idea for the Paul Labrecque event April 16, 2007 in NYC. If you haven't signed up, be sure to call Jessica Steinman at the salon. You don't want to miss out on a great evening of fun, fabulous ideas, and terrific vendors.
