I'm packed up and heading out before the season kicks in. Jonathan has been working in Vietnam for the past 3 weeks and it seems like the perfect excuse to meet him and celebrate our birthdays and valentines. I'm looking forward to sun, sand, new sights, flavors, adventures, wonders and my love! I will be away until the 23rd of February and will be in touch as soon as I return. I'm looking forward to returning refreshed and inspired and sharing the launch of my new site... Until then! XO!

| SARAH + CRAIG | NOVEMBER 15, 2011 / WEDDINGS |
I've been meaning to post this wedding for some time now. I can't speak highly enough about Sarah and Craig. I immediately fell in love with them as soon as I met them! They had a really beautiful wedding at the Metropolitan Building which is an old restored electrical parts factory that now houses old antiques and is available for photo/film shoots and events. Here's a little highlight from their wedding and you can view more here on Style Me Pretty.
From Sarah...
'When Craig and I began planning our wedding, we envisioned an event that had the warmth of our annual New Year's Day open house, where people linger all day at our Brooklyn apartment. It's become an institution, but an easy one: There's no start time or end time, no dress code; the food is always good enough to disappear, but unfussy enough that the conversation is the main event. As we began searching for venues, we soon realized that the words "easy" and "wedding" didn't typically fit into the same sentence. A country wedding seemed too complicated; a big-city wedding too flashy. Then I walked through the Metropolitan Building, an events space in Long Island City, Queens, owned by an antiques dealer. The former electrical parts factory is literally a storehouse of treasures; the nooks and crannies are decorated to the hilt, and as you look around, you can't help but see the remnants of a thousand other celebrations. The space was big enough for a crowd, but intimate and comfortable enough to make people feel like they were in their own worlds. We were sold.
The rest of the party sprouted up from there, sown from a few simple ideas: For a mix of old and new—inspired by our venue and our taste in music—we hired Lapis Luna, which plays a mixture of jazz and swing, but covers everything from Billie Holiday to Billy Idol. For our May Day wedding date, Jeff at Pennington Flowers wove cherry blossoms and candles into the most spectacular chuppah, accenting the rest of the eclectic space with soft spring echoes. And the hard work of Chef Rossi at the Raging Skillet and Christine Viola at Exquisite Affairs Productions created an evening so seamless that both Craig and I were able to focus the most beautiful moments of all—the ones that could have happened in our living room, but that we wanted to share with 200 people: The warm voice of my family's rabbi, who also married my parents, who flew in from my Ohio hometown for the occasion. The original song that my father played on his guitar—the one he wrote for me when I was twelve. Speeches and toasts by a few, partner dancing for many, and, most of all, our vows, which we each wrote in our apartment, when the other wasn't looking. It was exactly right: A feeling as new as our marriage and as familiar as the faces surrounding us. And thanks to Heather Waraksa's genius, we can re-live it any time we want."
