In the Know

I have long been a fervent fan of Colin Cowie, writing a post about his book here.  The South African native has an eye for the magical and inspiring, a cool James Bond debonair and the ability to convince you that you, too, can throw spectacular parties.


I'm thrilled to have been invited to preview Colin Cowie's new website, Colin Cowie Weddings  Chock full of his advice on everything from chic flowers to proper undergarments and convincing your man to write thank you notes, this website is my new go-to for all things wedding.  It will be accessible through his main website by late October. 

Inspiration By Design

Preston Bailey is one of the world's premiere wedding planners/event designers.  In addition to the numerous jaw dropping events he has crafted, there are a number of fabulous books giving us mere mortals a peek at luxury worthy of the gods.  You can even take an event design class with the master himself!  I peek in at his website here, to scout out the new inspirations and ideas he has dreamed up for his celebrity clients.

His website has grown to include a community of brides and event planners who can comment on any element of Preston's website.  You could drop off the map hanging around there....tons of brilliant ideas.  One of the clever things he offers are a few wizards to help you design your own event.  I especially enjoy the color palette picker. 

Next time you need a little inspiration, let Preston Bailey's website (or one of his awe-inspiring books) inspire the creativity in you.
