I'm one of those creative type-A personalities that awakes with an idea at 4 am and stirs for hours just thinking about the details. For example, last night I found myself in deep thought about the below Vargas Girl print. It's been hanging in my powder room for months, but suddenly I was intrigued by the playfulness of her coquette-like pink corset and black satin bow. Before long it inspired this "feminine meets film noir" inspiration board of soft blush and bold black for the retro-glamorous bride. It's funny because I often tell brides who are struggling with their wedding style or colors to buy a pocket journal and jot down things that inspire them throughout the day. Most times their personal style is hiding all around them in the things they've collected, purchased or surrounded themselves with. Well, if this isn't testament to my own words, I'm not sure what is. Hope you enjoy!
Whenever we are styling brides, we often turn to the beautiful work of Twigs & Honey. Owner and designer Myra Callan always amazes us with a constantly evolving array of creative, whimsical and romantic pieces... There's truly something to suit the taste of every girl we work with. Today I'm thrilled to share a few gorgeous items from Myra's latest campaign, as well our recent, in-depth conversation. After a quick glimpse at the beautiful images below, it's easy to see that Twigs & Honey is something special. So to sweeten the pot a bit, we asked Myra about the development of her line, her daily muses and inspirations, and how the whole creative concept came to fruition. I'm always so intrigued by the "how you got there" questions - and I think you will love her answers. How do you believe the Twigs & Honey concept came to fruition? I grew up in Oregon and was smitten with wildlife and nature from the beginning. I ended up pursuing an educational path that would foster these interests. I suppose I’d always liked pretty little things and fashion as well and my two different major interests in life came to a head while planning my 9-8-7 wedding to now hubby, Matt. After the wedding, I was still on such a creative high that I didn’t want to let that completely go and creating Twigs & Honey really allowed me to never let it go! Can you share some tidbits about your daily life? I like running, yes like it, but I don’t have much time lately for that. I love going to the movies and the bookstore with my hubby. I enjoy gardening and playing with our Siberian husky, Indy. I also go out with family for some stress relieving target shooting from time to time {I’m sure that’s a surprise!}. My favorite movie of all-time is Labyrinth, though the recent Inception is a close second. I’ve also seen every episode of The Office at least once, emphasis on “at least”...
What inspired you to develop your brand? I was inspired to develop Twigs & Honey by the enjoyment I received through creating pieces. I loved the idea of creating little bits of art you could wear and sharing it with the world. I also loved providing pieces for individuals wanting something unique and lovely. What was missing in the market that Twigs & Honey fulfills? When I first began my Etsy shop in January of 2008, there weren’t a ton of head piece makers on Etsy and Etsy itself wasn’t that old. I literally did an extensive search through the site to make sure that what I was creating was going to be new, fresh and original and not just what was already being done. After that, I wanted to provide a line of products that would be vintage and nature inspired but completely modern interpretations focusing on fine materials and craftsmanship. As time went on and more and more people started to jump on the head piece making bandwagon, I kept moving my brand into one that focused on technique and uniqueness. Most of my flowers (with the exception of some small vintage and reproduction vintage flowers) are completely made from scratch. Most of my pieces are hand sewn with good old needle and thread. I don’t’ even own a hot glue gun. I wanted to provide a product to the market that was lovely, stylish, unique and well-made and that’s about it! What initially sparked the Twigs & Honey concept? I began making small hair accessories in junior high because something always fascinated me about hair pretties and being 13, I couldn’t afford any from the store. I kept it as a hobby for years and for our 2007 wedding, I decided to DIY my hair piece and those of my bridesmaids (along with the boutonnieres and bouquets). I received a very positive response from friends and family and loved creating them so much that I decided to launch a little Etsy shop in January of 2008. After I made a sale in the first few days, I was hooked and things took off from there.
What do you like most about your job? Twigs & Honey gives me a creative outlet. I am a busy body and I have so many ideas bursting out of my head that Twigs & Honey really gives me an arena to let all that creative energy out into the world. I love that everyday is different. Most days are crammed with work from the early morning into the late night and right through the weekends, but it doesn’t feel like “work” since it’s really a passion. I also love all the talented and sweet people I get to work with and meet. I feel very lucky! Where to you draw everyday inspiration from? I draw inspiration from just about everywhere. More objectively, I gather a ton of inspiration every morning from my favorite blogs. More abstractly, I gather inspiration from the world around me. I love the environment and studied it for years so it’s hard not to have that influence my designs. A couple times a month or more, I dive into a stack of magazines at the bookstore and I love great wardrobe in movies and runway fashion. I like looking at high fashion dresses and blouses and then thinking to myself, “How can I make that into a head piece?”

We recently returned from the UAE and Dubai. Dubai is amazing and there are some fantastic beach resorts there. Of particular note, we enjoyed the Habtoor Grand resort and the One and Only.
However Dubai is located in the Islamic state of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Civil weddings are not possible. You need to get married in a church. It is extremely helpful if you are both of the same religion as mixed-religion marriages introduce a significant level of complexity. A blood test is required. And perhaps most difficult is that Dubai and the UAE explicitly prohibit those in the country on a visitor’s visa from marrying (effectively eliminating the country as a potential destination wedding hotspot).
This is a shame since Dubai and the UAE are so idyllic. Warm winter weather, killer beaches, tremendous shopping and amazing restaurants could make Dubai the must-go-to location for trendy destination weddings. If Dubai Ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum allowed his country to modernize, Dubai and the UAE could be a major center for destination weddings.

From the bride: We really wanted to give our family and friends a taste of why we love New York so much. We had the city as our backdrop for our ceremony. The Cooper Square Hotel rooftop overlooked the East Village, which is where Andrew and I met, where we have lived, and where we have spent most of our time together in New York. Our vision for the ceremony was an intimate New York experience with clean, modern architectural details... We juxtaposed this with our vision for the reception: a warm and lively dinner party at our favorite restaurant, Sala One Nine. It's a place we have so many fond memories of already and are excited to share with those closest to us.

Disney has launched a line of wedding gowns, which I have discussed in Fairy-Tale Wedding Dress? Disney Does Weddings back on February 22. Since I wrote on the topic, Reuters covered the story and has provided a photo (see picture below).
The "news" is that the gowns were debuted on Sunday in New York. The gowns will range in price from $1,500-$3,000.
According to the Reuters story:
The company was encouraged to delve into the high-end wedding business by the 2,000 weddings it hosts each year at its U.S. resorts — Walt Disney World and Disneyland — and its cruise line, according to McFann [Korri McFann, marketing manager for Disney Fairy Tale Weddings and Honeymoons].
Disney hopes to capitalize on soaring demand for destination weddings, in which couples and their guests turn their nuptials into wedding-vacations that often take place at resorts in tropical locations.

This past weekend, Sierra and Juliet of poppies + posies hosted a fabulous networking event for NYC wedding professionals in Sierra's Brooklyn loft. I had an absolute blast helping the ladies style fun details, and provided some cute lollipop gardens as sweet treats for their guests. Even though this wasn't a wedding event per se, the photos {courtesy of the amazing Jen Huang} are packed with inspiration for showers or smaller soirees... Among my favs: a DIY cupcake bar and "boozy lemonade" from Stuart and Welch catering, and little tea tins from Pearl River Mart, which doubled as catch-alls for everyone's b-cards {at a shower, I'd love to see them store well wishes or memory cards for the bride}. For more of Jen's fab photos, be sure to check out the complete feature on Style Me Pretty.

We are thrilled to announce that Merci New York has made it to the pages of Martha Stewart Weddings Magazine! Can you see me? Yes, that's right... I'm the awe-inspired blond in the far left corner, swooning over the luscious dresses sweeping down the runway. Each one was more gorgeous than the last, truly.Last month, Merci New York was thrilled to sit in on a runway-inspired fashion editorial that is now gracing the pages of Martha Stewart Weddings' {amazing} Fall 2010 Fashion Issue. The spread is packed with pages upon pages of luxe and stylish eye candy. From ethereal gowns {think Oscar de la Renta, Angel Sanchez, Carolina Herrera...} to elegant baubles {Harry Winston, Van Cleef and Arpels...} and every accessory in between {Christian Louboutin...}, it was truly a fashion-loving bride's dream -- and a wonderful afternoon for myself and fellow wedding bloggers Bee Kim of Wedding Bee and Jillian Clark of 100 Layer Cake. Also sharing the fruits of the MSW styling team's impeccable eye were industry style-luminaries Sylvia Weinstock, Mark Ingram, Ronnie Rothstein, Gabriella Risatti, and of course, Martha Stewart Weddings Editorial Director, Darcy Miller.... whom you can also see sitting around the front row of the stunning Ukrainian Institute, {which actually happens to be a tres-chic wedding locale for the uptown bride}. The historic Upper East Side mansion was actually a private home until 1955, and has played host to several posh events and iconic films in the past 50 years. It's beautiful architecture and dramatic moldings made me feel swept up and dropped down in the reels of Valentino: The Last Emperor. It was a phenomenal setting. But I digress. Let's talk fashion. Suffice it to say, my behind-the scenes i-Phone shots couldn't hold a candle to these gorgeous images... so you will just have to take my word on the pure scope of this project. As Sherri Caudell Brennan, MSW's Fashion Editor, swirled past endless racks of taffeta, lace and silk, and escorted me to her accessories pulls, my heart almost sank. Tables upon tables of stunning shoes anxiously awaited their five seconds of fame, including some very sparkly favorites by Giuseppe Zanotti, ribbony peep-toes by Badgely Mischka, and ever-chic Christian Louboutin pumps. Be-ribboned belts? Plush boleros? Blinding rings worthy for the likes of Tinsley Mortimer? Check, check and check! The back rooms were stocked with so many beautiful pieces, I wasn't sure how Sherry, Kate Berry and Daniel Biasatti could even select their looks. Their choices were remarkable though, and the pages of Martha Stewart Weddings proves it. Anyways, here I am waxing poetic, when you can actually experience this beautiful fashion editorial for yourself... The Martha Stewart Weddings Fall 2010 Fashion Issue hit newsstands this week, and I've already spied a few lucky brides perusing the pages at Hudson News at Grand Central Terminal. While they were probably {ie, most certainly} ogling over this spread, these are a few of the other articles they may have missed their train by reading:
The Shape of Things to Come: The New Look of Flowers- Centerpieces, bouquets, boutonnieres and more.
Works of Art: The culinary arts meet the visual arts in museum-worthy wedding cakes
Sealed With a Kiss: Creative ways to work love's sweetest and most iconic expressions into your day
La Dolce Vita: Lake Como, Italy, sets the scene for a New York City couple's lavish affair.
I'm one of those creative type-A personalities that awakes with an idea at 4 am and stirs for hours just thinking about the details. For example, last night I found myself in deep thought about the below Vargas Girl print. It's been hanging in my powder room for months, but suddenly I was intrigued by the playfulness of her coquette-like pink corset and black satin bow. Before long it inspired this "feminine meets film noir" inspiration board of soft blush and bold black for the retro-glamorous bride.
