Italian Weddings – Overview

por | | 0 comments

Few things in this world could be more romantic than a destination wedding in Italy. The country's natural beauty, rich cultural history, and fantastic food lend itself perfectly to a destination wedding.The country is quite easy to navigate, but having a specialist assist you could be a tremendous assistance, especially working with vendors.

Planning your season is crucial. We were there in early June and it was already starting to get warm, especially in the South. By July or August, we imagine it could be unbearable. But late Spring and early Fall would be particularly nice.

Italy has a rich and varied geography. Do you want a mountain wedding in the lake region or Dolomites? Or is a quiet Tuscan villa more your style? Do your research carefully and pick the style that suits your personality best.

We will review specific regions in future postings.

Merci at the Martha Stewart Weddings + Sandals Destination Wedding

por | | 0 comments

So I admit. I've been holding off on a secret. {I know, I know, it's definitely not like me to stay tight-lipped around any fab wedding-related details, however}... here it is. On this beautiful, sunny morning, I am writing this post from here:Merci New York Hotel View BahamasGorgeous, sunny Great Exuma in the Bahamas. {And yes, that's my actual view}. I'm enjoying this amazing island as a guest of Martha Stewart Weddings and Sandals Resorts, who have partnered together to create six exquisite wedding themes for destination brides.
Over the next couple of days, I'll be gathering all the juicy tidbits you need to know about the beautiful new resort, the absolutely stunning wedding packages, and {wait for it...} the sure-to-be spectacular wedding of Liz and Colin, the lucky winners of the Martha Stewart Weddings Sandals Destination Wedding giveaway. They're here in the Bahamas for an all-expenses-paid wedding customized by Martha Stewart's team at Sandals Emerald Bay. Amazing, no?Martha Stewart Bahamas Destination Wedding WinnersThese past weeks, I've trailed the Martha Stewart Weddings team all around New York City, going to dress fittings, hair appointments and ring selections with Liz and Colin {see Darcy Miller's post on the Bride's Guide, here}. I'm thrilled to finally share a "behind the scenes" look at all the pre-Bahamian prep, as well as some inside scoop on this amazing locale.
And if that's not enough, this fall, Martha Stewart Weddings will reveal the details of the wedding in their destination issue, and I will also be featuring exclusive coverage {and additional images} of the event, right here on Merci New York.
So stay tuned now and later. I promise, it's sure to be fabulous.

Venting on Wedding Etiquette

por | | 0 comments

There’s the tendency for the wedding couple to become so self-absorbed and consumed with the details that skip on etiquette. This is bad form…

We were recently invited to a wedding that starts at 4:00pm on a Saturday. The reception starts at 6:30pm and there is NO dinner! Only appetizers. Now we can graze with the best of them, but it really is bad form not to have a dinner.

To top it off, we only received the wedding invitation three weeks before the actual wedding. (We’d received a save the date about 6 months out)

Folks, have some courtesy. Think about your wedding as if you are attending it as a guest. Think about what you would expect. Your guests are giving up a lot to be there with you and share in your special day. Show them some respect.

Title: Wedding diary 2

The 2nd entry of my wedding diary---We found a location so a little less venting but still venting. Brides-to-be, let me know what you think. How are you feeling? Tell me I'm not the only feeling the way I'm feeling. You can email me at maxwel56@hotmail.com and check out my wedding blog www.bridewithquestions.wordpress.com. Happy wedding planning :)

Title: Venting - Nothing Special

I'm not sure why I did this one the way I did. I like it though, to a degree.

"Venting"

Que es Rhonda's veda ve su Rhonda's,
de lune venda meda de senora,
Yo no tengo nada con,
te

venir avec moi,
nous fai-sons ensemble,
voyager le monde,
abonde,

mano infiel
corrupcion del
casamiento de
mi

That's why I can't see you
every day that I'm with you
I just want to leave you
there.
Venting is my way of
saying that I hate
every thing about you
now

usted es una senora,
de pinos y espinas,
me dolio rapida y
va

Veré usted quemando
en infierno cuando,
mi tiempo tiene,
viene

That's why I can't see you
every day that I'm with you
I just want to leave you
there.
Venting is my way of
saying that I hate
every thing about you
now

Silencio.
Mi odio es silencioso.

Rough Translation:
That is Rhonda' s prohibition, see Rhonda's a
mole sell measure of a lady,
I do not have anything with,
you

With me
we together
traveled the world
abound

unfaithful hand,
corruption of
the wedding of
me

That's why I can't see you
every day that I'm with you
I just want to leave you
there.
Venting is my way of
saying that I hate
every thing about you
now

you are a lady,
of pines and thorns,
hurt me fast and
go

I will see you bruning,
in hell when,
my time has,
come

That's why I can't see you
every day that I'm with you
I just want to leave you
there.
Venting is my way of
saying that I hate
every thing about you
now

Silence...
My hatred is silent.

In the Caribbean, nearly every country has a site. Here is a comprehensive list of Caribbean tourism and convention and visitor’s bureau websites:

Title: Cycling in Cambodia's Cardamom Mountains (Chi Phat Community Based Eco-Tourism)

Providing economic development in rural areas of Southeast Asia, while protecting the environment and wildlife, can be a major challenge. To address these related goals, Wildlife Alliance is supporting ecotourism development in the Southern Cardamoms Mountains, working with local communities like Chi Phat.

This commune of four small villages totalling roughly 2500 people is located in the Cardamoms Protected Forest, in an area that was severely affected by guerrilla warfare and bombing. Economic development stalled for decades due to conflict and economic isolation.

Covering 6% of Cambodia, the Cardamoms are home to most of the country's large mammals and half of its birds, reptiles and amphibians, including globally endangered and threatened species like Asian Elephants, Indochinese tigers, Malayan sun bears, Pileated gibbons, Siamese crocodiles, and Irrawaddy and Humpback dolphins. The Cardamoms includes a vast ecosystem with sixteen vegetation types, from dense evergreen rainforest to lowland swamps to coastal mangroves.

Wildlife Alliance began working in Chi Phat Commune in the heart of the Southern Cardamoms to implement Community-Based Ecotourism (CBET) as a way of conserving a region of exceptional natural and cultural significance. Wildlife Alliance is supporting Chi Phat in its effort to develop economically and ecologically sustainable tourism opportunities including trekking, mountain biking, wildlife viewing and bird watching, and improving access to waterfalls and Khmer Empire burial jar sites.

Wedding Weight Loss

por | | 0 comments

For many women, weight loss goes hand-in-hand with getting married. No one wants to wear a white (a notoriously slimming color, right?) dress and look unappealing in their wedding photos. Plus, most girls grow up waiting for their wedding day to be the best day of their life, so of course they want to look and feel their best.

An entire industry has been built around losing weight in preparation for the wedding. Everything from Bridal Bootcamp and Buff Brides to your local fitness club promise to help women get in shape for their special day. While I admit that my destination wedding (and particularly my wedding dress) was a huge motivation to slim down, I really wanted to get healthier and more toned as a life change. That meant the tried and true standby of eating less and moving more.

One tool that was particularly helpful in my journey to get healthy was SparkPeople.com. SparkPeople is a totally free website that helps you keep track of what you eat and how much you exercise, but it allows help you set other goals such as drinking enough water, stopping self-critical thoughts and doing things for others. It's certainly a weight loss website, but it's also about overall wellness. The site also features numerous message boards that provide a lot of support from people going through the same experiences.

From the time of our engagement to our wedding, I lost 75 pounds. When I ordered my dress 9 months before the wedding, I ordered the size I was at the time -- I've lost and regained weight in the past and didn't want to get stuck with a dress that was too small. By the time my destination wedding rolled around, I couldn't have been more excited to have it taken in several sizes.

There are a lot of different programs out there. You just need to find the one that works with you and stick with it. If I can lose 75 pounds before my wedding, anyone can do it!

Merci New York's No-Sew Bridal Headband DIY | Nonpareil Magazine

por | | 0 comments

Merci New York was thrilled to provide fashion styling for a Art Nouveau themed photo shoot that is currently gracing the pages of Nonpareil Magazine's latest, Issue #5. We pulled our looks through Kleinfeld, and worked alongside an all-star cast of key New York City wedding professionals, including Lindsay Landman Events, Sofia Negron Photography, Facetime Beauty Concierge, Double Happiness stationery and Chocolate Blossom Cakes, just to name a few...
merci-new-york-fashion-styling-headbandThe Nouveau-themed shoot took place in the Tea Room of the Prince George Ballroom in midtown -- and as always, we had a blast coordinating inspired looks that were indicative of the era, without appearing too costumed or dated. We'll touch base with more from the shoot in a few weeks {including some great behind-the-scenes shots and additional, unpublished looks}! But in the meantime, we wanted to share a detailed step-by-step for the fun "No Sew Bridal Headband" Merci New York created for the bride's look. This edgy-glam design translates far beyond bridal and is just so easy to create...
merci-new-york-headband-diy-suppliesSupplies
plain, unadorned flat metal headband
one yard neutrally toned grosgrain ribbon
two yards gold metallic netting
white millinery feathers
fabric glue
nonpareil-magazine-merci-new-york-diy-headbandInstructions
1. Beginning at the base of the headband, tightly wrap the neutral grosgrain ribbon up the band, working on the diagonal. Finish by securing the remaining grosgrain around the base with a touch of fabric glue.
2. Craft the netted “florette” by pinching and twisting the metallic netting approximately every four inches, as shown in photo.
3. Secure the florette to the grosgrain band by tying a second piece of netting around the center of the florette.
4. Affix a tiny drop of fabric glue to the base of about four or five millinery feathers. Place feathers amid the gaps of the florette by lacing the stems in and out of the metallic netting, as shown in photo. Wear your headband and look fabulously chic!

The Crosby Street Hotel | NYC Wedding Accommodations

Recently, I was fortunate to share a wonderful lunch and tour of the Crosby Street Hotel with an intimate group of wedding professionals. Needless to say, the company was wonderful, and the venue was so striking, I couldn't wait to share these images with you.
The Crosby Street Hotel | NYC Wedding AccommodationsThe "Spring" room is one of three private event spaces at the hotel {and my favorite for chic rehearsal dinners}. The space is so perfectly designed, only a few simple flowers and candles are needed to personalize an event.The Crosby Street Hotel | NYC Wedding AccommodationsA "Crosby Suite." High ceilings and full length windows with spectacular views of downtown New York make these high line suites perfect for pre-wedding pampering.

It's perfectly upbeat and wildly colorful.The Crosby Street Hotel | NYC Wedding Accommodations Okay, I know you all understand where Soho is, but I just had to throw this in. Really, I die! How cute is this illustration from the hotel's designers?

The Crosby Street Hotel is situated in the heart of Soho between Spring and Prince Streets. As the first stateside outpost from London-based Firmdale Hotels, owner-designer Kit Kemp maintains a fresh, contemporary and sometimes quirky look throughout the hotel's 86 individually designed rooms. Her emphasis on color, texture and unique art truly makes the Crosby Hotel a perfect locale for any wedding-related fete.

{Many thanks to PR-maven Lisa Barr for coordinating such a wonderful afternoon. It was a pleasure to chat with some of New York City's leading wedding professionals, and also meet Montreal's lovely ladies}!
