Ivy and Aster | A Story of Love, Friendship + Fashion

por | | 0 comments

At long last, the Ivy & Aster site is live... and lovelies, are you in for the treat of all treats.
The line encompasses the fresh, young spin on bridal we've all been looking for... the perfect pairing of romance, whimsy and {le sigh!} true fashion.
Ivy & Aster delivers a novel spin on traditional wedding attire. Delicate silk fabrics are fashioned in modern, refined silhouettes, crafting the perfect mix of bridal style that is both ethereal and wearable. A chiffon flower, rows of ruffles, a velvety swiss dot, {essentially anything that is one part sweet and one part sass}, is expertly captured in the line... And as of this week, it's yours for the taking at Lovely Bridal Shop, and over 20 other bridal stores in the US, Canada and Hong Kong! Take a look {the story is just the icing on the cake}...

Gorgeous, no? Seeing as the campaign was photographed by the {amazing, ethereal, tres-talented} Elizabeth Messina, how could it not be?

All this being said, I was honored to help style this amazing project, and am beyond thrilled to share inspirations by Ivy & Aster's owner and designer, Jessica Brown, in our fun little interview, below.
ivy+aster+ukrainian+institute+merci+new+yorkWhat makes Ivy & Aster different from what is in the marketplace?
We felt there as a real need in the dress market for something young and whimsical, that still has the fit and polish that a professional bridal house can provide. Ivy & Aster dresses have a sweet innocence to them, and are refined without being too ‘simple’. And the best thing is, they fit like a DREAM {no yanking on that strapless dress all night!} We also take some cues from ready-to-wear trends, offering brides stylish gowns that she can personalize with cool accessories and add-ons. And we always want yummy and interesting fabrics. More of that to come next season.
ivy and aster bridesmaid dressesWhat inspires you?
We love a good story! Ivy & Aster was created as the ultimate story….the romance of wedding dress shopping. The characters are fictitious, but we plan on updating their stories along the way so you can read more about their adventures. We thought it would be fun to create a brand that the bride can get wrapped up in herself…it’s all about the fairy tale. We’ll also update our Diary every week with just anything that woos us…music, fashion, and other things that move us.
ivy and aster elizabeth messina photography merci new york lovely bridal shop west villageHow did Ivy & Aster ‘begin’ and where is it sold?
We just launched Ivy & Aster in October market, and already over 22 stores are carrying it {even one in Hong Kong!}. We have the best factories and the best fabric sources, so we are ready to grow quickly. Today, you can find the dresses at Lovely in NYC, but check out our site to find other stores that will get Ivy & Aster in January.
ivy and aster elizabeth messina merci new york lovely bridal shopWhy are brides already in love with Ivy & Aster?
We think the best email we’ve gotten so far is one bride who has said, ‘this brand really understands me, I’m going to have a hard time choosing just one dress’. We are so excited that we are connecting with brides who are young and hip and romantic. They love living the dream with us! Oh, and we also think they love the awesome prices for the quality they are getting.
ivy and aster elizabeth messina merci new york lovely bridal shopIf you could dress one celebrity in Ivy & Aster, who would it be?
Hands down, Zooey Deschanel. She has an innate sexiness, but still has a playful, girly look to her. She is not afraid to be fashionable, but always looks effortless, just like Ivy & Aster!

On the glasses they hang suspended from a delicate wire adorned with multi-colored beads.

They come packaged in a gift box to make life easy for you.Beach Theme Ideas For Your Wedding

Title: The Beach Theme OST 【HQ】

Main theme from The Beach composed by Angelo Badalamenti. From the original motion picture soundtrack (OST) for The Beach (2000), starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Daniel York. This is not to be confused with "Swim To Island" which was a variation of the main theme, also included in the score. Scenes depict the mid-coastal region near Morro Bay and Monterey, California.

HOW I FOUND THIS:

I hadn't yet seen the movie The Beach when I accidentally stumbled onto the song. It was used on a blog by an American foreign exchange student living in northern Japan as the background music to his home page. I had to contact him by email first to find out the name of the song, then I scavenged all over the net. I then found the OST (original soundtrack) recording on an obscure website. I've since heard several versions of this on YouTube, but not this exact version... which I believe is the best!

Summer Inspiration | Dewdrop Designs by Gillian Stevens

por | | 0 comments

So it seems the universe really wants me to go on vacation. My inbox has become a goldmine of pretty little gems for the jet-set... and since every submission is more gorgeous than the next- I'm just going to succumb {and spend the next week beachside in New England}!
For the remainder of the week, Merci New York will be sharing getaway-bound inspiration. So if your headed to your honeymoon, or just prepping for the holiday weekend - we certainly have got the goods to keep you chic. First up: stylish recycled luxury leather goods from Gillian at Dewdrop Designs.gillian-stevens-bridesmaid-gifts-nycgillian-stevens-wedding-gift-album-new-yorkgillian-stevens-leather-goods-summer-bridal-album-giftgillian-stevens-bridal-gift-leather-albumgillian-stevens-designsReally, can Gillian's gorgeous designs get any more beach-chic?
From bridesmaid gifts to summer self-indulgences, the whole Dewdrop line is pretty posh {and very versatile}. Gillian's cuffs just epitomize relaxed cool, and her tiny travel journals are to die for.
And while they certainly double as great guest books, I'm already dreaming of carrying one of her pretty little notebooks to the beach. The pages are hand stitched to the leather using natural beeswax and linen bookbinding and open flat so you can draw {and daydream} all the way into the margins.

Muriel City Suite from Mae Mae Paperie | Wedding Invitations

por | | 0 comments
mae mae new york city wedding invitationmae mae new york city wedding invitationmae mae new york city wedding invitationmae mae new york city wedding invitationmae mae new york city wedding invitationmae mae new york city wedding invitationLe swoon. I've always loved Mae Mae Paperie, but now that Megan Knight Gonzalez has added a city vignette to her Muriel Suite, I cannot help but be obsessed.
Megan brings a distinct style to her work. She does a wonderful job pairing just the right typefaces that nestle together in just the right way... and her illustrations always suit a theme perfectly, never erring on stodgy or silly, but striking the perfect note for whimsical, elegant and inspired weddings.
I first came across the Mae Mae line several months ago, while scoping stationery ideas for a client... Megan's Muriel Mountain Suite {oh yes, she caters to several locales!} popped up with a small postscript advising "city design coming soon". Of course, I enthusiastically emailed Megan asking her to share her final vision with readers, and I am just so thrilled she's passed this our way last night...
Truly, could this be any more perfect?

Travel Insurance for Destination Weddings

por | | 0 comments

One aspect of destination weddings that people often neglect is travel insurance. Destination weddings involve travel and sometimes the worst case can happen – a trip gets cancelled due to weather, illness or something else.

Travel insurance can protect you from these cancellations and problems. If your trip gets cancelled, you can get a refund. If you should encounter a medical problem, most travel accident insurance can get you good medical care. Personally, we both carry International SOS coverage through our employers for emergency medical. However, that wouldn’t help us with the financial piece of a cancelled trip.

If you purchase travel insurance, make sure it covers trip cancellation, trip delay and medical coverage. Most insurance coverage also covers lost or stolen luggage and personal property.

Do your homework to make sure you’re getting a good policy. Be sure to read all the fine print and ask lots of questions. Also, make sure your policy will cover the wedding (or "event") portion of your trip, not just the travel part.

From our perspective, travel insurance is mandatory for a destination wedding. Given the amount of money you’re spending on your big day, it’s better than taking any chances.

Title: Bolivian Car Insurance - Lonely Planet Travel Video

Every weekend in Copacabana, lucky locals bring their new cars to church for a baptism. After they've dressed the car up in flowers and doused it in champagne, the priest comes around and blesses it (for a small donation, of course). It's certainly cheaper and more fun than car insurance! Bolivia video.

Sue and Brian

por | | 0 comments



Sue and Brian's marriage ceremony was in New York, but they wanted to share their special day with family and friends back home. It certainly was not an easy task to pull off, but Sue and Brian blended their two cultural traditions into a beautiful Korean and American wedding celebration. Their evening started off by wearing traditional Korean wedding outfits. Everyone then had the chance to view the Korean wedding ceremony. Sue and Brian then changed into traditional American wedding outfits and continued their night with a reception at the Crowne Plaza Hotel Chicago-Northbrook. After watching this wedding trailer, you can see why family is so important to them.

Bridesmaid Dresses

Bridesmaid Dresses
We had a very difficult time finding bridesmaid dresses we liked that were also affordable. Many dresses looked like cheap prom/homecoming dresses rather than a cute yet classy, beach-appropriate bridesmaid dress.

Hands down, the best dresses we found were the from the Ann Taylor Celebrations line. They make it easy by selling coordinated dresses, sashes, bags and accessories in vibrant colors. It’s also important that you don’t have to order them and wait a long time to get it. They also offer bridal gowns and even matching flower girl dresses. Last summer they had a beautiful light blue that was perfect for a beach wedding!

The disadvantage is that they only carry it at 40 select stores nationwide (thankfully the one near us carried it). You can order online, but this is the kind of thing you really want your girls to try on.

The runner-up was Jessica McClintock. While many of her dresses fell into the “prom” category, she did have several that made our bridesmaid Amanda happy and didn’t make her look like she was in high school.
