Wednesday Inspiration: Ralph Lauren Outdoor Entertaining

I was browsing the Internet for inspiration for  a photo shoot that I'm styling today, and came across this enchanting image.  It is a Ralph Lauren Outdoor Dinner Party.  Whether it's a stately staged estate scene, or an organic outdoorsy setting.  Ralph Lauren (and his brand stylists), always nail it on the "chic" head.

Brides Magazine and Riedel Crystal Competition

About two months ago I was invited by Brides Magazine and Riedel Crystal to take part in their national tabletop design challenge.

Riedel generously allowed me take my pick from their gorgeous collection.

Once I saw their glamorous pink champagne flutes, it was all over.  I found the perfect product that allowed me to incorporated my signature touch of pink.  With that said, I knew I it would take a lot more than pink champagne flutes to win over America's affection with fierce competition on tap like Sasha Souza and Birch Design Studio.

Beverly Hills Hotel Wedding, Hollywood Glam

There are many, many event venues throughout the world that have stolen my heart, but, there are none quite like the Beverly Hills Hotel.  The Old Hollywood vibe of this "Pink Palace" makes it the perfect location for either a hot Hollywood premier party or an ultra romantic wedding. 

Recently, the Wedding Yentas featured this Hollywood Glam pink, black and white wedding that I produced at the Beverly Hills Hotel.  We've moved! Please join us at: Ariel Yve Design

How to Tip Your Wedding Vendors, 2010-2011 Guide

It's no secret that weddings cost a lot (both time and money).  Though the exact reasons for high wedding costs are complex (supply and demand, rent district, payroll, insurance costs, etc.), the vendors that you've hired, and the staff that they've hired, have put tons of hours and energy into making you day as perfect as possible.  To say thank you, it is entirely appropriate to show your gratitude with a tip.  The questions that I'm going to answer today are, which wedding vendors to tip and how much to tip them (if at all).
