My Wedding - Cocktail Hour Take 2

One of the things that makes Tibeca Rooftop such a great venue is that you don't have to bring in everything.  All the furniture both inside and out is already there and available for use!

Check out the sunset!

We had candles in cylinders throughout the venue and tied them to the wedding them by tying matching ribbon around the cylinders and hanging crystal prisms from them.

I printed out specialty bar menus then découpaged  the patterned paper on the frames. 

 I also created custom cocktail napkins with our monogram.

The venue provided an ice sculpture as part of my package.

Everyone's favorite was the raw bar!

The city really played a part in making our wedding special.

Not to mention check out my handsome groom!

My Wedding - Cocktail Hour

I couldn't ask for a more wedding beautiful day and location.  Here are a few of  the amazing photos from my cocktail hour at Tribeca Rooftop in downtown New York City.  The beautiful photos were taken by Renee Merlino from Photography By Renee. Will post some more of the wedding detail photos tomorrow.

The beautiful view from the Tribeca Rooftop 

What a sunset!

I purchased the trays from CB2, the patterns for the trays was printed Dusty at Publicide and the fabric on the pillows is Rubie Green 's East Village fabric that I purchased and my mother sewed on a pillow form.

Allie's Bridal Shower Circa 2003 - Take 1

I wanted to share with you some pictures of the first ever bridal shower that my family threw together!  It was for my sister Allison and the wedding biz was just starting to pick up steam! Here are a few pictures taken pre home renovation and pre-digital camera (think I took better pictures before I went digital)!  Will share more tomorrow!

My Moroccan Bridal Shower - The Drinks

It's Friday so I thought that I'd share some pictures of the awesome drinks-n- things from my bridal shower!

Katie's Bridal Shower - Part Three

In no way can take credit for the food, when my family produces events I'm always decor and creative collateral. My mother, sister, aunt and cousins made the food for Katie's bridal shower it was truly fantastic - below are some pictures.

Chicken Skewers

Drink Area was set-up with different kinds of teas!

Luau Salad

Molten Chocolate Brownies

Dessert Bar

Hibiscus Decorations on Cupcakes

Coconut Cheesecake Bars

My mother made chocolate monkeys that hung from her fruit sculpture!

Katie's Bridal Shower - Part One

I can't take all the credit for the events. There is always a house full of Dunn and Caramico girls, co-workers and friends who help pull it all together but the real story is that every event starts and ends with my Mother she's the amazing force behind it all!  In 2007, my sister Katie married her high school sweetheart and before she walked down the aisle and honeymooned in Maui we threw her a Luau Bridal Shower - here are some pictures!  I'll share some more tomorrow!

My mother actually put down sand!
