Vendor Spotlight - In Style Caterers

We love working with vendors that not only provide a great service or product, but love what they do and take great pride at customer service. In Style Caterers is one of our newest favorite wedding vendors in the DC area. We were fortunate enough to have their team caterer our Open House last week and we were so impressed with everything they brought to the table (literally and figuratively). They not only served a great variety of dishes - from Tenderloin Bruschetta to Kale & Potato Cakes - but their staff was also professional, helpful, and their top priority was the guests. Check out their creations below, captured by Paired Images (all we can say is yum!):

J+A's Westin Georgetown Wedding

While we prep for this weekend's events, here's another look back at a September wedding. This one included teal, raspberry reds, and a navy blue suit! Congrats to the Outspoken Groom and his Mrs. Gorgeous images by Ken Pak Photography:

How sweet is the handholding pre-ceremony??

NYC Flower Expo 2013 - Ranunculus

Last week I was fortunate enough to get an opportunity to attend the NYC Flower Expo. Unlike the Flower Shows, this is not about floral installations. This is all about what different farms are producing and new strands that are hitting the market. I got the chance to chat with most of these suppliers as well as check out their main products and I think I might have fallen in love with a few new flowers. I snapped pictures to a) share with all of you and b) to provide my wholesalers with photographic evidence that these flowers are in fact available and I'm not making anything crazy up :)

With so many beautiful items I decided to break these posts up into four days: ranunculus today, roses tomorrow, my favorite booth (it deserves it's own post) on Thursday, and misc arrangements on Friday. Today we're checking out these gorgeous ranunculus - what's your favorite? Because I can't choose....

And oh yea - we are calling ranunculus the new IT wedding flower (you heard it first at Studio DBI!). Peonies and garden roses have spotlighted the wedding trend for quiet sometime but these little ruffly suckers are quickly becoming supreme.
