According to The Knot one of the new trends for 2010 will be themed engagement photos.

“Just like your dress and reception decor, your engagement photo shoot should be completely “you.” Follow that line of thinking and you’ll understand why couples are coming up with the most creative themed engagement photo shoots, from Mad Men and Breakfast at Tiffany’s to more obscure 1950s backyard barbecue shoots. Not into the theme idea? Tone it down with a couple props, like colorful balloons, umbrellas, or a tandem bicycle.” Have fun with this idea!! www.theknot.com

How fun to use nature in a creative way.  This would be perfect for a mountain/ ski lodge wedding. Let’s head to the snow!!!

If you are having a winter wedding how cute for guests to take these favors home. This would be a great way to capitalize on a winter theme and give them a delicious treat.  Visualize how these could add decorative touch to your  tables by placing them on each guest’s napkin.

I found these delicious cookies on Martha Stewart Weddings

How fun to have a Christmas/winter wedding!

Red shoes, crushed peppermint candies, marshmallows, vibrant red roses and splashes of red everywhere. Innovation and out of the box thinking  can bring fun to a Christmas wedding. This style board captures the magic and love of the Christmas season.

Love this style board from Style Me Pretty ,

It is absolutely magical. I thoroughly enjoyed  viewing all the window displays, especially at Lord and Taylor’s, Bloomingdales, and Saks. The interior of Bergdorf Goodman was a breathtaking winter wonderland.
I had made an appointment at  Bergdorf’s Bridal Salon.  The designer gowns were exquisite and shown in an intimate setting. I also had fun checking out several hotel venues for weddings.
One of my most cherished moments  was a meeting I had with Cathie Black, President of Hearst Corporation and author of  Basic Black. This is an excellent book for any young woman in the business world. Cathie and my mom  were close friends growing up together in Chicago. She was excited that I had launched my own company and offered sound business advice. Cathie was the person who encouraged Oprah to start a magazine and Cathie worked with her to make it happen,
I had wanted to be there for the Rockefeller Center Tree Lighting ceremony which was amazing.  Above is a picture  of the tree at Rockefeller Center for all of you to see. The Radio City Christmas Spectacular featuring the Rockettes is a must see. I also enjoyed the Broadway musical, “Billy Elliot. ” Of course, I managed some time for  shopping!

Later I will share with you my exciting visit to Kleinfelds.
