One of the greatest joys of my business
is designing events
for really special people
in really special venues.
From paper
to floral
and everything in between…
there is nothing quite like
seeing an event come together
from beginning to end.
I had the pleasure
of
designing such an event
at
“The Loft at Jack’s Barn”
Oxford, NJ
on September 1st
for a very special person.
Many thanks to
David Beverly
who
captured this beautiful event
with his amazing photography.
(thank you, cellist, Matthew Kolodzieski)
…and
a very special thank you
to
Frungillo Caterers
who managed to make
this memorable event
even more
SPECTACULAR
with their
exquisite menu
and fabulous service.
It was a wonderful night.
Perfect, actually.
Happy Birthday,
to one of my favorite people
in the whole, wide world.

LISA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I JUST SAW MY EMAIL….I will go there….but I just finished my post and saw that you came…oh, how I miss you so! It sure is great to see you there. It took me a while to do my post in between laundry and other things, but THANK YOU as always for coming to visit with me.
YOUR EVENT….how I wish I could be there for every single one that you design. And this cellist…is he the young man that you will be honoring? How I wish I could have come up with a nice idea for you.
THE FIREWORKS! YOUR CALLIGRAPHY, it is all over-the-top PERFECT and I cannot see it happening any other way but this way, in a sparkling fashion. The antiques, the food….but I know that to actually be there would be the topping on the cake.
HUGS HUGS to you and I will be back shortly via email; I have to run to get the LAUNDRY and MAKE DINNER!

I’d love to see this gorgeous place in person. I can only imagine what an Autumn wedding would look like here!!! So gorgeous! Lori
I just wanted to come by again to see this lovely display chez toi. That photo with the fence near the barn….Oh how I long to see this place, and YOU!!! Anita
WOW!!!! Stunning venue! I love everything about it–can’t wait to see it in person! Thanks for the tour!
Hugs, Diane
My jaw is still on the floor. Need I say more??
Oh Lisa, this is just over the top gorgeous! Your attention to detail is amazing. I wish I could see the barn. I love the jars on the fence post.
Last week I helped with the flowers for an outdoor country wedding. They are nothing like yours but had fun doing it. I wasn’t able to get the wonderful photos that you did but it was a beautiful wedding. I’m hoping to do a post on it Thursday for a meme called Rural Thursday.
Thank you so much for you comment on my blog and for the email. I am seeing a pulmonary doctor this afternoon. I’ll keep you posted.
xoxo Barb
Lisa, Lisa, Lisa!!!!!
My Mom shared these gorgeous pictures of Chris’ 50th birthday event with me. Everything you put your personal touch on is just FABULOUS! The calligraphy, the decorations, the floral, the tags, OH MY!!!!!
So so beautiful and breath taking!
Thanks for being you and making Chris’ birthday extra special…..I’m all teary eyed!

Me too!! I have notebooks and journals of quotes….I think it is very wise to be open to the wisdom of others, yes?

Yes, Lisa, we are finally into Fall here…the leaves are not quite colorful, but we are so ready for the cooler weather, especially after the uber-hot recent months.
Enjoy your weekend
xoxo
