Today, I stumbled upon this photo of my mother on her wedding day, with my grandmother helping her get ready. It brought back memories of a time when they were both here, and it's bittersweet to look at this picture now that they are both gone. Losing my mom during the pandemic was especially hard, and Mother’s Day reminds me of how important it is to cherish the journey.

As a wedding planner, I am often lucky enough to witness mothers and daughters sharing meaningful moments, and it’s such a privilege to share that joy. But as much as I love my job, being a mom is the best job in the world. My mom was the wind beneath my wings, and I strive to be the same for Molly, whom I refer to as my little bird.

So here's to all the moms out there, past and present. May we always remember the love and support they gave us, and cherish the moments, big and small, that we have together.

We planned Wendy & Steve's wedding in only 3 months! We loved their ceremony at the iconic Palace Hotel, the rolling clouds projected on the dome of NYPL's Astor Hall, and of course, the cool nods to the couple’s love of literature, like the vintage es**rt card bookplates, table numbers made from books and classic quotes on menus covers.

Read my blog post "For the love of books (and food)" at the link in bio for more cool details.

From the tree of life to the tree of knowledge, trees are celebrated across nearly every religion. But have you ever heard of Tu B’Shevat? A centuries-old tradition of planting a tree on this Jewish Holiday dates back to ancient times, when families would plant a cedar tree as part of the birth celebration for daughters and a cypress tree for sons. The branches of these trees were later harvested and used to create a chuppah – the canopy that serves as a symbol of marriage and new beginnings.

Planting trees is one small way that we can make an impact on our environment and give a gift to future generations. There’s always a reason to celebrate, and planting a tree is a meaningful way to mark the occasion. Please consider planting a tree this and every year. Trees are the answer.

This photo, taken nearly 20 years ago at my wedding to my very own Brit Arborist, under our simple tree chuppah.

Although I wasn't born in the year of the rabbit (I'm a goat!),
the White Rabbit has been my spirit animal since I was a child. In fact, my first pets were rabbits, and in the not too distant past, we (nearly) accidentally populated the entire South Shore of Long Island with white rabbits. But that’s a story for another time. To mark the Chinese New Year, please enjoy a few photos from one of my favorite artists, who perfectly captures their quirky personalities in his childlike bunny portraiture.

DID YOU KNOW, ACCORDING TO CHINESE CULTURE:
- A marriage started in 2023 will be based on fidelity and mutual admiration.
- The sign of Rabbit is a symbol of longevity, peace, and prosperity.
- 2023 is predicted to be a year of hope.
- The Rabbit is known to be the luckiest of all the animals in the zodiac.

Happy Chinese New Year for those who celebrate! I am definitely having soup dumplings tonight!

I’m always awestruck by the fact that Martin Luther King Jr.'s quotes still ring true. That’s partly because equal rights is still an issue, but also because his quotes are reflections about human nature and finding the best in ourselves. Today we honor his legacy and his tireless fight for equality by supporting In Our Own Voice]

In Our Own Voice National Black Women's Reproductive Justice Agenda is a black founded organization designed to amplify and lift up the voices of black women at the national and regional levels in their ongoing fight to secure reproductive justice for black women and girls. I invite you to learn more about their efforts by visiting In Our Own Voice]

“Never, never be afraid to do what’s right, especially if the well-being of a person or animal is at stake. Society’s punishments are small compared to the wounds we inflict on our soul when we look the other way.”

In the wedding industry, Dame Vivienne Westwood is best known for designing Carrie Bradshaw’s iconic S*x and the City wedding gown. To the fashion world, she is the legend who revolutionized clothing by bringing modern punk and new wave mainstream, reinventing fashion as a symbol of rebellion.

“Vivienne .. used clothes to shock, irritate and provoke a reaction but also to inspire change. Mohair jumpers, knitted on big needles, so loosely that you can see all the way through them, T-shirts slashed and written on by hand, seams and labels on the outside, showing the construction of the piece; these attitudes are reflected in the music we make. It's OK to not be perfect, to show the workings of your life and your mind in your songs and your clothes."
-Viv Albertine
