Tuesday Tasting

...

•A light sparkling wine with an elegant, feminine flair.

•Each bottle is gift-wrapped in pink cellophane styled after a peony.

When his daughter was a little girl, Francis Coppola made her a promise that he would someday make a sparkling wine and name it after her. Today, this Blanc de Blancs is one of the most popular offerings, a favorite for parties and weddings.

Fruity and refreshing, Sofia Blanc de Blancs is a rare blend of Pinot Blanc, Muscat, and Riesling. Mellow flavors of apples and pears are topped by a hint of citrus and honeysuckle. Elegant in character, this wine is lightly textured and vibrant through the finish.

Goes well with...

Newport Wedding

We were absolutly thrilled to lock our eyes once again on Kara & Ashish's amazing love story fetaured in the recent pages of Newport Wedding Mag. Check out the lovely details below; we hope you enjoy, xo!

...

Dr. Kara Nugent and Dr. Ashish Shah are at home amidst the hustle and bustle of New York City, where they first locked eyes during residency training and where they currently reside. Ashish popped the question in their tiny apartment in the Big Apple, but Kara’s affinity for her home state led the couple to begin their lives together in scenic Newport.

The bride’s parents, Stephen and Mary Nugent, still live in Barrington and were among 190 guests who shared in the celebration, which included a Catholic ceremony at Our Lady of Mercy Chapel at Salve Regina University followed by a traditional Indian ceremony under an elaborate gold mandap with a rich red backdrop at OceanCliff. “It’s a beautiful location, and was a warm and cozy environment for our December wedding,” Kara shares. The couple exchanged wedding garlands, and elephants were featured on programs and in brilliant statues adorning either side of the red aisle as a symbol of good luck, prosperity and longevity.

The reception color palette was as warm as the venue, blending creams and lattes to complement the bride’s stunning vintage embroidered silk gown from León, Spain. Bridesmaids wore fawn J. Crew dresses of silk taffeta and carried elegant bouquets of cream and blush roses. From the couple’s first dance to Norah Jones’ serene “Come Away With Me,” to the exquisite three-tier almond cake with chocolate ganache layers and rich buttercream frosting, romance was in the air from start to finish.

The happy couple returned to their home in the Empire State after a honeymoon in Bahia, Brazil.

...

The amazing collaboration: Event Design & Planning: Details with Love, Invitations: Papers, Hair & Make-up: Jennie Kay Beauty Parlor, Flowers: Toni Chandler, Caterer: OceanCliff, Cake: Confectionary Designs,
Reception Entertainment: Flipside, Photographer: Adeline & Grace, Videographer: Artistic Wedding Video Group, Accommodations: OceanCliff

...

Thank you to Newport Wedding Magazine for all the love, xo!

Seasonal Color Inspiration

One of my favorite things about growing up in New England is the change in season, with the leaves just beginning to show hints of red, orange, yellow, yellow-green, and even purple peeking through we're inspired by Autumn.

Color affects the atmosphere of a room, the impressions we make when we meet someone for the first time, and the mood of a moment. In the context of a wedding, your choice of color can be especially important: All the lovely details of the wedding; the ink, ribbons, flowers, linen, shoes, dresses, neckties... can all work beautifully together to leave a lasting impression of the occasion.

For instance: Spring and summer are the perfect time for pastels, and summer is ideal for vivid colors as well. Autumn allows you to combine collections of brown, while rich jewel tones work well for holiday and winter weddings. Softly iridescent colors are best for daytime ceremonies and receptions; metallic neutrals, like bronze, gold, and platinum, are stunning at night.

After fashion week in New York, Pantone always puts together color reports for both Spring and Autumn. And although these aren't meant to be wedding specific per se, it's fun to see what is considered the ''it'' colors for the season...especially since what becomes an ''it'' color for fashion, tends to have a way of inspiring wedding color choices as well.
