Chandelier is officially PINNING! Follow Pinterest.com/chandelierevent

We've known about Pinterest for quite some time, but only recently joined the craze--and like everyone else, we're completely addicted to pinning inspirations.  Apparently, so are many of you! If you're not familiar with this social network, this is an easy-to-use image search engine that allows you to share and pin (bookmark) inspiration--from gorgeous photos to gifts to home decor, recipes, travel destinations. 

Look for awe-inducing photo stories for color palette inspiration, DIY ideas, aspirational style, fashion for weddings and events, menus for cocktails and feasts--the list is absolutely endless. We're so excited to see what you pin, too!

Here's a sneak peak at some of the boards in our file this week.

BEACH WEDDING INSPIRATION

Let us know what you think!

Dinner Mints, Pistachio & Pink Champagne

We've just about wrapped up prep for this weekend's country-meets-city weekend wedding--and all the tiny details of planning two-weddings-in-one have come together. Friday night, our couple will share an intimate ceremony at an inn overlooking the vineyards of the North Fork of Long Island. Saturday, we'll make a mad dash back to the City that Never Sleeps for a raucous celebration! You bet, we'll be posting pictures of our ying-and-yang receptions. Think buttery yellows and sage green for the ceremony and farm-to-fork dinner reception, followed by luscious lipstick shades of red and shimmery gold and crystal for our night out on the town!


Needless to say, we're *busy* at Chandelier, rolling out Spring events and deep into our blockbuster Fall. But, as the calm sets in for the night, we can't help but indulge ourselves. Hey, what can I say--we can't get enough! It's like planning our own weddings, over and over again.


So, here is the first of our inspiration spotlights--brought to you, fresh-cut, in spring shades that invoke sweet auras of dinner mint pastels, pistachio greens, and delicate pink champagne. From a pink tulle Vera Wang wedding gown to long flowing blush chiffon bridesmaids (in a wedding styled by our friend Annie Lee and photographed by Caroline Tran) to this gorgeous bouquet featuring frayed-edge tulips! Just dreaming about the wedding we could create in these hues ....


Oh well, back to reality! Signing off for another whirlwind weekend... see you on the other side of the altar.

Your grandmother's trash could be your event's treasure!

OK, so I am mildly obsessed with what I call "Modern Vintage". Designers are turning back the clock for inspiration. LOVE these amazing plastic utensils from PlumParty.com!

In these crazy penny-pinching days, remember that old becomes new again. Get inspired by vintage fabrics and stock up on cheap vintage at yard sales where 50-cents is the standard. Comic books are perfect for a boy's birthday bash; shabby-chic table linens and mix-and-match silver are ideal for a bridal shower; and the obligatory lava lamp could be the centerpiece of your 70's fondue display.
