Posted in floral & decor, lyndsey by lyndsey
Here are some of our favorite bouquets from past clients. All of these are of varying aesthetic, and unique to each wedding. Regardless of personal preference, it is key that the bouquet remains distinctive. We advise our clients to allow their floral designers to be creative when designing the bouquets, although you may love a specific color or flower, you want to carry an arrangement that showcases your style in a distinctive way.

LHE Real Weddings in the Hamptons
Posted in lyndsey, new york, photography by lyndsey
This wedding took place at a private residence in Watermill, NY. The bride wanted to incorporate a color scheme of teal and pink, for her late-summer wedding. In addition, she wanted detailed elements of shells and starfish to create a beach theme. The ceremony took place on the property overlooking the bay. The guests then moved to the pool area for a Tuscan themed cocktail hour, as the couple was engaged in Italy. The tented reception had a U2 cover band and exceptional decor by Artfool. This wedding is featured in the current issue of The Knot NYC Metro. Head over to LHEverything if you would like to see some more photos by the fantastic Maggie Heinzel-Neel.

LHE Real Wedding in NYC
Posted in lyndsey, new york, photography by lyndsey
This wedding took place at the Central Park Observatory Gardens, followed by a reception at the Rainbow Room. Carrie from LHE was the planner on this event. With these photos, we really wanted to highlight the beauty of New York City. It is common for our clients to take photos at their favorite places throughout the City. It just so happens that these clients chose to take photos right near our offices in TriBeCa. We rented a double decker tour bus to take them and their guests around the city. The photos are from the talented Brian Dorsey. We have more photos from this event at our blog, LHEverything.com.

Cakes and Desserts
Posted in cakes & catering, lyndsey by lyndsey
Cakes and desserts are a major focus for the event. The cake can add to the aesthetic, and create an additional design element. The wedding cake does not need to be elaborate or complicated. Over the past few years, we have been recommending dessert tables, scattered with old-fashioned cakes, pies, and treats. Also, recently for summer weddings, we have been recommending gelato and Italian ice carts. This past weekend, our clients had an ice cream cake in addition to the dessert bar. They topped the cake with “bride & groom” rubber ducks. We also like the idea of the self-serve dessert bar, as it creates another opportunity to guests to interact at your wedding. Here are some photos of our favorite displays.
In this image we have an assortment of desserts and a display of different types of mousse. The desserts came from Vanilla Bakeshop in Santa Monica. The owner, Amy, was recently on Martha Stewart.

Place Settings and Tabletops
Posted in ceremony & reception, floral & decor, lyndsey by lyndsey
The tabletop is likely to be one of the most distinctive and memorable elements of your entire event. We have selected tabletops with varying aesthetics to provide you with some inspiration.
Manhattan Black-Tie - Here is an event with Artfool. The tabletops were highly dramatic and perfectly complimented the formality of this event. Caviar and iceblocks filled with vodka were also placed on each table as a compliment to the floral arrangements. The rich lighting and colors reflected season with the black & white theme. To add color, the bridal party carried deep red and purple tones.
