I am so excited to be a part of all the holiday bliss that is starting to erupt here at The English Manor! I particularly love this time of year because as busy as our lives are, we can take a moment and give thanks for everything we are grateful for – especially our family and friends! I hope everyone had a very Happy Thanksgiving and you are enjoying the last days of November!
Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Tim Bruey! We hope your having a wonderful time in Mexico!

It’s all in the details – Part II
DETAILS, DETAILS, DETAILS! If you haven’t noticed, I’m a fan of small elements that really make a wedding shine. We have a saying here at The English Manor to “keep it simple”. All you need is one detail that leaves your guests amazed!
This past weekend, we had 3 wonderful weddings. Friday started the weekend off with Heather and Anthony’s reception. During cocktail hour, Heather surprised Anthony with a Frank Sinatra singer. This was just absolutely adorable and what a great surprise!
On Saturday, Sandy and Bill celebrated their wedding and I loved how they incorporated their love of skiing into their day! Here’s a picture of their cake … I just adored how their wedding cake showcased their interest and love of the outdoors!
On Sunday, Loretta and Tomás were married in Brooklyn and then came to The English Manor for an amazing celebration! In the words of Deb (their maitre’d), “what a spectacular day they had after all the days of rain!” They even had so much fun they extended the reception an extra half hour!
Congrats to all our brides and grooms!

It’s all in the details – Part I
These past few weeks I have seen some little details that provided the right amount of flair to some very chic weddings! With so many incredible moments caught in photos it was hard for me to choose just one, so here are a few snippets and photographs that reflect the character of each day as well as the couples’ personalities!
On Friday, Oct. 30th 2009, Laura and Brian upgraded their cocktail hour with a fresh raw seafood bar. With shrimp cocktail, Jonah crab claws, and clams and oysters their guests did not leave hungry! This was a truly delicious element that made Laura and Brian’s wedding distinctive.

On Saturday, October 31st I was passing by the bridal suite when I noticed a pop of color … I looked down and noticed the bridesmaids had the most adorable shoes - I fell in love! Then while Elizabeth (the bride) and her bridal party were taking pictures outside, Nancy came running into the office and told me that if I loved the bridesmaid’s shoes, I would LOVE Elizabeth’s shoes. While all the bridesmaids were wearing heels, Elizabeth had on blue converse sneakers! I loved her touch of “something blue”! Here’s a picture of their super cute apparel …
That Sunday, Jennifer and Chris had the most charming favors. While all the favors our couples pick are unique and fabulous, I loved Jennifer and Chris’ because they were perfect for the month of November! They gave each of their guests a leaf cookie cutter that stated they were “cut out for each other” – this was an ideal gift for the autumn weather!
This past Saturday, November 7, 2009 had two gorgeous weddings. In the afternoon, I was amazed by Shelly and Chris’ favors! They had a unique booklet that opens up and tells a few facts about themselves and inside was a shot glass and mini liqiour shot! I just have to say as a guest I would love this favor! Later on, for Connie and Francis’ evening wedding I was just amazed by their cake … you could probably say I fell in love it was so beautiful. Here are a few pictures from each of the weddings to see all their one of a kind details…

A look back at Adam and Sidra’s September wedding…
Here are a few pictures from Adam & Sidra’s wedding on September 12, 2009.
I especially loved when Adam surprised Sidra during cocktail hour by serenading her on his guitar. When I become engaged I sure hope my fiancé can sing! (If not he’s taking voice lessons … from Adam.)
The second picture is of their gorgeous centerpieces … they really made the ballroom pop with color! I think they added just the right touch of personality and elegance.
Last and probably my favorite picture is a picture of the best man toast. Adam’s best man was his son – he gave the most awesome toast!
