Well, you may have seen this one coming from a mile away! Our best moment of 2009 was the creation and filming of a Platinum Wedding for WeTV!

We were initially hired for Day Of Services only for Frank & Charity’s wedding, but when we called to schedule our get together for 6 weeks prior to the wedding, boy were we in for a surprise! The budget had escalated to 70 times more than the original $20,000 budget {Plug that into your calculator…yep, that’s right!} and we set off on a quick course to raise the bar in every area for this wedding! We added an entire new room that would serve as the lounge {and all of the pieces and elements to pull that together ~ provided by the fabulous crew at Studio B} , brought in an ice sculpture, embellished the linens with additional pearl, feather and crystal accents and fine tuned every single little detail down to the Swarovski crystal wrap on the handle of Charity’s bouquet! Once we found out we would be on WeTV, we also had a sudden need for more lighting and I had the need for a whole new wardrobe!

We were followed around by camera crews for several days leading up to the event while attending last minute vendor meetings, a final dress fitting and site walk-throughs. I thought I would be insanely nervous with the cameras on me ~ but we had an absolute blast working with the camera crews! No contrived scenes, no pressure to create drama. Platinum Weddings is truly a class act and made every effort to showcase us all at our best. Filming the show is something that I will never forget and I cannot wait to see our episode air this spring! {Of course we’ll be blasting the air date all over the place, so keep any eye out}.

I have to give the biggest shout out to Mimi & Co, who not only provided the couture linens, swanky Manhattan chaircovers and so much more, but who also referred me these clients! You girls ROCK! You are amazing to work with, your products and your service are head and shoulders above the rest and I adore you both, Gaby and Mimi!

This brings our Top 9 of ’09 Series to a close. 2009 was a great year, filled with so much fun, style and beauty. We can only hope that our Top 10 of ’10 can compare to, or exceed, the Simply Chic and Fabulously Unique events showcased here! Cheers to a successful 2010 everyone!
