NYT Weddings feature Jimmy and Rebecca's Stowe Wedding!

What a great love story-- truly. If you don't know the song "Right Down the Line"... download it immediately. It's a classic. Gets me every time. As I watched them dance to it as their first song together as husband and wife, I noticed that there was not a dry eye in the joint. Including mine. Much love and happiness to you both!

Right Down The Line - Gerry Rafferty

Most Amazing Quote

Upon hearing of her behavior from the night before

The Big Day: Oxygen Bars, Champagne and views, oh my!

Seriously, what a beautiful Aspen wedding... both ceremony and reception were atop Aspen Mountain... and the weather (which can sometimes be finicky in Colorado) was perfect. The highlights of the evening? Watching Matt Lauer's brother work a crowd, helping up an elderly guest who accidentally fell on the dancefloor (and then helping her sit.... right on a deserted plate of food), huffing chocolate infused oxygen through a head device, antagonizing the key boardist for not playing Baby Got Back, and lastly, riding the gondola down with freshly cooked cheeseburgers- which I attacked like something out of Jaws. What more could a girl ask for?
Well, maybe one more bite of cake...

Tiffany Store Holiday Invite

Hoping this one makes the cut and is used for retail stores this holiday season.

Are you there God? It's me, Job.

Having read the "Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret" books (and yes, having attempted the exercises too, to no avail), I could not stop laughing at Will Arnett's ridic reading of this teenage cult classic. Too bad he skipped the "I must, I must, I must increase my bust" chapter.

Aspen Rehearsal Dinner invite

For our first night in Aspen, we had drinks and eats at the Little Nell. I decided to illustrate the venue for this piece, since the scenery is so frickin' beautiful there.

Peeps in Vermont

The happy couple; Mr. Babcock and I talking shop.

ps, That's a fascinator, not a tarantula, in my hair.

Vermont Wedding

More to come... here are a few teaser shots. Will be posting all in the upcoming days. But can we talk real quick? Who gets a double rainbow on their wedding? You just can't top that. The gauntlet for Most-Amazing-Wedding-Backdrop has been thrown.

Headed to Stowe!

Getting picked up by the lovely and talented, Katie "Cuddles" Johnson and her bf, Lee... and heading up to Vermont for a major weekend adventure. Tonight, wine on Lake Champlain at sunset. Tomorrow night, Rebecca and Jimmy's wedding-- an event that is near and dear to both Katie and me. Will post pictures of the epic night, and of all of our design details. It's going to be incredible. Above, our hand-drawn map of Stowe for Rebecca's wedding guests.

Bridal Shower Out takes

Few more pics of Jean's marathon-bridal shower-pub crawl-karaoke-awesomeness that rendered me a waste of skin the next day.

Gearing up for 2009 Holiday Card

A few quick starts for this year's corporate card

Postcards From the Hamps

A few of my favorite pics from the weekend, including an art-directed poolside shot, complete with Hamptons Magazine, Betty Draper lipstick (bonus points: it matched the lounge cushion) and a martini. And yes people, my skin is just that white. Love giving 70 SPF a run for its money.

Friday Showers

Unfortunately Friday brought less than desirable weather our way -- as in a never ending monsoon -- but we made the most of it by drinking our way through a lazy afternoon at an appropriately named pub in east hampton, Rowdy Hall. Indeed.

Buh Bye

Have been invited to spend a long weekend in the Hamps... and am leaving first thing tomorrow for what will hopefully be a sunny weekend away with great company.

Feast fit for Kings (and Curly Qs)

Am working with RB and JB on their INCREDIBLE menu for their wedding... I feel so incredibly lucky to be able to experience this palette pleaser first hand come July. It will be one for the history books. Above, a sample of the menu and recipe card-- with a diagram of the folder that will house all pieces. Also, examples of patterned escort cards that will be placed just outside the reception tent.
