Last month, Thea and I had our first Entwined event of 2013! It’s almost been a year since we started these events, but we’re still so amazed every time with all the wonderful people who come out. This last event was no exception, and being at The Ides bar at Wythe Hotel definitely did not hurt. A very special thank you to Marisa Pellicci and Max Gustashaw from the Wythe team – working with you guys couldn’t be easier or more fun!

If you haven’t been to Wythe Hotel yet, get on over there. The views are incredible, the rooms are so unique and beautifully designed, and the food – oh the food! – stuff your face at Reynards; you won’t be sorry! Entwined was lucky enough to get a close look at all the hotel has to offer on this private tour of the spaces. All the photography below was shot by wedding photographer Amber Gress – thank you so much for lending us your talents!

The gorgeous Wythe Hotel building was formerly a barrel making factory. I love when these old buildings are preserved, restored, and given new life.

The balcony at The Ides bar gets quite packed during the warm weather months. A perfect spot for watching the sun set!

The Main Event Hall and Outdoor Garden are both available for weddings, parties, and events. I can’t get over the beautiful flooring in the garden and the twinkling lights!

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of putting together a very special shoot with some very talented wedding friends. It’s our take on the style behind Oz, the Great and Powerful, a new movie starring James Franco, Michelle Williams, Rachel Weisz, and Mila Kunis! We took the lush color palette and beautiful costuming of the movie and dreamt up the perfect wedding to match. I couldn’t be more ecstatic with the results, and I’m so happy that it’s featured today on Green Wedding Shoes. Also check back here for upcoming behind-the-scenes posts that will include many more looks!

For now, I leave you with a little magic…

What better way to celebrate love than a wedding? Good Morning America agrees, and for Valentine’s Day they threw a surprise flash wedding for a very special couple! They pulled together the impromptu wedding with the help of industry experts like Kleinfeld’s, and Buddy Valastro of Carlo’s Bakery and Cake Boss fame. When GMA contacted us to print an invitation to surprise Melissa, we were over the moon and so thrilled to be part of the surprise. The flash wedding aired live on ABC – they announced the wedding to the stunned bride using our Dashing Hearts invitation! We designed it using Melissa’s favorite colors and chose this design because she loves hearts!

Here’s a shot of the bride reading the invitation with the groom!

Last week, Thea and I held our Holiday Entwined Event–we were so excited to see all our wedding friends again. I have to say that the mood was quite festive and we had such a great time catching up with everyone! I want to share some snaps of the night, which Tim Gibson did a great job of documenting–thanks Tim!

Of course, a special shout-out to Thea (looking amazing in her vintage classic-red holiday outfit), my co-host and fellow conspirator on all things wedding! Love you!

So, living in New York City, we feel it’s our duty to take advantage of all the amazing bars and lounges at our disposal. We love finding different venues where we can host Entwined. This time, Thea arranged for the party to be at Middle Branch, which was SUCH a great venue. Their lower room was intimate, inviting, and just the perfect space for us to all catch up and share a cocktail. Totally loved the speakeasy vibe and the staff was awesome! They even arranged a special holiday cocktail for us…

… which was absolutely delicious and the perfect opportunity to design a fun drink sign!

Here’s Lindsey from Revel Blog (love what they’re doing for brides, check them out!) as she catches up with super-talented wedding designer Michelle Edgemont and the wonderful photographer behind Moss + Isaac, Leigh Anna Moss!

With new friend Roxy of Society Social, an AMAZINGLY chic furniture design company, with beautiful event planner Tamra of Ever Swoon, who totally brought the sparkle with her amazing ensemble! I’m sparkling too, as you can see…

What a night! Here’s to an amazing 2012–loved working side-by-side with you all to make wedding dreams come true! Let’s go tackled 2013!

I probably missed a few of you (sorry!) but thanks so much for coming:
