Style Watch: The Chelsea Wedding

August 19, 2010

A new (or return to a classic) look in weddings

Regardless of your political persuasion, there is something to admire in the style of Chelsea Clinton's recent wedding to Marc Mezvinsky. Chelsea's wedding was described in the New York Times Sunday Style section as "elegant, family oriented and understated" by Nicky Reinhard, owner of David/Reinhard Events in New York. Not that the over the top, "branded" wedding is about to go away. However, as a contrast to that current trend,Marcy Blum, owner of a wedding planning company in New York, called the ceremony "pristine, minimalist and unembellished." The goal of the understated approach is to ultimately draw the attention to the bride and groom, and not to extravagant surroundings.

The article further emphasized, that despite the understated style of the event, there was still incredible beauty, lavish attention to detail, and yes, a budget to support that.Simple accents were featured, a wedding canopy made of branches, leaves and flowers, the silver beads on the gluten-free cakes were similar to the ones on Chelsea's Vera Wang wedding gown and the bride walked down a simple, unadorned white aisle. In the reception tent, there were too many flowers to count - from white lilies arching across the room to over 100 purple-pink roses and hydrangeas displayed on each table. A final notable gesture were the gift baskets given to the guests. They were filled with goodies from the nearby area, such as Saturn peaches, chocolate cookies, a tote bag from their Farmer's market and a bottle of wine from a local vineyard.

At Silver Papery, we work with clients to achieve some of these effects through the careful choice and design of invitations, programs, and reception accessories. Call us or stop by for more information. 512-443-1188.

Graduation Etiquette Tip

May 06, 2010

Receiving Gifts at Graduation

This is definitely an occasion for the hand-written thank you note. These days, grads are increasingly taking an interest in choosing their own stationery and like to express their personality when doing so. Either through creative use of color, font or paper, all thank you notes need not look alike. Go to www.silverpapery.com/stationery/note-cards to view some possibilities.

What to say? Lizzie Post, great-great-grand-daughter of Emily Post, says that though short and sweet is fine, the trick is to say something meaningful. These tips from Post were included in a recent article in the Austin American Statesman:

1. Thank the giver for the gift and their time if they attended your event.

2. If the gift was cash, mention what you may use it for.

3. If applicable, mention what the giver has meant to you during your life.

4. Finish with the wish that you will see them again soon.

Her parting advice is to write the letter sooner rather than later - even if you opened the gift in front of the giver.
