All We Need is LOVE
In honor of the month of February being synonymous with LOVE, I wanted to share some thoughts about Love.
What does the word Love mean to you? Being in a "love" business, I find it very interesting to see the dynamics in which love is portrayed. Between a husband and wife, a mother and daughter, father and bride, between siblings and between friends. The Love of a job or a pet or something you are truly passionate about. There are so many levels of what the word Love can mean.
A favorite quote about the meaning of love:
Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy.
Love is never boastful, nor conceited, nor rude;
It is not self-seeking, nor easily angered.
It keeps no record of wrongdoing.
It does not delight in evil,
But rejoices in the truth.
It always protects, trusts, hopes, and preserves.
There is nothing love cannot face;
There is no limit to its faith, hope, and endurance.
In a word, there are three things that last forever:
Faith, hope, and love;
But the greatest of them all is love.
-- 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

And Love songs....wow there are too many to list. But if you have a favorite, let us know!
Enjoy this month of LOVE as it approaches and I hope you can find love in the things you do each day!

Posh Party Gal Tells All
Our first Posh Party Gal Tells All post is going to be about attire. That seems to be a common topic that I get asked about the most. Recently, 2 Posh Party Gal readers asked the same question....
Q: I have a party to go to that calls for "black-tie" - is it okay to wear a cocktail length dress?
A: YES! In today's day is certainly apropos to wear a cocktail length dress to a black-tie affair. The trick is to accessorize fancy. Make sure your jewelry, hand bag and shoes are as dressy as you would wear with a full length gown. Take a look at the red-carpet - you always see stars dressed on gowns of all lengths.
Here are a few of my favorite cocktail-length looks that can be worn to a black-tie event:

Our Grand Finale
Here at Posh Parties we plan some very interesting events. We plan weddings that are lavish, sophisticated, traditional and fresh. We have amazing clients and we love every one of them. The best part about our job is meeting so many people and adapting to each clients personalities - its a fun job and we always have something exciting going on!
Three months a ago, I got a call to interview to be the wedding planner for actress JoAnna Garcia and Yankee baseball player Nick Swisher. As a die-hard Yankees fan, I was jumping for joy inside. I went to the meeting and we hit it off! Of course we have planned weddings and events before for professional athletes, local celebrities and socialites, but this one was different. It's not often that a Hollywood couple gets married in Palm Beach....and I was the lucky one to have this amazing experience.
Funny enough, planning their wedding was just like planning everyone elses. We triple checked the guests list, chose amazing invitations, selected music for the evening, and added personalized touches. We dotted all of our i's and crossed all of our t's - multiple times.
We had our all-star team lined up - photographer Anthony Vazquez, cinematographer Francesco Spezia, music by Alan James of the Powerhouse Group, decor by Kim Votaw of the Breakers Design Studio and catering manager Kym Bichon of the Breakers.
The wedding week arrived and we delivered 200 gift bags to the hotel. Thursday evening kicked-off the festivities with a Welcome Party. Friday was the bridesmaid lunch and the rehearsal dinner under the stars. Saturday was wedding day - the ceremony could not have been more beautiful and the reception was spectacular. Guests were dancing the night away, having a blast. Sunday, the weekend ended with a delicious brunch over looking the ocean. The weekend could not have been more perfect - perfect weather and one flawless event after another for this perfect couple!
The bride looked amazing and you can see her wedding weekend wardrobe that was featured on instyle.com:

We couldn't have asked for a better event to end our year. We are thankful for our success in 2010 and looking forward to an even bigger and better 2011!
Happy Holidays!!
