We are so excited because we were just invited to be a part of Gilded Boston‘s bridal show- the Gilded Bride- at the Algonquin Club in the Back Bay in Boston. This event was designed specifically with the stylish bride-to-be in mind and will be a happy alternative to larger bridal expos. We will be photographing the event as well as sharing our work. It is this Sunday, April 26 from Noon to 5 pm. You receive a $5 discount when you pre-register online. We hope to see you there!

Abby gave me a tour of the event spaces. And they are stunning. Each one has warmth and charm and character galore.

This photo shows off the lobby- can you imagine your guests arriving and walking through here? I love the chandeliers. There is definitely a crystal lighting motif that runs through all of the hotel.

Even the hallways inspire thoughts of old world European elegance. Check out these beautiful murals.

If you are having a grand affair, the piece d’resistance is the Plaza Ballroom and Imperial Ballroom suite. Your guests could arrive through the main entranceway, shown above or through a private stairwell. They would walk into the Plaza Ballroom, where cocktails are served. And be treated to large beautiful windows, draped in red velvet.

Wall sconces, gold leaf moldings and bas relief sculptures accent the walls and ceiling.

Another elegant chandelier. I adore the decoration wear the fixure meets the ceiling.

Then, when it is time for dinner to be served, the walls open up between the two rooms to give your guests their first glimpse of the Imperial Ballroom.

The Imperial Ballroom has the complete "Wow" factor. This two story high grand ballroom offers room for very large weddings- with seating available in the center area as well as on the balconies. You also could set up a lounge area in the balconies. The stage would be perfect for your band, and perhaps even your first dance.

I am so glad I was able to experience the Park Plaza for myself. It really is amazing. Thanks so much, Abby!

When the brides and grooms-to-be arrived with their families, they were shown to their table, where their personalized tasting menu awaited them.

Each table was decorated with a different theme and all of them were gorgeous.

Love the beach theme with shells and candles for this centerpiece.

I am such a fan of bright colors and especially love tropical flowers. Check out these orchids!

And something a bit more classical, various arrangements including calla lilies, roses, and candles, all in white.

She had her wonderful candy bar all set up, again all whites, a tribute to the winter season.

And the food and service, as always, were amazing. I love the pizzas and the mini-burgers.

Throughout the event, the wedding couples were serenaded with music by either the fabulous string quartet or the rocking band. They toured the grounds and had the opportunity to meet all of their wedding vendors. They could choose to talk with the florist, the fabulous cake designer, the ladies who created custom invitations, a videographer, a jeweler, an officiant, a tux shop, the folks from KISS Spa who will take care of hair and make-up and offer massages, and of course, wedding photographers.

An all around great day!

We are incredibly excited to announce our new project, The EAD Library. After months of development and research, we are launching a new resource for brides tomorrow, Tuesday July 22nd. The Library is filled with hundreds of useful links, from photographers to shops to stationers. Our goal is a simple, comprehensive list of vendors. The Library will help every bride, no matter her location, find the vendors and inspiration she needs for a beautiful event.

EAD recently shared William and Laura’s wedding, which we photographed this May. We are really honored to be a part of all they do.
