Our Deck

This is a part of our deck, where we have our coffee in the morning and our snacks in the afternoon. It's not finalized yet, and there are a few things that I still want to do with it, but I wanted to share with you this gorgeous Rododendron plant before it stops blooming. No complains though, we've been enjoying the glorious flowers for over two weeks now.
I also got two of these Angel Face climbing roses two weeks ago (below). When I got them they had two or three small bulbs and now they have about 10 gorgeous bulbs. They are ready to climb and we are so exited to see them go up the trellis.

On this wall I was planning to custom build a deep banquette. Deep enough so that my hubby, our small one and I can take long lazy weekend afternoon naps. Instead, we decided to splurge on this 1940's mirror and hang it above the couch to reflect the NYC view that we are so lucky to enjoy.

Regardless of the size of our spaces we all can do something beautiful with it and enjoy these very short summer days with our loved ones.

A Wedding on the beach

I designed this wedding a few months ago. It took place at Aura, a very chic upscale beachside restaurant sheltered in a thatched-roof, overlooking the Caribbean sea in Juan Dolio, about 30 minutes outside of Santo Domingo. The couple, who are also friends of mine, decided to have an intimate celebration to enjoy with their closest family and friends. The wedding with all 32 guests started with a Baptist ceremony at 6:30 P.M when the sun was setting, followed with dinner and ending with dance after midnight. The amaretto and almond filling three layer cake was covered with real sea shells and sugar corals on a rattan tray.

For the tables, we decided to keep it all in white to blend with the rest of the restaurant decor. The flower arrangements were made out of two kinds of flowers, Calla Lillies and Orienpet Lillies paired with big candle holders filled with sand, shells and candles.
