Welcome 2013

New Year's Eve is finally here, in a year that has flown by more than any other I've experienced. Mr. V and I spending the evening with a few fabulous friends, sipping champagne and then heading out for dinner and drinks on the town. 

What a year it's been, and I can't wait for the upcoming one as well! Our wedding is only three and a half months away now, and we've been planning a lot over the past few weeks. Tonight will be a great celebration of an awesome few months and many more ahead of us. Happy New Year's!

Wedding Fireworks

I can't resist sharing this spectacular image of the bride and groom's sparkler farewell from the beautiful wedding we went to last weekend, taken by my friend Chrissy.

A pitch-perfect photo of a very lovely night. Congratulations again to Lauren & Bennett!

Cheerful Celebrations

Last night, Mr. V and I went to the wedding of our friends at The Green Building in Brooklyn. We had so much fun catching up with friends and enjoying their sweet vows (it was a tearjerker), delicious food, and the endlessly entertaining photo booth. The room and decor were gorgeous...Strings of lit orbs cascading over the window to create the altar, hanging brass chandeliers, exposed brick, and mason jars filled with tealights.

There were so many personal touches - the bride and groom grew up together in Minnesota, so her family brought pretty birch logs from their home state to line the aisle, and his mother sewed plaid fabric into napkins for each place setting. They thought of every little detail for their big night, and it was lovely. For their send off, we lit sparklers and cheered as the happy couple left the party - such a nice end to the evening!

Journey to India

As promised, here are a few lovely highlights from our fantastic trip to Delhi and Udaipur for our friends' wedding last week...

It was a stunningly beautiful week in honor of two wonderful people, and I'm so glad I got to be there and experience it with Mr. V and our friends. Total bliss!
