New York City - Wedding Destination Trend and Wedding Planning with Tessler Events!

As you may recall a few months ago I posted the Central Park Destination Wedding Feature and Look"Blog". Since then I have come across more and more NYC wedding trends, services, and ideas that prove why "The Big Apple" is a popular engagement and wedding destination.

With the hustle and bustle of such a large wedding industry I can imagine it could easily become a nightmare trying to navigate through all the services, locations, vendors, and shops to plan the perfect wedding... not to mention trying to find the best deals amidst all the options to choose from.

For those of us living in small rural towns this may not be so much of the problem; our problem would be more so not having enough options or selection. However, for those in the center of it all you may find that bringing on someone who knows the business and has just the right connections may be an asset to making your wedding day perfect.

Tessler Events is a NYC based wedding planning service that creates award winning weddings and corporate events. Planning the perfect event is a labor of love; it takes passionate people to create memorable parties and weddings and Tessler Events becomes a part of that process to create one of the most memorable days of your life! No matter how big or small your wedding can be fabulous and perfectly "You" :)

Tessler Events will help you plan everything from the location, details, to the party... all based on what you want your wedding experience to be!

The Location

The Details

The Party!

If you would like to get in touch with Tessler Events about your wedding planning you can contact them HERE :) With over 20 years in the business Tessler Events is not new to the media scene, you know they are good when they appear in magazines like The Knot, Next, and Cosmo... check out their articles, features, and videos. If I had endless amounts of money I would have a wedding every year... to my husband of course... and one year I would plan a fabulous New York City Wedding.

Oh the possibilities...

Hottest NYC Wedding Trend... Giving Back. Brides all over New York are incorporating ways they can give back at their wedding through charity donations and buying from vendors that donate a portion of their profits to a charity. Check out my NYC International Bridal Week blog to see how you can do the same at your wedding by purchasing tasty wedding favours from Les Cinq Amandes!

The Art of Calligraphy by Melissa Brown

According to Wikipedia:

Calligraphy is a visual art related to writing. It is the design and execution of lettering with a broad tip instrument or brush in one stroke (as opposed to built up lettering, in which the letters are drawn).A contemporary definition of calligraphic practice is "the art of giving form to signs in an expressive, harmonious, and skillful manner". Modern calligraphy ranges from functional inscriptions and designs to fine-art pieces where the letters may or may not be legible.Calligraphy continues to flourish in the forms of wedding and event invitations, font design and typography, original hand-lettered logo design, religious art, announcements, graphic design, and commissioned calligraphic art, cut stone inscriptions, and memorial documents (Wikipedia search: Calligraphy).

Mellisa Brown brings this and more to the art form of calligraphy through her calligraphic services for brides and grooms-to-be. Melissa has been passionate about writing since she was 5 years old and fell in love with her mother's impeccable penmanship. Her first cursive script teacher was her mother, then later she enrolled in classes with a multi-talented art instructor with whom she learned the details of greeting card etching and design, silk screen printing, woodblock printing, and broad-pen calligraphy, the latter of which she continued to practice consistently over the years. After recognizing the talent she had in an art form few have mastered, Melissa knew it was time to bring this personal gift to the public.
