NewlyWish Registry + WWRD

Tuesday, October 25, 2011 Uncategorized  

I was super excited to photograph this project of styled tabletops for NewlyWish.  The unique contemporary registry site NewlyWish recently collaborated with Waterford, Wedgwood and Royal Doulton, featuring individually styled table settings by 5 wedding tastemakers including: Abby Larson (Style Me Pretty), Ceci Johnson (Ceci Stationery), Xochitl Gonzalez & Mayra Castillo (of Always a Bridesmaid), Marcy Blum, Atelier Mark Ingram plus Jorge Pérez, and Lord Wedgwood. Each table was styled by the sweet and talented Eric Hildebrand. The gorgeous flowers were done by Melarosa. Working with Amanda and Robard from NewlyWish and the whole team during this shoot was super fun. It was the day Hurricane Irene was approaching nyc, making this shoot so memorable. Throughout he 11 hour day – I was on the phone with the hubby, coordinating our evacuation. We left that night for upstate NY, sealed our home and hoped for the best. Luckily all was well and we got a nice little escape from the city, unexpectedly. Check out the table settings below, which is your fave?

oh, and the best part? You can enter to win a $4,500 credit to use towards Waterford, Wedgwood, or Royal Doulton china and crystal. To enter, simply create a registry on NewlyWish. Go here to find out more, including additional ways to enter! The sweepstakes begins today, October 24, 2011 and ends on April 24, 2012, with the winner announced on May 1, 2012.

Abby’s table above, soft pinks + vintage charm

Ceci’s table makes me think of a mod mexican fiesta

Xotchitl and Mayra’s farmhouse table feels like a great setting for a fancy brunch

Marcy’s table: parisian & elegant- love the yellow stripes, so daring

Mark’s table is utterly sophisticated

And the Lord Wedgwood’s set – a contemporary parlor feel

Thanks again to NewlyWish for having me out to shoot this and to the Wedgwood team for hosting us at their beautiful nyc showroom.

    Stunning table settings and photos. It’s making me want to “renew my vows” just so I can register for all this gorgeous china. ;)

    All absolutely breathtaking! Very partial to blue and white but, really if I were to come to dinner and this was the table setting, I would think someone very important had been invited.

    I keep telling Robbie we should make it official (i.e. get married) … even if it’s just to register for lovelies like these! ;)

    Gorgeous serving china and ideas! I am looking for new ways to decorate the kitchen in a modern way with an eclectic feel, detailed and pattern plates may be the way to go!

    AMAZING photos (as always!!!).

    I was reminded of your blog site yesterday when I was casually reading Better Homes and Garden Nov issue mag and there you were Karen ….. CONGRATS on being featured! The pics and article was great.

    As for this post, I love the soft pinks of Abby’s table … though my hubby would think it too ‘girly’ for our home. Marks table is amazing as well (very masculine), so if I had to choose a table setting for my home it would be a happy medium – Ceci’s table .. lovely and overall ‘happy looking’. Have a GREAT day!!
