Oysters...Proseco...

Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the treats from Bon Savor (served with panache by Sammy J.) Blanchards and Cobwebs Antiques/Florals. Not to mention our own home made heart cookies by photographer Lori DiSantos.

Some of the 14 Stories floral arrangements. (Love them!)

Thanks to all the amazing creative people who made the Love Scenes opening such a success!

It is really gratifying for me to get word this morning that the artists involved in Love Scenes are happy with the show and the opening. I just have to share some of their comments (below). I am waiting to get some photos from the day of the reception...will post soon! The live models courtesy of JPDame with hair and make-up by Styling by Lisette, the perfect-exactly-what-I would-have-imagined flowers by 14stories - and the absolutely wonderful live music by Catherine Bent of Axis Ensemble really made the art opening feel more like a celebration of love. ( Not to mention the oysters from Bon Savor and other goodies.) I know I had a great time anyway!

"Hi, The show was a huge success! What a great turn out we had.
It was so nice to be part of such a wonderful show with all of you! Edana, you did a spectacular job organizing everything, and all of my guests commented on how elegant and lovely it was."
- Lori DeSantis

"Ditto Lori and thank you so much Edana! The opening was a huge success and so much fun to be a part of. It was so great to meet all of you and I am looking forward to spending some more time with you during the de-installation of the work. Lori, you cookies were delicious and worth every calorie :) Thank you again everyone for a wonderful collaboration."
- Sheryl Pace

"Yes! Multitudes of thanks to Edana for being a kick-ass promoter/organizer. I felt the day was a tremendous success, and was so happy to be a part of it."

Flowers!!

'I'm marveling at all the creative businesses tucked away in JP that have come out to participate in Love Scenes. For instance, 14stories is generously providing a variety of floral arrangements that sound like they will be inspirational for brides-to-be. Can't wait to see them. Also, I was perusing their site and learned they've published a book called Gay Wedding Confidential.' Pretty cool.

Vintage Wedding Wear

The art is pretty much up and now I am so looking forward to seeing what Dany of JP Dame and Styling by Lisette have up their sleeve for Saturday. I just heard Dany's bringing in 'a ton of crazy fun white lace, tulle & satin dresses'!
