Toasted Brooklyn Wedding Event
Want to see me in action!? I'm happy to say that I will be one of the vendors at the Toasted Brooklyn Wedding Event in Brooklyn, NY. Why does a Jersey based florist go to Brooklyn. Well the show isn't only geared towards Brooklyn couples or vendors, they want people from the surrounding areas. A place where people who don't typically do or want the run of the mill are welcome. Let's face it if you've been on the NJ wedding show circuit you know it's a bit stale…so why not go to Brooklyn to find what you can't get from a wedding show here….at least for now…I'm going to try to convince them to host a NJ based show in the near future. Until then I'm off to Brooklyn and I hope you will be too!

When it rains it pours! I feel like so many wonderful things are all happening at the same time…I can barely keep up!
by Petronella Photography
The story of how I met Petronella is an interesting one. I was at a wedding show when a nice woman came up to me. She told me that she was there helping a friend find vendors for her upcoming wedding. We talked for a long while, not only about wedding stuff but life stuff, and that conversation was the highlight of the show for me. Two weeks later I received a postcard in the mail from by Petronella Photography. Turns out Petronella was looking for other vendors to reach out to and create relationships with. I contacted her and a few weeks later we made plans to meet for lunch. It was so nice, especially since it was the first time I had been out in the world, besides doing weddings, since the birth of my daughter. At this point my little Olivia was 4 months old. I told Petronella that the next day I would be going into the city to pick up flowers for my next wedding. I also told her I would be doing this with Olivia, as baby girl, refused to take a bottle…so she came everywhere with me this past fall…including the 11 trips I made into NYC to pick up flowers and the 11 weddings said flowers were for. She jumped at the chance to follow me and document my story. This past week her bio of me was featured on her blog.
I can say this with heartfelt honesty that Petronella is an amazing photographer, a wonderful person, and now happily I can add her not only to the category of colleague but also friend. Here is the link to the blog…..and seriously I just want to eat up Lilu (Olivia Lucille :) when I see these pictures!

Feature in the Woodbridge Sentinel
So to me this is very exciting. My local township newspaper ran a story on Tracey Reynolds Floral Design after learning that I won the 2014 Couples Choice Award from Wedding Wire. It was published yesterday. Here is the link, and you can find me on page 9!

A Beautiful Thank You From a Beautiful Bride
This wedding was one of my favorites from last year, and a while back the bride sent me this beautiful thank you card, but Olivia wasn't even a month old and my life was a blur so I never got around to posting it. I actually met the bride while I was on site at the Windows on the Water at Frogbridge, while setting up for a wedding. She, the groom, and her family were on site scouting out the venue. She asked for my card and the rest was history.
Here is the link to the post on my old blog for my stories and more pictures from the wedding.
Here is a link to receptions spaces site, where they featured the wedding.
And the reception site also featured a video of their wedding…here is the link to vimeo where you can view it.

Munaluchi Bridal Tour
Early in December I was invited to the Munaluchi City to City Tour. And I'm thinking I need to get a headshot done, because I am in a few pictures on their blog post about the event, but how would you know who I am!
Well in the link above about halfway through the pictures I am posing with two other lovely ladies. One, my friend Zuzy (on the very left), who just moved back to the East Coast after 10 years on the West. She's getting her feel back for the city and all things New York so I thought she would make a great plus one. And the wonderful Petronella of Petronella photography, she's in the middle. She is responsible for the pictures on their blog post and is one of the contributors in the fall/winter issue in stores now. I recently met Petronella, and over lunch we discussed business and the world of weddings. On a whim she decided to capture my trip, the next morning, to NYC to get flowers and supplies for that weekends wedding..all with little Olivia in tow. I'm looking forward to posting the pictures! Back to finding me...I am on the right, the brunette with the shimmery navy blue sweater. Zuzy and I are also in a picture further down looking at the ridiculous pictures we took in the photo booth.
But I'm not posting about this so you can see me, I'm posting about it because I love Munaluchi Brides and how they have focused on a niche in the market that has gone overlooked by some of the other big bridal magazines. The magazine caters towards brides of color, all color, and in the words of the Editor, Jacqueline Nwobu, (who I was so lucky to meet) it's a place where her daughter can see women who look like her, look beautiful.
The husband and wife team started the magazine out of their home and now their bi-yearly magazine is carried in major retailers like Barnes and Noble. Pretty amazing. I am so inspired by how successful they have become, with three young children running around (hmmm sounds very familiar to me!). It helps me to push through those days when honestly taking care of three children and continuing to build my floral design business just seems daunting.
This was actually my first night out since the birth of my third five months prior…and it was much needed! They gave me a reason to actually put real people clothes on, do my hair, and have a night on the town. Thank you Munaluchi Bride for a wonderful evening.
