I LOVE NEW YORK! It's truly the most exciting city in the world to visit. If you're there sometime during the next four weeks--and if you're a bride-to-be--you'll want to check out the Conde' Nast Bridal Media Dream House at 112 E. 73rd Street. They've created the surroundings every bride would love to come home to after the honeymoon. It's all there--furniture, kitchen appliances and utensils from Cuisinart and The Pampered Chef, accessories from J.C. Penny Wedding Registry, and gorgeous wedding gowns from David's Bridal. They've even placed some amazing and unique Kate Aspen wedding favors, wedding shower favors and bridesmaids' gifts throughout the home,all of which can be found at myweddingfavors.com! When you walk into the kitchen, look for the "It's About Time!" Champagne Bucket Timer. Also in the kitchen you'll find the "Whisked Away" heart whisk favor, which is totally cute! Head into the dining room, where you might find lovely wedding gown candles decorating the tables.
Aaaah, the bedroom--after you've just returned home from your destination wedding and honeymoon. Look for some great wedding shower favors there, like the seashells gel candle and the Adirondack chair tea light and place card holder. One of Kate Aspen's airplane luggage tag favors might still be attached to the luggage in the bedroom. Be sure to check out the delighful "Sunny Daisy" bath confetti in the fabulous bathroom. By the way, along with all the magnificent decor in the home, you'll also get to meet a number of wedding experts while you're there, like Sasha Souza, a premiere event designer, and professional astrologers The Astro Twins! You can also meet hair stylist and beauty expert Mark Garrison, and perhaps in that incredible living room, you'll chat with Jo Ann Gregoli, a master bridal consultant! You know what else is in the living room? More Kate Aspen wedding favors and wedding shower favors, like the "Good Wishes" photo coasters, an elegant beaded frame, and near the bar you'll find a gorgeous heart bottle stopper. You'll probably notice that some of the favors' beautiful gift boxes are part of Kate Aspen's Personality Boxes exclusive wedding favor and wedding shower favor packaging. It's a one-of-a-kind concept that let's you choose your favor presentation based on your personality--anywhere from traditional to whimsical, Kate Aspen has you covered. And somewhere in the home, you'll come upon two super bridesmaids' gifts. One is the "Cosmopolitan" Monogrammed Cosmetic Travel Bag (how NYC!), and the other is the "Cosmopolitan" Monogrammed Manicure Set--two gifts your friends would love! This dream home is loaded with all kinds of goodies!If you live in New York, hop a subway to E. 73rd before November 15. Those of you outside of NYC should take a little trip to the Big Apple--it's worth it. If you can't make it to "the city" in the next month, at least check out the Dream House Web site at brides.com/promotions/dreamhouse. And don't forget, if you want to take a closer look at all the fantastic Kate Aspen favors (and more!) featured in the Dream House, go to myweddingfavors.com. You'll probably spend hours there dreaming of the possibilities. Oh, and check back here at the blog in the next few days. We'll have more from NYC's newest exhibit! Meanwhile, have a delightful day, and sweet dreams to you all!
