Stylish Tuesday – Anne Barge

Anne Barge is my favorite designer, and has been since I began Elegant Event Planning and Design. My first bride wore an Anne Barge dress, which was a sleeveless, simple silk a line gown with boxed pleats. For over 7 years, that dress has stuck out in my mind as one of the most beautiful dresses I have ever seen. Anne Barge is known for her classic designs. Her dresses are of impeccable quality, both in construction and fit. She uses pure silk couture fabrics and simple clean lines and accents them with delicate embroidery and beading. Each dress is a work of art. Her work is classic, and reminds me of icons such as Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn.

The things I like about her dresses are their timeless nature. Whether they were a part of her 1998 or 2008 collections, the dresses are beautiful and relevant in today’s world – something I cannot say for many designers.

I want to share with you, some of the elegant simplicity that she has blessed Brides’ with over the last 10 years.

Enjoy!

Happy Planning!

Wicked Willow is my favorite floral designer. The team of Randy Woods and Tina Owens is amazing – truly, and I will tell you why. Every design that comes out of that studio is perfect in every way. When I am working with them, I can give them a vague idea of a color scheme and feeling of the day and they can come up with multiple amazing ideas that will work. If I go to them with specifics on what the couple wants, they still come up with multiple amazing ideas – that then, I can go back to the Bride and Groom with.

Located in Catonsville, I know I can work with them with all of my clients, no matter whether the wedding is located on the Eastern Shore, or in Baltimore, Washington DC, Virginia, Frederick, Hagerstown, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania – anywhere. Most importantly, their creativity is “out of this world” amazing. I just love doing different things for weddings, because I like to think outside the box. New designs, linens and table arrangements make a wedding so much more unique. I wanted to show you some of their work and also give you an idea of their creativity, so I asked Randy and Tina to send me some of the most unusual arrangements that they have designed for a wedding (arrangements, centerpieces, and bouquets).
