Looking Back
If I told you how many times I've started and stopped this post, you wouldn't even believe me. This is an emotional one for me for sure.
If I had to sum up 2007 for POSH Events, in one word, it would be growth.
As we approach our 5th year in the business, this has by far been the most memorable. We've changed our name to a name which more accurately reflects our vision to be "smart, fashionable, stylish and educated", expanded our staff and opened a new office.
Our weddings have gone from small and intimate for 46 to large gatherings of 300+ where the secret service joined those on the guest list. From the beach to the ballroom to the Military Fort, this year,we've pretty much have seen it all.
While our Grooms ranged from salesman to politicians to NFL players our Brides were educated, fashionable and extremely poised; and their weddings certainly reflected it.
Our vendors have proven that they can and will defy the odds and time and time again have helped us to make the process appear to be seemless.
We were also extremely fortunate to share in welcoming little bundles of joys for many of our 2006 couples as well as preparing for little angels from our 2007 newlyweds.
Of course my greatest achievement this year was the birth of my son Christian. In having him I truly learned the meaning of unconditional love and the miracle of life.
It's been a good year. From the bottom of my heart I say thank you to all that have entrusted, inspired and endured with us.
Cheers to the New Year!

My Very 1st Christmas
Today was Christian's very first Christmas. We actually started it on Christmas Eve as we recognized dragging a 7th month old between 2 grandparents home was going to be quite the challenge.
He did very well. He actually opened one gift all by himself (although he was a bit confused a mommy partially "tore" the paper to speed up the process). We now have outfits to last way through the winter and well into the summer as well as lots of new toys and gifts.
Thank you to all of you who sent well wishes and cards our way and we hope you to had a very Merry Christmas!
(Notice a special "gift" under the tree)
(Christian opened gifts with his cousin Raymond who is 8 months older than him)

Style Cap with Denise Herker of Leigh Florist, Audobon, New Jersey
This week's style cap is with my Favorite Floral Connect, Denise Leigh Herker of Leigh Florists in Audobon, New Jersey. Denise and I have worked together on many, many weddings and Brides and Vendors alike just love her laid back, enthusiastic personality. She truly has an appreciation for her work and has mastered her craft. Here goes:
Isis: Denise, how long have you been in the Floral Industry?
Denise: I have been in the industry for seven years. Ironically, it started out as a sales position at a local florist in West Chester , PA. Then I starting taking classes at Long wood gardens to learn more about design and many years later, here I am.
Isis: So, what's your favorite part of what you do?
Denise: My favorite part is definitely the weddings and events. I love playing a part in people's lives and there traditions.
Isis: What does a typical day at the Flower shop entail?
Denise: I am always busy so the first thing I do is make my long to do list for the day. A typical day includes talking to vendors, growers, brides, customers and designing for all different events. The day actually flies by believe it or not, from start to finish it's usually non-stop!
Isis: Tell us something that we'd never guess about you?
Denise: When I found the shop 3 1/2 years ago it had been named Leigh florist since 1918 which is my middle name. It has seemed "meant to be" ever since.
Isis: I still can't get over that story! lol
Isis: What common mistake do Brides make when it comes to flowers?
Isis: What do you seen in terms of Floral trends for 2008?
Denise: Trends for the new year... we are still seeing vibrant shades as well as black and white classic weddings. Centerpieces varying in style and sizes, smaller posy bouquets for bridesmaids, branches and non traditional elements.
Isis: How would you categorize your signature style?
Denise: Elegant European garden style with unique details. I love what I do and I hope that ultimately shines through in every finished product!
Where can interested Brides and Grooms find you?
We are located on the web at www.leighflorist.com or at the studio @ 400 Amherst Rd., Audubon, NJ 08106 | T. 856 547 1090
