An Amazing Gray & Yellow Autumn Wedding at Boscobel in New York

Today's wedding comes to us from Boscobel, an amazing colonial estate and gardens venue in Garrison, New York. Seriously, there are so many beautiful things about this property I don't even know where to begin. Except to say, if you are looking for a venue in New York and have the means, you must put this place on your short list. It's beautiful! And photographer Kim Coccagnia of Photography by Kimberly Coccagnia did a lovely job of capturing Jessica and Andrew and their big day. I just LOVE the silly, sweet and laughing looks they share in so many images. And OH-MY, I have to mention Jessica's Click Here to Read More

Foodie Fridays: Roasted Baby Potatoes Soaked in Parmesan Yummy Goodness

If you're watching your weight and cholesterol, (which we should all be doing to some degree), you may not want to try this recipe fully loaded...or maybe just make a batch once in a VERY blue moon. These babies are sinful! And unfortunately, though we tried to make them using olive oil, they need to be made with the fat of butter so the gooey goodness will stick together. It's okay though, you can lighten it up by adding less butter and cheese and like I said, don't make it very often ;-) Makes about 3 servings INGREDIENTS 1 pound baby potatoes, scrubbed and cut in half 1.76 Click Here to Read More

A Drool Worthy Vintage-Chic Styled Wedding Shoot at Heritage Park

Sometimes when I receive a wedding or styled shoot like the one I'm featuring today, I want to go back in time and re-do my entire wedding based on the beautiful details and design they've put together. I know, I say this a couple times a year, but I mean it as the highest compliment. Believe me, it's hard not to fall in love with all the pretty when I see so many drool worthy weddings and shoots everyday. And clearly this styled shoot is no exception. The goal with today's styled shoot was to produce a modern, shabby-chic style with vintage elements and boy did they do it well! Photographer: Click Here to Read More

Let Us NOT Forget The Damage Caused By Sandy + A Coney Island Engagement Session

Fab You Bliss is a place of happy inspiration. But occasionally it's important to mention certain not-so-happy current events, especially when such happenings have directly affected an area that is being featured here. Like much of the Northeast Coast, Coney Island was greatly affected by Super Storm Sandy. And while the evening and Internet news might not be completely focused on the devastation anymore, there's still a lot of work to fully recover. So I just wanted to mention that those of us not directly affected ARE still thinking about you and donating money and/or time. We will not forget. Click Here to Read More

A Sweet Literature Themed Serra Plaza Wedding with Adorable Programs Made By The Bride & Groom’s Son

I love it when I have the opportunity to feature weddings where every detail has a purpose and they all come together in a beautiful theme. Alicia and Ben's wedding theme was centered around literature with many classic novels dispersed throughout the venue and reception area. As beautiful as their theme was though, the most important aspect of their wedding was the family element revolving around their son, Khonrad. This day was not just about Alicia and Ben. To the newlyweds, it was just as important to celebrate their new family coming together as a whole. One of the favorite details Click Here to Read More
