 Any diamond will carry a romantic message to a beloved bride, but only one will set her heart on fire. A diamond that is so perfectly cut that it has all the classic elements of a diamond’s beauty—brilliance, dispersion and scintillation. A diamond that sparkles like a red-hot fire. A Hearts On Fire diamond.

The famous director Mr. Cecil B. DeMille should definitely be called in, because this Your Wedding Day Hollywood Glamour event design is as worthy of a close-up as was any Age of Glamour movie star.
Representing grand entrances made even more dramatic by plunging
necklines and beaded purses, white tie and tails, diamonds, sequins,
and crystals, designer Linda Pittelli defines the Glamorous Old
Hollywood era and her event design as “stunning, lavish, opulent, sexy,
timeless, nostalgic, sleek, alluring, and elegant.” |

Particular applause goes to her ice bar, which encompasses many of the descriptors above. Linda says. “I pictured Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire standing at an ice bar, having a martini, ready to step out onto a lustrous pearl -cream dance floor. The small frosted glass illuminated vintage DC3 airplane on the bar is the product of another fantasy. I fantasized that Ingrid Bergman had flown to the party in it, leaving Rick on that infamous airstrip in Casablanca.”
Awards are also in order for the rosewater mirrored vanity. Concerning
inspiration for this design element, Linda says she envisioned Eva
Gardener “lounging on the fur-lined settee sipping on a glass of the
Pink Bubbly.”
And, then there is the blockbuster, top of the charts tabletop!
Featuring long- stemmed callas projecting tall from silver-leafed
vases; jewel table-accents; jewel-appointed linens, with even more
jewel strands cascading to the floor, this is reminiscent of so many
settings where the vintage Hollywood glitterozzi enjoyed vintage
Champagnes, exotic liquors, private stashes of caviar, and then for
curtain call, a fine Cuban Cohiba.
Who would present this Your Wedding Day Hollywood Glamour event with an
Oscar? The envelope please! Any couple would, but especially, Linda
says, those with an affinity for the most Devastatingly Chic.

#26 MARRYING MINDFULLY
Creating the “perfect wedding” can easily overshadow what is really
important about getting married—creating a sacred and lifelong bond
with your beloved. Your wedding is not a “to-do” list. Take time to
tend to your relationship and to yourselves so that you enter into the
celebration relaxed, joyful, and with a full heart.

#11 QUICK FIX
Traveling with an emergency kit is like the American Express campaign, “Don’t leave home without it.” It should have everything from panty hose and nail glue to smelling salts and Tums, but the most commonly used item is SAFETY PINS! Although you should have a needle and thread, I have resorted to using safety pins for fixing hems on tuxedos, bustling the brides gown, pinning broken bra straps and creating a veil or headpiece out of tulle when the bride’s was left at home. Safety pins are great for a “quick fix.”

# 1 - LOUNGING ANYWHERE
Wonder what to do to a resort ballroom to make it more interesting and intimate? You can create individual lounge areas by renting tents of sheer flowing fabric and adding sofas and coffee tables with lots of candlelight in them. You’ve suddenly created that romantic lounge atmosphere in a standard ballroom and given it more intimacy. Your guests can move to different “rooms” during the cocktails hour or or they can dance the night away. Jill La Fleur, The Wedding Planner
