Hollywood Glamour PDF Print E-mail
ywd08_hollywoodglam_title.jpg
Written by: Susan Hart Hellman
Photography:   Norma Lopez Molina
Set Designer:  Linda Pittelli, Linda Pittelli’s Eventful

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.”

Platinum for Priscilla of Boston (Style #PL178)
ywd08_hollywoodglam_5.jpg 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.

Tips
  • #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.”

  • #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.
    Carmina McGee, Skin – Health - Well-Being

  • #21 LA FLEUR TABLE
    Cover your entire table top with a single bold color of petals. Not just a scattering, but the entire top of the table with a thick layer of petals! You can purchase them at a farmers market or order them through your florist. Place your chargers, place settings, glassware and centerpieces in a contrasting color and lots of candles directly onto the petals for a stunning, romantic look!
