Hello friends! I’m excited to have a quote the New York Times today (10-27), on the subject of black wedding dresses. Feel free to skip the front page and go right to the Thursday Styles section. NY Times Thursday Styles 10-27-11
I’d like to express some gratitude to all who’ve voted for me in the “Event Designer of the Year” category on BizBash.com. Since the nominations were announced, Fête has received many well-wishes, pledges of daily voting (Yes, you can vote once a day!), and enthusiasm from the event community at large. Needless to say, we’re honored by the recognition.
Voting closes this Sunday night, and we’re hoping our friends and families will make another visit to BizBash.com to lend your support. (Here’s the site: http://www.bizbash.com/nyvotes.) Just scroll down, click “Jung Lee” in the column to the left of my picture, and hit “Vote.” Easy.
I’ll even throw in a free event for anyone who votes for me! (Just kidding… Unfortunately, that’s impossible. But I’d love your support, all the same.)
Thanks for the support!
Jung and the Fête team
It’s not very “me” to plunk a generic cake topper at the center of a beautiful wedding cake. I much prefer to create an effect that speaks to the specific people taking their vows. But a customized wedding cake topper? While not for everyone, the right one can give a nod to tradition while being thoroughly unique… and that’s exactly what Fête is all about.
Recently, we commissioned cake master Sylvia Weinstock—a legend in the industry and a true artist—to create the ultimate wedding topper for a couple with two kids and a sweet dog. Not only does Sylvia’s topper look exactly like them, she incorporated the whole family (two- and four-legged members, alike).
The couple can now keep their one-of-a-kind cake topper forever, in a clear shadowbox, with photos from the wedding. It’s a great reminder that the world is sweet, and this family is literally on top of it.
Tell All
A simple enough structure—printed vinyl fabric draped over metal frames, amplified by some dramatic lighting—revelers popped in to wish the happy couple well… and perhaps tell a few sinful stories. Needless to say, guests were lined up throughout the evening, and the tales became saucier as the night went on.
When all was said and done, our expert videographer interspersed these confessions with footage from the dance floor. Now, the couple can look back on hilarious and heartfelt messages, told in a way that means something to them.
The fewer sacred cows to show up at your wedding ceremony, the better, no?
