The gorgeous dress, the blooming bouquets, the first dance, the “I Do”s…when couples dream of their wedding day, they envision all the beauty and happiness their hearts can handle. What can bring them back to reality? The cold, hard foundation of event planning: the budget.
wedding budget in Weddings Nova Bronstein Tuesday, September 20, 2011 at 9:00AM It is said that it is always hard to be the first--- not so, if you ask Debbie Bruce, the first graduate of Sheffield's Jewelry Design Course!!! If Mrs. Bruce is setting a precedent then it seems that Sheffield's Jewelry Design Program is off to a good start!
Debbie chose the plains of the Serengeti in Africa with its abundant wild life and palette of lush greens, golds and baked earth for the story to ground her graduating collection. Her color scheme also perfectly launches us into fall!! So timely, her collection takes the landscape and translated it into visual motifs-- swirls of forged brass-- and a lush mix of baubles in Golden Jade, Green Aventurine, Phoenix Jasper, Smokey Quartz, mocha and cream colored fresh water pearls and a mix of Swarovski crystals. Taking these materials and elements Debbie mixed and wove them into myriad of stunning and wearable jewelry silhouettes.

(Vizcaya - East Terrace)If you ever fantasized about being transported to another world back in time to a period of glittering balls, palatial mansions, formal gardens, and old-world European charm, you may want to visit Vizcaya in Miami, Florida. Yes, Miami! The city of bikinis, nightclubs, and pink flamingoes may not be the first place you associate with old-world charm, but nestled south of its famous beaches is a local treasure, the Vizcaya estate.
Vizcaya was home to James Deering, a wealthy executive at International Harvester. Deering envisioned Vizcaya as a winter retreat reminiscent of Italian palazzos.

(LZF Agatha Light)You walk into a room, any room, and one of the things you take for granted is that there’s going to be light. When there’s light, everything not only looks brighter but bigger also. Plus, with the right light bulbs correctly positioned, a room can be transformed into an inviting place. With this much riding on lighting, you really can’t take it for granted.
One of the easiest ways to throw ambient light around the whole room is to suspend a light fixture in the center of the room.
