20 Vendor Ideas to Steal From the “Martha Stewart Weddings” 20th-Anniversary Party
From Peter Callahan to the Troy Curtis Group, all the talents that helped us make it an evening to remember.
To celebrate two decades in print, we threw a platinum-themed bash at The Pierre hotel in New York City last week and invited all our friends to join us for the festivities. Among them were some of our favorite planners, bakers, florists, and more that know how to make a party stand out from the rest. Here, we take a spin through the event and highlight their work to get you inspired should you be putting together your own affair.
David Stark Design’s large songbird-shaped topiaries with a dovetail banner that read “tweet, tweet, love is sweet!” welcomed guests.
