Susan & Steven

mwalm00614_fal08_savor_port.jpg

It was love at first sight, says cookbook author Susan Spungen, a former Martha Stewart Living top food editor. Recalling his seven dates in seven days with Susan, art-gallery owner Steven Kasher agrees: "We bonded right away." The two share many passions, including a sense of humor. Take the proposal: kneeling in front of an 18th-century church in Paris, Steven presented Susan with a plastic light-up ring.

Invitations

mwa103494_fal08_sav_station.jpg

Summer's bounty inspired both the invitations and the ceremony. The stationery is a mix of classic and informal typography, calligraphy, and letterpress. Slate-gray ink, fruit stamps, and images of spring-green apples letterpressed on envelope liners add fanciful twists. Table numbers were replaced by cards stamped with messages such as, "You are seated at Pole Beans."

Table Decor
