If you’re trying to do something a little different for your centerpieces, Martha Stewart Weddings just posted these awesome non-flower centerpieces.   And most of them are DIY!

WeddingWire CEO, Timothy Chi and Martha Stewart at the Blair House, December 2009

CEO, Timothy Chi, and his wife, Tracey, were out and about during the Holidays!  They attended the State Department Reception at the Blair House (the President’s Guest House)  in downtown Washinton, DC.  Martha Stewart was one of six lifestyle magazines asked to help decorate the house for this wonderful event that honored families of government employees working overseas.

As an added bonus, Tim and Tracey also got to meet Matthew Morrison (Mr. Schu from Glee)!

A few members of the WeddingWire Team exercised their creativity last week by designing wine glasses!

Some of us truly enjoyed the use of glitter, while others truly showcased their artistic talents.  Either way, we are all very proud of each of our glasses!

Congratulations to our My Wedding in a Week – Los Angeles winning couple, Patty and Jerry, who are now husband and wife! We are so happy for this amazing couple! Their wedding was absolutely beautiful thanks to our exceptional wedding professionals who gave their time and services to this unique promotion.

With the help of Los Angeles-based wedding consultant, Wedding Jeannie, everything came together last Friday afternoon as Patty and Jerry said ‘I Do’ in front of friends and family at The Belamar Hotel in Manhattan Beach. A HUGE thank you to all of our participating vendors! The couple is currently enjoying their honeymoon package from Fairmont Miramar Hotel & Bungalows!
