{Friday Favorite} Ariella Chezar Martha Stewart Weddings

There are certain images, certain editorials that have the ability to transport you to another place, another time, to somewhere you may have only ever dreamed about.  For me, one such editorial was featured in the Winter 2007 issue of Martha Stewart Weddings.

In that issue I stumbled upon an article unassumingly titled "centerpieces with fruit & flowers".  I quickly recognized that with imagery so breathtaking of centerpieces so perfect, they probably could've done without a title to the article entirely.  The arrangements so strikingly crafted by the genius who is Ariella Chezar leapt from the page, each one complete perfection.  I know I'm gushing, but I can't help it.  Take a look at the editorial spread in it's full glory below and you'll know why it's been a perennial favorite of mine.

Even now, years after seeing them for the first time, I never tire of these images and still find inspiration in them every time I view them.  To me, that's the true essence of timeless design; something perfect, something so wonderful in it's craftsmanship that the passing years have no power over it's relevance.  

Happy Friday!
