Oscar de la Renta Forever

Oscar de la Renta, a man who's name is synonymous with what it means to dress like a lady, passed away at the age of 82 yesterday.  In honor of his legacy we would like to share some of our most favorite of his designs.

The First Ladies

Oscar de la Renta has dressed every First Lady the United States has seen since Jackie Kennedy.  Even though he scolded her for wearing a J. Crew sweater to Buckingham Palace, First Lady Michelle Obama finally wore one of his gowns at a White House cocktail party earlier this month.  We loved it.

The Celebrity Brides 

Many a celebrity has chosen Oscar de la Renta for her wedding day (Kate Bosworth wore two!) but we're most taken with his most recent design for the new Mrs. Clooney, Amal Alamuddin; so classically beautiful, so very perfect. 

The Sarah Jessica Parker 

SJP a style icon of her own can never do wrong in our eyes, but some of our favorite looks of hers both on and off screen have been courtesy of Oscar de la Renta.  

Fashion magnate.  Cultural icon.  Design legend.  Mr. de la Renta you will be missed. 

Cleveland Wedding Planner | Golden Woodland Winter Wedding | Featured on Elizabeth Anne Designs

We are so honored to be featured on Elizabeth Anne Designs today for the sparkly rustic wedding we designed for Kelsey & Matt!  Kelsey & Matt were married in January and wanted a golden woodland vibe which their venue, The Club at Hillbrook, lent itself perfectly to.  We used elements like gilded pinecones at each place setting to hold guests' place cards, shimmery gold striped linens, and uber-textured florals to complete the cozy winter look.  And we were so happy Kelsey took our advice and worked her heirloom fur over her wedding gown - she looks stunning doesn't she?  For the full feature on Elizabeth Anne Designs click here and check out a few of our favorite images from Lane Baldwin Photography below:
