Several weeks ago we hosted a party at LMD in tandem with Barbera Brooks, owner of B Brooks Fine Flowers. (B Brooks is the nationwide network of boutique florist – a top drawer FTD if you will). This is the second year that Barbera has had this party – the weekend of the New York [...]
I don’t know if you had a chance to see it yet, but LMD had the honor of being featured in the current issue of Martha Stewart Weddings. It was a great experience because we got to create an environment – not just set down some pretty flowers, and I was pleased that they captured [...]

This was one of those projects where everything was a pleasure and fell into place with perfect ease. The bride, Romy, wins [...]
