The latest color for weddings….brown and anything goes!

March 28th, 2009 by Pegeen.com | No Comments | Filed in Brown Weddings, Flower Girl Dresses, Weddings by Color

Every day I get photos from our brides or moms with their wedding photographs.  It is for me, like opening presents on Christmas day!  When I get these emails to our special gallery folder my computer chirps with an audio file downloaded from Harry Potter (more on my favorite series some day) “Ah! Mail’s here”.  I usually stop what I am doing and peek at the emails because I can’t wait to see those photos after my customer’s weddings.

I know I am cutting a lot of brown weddings because of the number of bolts of chocolate brown and semi-sweet silk we go through in a week.  What I am always surprised with is the combination of colors with browns.  Here is a wonderful page to visit:

Wedding of the month: An Irish Wedding

March 13th, 2009 by Pegeen.com | No Comments | Filed in Destination Weddings, Flower Girl Dresses, Green Weddings, Wedding Planning

I started my company in March of 1982, appropriately given the Irish name of Pegeen, with the assistance of my mother,  Joan.  Sadly and with great heartache, my mother passed away this month.  Mom suffered from Alzheimer’s  and my company will not be the same without her encouragement and taste.  I love you Mom.

For all of you who remember the two of us working together at the trade shows in New York, Chicago and Las Vegas, I am sure you will miss her strong presence and charm like I do.  Mom helped me at so many of the shows, tirelessly.  Once, an editor wrote a story about us at Pegeen and included an appropriate description of her: Spry and energetic.  Donations in remembrance of Mrs. Hyland can be made to the Alzheimer’s Foundation, 322 Eighth Avenue, 7th Floor, New York, NY 10001

We are also so pleased to present our latest Wedding of the Month for March.  This is a special month for me, as it represents 27 years of business for us here at Pegeen.com®  when I started our company.  This months wedding highlight is a wedding in Ireland.  Our bride chose style 345 for her girls, in Grass Green and Grape and for the ring bearer, a white silk suit in style 215.  They purchased a matching silk ring bearer pillow. Venue: The Ardenode Country House Hotel www.ardenodehotel.com Ballymore Eustace, County Kildare 045 864198
