Last Christmas we planned a fun craft night for all of the women who worked in the Salt Harbor and Millie Holloman Photography office.  The night originated because we wanted to create for ourselves some of the holiday crafts we were creating for our clients.  The staff invited their mothers and we expanded the night to some friends; and the evening quickly grew into a party, as is our style.

Millie, of course, captured the night in photographs and after Style Me Pretty blogged the night, we were approached by Better Homes and Gardens to use the photographs.  We are so excited about the result, a 12 page spread of our craft night.

This holiday season, we will be hosting several craft evenings, where people from the community are welcome to join us in creating crafts for their homes.  We will be announcing the dates for our Christmas Crafting soon.  If you would like more information, please write jen@saltharbor.comand we will add you to the SHD newsletter.

My friendship with Millie Holloman and her staff also has been absolutely essential to determining our direction and purpose.  They push us and challenge us everyday, and now that we share an office, the relationship has become all the stronger.

The next few years will be filled with change and growth, and it is exciting and scary all at the same time.  We have projects coming up that I never could have begun to imagine five years ago.  Salt Harbor will adapt and change course as needed, but the the people here will remain at the heart of what we do.

One of our recent discoveries has been product styling.  I had never considered this to be something people might use or need until we were asked by the Nantucket Bike Basket Company to reenvision uses for their baskets and stage them in use in different ways.  We brainstormed with Millie Holloman Photography on unique uses for the baskets and developed the following scenes.  We are looking forward to styling more products and businesses!

We have teamed up with Harborside Event Rentals and created 10 unique design collections.  These collections are inspired by weddings and photo shoots that we have done in the past.  They contain all of the pieces a bride needs to put together the"Salt Harbor" look for her day.  Each collection is designed for 10 tables and 100 guests, but can be increased if needed.  We have even provide the flowers, if the client desires.  These collections are perfect for the client who does wants the SHD look without the planning and design services.  We are so excited about them! 

Click here to view the collections!

Below is an example- The Parisian Collection.  The collection price includes flower boxes, candles and candlesticks, chalkboard menus, table number wine bags, chargers, wicker furniture, pillows, lanterns, escort card chalk board, card box, and more!

]]>Torri + Mikehttp://www.saltharborstyle.com/blog/2012/2/4/torri-mike.html[Your Name Here]2012-02-05T00:29:00Z2012-02-05T00:29:00ZOnce in a while a client comes along who challenges me beyond my comfort zone and pushes me to try things I never imagined.  When I first met Torri, I wondered whether I could pull off this type of wedding.  I had never extended my self so far outside of my own style.  There was nothing rustic or home-spun about this wedding, no wood or seagrass, or burlap.  I had to completely stretch my design to encompass acrylic, crystals, and tons of white fabric.  The result was one that I surprisingly really liked.  I was so glad that Torri came to Salt Harbor and had the confidence that we could push ourselves to match her style.  

In the process of planning her wedding, we fell in love with Torri and her positive personality and always smiling face!  The wedding and reception were held in her backyard and never, in all of my experience, have I encountered such a gracious host!  She brought all of our workers drinks and snacks and kept asking what she could do for us.  It was a great experience, and we are so glad we were able to work with Torri and Mike to plan and style their big day!

My first go at acrylic invitations.

The ceremony was in the back yard with seating in the round.  From the ceiling of the tent we hung a massive floral chandelier. 

Following the ceremony we sent everyone to the tent in front of the house for cocktail hour, while we undertook the largest "flip" of our career.

After an hour or so, we brought Torri back to see the transformation that happened in her back yard.  This was her reaction...

Celebrity DJ Rekka was onsite for the night to provide the music.

A midnight snack.

Thanks Torri and Mike for letting us be a part of such a great event!  You guys are the best!

Thanks so much Lea & Matt for letting us share your special day!

]]>The Atrium by Ligon Flynnhttp://www.saltharborstyle.com/blog/2012/1/20/the-atrium-by-ligon-flynn.html[Your Name Here]2012-01-20T22:31:30Z2012-01-20T22:31:30ZAs I posted earlier in the year, we recently moved into an amazing new space downtown.  It is a dream location, and every single day I am still amazed that I get to work here.  Millie Holloman and I discovered the space when scouting a location for the shoot below, and we fell in love with it instantly.  The shoot led us to Mrs. Susan Flynn, the architect's wife, who was trying to find the perfect people to occupy the space.  She let us shoot in the garden that day and then later, let us occupy the space for offices.  It was fate!

We have been here since April and have been allowing wedding ceremonies in the space.  As of this week, we have more exciting news.  The space is now available for wedding ceremonies and receptions.  Stop by and see the space at 15 South Second!  We can't wait to show you around!
