November 3, 2010 | editorial team

My fabulous partner and co-founder of Junebug Weddings, Blair, recently had the pleasure of being a guest of Beaches and Martha Stewart Weddings at the Beaches Turks and Caicos Resort and today she’s telling us all about her amazing experience there and what makes it a one-of-a-kind location for destination weddings. Take it away Blair!

Beaches Turks and Caicos Resort with destination wedding packages from Martha Stewart Weddings

If youre getting married and you already have kids, or if there will be lots of children in attendance at your wedding, finding creative ways to include them and still have the wedding and honeymoon youre looking for can be quite a challenge. No wonder all-inclusive resorts have become so popular with smart couples looking to find answers to this dilemma. With hundreds of resorts for you to choose from, there are very few choices that can compare with the dazzling array of activities and amenities offered at the Beaches Turks and Caicos Resort. Providing fun entertainment, gourmet food and cocktails, and roomy, elegant accommodations (some with bunk beds in a separate room or adjoining bedrooms); plus elegant wedding planning solutions from the creative team at Martha Stewart Weddings, this is the destination where even discerning expectations are exceeded.

Junebug’s ALL NEW Bridal Market Fashion Report!

November 1, 2010 | editorial team

Junebug's all new Bridal Market Fashion Report!Featuring the fashion shows of Monique Lhuillier, Amsale and Angel Sanchez, photography by John and Joseph Photography and Jane Lee Photography

Welcome to your week Junebug readers – have I got a treat for you! Today is the day we’re unveiling our all new Bridal Market Fashion Report!

This is a project that I’ve been dreaming of putting together for years, so what a huge thrill it was when I got to take three ultra-talented photographers, John and Joey Hong from John and Joseph Photography and Jane Hong from Jane Lee Photography, behind the scenes at the Angel Sanchez, Amsale and Monique Lhuillier Fall 2011 fashion shows during NY Bridal Market. Our goal was to capture the events like flies on the wall so that you could take one look at the images and know what it feels like to be right there in the middle of all the action. Happily, I do believe we’ve hit the mark. Take a peek at a few of the incredible images that John, Joey and Jane captured below (as well as a few personal snapshots of our trip) and then jump over to our Fashion Report section to see the whole feature!

Now, I don’t usually post many photos of myself here since this blog isn’t about me, but about you and all your wedding planning possibilities, but since the theme of this whole Fashion Report is “behind the scenes” I thought I ought to give you a look behind the scenes during our busy week in New York City as well. Plus, it turns out that traveling with three photographers will give a girl more photos of herself than she’s ever had before! It’s quite a treat to be totally honest, and I simply couldn’t have had a better time with my dear friends John, Joey and Jane as we ran, cabbed, laughed, worked and celebrated our way through the city. This is a trip I will never forget, and these are just a few of the photos and snapshots taken by my trusty photography crew as they documented our adventure together…

And although the following photos are only from my iPhone (please forgive me for posting them fellow professional photographers of the world!) this is how I saw the week – through constantly grateful and excited eyes watching my crew work so very hard to make this Fashion Report happen. John, Joey and Jane, you’re the best!

Huge thanks also to the teams at Angel Sanchez, Amsale and Monique Lhuillier for being so talented and gracious, and for allowing us such incredible access to their beautiful shows!
