I would like to welcome Jen to this weeks Friday Finds! She is an event planner in the Dc area and is doing the wedding I am attending this weekend in Rehobeth, DE. This feature on her blog is of a bride who had an artist come in and complete a live painting at her wedding! And the artist is the one and only Maggie O'Neill who's wedding is this weekend...Can't wait to share pics on Monday!!! It is going to fabulous!
The Art of Weddings
Today I had the pleasure of seeing one of my favorite vendors perform her magic after the wedding. Maggie O'Neill, owner of O'Neill Studios hand delivered recent client (and SoCo planner extraordinaire), Bridget Reed Newby, her wedding masterpiece. We commissioned Maggie to do live painting during Bridget and Frank's rooftop extravaganza at The Hay Adams Hotel this past May. Bridget and Maggie discussed the work of art prior to the wedding, and together they decided that the bridal party, the view, and of course the happy couple would be the focus of the painting.

So, I was beyond excited to go to Bridget and Frank's to see the finished product, and it was better than I imagined it would be!
The finished masterpiece...I just love it!

Close up shot, can't believe the Monument, White House and Jefferson Memorial were all capture along with the beautiful bridal party!
Maggie is not only a talented artist, but my client for her June 2011wedding! I cannot wait to see what we pull off for her wedding. All I can say is she has mentioned custom made furniture, painting her own bridesmaid dresses and tonight said, "I wish the guests would have costume changes!!!". It is going to be in the words of Rachel Zoe, "BANANAS!!!".
xoxo, Jen
