I'm pretty happy with the response I'm getting from the Colorblind Productions Etsy site and the Tiled Photo Murals. I was perusing the Pottery Barn catolog and saw this...
Look familiar? This Framed New York City Mural sells for $549 (on sale from $799) and is identical to my tiled photo mural. (My cost is only $50.) I've been having fun with the murals in the creativity of others. One concept was to have the mural printed on transparencies so that they can be put up as a space divider that allowed for light to travel through and simultaneously show the picture. That's pretty damn cool in my opinion. My sister in law thought it would be great to put it on iron on transfers to be able to iron it onto fabric and make a blanket or curtains. Creativity abounds with this. Cost is a bit more for specialty paper.
So they are not only for parties but for decoration. Especially great for large spaces that need a little oomph. So I leave you with some inspiration. Enjoy.

Winter Wonderland Wedding at the Madison Hotel
I love the Madison Hotel. I've worked there several times and it boasts one of the most beautiful all glass rooms which gives you such a sense of being outdoors while being inside. It is a stunning venue. And I thoroughly enjoy working with one of my favorite maitre d' Carlos. He's not only on top of his game but very client focused which is always such an important trait, and he's also a lover of music and a guy I'd actually really love to hang out with. Rob certainly kept him as well as the Bride and Groom and their guests happy by throwing down a wedding where the music varied from Salsa and Merengue to House and Classic early 80's music that even I haven't heard in a while. It's always so refreshing to hear music you haven't heard in a while. I can tell you honestly that being at an event most every weekend, some songs just end up getting played out. And I'm not even talking about the Cha Cha Slides of music which I sometimes wish I could never hear again, but good songs that you just get tired of.
In any case - the ceremony and reception were both held in this beautiful room that just was enveloped in a plethora of holiday cheer. Holiday themed weddings are so joyous.
The aisle was candle lit
Place cards were attached to adorable ornament holders
Decor was festive
And bells rang for kisses

The link to samples of our videography is finally live on our website. I'm steadily uploading more videos to be viewed but there are a good collection of them there. Here are some examples
Home is where the wedding is - Fall Outdoor Beauty
What happens when a visual display manager for a large department store gets married? She surrounds herself with visually dramatic and aesthetically beautiful items that highlight the most simple of spaces.
An outdoor wedding in early October on the grounds of the brides' childhood home in Freehold was the perfect venue for a most perfect day. I had the pleasure of being the coordinator while Rob DJ'd for the day. As the coordinator I was introduced to a first for me! Transporting the cake from the bakery to the home, a distance of about 10 miles. Driving slow and turning even slower was my mantra through out. The cake was fully assembled and boxed and arrived successfully without issue.
But the fact is that the venue, its decoration and all those attending embodied Mike and Liz and their individual persona. Having helped hang the mum-balls that were personally made by Liz and candles from the trees, alongside my assistant Maggie, set up the ceremony chairs and then dismantled the space and moved the chairs under the tent to the reception, decorated the tree with laminated pictures, stacked the monogrammed pumpkins and ensured that all these fabulous details came together I saw first hand the kind of thought and initiative made in every detail of this wedding. It was beautiful, personal and fabulous. The graphic design of a flower was seen throughout, the invitations, the wish cards, the pumpkin carvings.
The day could not have been more beautiful.
Behind the 8 ball
There is a certain love we have in most of what we do at Colorblind Productions. We're so intricately entwined with our clients, our work and our lives that sometimes the separation between them all is nearly impossible. Its especially so when work resides with us, when the phone rings and we feel an obligation to depart from 'life' and pursue work. It is proof that we truly love what we do. Beyond that our clients become more then clients. They are people we want to hang out with and people we sometimes end up calling friends.
But having so much input in everything and being the catch all for every obligation comes with it's share of stresses. As the holiday season comes into play and everyone wants to share the memories of their wedding or celebrations with everyone else, it falls on us to try our hardest to get everyone their respective videos, pictures and general items. So we find ourselves, unfortunately, behind the 8 ball, working hard to get everyone their fair share of things and grateful for your patience. We are working dilligently and many times overnight to get everything hammered away and into your hands as soon as possible!
Taxicab Confessions - a Brooklyn Filipino wedding at Bubby's Pie Company
Bubby's is an expansive space with home cooking and amazing pies! As a regular attendee of their amazing brunch, I love the fact that the space has become a very popular wedding venue. With a loft area, it's overlooking the Brooklyn Bridge, a large dance floor and long bar, it has such character and is just perfection for any special event.
The only Filipino tradition not included this evening was the famous Money Dance but the full dance floor made the night fly by without it being noticed.
Guests were very creative with the Polaroid guestbook, taking it outside and around...

With homemade pies as dessert, J&J opted to cut a small personal cake
And the on site photo booth led to lots of frivolity
Salamat J&J for having us be witness to your celebration!
