Got The Knack! Check out the fantastic write-up on our Wishing Well (which is changing guest books the world over) by in-the-know product hunter Stephanie Dickson!
She calls our Wishing Well “the ultimate” and suggests using it for everything from weddings and bridal parties to book launches and a way to collect business feedback. Now, there’s no excuse not to chic up your desk/coffee table/reception stand with one of our Wishing Wells.
To Stephanie: A fashionable thank you. Written on a pretty card, of course!
Reasons to Love Zinke Design Wishing Well . . .
May 27, 2008
1. You have waaaaaaay too many wishes for a list. 150 to be exact.
2. You have style, so should your guest book.
3. And speaking of guests, they’ll have a chic place to leave their mark, which doesn’t have to include a slide show.
4. Signed photo mats are soooooo 2003.
5. Post-its are ugly. Your wedding to-do list looks more inviting on bordered notes, tucked in the Wishing Well.
6. One of the four colorways perfectly matches your wedding colors, linens, or bridesmaid dresses – or all three.
7. If you’re “always the bridesmaid” you’re bound to have tons of advice and need a place for storing. (You probably have quite a few “stories” to share/remember/hold for ransom as well.)
8. The designer, Arin Zinke, has styled hundreds of weddings, each more chic than the last. She knows her stuff.
9. The copy-cat bride the next cubical over doesn’t have one. And face it, that means EVERYTHING.
Get eco-conscious on your Big Day with chic tips from Zinke Design
May 24, 2008Wed Without Waste: After the festivities, arrange for the left over food to be donated to a shelter, and have the flowers delivered to an area children’s hospital.
Wardrobe: Consider environment conscious designers like Stella McCartney and 3.1 Philip Lim when selecting your wedding wardrobe.
Lighting: Spend your Saturdays at the flea market, sifting for candelabras and candlesticks. Fill them with natural beeswax candles from Candle Bee Farm , a company who promotes natural beekeeping, aims to enhance the environment and supports organic horticultural efforts.
Go Paperless: If you’re considering going paperless and skipping traditional invitations to opt for an Evite , vow to not buy a how-to-throw-a-green-wedding paper book.
Honeymoon: Consider spending your honeymoon working to better the world. When making travel plans, research options for joining one of Earth Watch’s (www.earthwatch2.org) expeditions.
White Aisle (www.whiteaisle.com): Add a human element to your wedding: Reach out to those in need. Purchase silk wedding accessories from The White Aisle (www.whiteaisle.com) an organization devoted to vocational training to Cambodian girls trapped in brothels.
Music: Opt for an acoustic musician. A grand piano in the center of a garden wedding is lovely.
Go Vintage: Gift your bridesmaids with beautiful vintage brooches—try incorporating into the bridesmaids brunch invite. Vintage lace is a beautiful addition to any tablescape.

How Gatsby! A Black & White Ballroom
May 13, 2008For a long time black & white was the most requested color scheme I heard from clients, but the rush of color from the last few runway seasons was a nice departure. I think this inspiration board is a perfect beginning for a ballroom setting. Today’s board is a refreshing look at a classic palate inspired by Artikal Handcrafted Millinery & Lea C Millinery – how gorgeous!
