Behind The Veil - Choosing Your Wedding Colors using Crayola Crayons?

One of the first questions you will be asked when planning your wedding will be "What are your colors?" This can be a daunting question, especially if this isn’t' your area of expertise. How does one go about choosing their colors?

This week we go back to our childhood and use a box of Crayola Crayons to find that perfect trio of colors for your big day. We will also be talking all about the "color of the year" just released by Pantone, which is Magenta!

To help us discuss, we welcome back a favorite guest: CeCe Todd

Self-proclaimed queen of pink & a one-woman party in a box, CeCe Todd is an award-winning and renowned floral designer and third-generation entrepreneur. Both entertaining and talented, CeCe’s style and attention to detail have allowed her to become one of America’s leading floral designers and industry leaders.

Behind The Veil - Cheers to The Holidays with Bottega Prosecco

You probably have seen Bottega's signature gold bottles, but goes into making that perfect glass of bubbly?  

This week we welcome back a guest that became one of our most watched shows at 20k+ views on YouTube alone, Carolyn Mariani.  

Carolyn is the Head of Business Development for Bottega S.p.A.  Y

After enjoying more than 20 years in the duty-free industry, working with luxury brands and specialty retailers around the world, 2020 provided me an opportunity to launch my own consulting business, PIVOT305 Consulting. The company’s mission is to use my experience in merchandising, marketing & purchasing to help companies with short- or long-term projects while they find their ‘new normal’.

After graduating from Arizona State University with a B.S. in Organizational Communication, I then launched my professional career in New York, which led to opportunities in London, Miami and now Fort Lauderdale. My global network connections and experiences allow me to provide extra benefits to my clients.

Most recently, Bottega S.p.A. hired me as their Brand Ambassador to help grow and develop their business in the Americas. Our first project was creating ‘white label’ wines for a restaurant developer on the east coast. We are also planning our participation in upcoming trade shows and select events, creating opportunities in new/untapped trade channels, conducting on-site product trainings and local market visits, all with a view to significantly increasing Bottega’s market share.

Behind The Veil - Holiday Etiquette

The holidays are fast approaching and there is a plethora of opportunities to step in it, so to speak.  Thanksgiving alone has a million landmines to avoid.  This is followed closely by the December holidays that finally come to end New Year’s Eve. 

This time presents a lot of opportunities for family to push buttons, that they took years to install, and they will be pushed.  So how do you prepare yourself?  What is considered proper and when is it ok to say, "no thank you"?

This week’s guests is Lizzie Post, the great granddaughter of the OG of Etiquette, Emily Post.  She is also Co-author of Emily Post’s Etiquette 20th edition as well as Higher Etiquette, A guide to the World of Cannabis, and Emily Post’s Wedding Etiquette 6th edition.

She and her cousin Daniel Post Senning are co-presidents of the Emily Post Institute as well as co-hosts of the weekly podcast, Awesome Etiquette, where they answer listener questions, and explore the topic of etiquette through the lens of consideration, respect, and honesty.

Lizzie is the Institute’s main writer, she also does speaking engagements across the country sharing consideration based advice on cannabis, wedding, business and general etiquette topics. She has worked as a spokesperson for companies including Marshalls, Bank of America, American Express Platinum, Air BnB, and Genentech. She has held columns with Women’s Running, Broccoli, Farmhouse and Good Housekeeping magazines as well as Houzz.com.

Lizzie offers a fresh, relatable, perspective with an engaging voice.  She delights in tackling what many think are taboo topics in etiquette, making her a popular source. Her interviews include NPR’s 1A and Here and Now, NBC’s The Today Show, Good Morning America, Katie, Fox & Friends, Live with Kelly and Michael, The Gayle King Show, The Wendy Williams Show, Slate, Vanity Fair, Time Magazine, The New York Times, New York Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, The Chicago Tribune, Harper’s Bazaar, Travel& Leisure, Glamour, Cosmopolitan, The Huffington Post and more

Behind The Veil: How Catering Sucked The Life Right Out Of Me!

This week we speak to Sudi (Rick) Karatas - the author of "How Catering Sucked The Life Right Out Of Me!" where we talk about the best and worst things that have happened at past events.  Many of us say we should write a book because no one would ever believe the crazy stuff that happens - and Sudi Karatas actually did.

With over 25 years of catering experience in both New York and California, the author shares the worst and the best of them. Mostly the worst. His stories include weddings (one with a runaway groom), a bar mitvah where O.J. Simpson was a guest, a $5 million birthday party for three- year- old twins, and an unforgettable gig on 9/11. You’ll get an inside peak at what goes on behind the scenes at all kinds of events, many with celebrity guests. The many nightmares and ‘flustercucks’ that Karatas survived are brought to life as well as stories involving past co-workers, one of whom now directs movies for Lifetime and another who is on the show The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.
