Sunday afternoon I attended the ballet with my daughter. We celebrated her birthday at Lincoln center with The New York City Ballet and the formidable George Balanchine. It was poetry in motion.

From a very young age, I was entranced by the beauty of dance, particularly ballet. For … Read More

Even though most brides marry in the spring, holidays, like Christmas, are an enchanting time of the year for wedding festivities. This celebratory season adds a special luster to the party.
