Love in Full Bloom: The Wedding of Elle Leonsis & Toby Helme - Washington Life Magazine
Tuesday, April 16, 2019The bride’s father played a memorable role, serenading the couple alongside his college roommate with a surprise rendition of “Banana Boat Song.” The true pièce de résistance – the Stanley Cup – was displayed during cocktail hour and the bride watched the man of her dreams pop a magnum bottle of champagne right into it while friends and family looked on.After hours of sipping champagne and drinking Guinness, there also needs to be … chili dogs. In true Washington fashion, the late night snack was provided by the legendary Ben’s Chili Bowl on U Street NW. “It was unreal,” Leonsis says, “seeing the older Brits try and love chili dogs for the first time. Such a great memory.” And that, perhaps, is a different sonnet for another day.NOTABLE GUESTS:José and Patricia Andrés, Rorbert Altman and Lynda Carter, Mark and Sally Ein, Don Graham and Amanda Bennett, Arthur and Hannah Weiland Guinness, Mark and Judy Lerner, John and Gina Carlson, The Right Honourable James Stourton, and Chris and Lorraine Wallace.DETAILSBride’s First Dress: Romona Keveza Second Dress: Elie Saab Wedding Planner: Arney Walker Caterer: Susan Gage Cake: Fleur and Flour Flowers: Victoria Clausen Music Coordinator: Elan Artists Linens: Fermoie DJ: Chris Styles Photographer: Aaron DelesieShare this:Related ... http://washingtonlife.com/2019/04/05/love-in-full-bloom-the-wedding-of-elle-leonsis-toby-helme/

A vision of beauty in Ridgeland: Wildflowers, whimsical sculptures and community spirit - Clarion Ledger
Monday, August 24, 2020Why showcase zinnias?The flowers pop with color, withstand summer heat and drought and bloom until frost kills them, said McKie, a horticulturist who with her husband, Maur, owns Green Oak Florist and Garden Center in Jackson and Ridgeland.She gives Ridgeland Mayor Gene McGee credit for buying into her Zinnias Fields Forever vision. “He introduced me to Keep Ridgeland Beautiful and it became quite a partnership,” she said.Keep Ridgeland Beautiful, the city of Ridgeland and the Ridgeland Chamber of Commerce still partner to make the zinnia field, which has won awards for innovation and beautification, a reality.Gertrude's Garden in Madison County: Love of flowers blossoms into businessThe City of Ridgeland Public Works Department prepares the strip of land along U.S. 51 and Keep Ridgeland Beautiful committee members cast the zinnia seed. Donations help foot the bill for the zinnia seed, which costs between $700 and $1,000, Richardson said. Landscaping projects such as the zinnia field and wildflower field not only lift spirits but add another dimension to the city of Ridgeland, Richardson said. “It shows how important beautification is to a city,” she said.A plus for bees, birds and butterfliesThe wildflower field in Ridgeland came about three years ago after Keep Mississippi Beautiful, working with the Mississippi State Extension Service and other partners, established the Wildflower Trails of Mississippi beautification project. Wildflowers not only add beauty but also support bees, birds and butterflies.“We were thrilled that Ridgeland wanted to continue the wildflower field,” said Sarah Kountouris, executive director of Keep Mississippi Beautiful. “One reason is that it’s beautiful. When people see beautiful things it’s an invitation to visit. It says, ‘Come in and see our city.’"Colony Bistro & Wine Bar: Opening a culmination of 13-year dream for ownerAnd, it helps the tourism dollar. “With COVID-19 we need everything we can to have a brighter perspective on life in general.
