There is still plenty of snow on the outside but spring has sprung in By Emily B. Studio. We’ve got a fresh new tablescape, fun green ribbon display, and new products arriving throughout the coming weeks. Our new Baggu inventory is totally awesome, just sayin’! Swing on by and say hello…
We found Royal Rose Simple Syrups while on a scouting trip in New York City and we fell in love. It wasn’t just the product and their flawless branding, it was their story. Started one summer in a small Brooklyn kitchen, Royal Rose uses 100% fairly traded and organic ingredients. All syrups are made by hand, in small batches and they never ever add artificial flavoring or preservatives. Those are all fun and important facts, but once we tried the product we were even more impressed. We’ve now used Royal Rose in signature cocktails for weddings with upwards of 150 guests, added their Raspberry Simple Syrup to a Hendrick’s Gin and Prosecco cocktail during our grand opening, and personally enjoyed all the flavors in our very own kitchens.
Now Maine-based, Royal Rose just became USDA Certified Organic and we couldn’t be more proud to represent such a wonderful product filled with tons of flava flav and handcrafted love.
With all of that said, we’re excited to announce that their new Saffron syrup just arrived at the studio and is available for purchase.
Check out a couple amazing things this new flavor is capable of…
Saffron Glazed Carrots
4 large carrots, peeled and sliced into coins
1 tablespoon butter
1/3 cup water, stock, or orange juice
3 tablespoons Royal Rose Saffron Syrup
salt
black pepper
Heat the butter in a saucepan or skillet on medium-high heat. Add the carrots and roll them around in the butter for 2-3 minutes. Add the liquid and the Saffron Syrup and stir to combine. Then reduce the heat to medium; let cook for another 10 minutes or so, until most of the liquid has evaporated and the carrots are cooked through. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
The Building 18 Cocktail
2 1/2 oz. rye
1/2 oz. Royal Rose Saffron Syrup
1/2 oz. fresh lemon juice
9 drops Boker’s Bitters
Shake ingredients over ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass.

Royal Rose Hot Toddy
1/2 oz. Royal Rose Saffron Syrup
1 1/2 oz. brandy, or to taste
3 dashes Boker’s bitters
hot brewed peach herbal tea
Add the syrup and brandy to a mug. Fill the mug with hot tea, then add bitters. Garnish with lemon peel.

Samantha and I went to college together and she was always one of my favorite people to run into on campus, so when she reached out to have By Emily B. help with her wedding, I couldn’t have been more thrilled. We teamed up with Jennifer Frost of Chive Sustainable Event Design & Catering to make Sam’s carefully crafted vision come to life, and the most exciting part was that we got to do all the floral design. Sam’s bridal bouquet is one of my favorite things ever created in the By Emily B. studio…
The celebration was a dream come true , even for the vendors, so it was especially exciting that it was captured on film by the amazingly talented, Meghann Gregory. From Sam’s creative ideas to her adorable bridesmaids and handsome groom, the entire wedding was completely swoon-worthy, which is probably why Seacoast Weddings featured in their current issue and named it their number one seacoast wedding of 2012. We could not have been grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this remarkable day.
Many thanks to Ms. Chelsey (pictured with me here) for all her hard work on this event!
And a huge thank you to Seacoast Weddings for the gorgeous two page spread in their most recent issue…

The holidays at By Emily B. Studio were festive and busy; bustling with customers, gift-wrapping, event clients, and fun projects. Not to mention the wildly successful To Rove Jewelry Pop-Up Shop where Katherine Allen literally transformed a small corner of the shop into her very own jewelry studio. She turned out over 100 customer pieces of jewelry, all with individualized quotes, inspirational words, dates, initials, and names. We were overwhelmed by the sweet ideas people invented and gifted to their loved ones.
We even got the entire event and studio team together for a little photo shoot with Liesl Clark of Claris Photography. Overall, we’ve had an amazing, glitter-filled winter, and here are just a few snap shots of the people and products that contributed…

Our new year’s resolution (among others): to be better about updating the blog! xo.
This song never fails to make us smile, even on the gloomiest of November days, which today happens to be. And the video … I mean, who doesn’t love a good pillow fight?
Now that our 2012 wedding season is complete, we’re finally sitting down to reflect, get organized, and update the blog! Sarah and Stephen’s June 16th nuptials at ViewPoint Hotel in York, Maine, seemed an obvious place to start since they were the kick off to an amazing, love-filled summer. Together with Sperry Tents, Blush Imagery, Foster’s Clam Bake, Hamilton Gardens, and Men in Black (to name a few,) we put together one seriously stylish and fun-filled seaside event. But with a couple like Stephen and Sarah and the venue’s view of Maine’s Nubble Light, we really couldn’t lose…
