As the holiday season approaches, we’re delightedly getting into the spirit of giving back. As there’s nothing more empowering than being able to recognize disparities in our communities and being in a position to actively assist in eradicating them. As a result, Madison Gems and Hey There Beautiful Inc. collaborated to birth a charitable endeavor named We Feed NYC.

We Feed NYC is an undertaking motivated by feeding homeless residents in the New York City area, with sustenance, but not limited to provisions, empowerment, encouragement and upliftment. Our mission is to provide enrichment not only on holidays, but also sporadically throughout the year in an effort to nurture a sense of dependability.

Last week We Feed NYC hosted a Thanksgiving dinner / clothing drive in the Bushwick community of Brooklyn, NY, at a chic and versatile venue named The Living Gallery. Accordingly, Madison Gems and Hey There Beautiful Inc. energetically sought the assistance of sponsors, volunteers and donors to realize our vision. Thus, we received an outpour of support, as we utilized our social media platforms i.e. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Google+ to promote awareness of our venture.

Our wonderful and magnificent sponsors for We Feed NYC, were none other than Taylor Cares Inc., Memorable Memories Event Décor & Planning, B’Discovered Magazine, OMG! Sweet Jars By Beyond Sweets, Nathallia’s Catering & Events, Cakes & Sweet Treats by Erica, Jackson Designz, De L’or Cakery, Trinky Things, Coordinated To Perfection, EastGate Enterprises, Kaftans For Queens and The Rosedale Lion’s Club. Additionally, we were fortunate to have approximately 32 supporters, whom either prepared dishes, contributed beverages, made monetary donations, or gave their time. Likewise, we had a huge gathering of volunteers to serve our guests a magnificent Thanksgiving meal. Overall, our event was a huge success, as we were able to place joy and happiness on the hearts of our guests and volunteers.

Conclusively, giving back is immensely important. Therefore, no matter how busy we are, it is paramount that we set aside time for others. In view of that, they’re so many changes, that many of us would like to see transpire in our communities, however, no matter our circumstances, the most important asset we can give to our neighbors consistently is hope.

Earlier this year Madison Gems was gratefully fortunate to be a part of a fabulous Art Deco Styled Wedding photo shoot. It was held at the swanky 501 Union in Brooklyn, NY. This awesome shoot was beautifully curated by wedding coordinator Simone Vega of Coordinated To Perfection and Jessica Schmitt of Jessica Schmitt Photography; in addition, to a host of unrivaled first-class vendors. As a result, our shoot was honorably featured on MODWedding.

Our art deco styled shoot was the perfect combination of colors and details for a contemporary 1920’s wedding. In that fashion, dazzling hues of pink, black, white and gold really complimented each other. Likewise, the bride and bridesmaid wore unconventional garments and ornaments that mirrored a bit of vintage, a dash of modern and loads of glam.

Accordingly, Madison Gems provided jewels that captured a modern and luxurious feel. The bride showcased three jewelry looks: edgy, vintage and glam-luxe. While the bridesmaid harmoniously flaunted a chic, in-vogue guise. Together, they forged a look that was symmetrical and unparalleled, complimented by an outstanding décor. Withal, we hope our gallery of photos illuminates a bit of inspiration and that our concept is one that you’ll adopt freely.
