Amanda and Ryan's Wedding

Another beautiful wedding on deck today! Amanda and Ryan were married in June wedding at St. Denis Church followed by their classic reception at Radisson Plaza-Warwick Hotel. Now, this was definitely a special one for us, as the bride is a cousin of our good friend Jason, from Synergetic Sound and Lighting! We knew this was going to be a great day with an amazing group of vendors! Amanda and her bridesmaids started their day at her parent's home and Meghan from Hair by Meghan did all of the ladies hair and Diane Heller did everyone's makeup. They then headed over to the church for their traditional Catholic ceremony. After they kissed and became husband and wife, the newlyweds and their bridal party headed into the city for photos at the Philadelphia Art Museum. Over at The Warwick, the ballroom was being prepped for the arrival of the guests. Synergetic Sound and Lighting uplit the ballroom in a hot pink, provided two plasma screen TV's that showed pictures of the couple, and projected the couple's monogram on to the dance floor. We created various reception signage to match their pink color scheme and we placed a single stem rose at each guests place setting. Carl Alan Florist created the classic bouquets and centerpieces, which put the perfect final touch on the ballroom! When it came time to get the party started, Synergetic Sounds, did an incredible job (as usual!) at getting the guests out onto the dancefloor for the entire evening and Video One Productions was on hand to capture all the fun! The delicious cake, created by Bredenbeck's Bakery, featured two circular tiers and two offset square tiers that had the couple's new monogram placed on it. When the guests weren't cutting the rug, they were enjoying a plentiful candy buffet or popping into the photobooth provided by Go Festive! A huge thank you to Jenn from Jennifer Childress Photography for sending these stunning images!!

Congratulations Amanda and Ryan! 

Emily and Bryan's Wedding

We hope you all had a great holiday and Happy New Year! We're getting back into the swing of things and will be posting 5 more of our weddings from 2012. First up is Emily and Bryan's June wedding in Delaware! Emily and her bridesmaids started their day at the Hilton Wilmington/Christiana with hair done by Meghan, of Hair by Meghan, and makeup done by Diana, of Lillian Taylor Cosmetics. Emily and Bryan chose to have a "First Look" before their ceremony on the grounds of their ceremony/reception site, Deerfield Golf and Country Club. To make their ceremony a little more personal, they had Bryan's stepfather officiate their vows! We created their ceremony programs, seating chart, place cards, table numbers and reception signage to match their navy and pink color scheme. The bouquets and floral arrangements created by Jen-Mor Florist matched the color scheme perfectly! They were bursting with white and pink peonies, white hydrangeas and touches of green to complete the look. The cake created by Liz Marden was also decorated with cascading pink peonies. The couple added another personal touch to their reception by displaying wedding pictures of their family members on their gift table. East Coast Event Group got the party started and kept guests on the dance floor all night long. When guests weren't dancing, they were enjoying the candy buffet or cigars rolled onsite by Cigar Vault and as a final surprise, guests were also able to enjoy Grotto's Pizza from a pizza truck- such a fun and memorable night! A big thank you to Joanne of Joanne Beecham Photography for these wonderful images!

Congratulations Emily and Bryan!
