You can't find a couple more in love than Andrew and Anna and their wedding on Saturday was as beautiful as they are inside and out. I've known Anna since we first met at the University of Delaware, so it was such a joy to be a part of her wedding day and make all of her hard work become a reality. Jill Kozar of <a href="http://upyourdo.com/">Up Your Do</a> and <a href="http://www.bekebeau.com/">Beke Beau</a> dolled the girls up in the morning before Anna got into her gown and Andrew saw her for the first time on the <a href="http://www.unionleague.org/">Union League</a> front steps. Though the original plan was to go around the city for photos, the decision to stay inside proved to be the better choice in the end as Anna, Andrew, and their bridal party got to explore the Union League and get photos in fun locations like the basement wine cellar. When it was time for the ceremony, Anna's cousin JP delivered a personal ceremony complete with Andrew reading to Anna in French. Then it was time to head upstairs for cocktail hour and the reception. The ballroom was decorated with large white centerpieces by <a href="http://www.robertsonsweddings.com/">Robertson's Flowers</a>, perfect for a winter wedding, and vintage pieces including a marquee from <a href="http://www.maggpievintagerentals.com/">Maggpie Vintage Rentals</a>. <a href="http://www.cto.com/cto-tribeca.html">CTO's Tribeca</a> had the guests dancing all night long and Anna even surprised Andrew by having the band learn his favorite Dropkick Murphys' song. Guests took a break from dancing to take a photo in the Oh Snap Photobooth by <a href="http://lindsaydocherty.com/">Lindsay Docherty Photography</a> who was there to capture the whole day as it unfolded. Thanks to Lindsay for this great sneak peek shot of Anna, Andrew, and their dogs, Jackson, and Seamus. -Caitlin</div>

A perfect fall day for Colette and Angelo's wedding in Philadelphia this past Saturday. Colette and her maids started the day at her parents home with hair and makeup by <a href="http://www.yourdayyourway10.com/">Your Day Your Way</a> before everyone slipped into their dresses. Colette and Angelo saw each other for the first time as Colette made her down the aisle of <a href="http://www.saintmonicaparish.net/">St. Monica Church</a>. They took their family photos at the church after the ceremony before heading out to their family's first established South Philadelphia Primo's store and then to City Hall for more bridal party photos. They then headed to <a href="http://www.cescaphe.com/tendenza">Tendenza</a> and enjoyed a delicious menu for cocktail hour and their signature cocktail that they named "Sunset in Mexico" created by Cescaphe Event Group. <a href="http://beautifulblooms.com/">Beautiful Blooms</a> lit up the ballroom with lilac sachet lighting, projected a custom monogram on the dance floor, while also providing the beautiful ivory rose bouquets and white calla lily centerpieces. Gus from A&A Celebrations had the dance floor packed all night. Pete from <a href="http://firstfloorfilms.typepad.com/">First Floor Films</a> and Jenn from <a href="http://www.jennchildress.com/">Jennifer Childress Photography</a> were on hand to capture all of the day's special moments. Thank you Jenn for sharing these teaser images with us! We can't wait to see the rest! Congratulations Colette and Angelo! -Amanda</div>

Staying true to their Indian heritage, Samata and Roshin started Saturday with a traditional Indian wedding ceremony at the <a href="http://www.hindutemplede.com/">Hindu Temple of Delaware.</a> After Roshin was paraded into the ceremony and Samata joined him in front of the beautiful mandap created by <a href="http://www.niralidecor.com/">Nirali Decor</a>, they had their ceremony on the stage in front of their family and friends. After the ceremony, guests enjoyed a luncheon at the temple before heading to <a href="http://www.deerfieldgolfclub.com/">Deerfield Country Club</a> later that evening for the reception. After taking photos in their wedding attire, Samata and Roshin changed into their reception clothes, a suit for Roshin and another beautiful sari for Samata. The reception room at Deerfield was decorated in hues of pinks and gold and Nirali also provided tall branch and floral centerpieces for the guests' tables. Guests were treated to a traditional Indian buffet by <a href="http://www.palaceofasiade.com/">Palace of Asia</a> followed by cake from <a href="http://dessertsbydana.com/">Desserts by Dana</a>.

Saturday was such an amazing day. It wasn't just because the day ran smoothly, or the vendor team was amazing, or the weather was perfect, or the details were spot on, it was also because Kristen and Michael were such a fun couple and we loved being a part of their wedding day. Proud to Plan has been "part of the family" since we helped plan Michael's brother <a href="http://proudtoplan.blogspot.com/2010/06/sarah-and-chriss-wedding.html">Chris' wedding</a>, and his sister <a href="http://proudtoplan.blogspot.com/2012/12/kate-and-andrews-wedding.html">Kate's wedding</a>, so we were excited to be back with this great family again. The day started with hair and makeup at <a href="http://luxelancaster.com/">Luxe Lancaster</a> before the girls headed over to the Firehouse at <a href="http://www.landisvalleymuseum.org/">Landis Valley Museum</a> to get dressed. Sean Gearhart from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/CharmCityPiper">Charm City Piper</a> played the bagpipes as guests entered the ceremony in the courtyard and as the bridal party walked down the aisle. After their self-uniting ceremony, complete with friends reading marriage advice, guests enjoyed lawn games during cocktail hour. They then entered the yellow barn for the reception catered by <a href="http://www.harveysbarbecue.com/">Harvey's Bar-B-Q</a> with music by Rick from <a href="http://www.tophatdj.net/">Top Hat Entertainment</a>. The barn was decorated with twinkle lights and rustic wooden box centerpieces and single blooms in vases from <a href="http://www.splintsanddaisies.com/">Splint's and Daisies</a> along with gold spray painted pumpkins, gourds, and pinecones made by the bride and groom. For dessert, <a href="http://www.fryingdutchmandonuts.com/">College Town Bakeries</a> set up a delicious display of five different cakes, homemade pumpkin roll, and cookies. The day was beautifully captured by the oh-so-talented Christina and Brian from <a href="http://www.shawphotoco.com/">Shaw Photography Co.</a> who were such a joy to work with. The pair made a six hour trek from down from Buffalo for the wedding and as you can see, these images are well worth it. Congratulations Kristen and Michael! -Caitlin</div>

A perfect fall day for Lauren and Mark's wedding in Macungie, PA! Lauren and her maids started the day at her parent's home with hair by <a href="http://www.truebeautymarks.com/">True Beauty Marks</a> and makeup by <a href="http://facetheoccasion.com/">Face the Occasion</a> before everyone slipped into their dresses. Lauren and Mark saw each other for the first time as Lauren made her way down the aisle of <a href="http://www.stjoescoopersburg.org/">St. Joseph's Church</a>. They took their family photos at the church after the ceremony before heading to <a href="http://www.brooksidecountryclub.org/">Brookside Country Club</a> for bridal party photos. The country club created a delicious menu for cocktail hour and the couple chose a fall themed signature cocktail that they named "Over the Moon"- everyone couldn't get enough of it! <a href="http://www.wesleyworks.com/">Wesley Works</a> up lit the ballroom in a warm amber and handled the music for the evening. The dance floor was PACKED all night long and everyone really enjoyed themselves. The bouquets and centerpieces were created by <a href="http://www.alliumfloraldesign.com/welcome.html">Allium Floral Design</a> and matched the simple and neutral color scheme perfectly. Jonathan McBride from <a href="http://www.alisonconklin.com/">Alison Conklin Photography</a> was on hand to capture all of the day's special moments and we can't wait to share his images with you all! For now, here are a few of our iPhone pictures that we took. Congratulations Lauren and Mark! -Lisa</div>

The girls started their day at <a href="http://www.salonbydominic.com/">Salon by Dominic</a> getting their hair and makeup done and then headed back to the bride's house to relax for a bit and finish getting ready. Katie and her family took some beautiful photos in her family's yard and then headed to <a href="http://www.stmaryoftheassumption.com/">St. Mary the Assumption Church</a> where Father Dillingham performed a beautiful and entertaining ceremony. <a href="https://www.barnyardphotography.com/">Barnyard Photography</a> was there to capture the day along with <a href="http://tagvisual.com/">TAG Visual Media</a>- I can't wait to see what they got!

Guests even enjoyed a traditional dance to Second Line, to honor the groom's family. We had such a wonderful time with Katie and Bobby, and are so glad we were able to be a part of their big day. We wish you guys all the best! -Becky</div>

Sunday was another beautiful day for a wedding! Alisa started her day with her bridesmaids and the ladies from <a href="http://www.salondelaware.com/">Gloss Salon</a> doing hair and makeup. Once they were ready, they headed to Rockwood Park for the couple's first look and bridal party and family photos. When pictures were complete, everyone headed over to <a href="http://akse.org/">Adas Kodesch Shel Emeth</a> for the ceremony and reception. Before the ceremony, Alisa, Jacob, and their families gathered for the Ketubah signing, and then the women went to one room for the Bedeken and the men went to another for the Tisch. Jacob was danced out to greet Alisa traditionally, and cover her face with a veil. There was much rejoicing and some special prayers, and then it was time for their traditional Jewish ceremony. Guests kicked off the party with an extended cocktail hour with food created by <a href="http://boscovsalacartecatering.com/">Boscov's Catering</a> and then started the dancing portion of the night by watching the newlyweds first dance followed by a 20+ minute Hora! Matt and Laurie of <a href="http://www.werthphotography.com/">Werth Photography</a> and the guys from <a href="http://merryweatherfilms.com/">Merryweather Films</a> were on hand to capture the day and DJ Steve of <a href="http://www.vipdjentertainment.com/">VIP DJ Entertainment</a> kept the party going all night.

When Corey and Nick were planning their wedding for last January, they wanted it to look like a winter wonderland and they got just that! Snow began to fall the morning of the wedding leaving a few inches of fresh snow on the ground for their photos. Corey and her bridesmaids started the day with hair and makeup before getting dressed. The bridesmaids wore black chiffon dresses with a gray sash and the Maid of Honor wore a gray dress with a black sash to stand out! Corey's satin wedding gown featured a lace back and she finished off her look with a cape! They were married in the galleries of the Museum in front of their closest friends and family in a personal ceremony. The couple took all of their photos before their ceremony so that they were able to join their guests for a delicious cocktail hour. Meanwhile, we were prepping the reception space. Beautiful white trees were placed near the doors of the reception space so that guests felt like they were outside in the snow and the tables were topped with branch arrangements with hanging Christmas tree ornaments that served as one of the favors. Guests were also treated to Cinderella candle favors, hot cocoa mix, and a bag of M&M's. Another fun detail from their wedding was the dueling groom's cakes! One with the Denver Broncos logo and the other with the Baltimore Ravens logo- the couple's favorite teams! Everyone let loose after dinner and danced the night away. </div>

Thank goodness for the rain's departure on Saturday afternoon for Greg and Andrea's wedding! The couple started their day at the <a href="http://www.westinmountlaurel.com/">Westin Mount Laurel</a>. <a href="http://www.salondelaware.com/">Gloss Salon</a> was on hand to pamper the girls with hair and makeup. After hair and makeup was complete, the bride put on her beautiful dress, complete with pieces of Greg's mother's wedding dress sewn onto her dress. She also made herself a clutch using material from her mom's wedding gown! After everyone was dressed and ready, we headed to <a href="http://www.stthomasmorenj.org/">St. Thomas More Roman Catholic Church</a> where Father Joyce led the ceremony. They were announced husband and wife and then headed out for some great photos with <a href="http://www.studioknj.com/">Studio K Photography</a>. Guests were so excited to see the new Mr. and Mrs. and showed their excitement by dancing all night long with the help of <a href="http://illusionsdjs.com/">Illusions DJ</a>. The ballroom was decorated with beautiful, tall white orchids by <a href="http://www.leighflorist.com/">Leigh Florist</a>, and we can't forget the yummy cake by <a href="http://www.dianespatisserie.com/">Diane's La Patisserie</a>! Overall the day was simply beautiful and included so many personal touches from the bride and groom. Congratulations Greg and Andrea! -Annemarie</div>

Cate and Keith were married on Sunday with their closest friends and family in attendance, and even though it was a small guest list, it was a HUGE event and one of the most fun and beautiful that we've ever been a part of! Their photographer, <a href="http://www.jennchildress.com/">Jennifer Childress</a>, recommended our services to the couple when they were considering hosting a wedding in a barn on their property. The minute I got onsite and saw the space and met the couple, I knew it was a perfect match! Cate's a big Pinterest fan and wanted the wedding day to show off all the fun details she had been compiling on her wedding boards. We went with a rustic theme, complete with lots of burlap, lace, candlelight, vintage touches, great food, and organic floral designs. Our friends from <a href="http://www.starrevents.com/">Starr Events</a> put together a delicious menu consisting of an amazing raw bar, seasonal salad, yummy entrees, and a dessert display of pies, cakes, and even a Coldstone Creamery sundae bar! Then, the AMAZING guys from <a href="http://www.synergeticsounds.com/">Synergetic Sound and Lighting</a> draped the barn in fabric and string lights to create an unbelievable look! Our go-to gang for all vintage accessories, <a href="http://www.maggpievintagerentals.com/">Maggpie Vintage Rentals</a>, helped us select furniture and a bar for our vintage lounge, which looked beyond perfect in the space. <a href="https://www.partyrentalltd.com/">Party Rental</a>'s farm and picnic tables were the perfect foundation for gorgeous floral design by <a href="http://www.missfancyplantsnyc.com/">Miss Fancy Plants</a>, and we brought in a ton of rental items to fill in the centerpieces and decor. An intimate lakeside ceremony was conducted by Judge John Murray, and then following dinner, we were treated to a spectacular fireworks display, courtesy of the couple! Once the fireworks ended, the whole party moved into their tavern to cheer on the Eagles on their shut-out against the NY Giants! It was an unforgettable event with fantastic vendors and an awesome couple and I'm so honored we were a part of it. Congrats Cate and Keith! -Erin</div>

Sunday was a wonderful day for Sara and Jared's wedding! Sara and her closest ladies started their day in a suite at the Omni Hotel with hair and makeup done by the staff at the hotel's salon. In between getting their hair and makeup they relaxed and enjoyed a catered breakfast. Sara then headed over to Hotel Monaco to get into her stunning lace gown. She wore a bolero during the ceremony and cocktail hour and then took it off for the reception- it was beautiful! Ron, from <a href="http://faithwest.com/">Faith West Photography</a>, was on hand to capture their first look and the 2nd Bank Building and then headed out into the gardens for photos with their bridal party, while Damon, also from Faith West, captured all of the fun they had on video! Everyone then headed to the <a href="http://www.nmajh.org/">National Museum of American Jewish History</a> for the ketubah signing and then the ceremony. Their ceremony was held on the 5th floor of the museum and once the coupled exited the space, we escorted guests down to the concourse for a delicious cocktail hour. The dinner and dancing portion of the evening was held back up on the 5th floor and was filled with lovely and touching speeches from the couple's parents and family. Tables were topped with pretty florals done by <a href="https://www.ngflorist.com/">Nature's Gallery Florist</a>. When it was time to kick the party into high gear, the <a href="http://www.kenumusic.com/">Ken Ulansey Band</a> turned up the tempo of songs and got the guests out onto the dance floor. It was a perfect day from start to finish and we were so happy to be there to help! Mazel Tov Sara and Jared! -Lisa</div>

The rain cleared just in time for Laura and Emil to tie the knot Saturday in a rustic chic wedding. The day started with a ceremony at <a href="http://www.saintsaj.org/">Saints Agatha and James Church</a> in West Philly and ended at the <a href="http://www.fairmountparkconservancy.org/project/EventsattheHorticultureCenter.php">Horticulture Center</a> in Philadelphia's Fairmount Park. Their wedding was a blend of Laura's Panamanian heritage and Emil's Italian heritage and hosted guests from both countries and over 16 different states. <a href="http://www.theresafloral.com/">Theresa Floral Design</a> decorated the spaces with lots of vintage bud vases and antique lanterns and the tables had beautiful wood table numbers that the couple rented from us. <a href="http://www.starrevents.com/">Starr Events</a> created a lavish spread of meats and cheeses, short ribs, salmon, and several mini desserts to choose from. The ombre cake was created by <a href="http://www.bredenbecks.com/">Bredenbeck's Bakery</a>. <a href="http://www.eventionsproductions.com/">Eventions Productions</a> lit up the dance floor with market lights and guests danced all night to the music from <a href="http://www.elanartists.com/rhythm_collective/">Elan Artists- Rhythm Collective</a>. At the end of the night, everyone headed back to the hotel for an afterparty! Jen Woodruff from <a href="http://www.jenwoodruff.com/">JW Studio</a> captured great shots throughout the day and we can't wait to see them, but for now, here are a few of our snapshots. -Caitlin</div>

The rain faded away and the sun came out for Tara and Sean's special day. The girls started the day at <a href="http://www.novellosalon.com/index.php">Novello Salon</a> for hair and makeup- everyone looked beautiful! They then headed back to Tara's parents home to eat and relax a bit before getting into their dresses. Once everyone was dressed, they headed over to <a href="http://www.winterthur.org/">Winterthur Museum</a> for Tara and Sean to share their first look. The day was captured beautifully by <a href="http://www.plotkinphotography.com/">Joel Plotkin Photography</a>- there are so many beautiful places to take photos on the grounds at Winterthur. <a href="http://www.ebetalent.com/p/imagine/">EBE's Imagine</a> provided the music for the ceremony and cocktail hour and they kept everyone on the dance floor for the reception. They kept the party going and even extended the party by a half hour! Everyone enjoyed their wonderful meal prepared by <a href="http://www.restaurantassociates.com/">Restaurant Associates </a>and topped off with a delicious 5 tier cake by <a href="http://themastersbaker.com/">The Master's Baker</a>. Guests were treated to a midnight snack of cider donuts and pretzels and were able to grab some candy from the candy buffet.

Leigh and Ian were married on a brisk day in early April of this year and it was a super special one for us! I've known Leigh for a while now as she is one of my sister's closest friends and Leigh is also best friends with our very own coordinator, Amanda, who was a bridesmaid. The lovely ladies started their day with hair and makeup at the hotel before heading over to the country club to get dressed. The bridesmaids wore gray dresses in their style of choice and Leigh's sister and Maid of Honor, wore a long dress to stand out a bit. Their yellow and white bouquets were a perfect fit for the yellow and gray color scheme. Leigh wore a beautiful strapless gown with a lace bolero and belt and finished off her bridal look with a birdcage veil- she looked stunning! Leigh and Ian had an intimate first look in the garden of the country club and then their bridal party joined in for pictures. Their ceremony was filled with a lot of personal touches, tears, and laughter. After breaking the glass and exiting the ceremony to a lot of clapping and cheering, the couple joined their guests for a delicious cocktail hour while we got to work on flipping the ballroom over for the reception. Tables were topped with low arrangements that featured the bridesmaids bouquets and tall arrangements that had white hydrangea, green leaves, and curly willow that was spray painted gray! The cake was a ruffled ombre yellow to dark gray design topped with Leigh's mother's cake topper. When guests weren't dancing to the great tunes from the band, they were having a blast in the photobooth. It was a wonderful day for a wonderful couple!</div>

Sarah and Marc had a beautiful, personal wedding at the <a href="http://www.yellowhouseofwillowdale.com/">Yellow House of Willowdale</a>. The weather kept us on our toes, but didn't stop us. The girls started the day early with hair and makeup by <a href="http://www.salondelaware.com/">Gloss Salon</a>. After a leisurely morning of getting ready in their personalized robes, the girls got into their navy dresses of their own choosing and Sarah stepped into a beautiful lace gown. She traded her ivory wedges for navy rainboots and she and Marc shared their first look in the barn- complete with umbrellas- which was captured beautifully by <a href="http://www.artfuliphotography.com/">Artful I Photography</a>. Their ceremony was performed by Marc's uncle- it was sweet, personal, and intimate. Sarah's dad made the arch that the couple was married under and it was beautifully decorated by Sarah's aunts with hanging mason jars. Guests enjoyed the music from <a href="http://www.eastcoastentertainment.com/artist/blue-label">Blue Label</a> and packed the dance floor all night long. The delicious menu was created by Michael and his staff at <a href="http://www.triplefreshcatering.net/">Triple Fresh</a> and guests were treated to a midnight snack from <a href="http://www.mcglynnspub.com/ordereze/default.aspx">Marc's family's food truck</a>. It was a wonderful day filled with a ton of love and laughter. Sarah and Marc, we wish you all of the best and are so thankful we were able to witness your special day. -Becky</div>

In January, Ashley and Ben were married in front of their closest friends and family in a traditional Jehovah's Witness wedding ceremony. Before they were married they prepped for the day at the hotel with their bridal party. The bridesmaids wore red dresses in their choice of style to match the wedding's red, black, white, and gold color scheme. The maid of honor wore a rhinestone brooch that added a little detail to her dress to make her stand out! Ashley's gorgeous wedding gown featured a beaded bodice and full tulle skirt. She finished her look with a chic bun and crystal headband. Everything was sparkling on Ashley down to her rhinestone eyelashes- she looked amazing and Ben was speechless when he saw her make her way down the aisle! After they recessed down the aisle, they headed out for some photos before joining their guests for cocktail hour. The tables in the ballroom were topped with submerged roses with a floating candle and placed on a gold charger. Once inside of the ballroom, guests enjoyed a delicious dinner before heading out to the dance floor for a night of dancing! Guests were raving about the music and kept the dance floor packed all night long. When they weren't dancing, they were enjoying a fun chocolate fountain that was a hit with guests. It was a great day followed by an even better party!</div>

Lindsey and Brendan had a wonderful wedding on Saturday! It all started with hair by <a href="http://www.bella-angel.com/">Bella Angel</a> and makeup by <a href="http://www.cheekadee.com/">Cheekadee</a>- the girls looked gorgeous! Then, our photographers Kristen and Nic from <a href="http://www.hudsonnicholsphotography.com/">Hudson-Nichols Photography</a> and Darrell and Deanna from <a href="http://aubertfilms.com/weddingfilms/">Aubert Films</a> arrived to capture the festivities as they unfolded. The girls dressed in their blush chiffon gowns, then got Lindsey buttoned up in her gorgeous lace wedding dress. We met the guys at <a href="http://www.oldstmary.com/">Old St. Mary's Church</a> and prepped them for the ceremony. When Lindsey walked down the aisle to Brendan, the love in the room was palpable- it was awesome! <a href="http://rittenhousestrings.com/">Rittenhouse Strings</a> played beautiful music to accompany the unique ceremony by Father Paul, and we followed it all with a pink rose petal toss! The gang went off for photos in the city, while we put the finishing touches on the reception at the <a href="http://www.philacricket.com/">Philadelphia Cricket Club</a>. The floral decor by <a href="http://www.petahbashano.com/">Petah Bashano</a> was a stunning mix of blush and gold, shabby chic, with lots of candlelight, lace, and ivy! The room looked beyond amazing. Once the guests enjoyed yummy cocktails and had photos taken by <a href="https://www.finestbooth.com/">Wilmington Photobooth</a>, then danced the night away to the sounds of the <a href="http://www.vincentjamesband.com/">Vincent James Band</a>. All in all, the day was a dream and we were so happy to be a part of it! Congratulations to our couple, Lindsey and Brendan! -Erin</div>

Brittany and Sean's wedding day started at the beautiful <a href="http://www.visagevisage.com/">Visage a Visage Salon</a> at the mansion where Brittany and her girls had hair and makeup done. After putting on her gown, Brittany was off to <a href="http://www.riverdalemanor.com/">Riverdale Manor</a> to meet Sean for their first look under the big oak tree. Just as they saw each other for the first time, rain clouds came over Riverdale and drops started to fall. Sean held an umbrella over them as they walked back up to the house to get ready for the ceremony. The rain clouds didn't keep Sean and Brittany from having an outdoor ceremony under the lit up pergola at the Manor. <a href="http://www.thymeseasons.com/">Thyme and Season's Catering</a> created a delicious menu and <a href="http://www.petalswithstyle.com/">Petals with Style</a> decorated the reception space. After dinner, <a href="http://www.freezentertainment.com/">DJ Freez</a>, opened the dance floor and photo booth and guests had fun with all the extra props Brittany and Sean brought. They cut their cake created by <a href="http://www.oregondairy.com/">Oregon Dairy Farms</a> and guests had the choice of four different cake flavors and enjoyed a crepe station with tons of toppings! At the end of the night, Brittany and Sean had a VIP sparkler sendoff and Tiffany from <a href="http://atlasweddingphotography.com/">Atlas Photography</a> and Larissa and Jeff from <a href="http://www.cinemafour40.com/">Cinema Four40</a> were there to capture it and all the special moments from the day. Here a couple of sneak peeks from Tiffany- we can't wait to see the rest! And the videographers even created a teaser film which you can see <a href="http://www.cinemafour40.com/sean-brittany-coming-soon-lancaster-pa-wedding-films/">here</a>! -Caitlin</div>

Meredith and Dave's wedding this past January was our first of 2014 and what a gorgeous day they had! Prep for the day began in the morning at Hotel Monaco where Meredith and her bridesmaids were pampered and spent the morning relaxing. While Dave spent the morning getting ready at the home with his groomsmen. Meredith asked her bridesmaids to choose a black dress in their own choice of style which looked great with their wildflower bouquets. The bride's gown was a stunning 3/4 length sleeve lace gown that Meredith finished off with a simple veil and cute red shoes- she looked incredible! The couple chose to have a first look and it was so romantic and they were so happy to see each other. After a few photos it was time to make things official! The couple's personal and touching ceremony was officiated by a Reverend that had also married several of the bride's family members, including the bride's parents! After recessing down the aisle and getting ready to head over to cocktail hour, Dave asked Meredith to share in some alone time and the couple walked over to the reception by themselves. Over at The Down Town Club, tables were topped with different groups of flowers that featured curly willow, branches, and green and dark pink flowers. The table numbers were a floral design placed in gold frames to match the gold vessels that contained the centerpieces. Guests favors were chocolate truffles and were placed at each place setting to add to the decor of the room. As guests entered the ballroom, you could really start to feel the love in the room and see how happy all of the guests were for the newlyweds! Everyone packed onto the dance floor and danced the night away and right after the bouquet toss, the couple left the party to head back to the hotel on their own. Such a wonderful wedding from start to finish! </div>

Even though there were periodic showers on Saturday, Lindsay and Luke had the fun filled, elegant wedding they had both imagined! The girls started out at <a href="http://www.monaco-philadelphia.com/">Philadelphia's Hotel Monaco</a> with hair stylist Dominique from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Ebauche-En-Vogue-Hair-Salon/104258089642060">Ebauche Salon</a> and makeup by <a href="http://www.robinlynette.com/">Robin Lynette</a>, and they made the bride and the bridesmaids look stunning! The sweetest ceremony was held at <a href="http://www.tmcphila.org/">Trinity Memorial Church</a> and officiated by Reverend Charles Quann, who has known Lindsay since she was young. Afterwards, the couple and their bridal party were escorted around the city by <a href="http://cescaphetrolley.com/">Cescaphe Trolley</a> to take some amazing pictures with Shari from <a href="http://www.sharideangelo.com/">Shari DeAngelo Photography</a>, while <a href="http://www.befilmsweddingcinema.com/">Be Films</a> captured all of the fun! They joined their guests for a delicious cocktail hour at <a href="http://www.cescaphe.com/down-town-club">The Down Town Club</a> and enjoyed the incredible panoramic views of Old City. The ballroom looked incredible thanks to the floral designs of <a href="http://www.rhoadsgarden.com/">The Rhoads Garden</a> and lighting provided by <a href="http://beautifulblooms.com/">Beautiful Blooms</a>. <a href="http://www.cto.com/cto-tribeca.html">CTO's Tribeca</a> had all of the guests up on their feet dancing and after the couple cut their wedding cake, the band started singing happy birthday to Lindsay's father! Another great surprise was the groom's cake that Lindsay gave Luke. It was created by <a href="http://www.bredenbecks.com/">Bredenbeck's Bakery</a> and was fashioned after a boxing ring! Such a wonderful night! -Amanda</div>

The final week leading up to your wedding can be one of the most exciting weeks of your life...and also one of the most stressful. Throughout the planning process, our goal is to try to ensure that everything is taken care of before the week of the wedding so our couples can enjoy spending time with visiting friends and family. But, there are always last minute items that need to be done including packing everything for your wedding day. Here is your rundown on what to do the week before your wedding and what to pack the day of. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Confirm Your Wedding Vendors</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you hire Proud to Plan, we take care of this for you. The Monday before your wedding, we contact all of your wedding vendors to confirm all of the details we have finalized and also to confirm their arrival time and that they have our contact information, should any issues arise. It's a great way to get on the same page with all of your wedding vendors and to make sure nothing falls through the cracks. </div>

<b>Finalize Your Inventory</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I am sure a large corner of your living or dining room has started to pile high with everything wedding related. The week of the wedding is the time to go through it all and make a list of where and how everything is getting to where it needs to be. This includes all your decor and wedding essentials like your guestbook, toasting flutes, table numbers, signage, framed photos, etc. Typically you are able to drop most of these items off at the venue up to a day or two before, but some items you may need to bring the day of. </div>

<b>Pamper Yourself</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The week of your wedding is the time to pamper yourself. Get your nails done so they look their best, tweeze or get your eyebrows waxed, schedule a massage to relax you for the big day and overall, just spoil yourself. Now is the time to do it. And make sure to bring some of your girlfriends along for the fun!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Wedding Essentials</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Marriage License</li>
<li>Wedding Rings</li>
<li>Bride and Groom's Vows</li>
<li>Speeches and Readings for Ceremony</li>
<li>Invitation Suite (save the date, rehearsal dinner invite, shower invites, and the wedding invite, so your photographer can document them)</li>
<li>Final Vendor Payments (if you have any final payments to vendors)</li>
<li>Gratuity Envelopes (tips for any of the appropriate wedding vendors)</li>
<li>Extra Cash (in case you received excellent additional service)</li>
<li>Final Inventory Items (any items that could not be delivered to the venue)</li>
</ul>
<div>
<b>For the Bride</b></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Bride's Button Down Shirt (to make getting ready easier)</li>
<li>Bride's Dress</li>
<li>Bride's Veil</li>
<li>Bride's Undergarments and Garter</li>
<li>Bride's Jewelry</li>
<li>Bride's Purse</li>

<li>Groom's Toiletries</li>
</ul>
<div>
<b>Pack For Your Honeymoon</b></div>
</div>
<div>
If you are leaving for your honeymoon right after the wedding, you will also need to handle the packing before your wedding day. Remember that most of your out of town guests will stay around the day after your wedding and will want to spend time with you before heading home, so you may not have time to pack after you make it official. Pack before so you feel prepared and not rushed after the wedding. </div>

Caitlin and Rishi had picture perfect weather for their <a href="http://fairmountparkconservancy.org/project/EventsattheHorticultureCenter.php">Horticulture Center</a> wedding this past Saturday. The bride got ready with her mom at <a href="http://www.rittenhousehotel.com/">The Rittenhouse Hotel</a> and stylists from <a href="http://adolfbiecker.com/">Adolf Biecker Salon</a> were on hand for hair and makeup. Caitlin looked stunning in her Reem Acra gown and Rishi was handsome in his navy suit. Steve and Sara of <a href="http://www.langdonphotography.com/index2.php#!/HOME">Langdon Photography</a> were there to capture the day and <a href="http://www.ebetalent.com/">EBE Dreamtime</a> kept the party going.

The ceremony and reception space were beautifully decorated by <a href="http://beautifulblooms.com/">Beautiful Blooms</a> and enhanced with lighting by <a href="http://www.eventionsproductions.com/">Eventions</a>. The couple also hired performance artists, <a href="http://www.thebumbys.com/index.html/">The Bumby's</a>, to entertain their guests- they were a huge hit with everyone!

Besides helping our clients plan their weddings and coordinate everything the day of, we like to think of ourselves as our clients' own personal superman. We often find ourselves "saving the day" by reaching for our wedding day emergency kit (or our E-Kit, as we commonly refer to it), a large toolkit complete with a never-ending list of wedding day essentials. From stain remover to safety pins, we come fully prepared to tackle any issue that may arise on your wedding day. Below are just a few scenarios we find ourselves in on wedding days and what we grab for in our emergency kit to help save the day!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Scenario: </b>One of the guests pops an appetizer in their mouth and only after the fact, realizes that it included something they were allergic to. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>What's in Our E-Kit: </b>If it's a mild allergy, we have Benadryl on hand for a quick fix, but if things get serious, we also carry an Epi-Pen. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Scenario:</b> Before the bridesmaids walk out of the hotel room and head downstairs for photos, their black dresses have collected lint and the silk fabric is causing a static party under the dress. Not to mention their strapless dress wont' stay up. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>What's in Our E-Kit:</b> Don't worry, we have lint rollers and static guard ready to go and have a full stash of safety pins and fashion tape to hold their dresses up. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>What's in Our E-Kit:</b> We reach for our Tide To Go Pen, Shout Wipes, and other stain removers to take care of that stain fast. If the stain doesn't come out, we rub white chalk on her dress to help blend in and cover up the stain. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Scenario: </b>The bride is admittedly a crier and so is her mother. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>What's in Our E-Kit: </b>We are stocked with tissues and will always have them on hand throughout the day for the first look, the ceremony, and at the reception during all the great toasts and speeches where there won't be a dry eye in the house. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>What's in Our E-Kit: </b>The ultimate life saver, granola bars, are stocked in our E-Kit. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>What's in Our E-Kit:</b> Our hair products include all the basics like bobby pins, hairspray, a brush, comb, and mirror so we can freshen up their hair before they walk down the aisle. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>What's in Our E-Kit:</b> Our brides may need a little suncreen, a fresh coat of deodorant, and even some oil absorbing sheets to blot their face. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Scenario: </b>As we start getting the outdoor ceremony space set-up, the wind starts picking up and the aisle runner, aisle markers, and other decor just aren't staying put. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>What's in Our E-Kit:</b> We have a full stock of every kind of tape, adhesive putty, ribbon, glue dots, and more. </div>

<b>Scenario: </b>The best man was given the task of taking care of the rings. But, when moving from the hotel to the church, the best man forgot to bring them!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>What's in Our E-Kit: </b>We always keep two fake rings on hand just in case! No one will be able to see the rings during the ceremony, and they will never know! These also come in handy for the ring bearer's pillow instead of leaving a 3 year old ring bearer in charge of the real rings!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Scenario:</b> While setting up the reception room, we need a little something on the cake table and along the bars, and your bar signage just won't stand up straight. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>What's in Our E-Kit:</b> Well it's not technically in our E-Kit, but we always have them with us: clear vases for the bride and bridesmaids bouquets so we can use them to decorate the reception room along with easels when a sign needs a little more support. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Scenario:</b> With over 200 votive candles and another 50 large candles throughout the room, it may take a full half hour to light all of the candles. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>What's in Our E-Kit: </b>We always have a full stock of long lighters to make lighting candles a quick and easy. And if one of the votive candle holders is missing the candle, we have some backups. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>What's in Our E-Kit:</b> Don't worry, we're behind you ready with a pack of wet wipes, so we can get you cleaned up and back on the dance floor. We also carry an extra cake knife set, if the couple hasn't brought their own or the venue isn't providing one. </div>

The girls met in the morning at <a href="http://www.thebellmoor.com/">Bellmoor Inn</a> in Rehoboth Beach, DE for hair by <a href="http://www.bellamiahairboutique.com/">Bella Mia Hair Boutique</a> and makeup by <a href="http://www.makeupandlove.com/">Make-Up and Love</a> and then headed off to the ceremony. Though Mother Nature was being a bit indecisive, the wedding took place outside along the bay at <a href="https://www.rehobothbeachcc.com/">Rehoboth Beach Country Club</a> under just a little mist. Tracy from <a href="http://www.bethesdaflorist.com/">Bethesda Florist</a> pulled out all the stops while decorating the ceremony and reception space. Then while guests were enjoying cocktail hour on the balcony, the father of the groom, Tony, scheduled a plane to fly by carrying a banner wishing Liz and Michael congratulations. It was a complete surprise to the newlyweds and all of their guests! After enjoying dinner the <a href="http://www.dougsegree.com/">Doug Segree Band</a> invited guests onto the dance floor for the rest of the night, only to take a short break to enjoy the cake made by family friend <a href="http://bestchefsamerica.com/chef/dru-tevis/">Dru Tevis</a>. At the end of the night, guests jumped on the shuttles by <a href="http://www.jollytrolley.com/">Jolly Trolley</a> and headed to the after party at the Greene Turtle on the boardwalk. We can't wait to see the photos from the couple's photographer, <a href="http://www.michaelbonfigli.com/">Michael Bonfigli</a>, but until then, here are a few we got on our phones! Congratulations Liz and Michael! -Caitlin<br />

Besides the sweetness of the occasion (your marriage!) the actual sweetness is the dessert! Your wedding cake and dessert table decor is a great way to continue your wedding theme and add a unique touch to your special day. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The cake can be showcased individually on its own table for a more traditional feel. Votive candles are a great way to highlight this and add romance to this simple and elegant cake table. </div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

</tbody></table>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A cake stand is also a beautiful feature to add dimension to the table. Especially if you have a classic three tiered cake, the stand offers additional height. </div>

Another great addition to a single display cake table is the bridesmaids' bouquets like our bride and groom, Kate and Bryan did!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To combine your cake table and dessert table also offers additional decor. Offering an array of sweets on one table creates a plethora of options for your guests. </div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

</tbody></table>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Adding family mementos to your cake or dessert table is a great way to be unique and personal as a couple. You can use images from your parents' and grandparents' weddings, baby pictures of you and your spouse, or pictures of your pet!</div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Utilizing a different style table also adds an especially unique feel. Consider a vintage dresser or a tea cart. </div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KPPqnmSfwR8/U9-PrUeAm2I/AAAAAAAAVQw/hN4x7RjYDhM/s1600/Vintage+Chic+cake.jpg" height="400" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="292" /></td></tr>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Your new monogram or your last initial are also a simple and great touch to a dessert table!</div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-B6vxl5waaTQ/U9-PuNG4pFI/AAAAAAAAVQ4/QLoaSmPTqfI/s1600/Table+letters.jpg" height="400" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="400" /></td></tr>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Dessert and cake tables are a great place to be as simple or elaborate as you wish to be. The smallest details can make all the difference, and a decorated dessert display will make your special day even sweeter.</div>

Everyone had big elaborate plans for their dream wedding day, however, all those details can add up from a financial standpoint. Here's our advice on budgeting for your wedding and ensuring you execute your big event without going broke. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Setting Your Total Budget</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ol>
<li><b>Discuss who will be contributing</b>- Have either of your parents' offered to help? Will you and your fiance be splitting the tab? Make sure you have an open conversation with your fiance and your families, and be clear on amounts to be contributed. Remember that money from family sometimes comes with strings attached- parents can invite their friends or feel entitled to choose your wedding dress, for example. Make sure you emphasize that it is <i>your </i>wedding and that while you appreciate their financial contributions, you would like to have final say in all decisions. Setting expectations early on can avoid disagreement and heartache later.</li>
<li><b>Decide on total amount</b>- Once you have an idea of who will be contributing and how much you and your fiance are able to spend, you can develop a total budget. Total wedding budgets can vary tremendously based on location, number of guests, and bride & groom lifestyles. Some couples can execute their dream wedding with only a few thousand dollars and others spend hundreds of thousands of dollars. The last thing you want to be doing right after you get married is digging yourself out of debt, so remember to only spend what you feel comfortable you can afford and pay off. </li>
</ol>
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.weddingwire.com/wedding-timeline/just-engaged/set-your-wedding-budgets.html">Source</a></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Allocating Budget by Category</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ol>
<li><b>Draft your guest list</b>- Since many costs are dependent on the number of attendees, such as food/beverage costs and number of centerpieces, it is important to have an idea of how many people you plan to invite. </li>
<li><b>Research vendors and get estimates</b>- Getting estimates for what you are looking for in your local area is critical. You may not have a realistic idea of the average cost of a photographer or flowers until you ask around. </li>
<li><b>Compile estimates to form your detailed budget</b>- It is best practice to get several estimates from each type of vendor so that you can compare their services and price shop. Once you select a vendor, keep an ongoing list of total wedding estimates by category. We suggest using software like Excel so that you can keep the estimates organized as well as easily calculate differences between vendors. </li>
<li><b>Use this guide for a breakdown of budget by category:</b></li>
</ol>

</tbody></table>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Tracking Your Actual Expenses</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ol>
<li><b>Analyze budget vs. actuals</b>- Once you decide on vendors and finalize the cost of their services, it is important to keep track of actual expenses for each category and compare to your initial budget. Calculate any variances so that if you wind up spending more in one category, you can utilize excess from another category or cut back elsewhere.</li>
</ol>
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

</tbody></table>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ol>
<li><b>Calculate total spend</b>- Once you have contracted with all of your vendors and know exactly how much each will cost, calculate total spend and ensure that it is within your original budgeted amount. </li>
</ol>
<div>
No matter what, enjoy the wedding planning process knowing that you have made one of the first important financial decisions together as a couple!</div>

We love working with other great vendors in the wedding industry. It not only makes our job more fun, it makes it easy when we know we can recommend brides to other vendors and they'll be in good hands. One of those vendors is <a href="http://www.maggpievintagerentals.com/">Maggpie Vintage Rentals</a>. Over the past few years, we have been sending more and more of our brides Maggpie's way to add that little extra something to their wedding decor.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We finally had the chance to sit down with owners Maggie and Jason in their warehouse to discuss all things wedding and vintage rentals so we could get some insider tips from the experts and learn a little more about their company we love so much.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The company, which first started out of Northeastern PA a few years ago, quickly spread across the area and then relocated to Philly just last June. Their new home takes up two floors of a Northeast Philly warehouse. And it's not only home to their business, Maggie and Jason live in the warehouse too, along with their two golden retrievers. </div>

<b>Maggpie's Favorites</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
From a Sweetwater Farm barn wedding to a black tie Union League wedding, vintage rentals can be a great addition to any wedding theme and style, say Maggie and Jason, all when used the right way. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Some of Maggpie's most popular items and our favorites are their signature farm tables and their mismatched chairs. The farm tables are the perfect clean slate, easily decorated to match your wedding design. So many brides have been requesting them that Jason is working on building more this fall to keep up with the demand upping their collection to 45 tables. Yes, Jason makes all the farm tables by hand in his personal workshop!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ICToC4ZYS4I/U9pOmPNcXJI/AAAAAAAAVOo/DwOy7ga2dXw/s1600/FarmTable.JPG" height="400" width="238" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Originally an idea for their own wedding, Maggie and Jason began collecting mismatched chairs early on in their rental business. They soon realized that they never wanted a bride to contact them for a 150 person wedding and not have enough chairs, so now there's a full collection of white chairs and a full collection of brown chairs to choose from. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JYP3KpWhISA/U9pOpqG_BGI/AAAAAAAAVOw/dPsqOHk4X9o/s1600/Chairs.JPG" height="265" width="400" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Vintage Lounges</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
At first, Maggie admitted that brides didn't really understand the concept of vintage lounges, but they have quickly taken off and been a key element in several of our weddings in the past few years. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here's a list of essentials for every vintage lounge according to Maggie: </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-1 couch or settee </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-2 side chairs</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-1 or 2 side tables</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-1 coffee table</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's not just about the furniture though, it's also about accessorizing and decoration your vintage lounge. Whether you rent some of their smaller decor items or bring your own from home, a little accessorizing goes a long way. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"I think accessorizing it gives it more character," Maggie says. "I think it's a good idea to get your florist involved to help decorate the lounges. Flowers make everything come alive at a wedding."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>The Not So Obvious</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Besides the obvious table, chair, and lounge rental, Maggpie has a great collection of other rental items that might not be so obvious. From entire bars and china cabinets to smaller items like candlesticks, there are so many beautiful pieces you can incorporate into your wedding design. Take this fireplace mantle, which could be perfect as a ceremony altar piece or for displaying your memory photos at your reception. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gTr2JReUJVQ/U9pO07c_ypI/AAAAAAAAVPA/MKIWm6BMOek/s1600/Fireplace.jpg" height="261" width="400" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For Jason, it's all about getting your planner and caterer involved in the design, since many of their items can be used for catering purposes, not just decor. Like putting the wedding cake on a vanity Maggie says. There's also large bookshelves that can be used to display dessert and hold other decor items like picture frames and flowers. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Their smaller decor items include candlesticks, cake stands, lamps, pillows, china, suitcases, and more are a great way to make your displays different from other brides who may have used similar furniture. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-V2iE-Pi-1w0/U9pO5N1Y6gI/AAAAAAAAVPI/uHIhG7LtBRk/s1600/Suitcases.JPG" height="400" width="298" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Rental Budget</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If vintage rentals are what you want, there is no excuse that it can't fit into your budget. Brides can spend as low as $50 on renting a table to display escort cards or water before the ceremony, and as much as $5,000 on renting farm tables, ceremony chairs, and other decor. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"If you want a memorable piece for your desserts, you can literally get it for under $100," Maggie says. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XpnnDtUKDmQ/U9pO73YExxI/AAAAAAAAVPQ/nrFxLJ_V754/s1600/SideTables.JPG" height="265" width="400" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Designing Your Wedding Rentals</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Maggie and Jason are happy to be as involved in the design process as you want. They've certainly had brides who just tell them what style they like and what their color is and they leave it up to Maggie and Jason to put a unique display together for them, and that's exactly what they'll do. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"You kind of know the client that is right for that and can just let go and say 'do whatever'," Maggie says. "It's my favorite thing to do."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Maggie thought immediately of one of our couples, Dara and Sal, who let Maggie work her magic at their wedding last June at Front and Palmer. If you want to see our blog post about their wedding, you can go <a href="http://proudtoplan.blogspot.com/2014/02/dara-and-sals-wedding.html">here</a>. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>What's to Come</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Let's face it, there's a reason Maggpie is called Maggpie Vintage Rentals, they have one of the best collections of vintage rental items around, but don't let their name fool you, Maggie and Jason have bigger plans up their sleeves. Down the line, they don't want to just be vintage and rustic rentals. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"Everybody now just wants something different at their wedding," Maggie says. "We are going to get more involved in unique rentals, not just vintage."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Recently they have started gathering items in their new collection, The Wandering Maggpie, a line of boho inspired rentals that could work for both weddings and non-wedding events. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1EhxHNnAsv8/U9pPFO0iyrI/AAAAAAAAVPY/ZoOldt4xa1o/s1600/BohoLounge.JPG" height="265" width="400" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Stay tuned for the unveiling of their new industrial tables coming this fall. Think wooden farm tables with metal legs! And they're adding lots of newly upholstered chairs and couches. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"Whether you're having a modern wedding, rustic, or vintage, I think we can hit all those points with our upholstery," Maggie said. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Rent From Maggpie</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The Maggpie website is really straightforward and allows brides to see all that Maggpie has to offer, which is why 90% of brides order Maggpie rentals by looking online or emailing the Maggpie team. But if you're the type that likes to see things in person, Maggie welcomes any brides to come visit their warehouse to see the rentals for themselves. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"If they have already picked things out online, we will set it up for them when they come here," Maggie says. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Their biggest warning to brides, is to use other brides photos only for inspiration. For Maggie, she doesn't want every bride coming in and ordering the same exact things. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Thursday was a wonderful day and Brooke and David took full advantage of the sunshine for their wedding at <a href="http://www.cheltenhamtownship.org/pView.aspx?id=2645&catid=29">Curtis Hall Arboretum</a>! Beauty dream team <a href="http://hairbymeghan.wordpress.com/">Meghan Cahill</a> and Nina from <a href="http://www.cheekadee.com/">Cheekadee</a> were there early to make the ladies look lovely, then Joe and Rebecca from <a href="http://photographerphiladelphia.com/">JPG Photography</a> arrived to capture the rest of the day's fun! We started with photos at the hotel, then we headed over to the venue for the first look. <a href="http://www.theweddingpastor.com/">The Wedding Pastor, Andy Mahaney</a>, conducted a special wedding ceremony for the couple, then everyone celebrated at their reception, catered by the awesome team at <a href="http://www.joshuasevents.com/">Joshua's Catering</a>. The bride DIY'd centerpieces with the help of wine bottles and florals from Wegmans, and we put together the rest of the decor to bring their 20's themed event to life! <a href="http://www.seanjkennedy.com/home">Sean J. Kennedy Band</a> kicked the reception off with 20's jazz, then Anthony from <a href="http://www.psquareproductions.com/trends/">Pocketsquare Productions</a> took over by DJing some dance tracks to a floor full of partiers! There were tons of guests in flapper and gangster attire- everyone had so much fun with the theme! Guests loaded up on favors from the candy buffet on their way out, and Brooke and David have tons of memories of the day to last a lifetime! Congrats to Brooke and David! -Erin</div>

Beth and Tim's was our last wedding of 2013 and what a great wedding it was! This couple was so loved by their family and friends which made their big day even more memorable. A fun fact about this couple is that Beth is not only a twin but Tim is also a twin- so cool! Our very own Nicole was a bridesmaid in their wedding and we had the honor of coordinating Beth's twin sister's, Laura, <a href="http://proudtoplan.blogspot.com/2013/03/laura-and-andrews-wedding.html">wedding</a> in 2012- we knew everyone really well which makes the big day even more fun! Beth and her bridesmaids spent the morning being pampered with hair and makeup before getting dressed. The bridesmaids were able to choose their own dresses in navy blue and Beth's Matron of Honor wore a lighter blue to stand out. Beth's gown was a beautiful lace sleeveless dress and she completed her look by wearing her sister's veil. Such a wonderful and personal touch! Tim first saw his bride as she made her way down the aisle of the church. Their ceremony was a traditional Catholic with a lot of personal touches that made for happy tears from the couple and their guests. After the ceremony, they went out for photos with their bridal party, who were troopers since getting photos taken outside in December isn't the easiest thing to do! Meanwhile we were busy adding the finishing touches to their classic wedding! Pinecones were used as escort cards and set up on a table with framed photos and cute wooden signs. Tables were topped with low floral arrangements in shades of blue and we used our mercury glass votives to surround the centerpieces and add a glow to the tables. Menus were placed at each place setting for guests to take a look at while they were getting settled at their tables. The simple cake was topped with Tim's parent's cake topper to add a personal and vintage touch. After an amazing dinner prepared by Starr Events, guests cut loose on the dance floor and had a blast dancing to the music being spun! A great couple, fantastic wedding, and wonderful night to end our 2013 wedding season!</div>
