Meg and Mike's Wedding

We have another beautiful Congress Hall wedding to share with you today! Meg and Mike were a great couple hired us for partial planning of their wedding day. The big day started with hair and makeup in Founders' Hall before getting dressed. Meg's bridesmaids wore a bright blue color and when they put their bouquets up against them, it was exactly what Meg was envisioning! Meg's dress was AMAZING and she even had custom shoes made! Once she was dressed it was off to the reveal meeting to see Mike. They were so excited to see each other! They took most of their formal photos and photos with their bridal party before heading back inside before the ceremony. The ceremony was held on the lawn and the aisle was decorated with flower petals and the couple were married under a beautiful Huppah created by Manic Botanic. The couple decided to honor Mike's mother by placing a bouquet on the seat where she would have sat and then we moved it inside for the reception and placed it with photos of the groom and his mother together. It was a really sweet and personal touch and was a great way to honor his mom. When Erin first met with the couple, they only had a venue and a color scheme and needed help pulling everything else together. We helped them design the room with touches of nautical stripes and amazing pops of bright colors in the florals- the tables looked incredible when they were all set! To match this color scheme, we created all of the day of stationery with blue and white stripe accents. Synergetic Sound and Lighting pinspotted the centerpieces and uplit the ballroom in blue which finished off the look we were aiming for! When it came time to get the party started, CTO 5th Avenue played everyone's favorite songs and had the dance floor packed all night long! If guests wanted to take a break from dancing, they were able to enjoy the delicious candy buffet that we set up. After you check out the wonderful pictures from Joy Moody, be sure to keep scrolling to check out the highlight video from Blossom Productions! A great team of wedding professionals really made this wedding picture perfect!

Congratulations Meg and Mike!

Teaser Tuesday

When I first met Meg and Mike, they only had a venue and a color scheme and needed someone to help them pull everything else together- I'm so happy they chose me, because planning this wedding was a TON of fun! With Congress Hall in Cape May as our setting, we decided to pull in a subtle hint of "beachy-ness" by using nautical navy and white stripe as our starting point. Then, we enlisted the help of Manic Botanic to create lush arrangements that brought in vibrant splashes of coral, orange, yellow, and hot pink. Synergetic Sound and Lighting provided centerpiece pinspotting and blue uplighting to make the reception room pop! We created stripey stationery and put together a yummy candy bar for their guests. Guests partied all night to the sounds of Karma Strings and CTO 5th Avenue while the amazingly talented Joy Moody Photography and Blossom Productions captured all the fun! The girls stayed beautiful with makeup by Cheekadee and hair by Karen Capcino- even well after the post-party in the super cool Boiler Room. The onsite team was top-notch and this wedding was absolutely flawless! So honored to have been a part of it! -Erin

It was a hot day in the city but that didn't stop Margaret and Stephen's wedding on Saturday from being any less awesome! While they were taking pictures with their bridal party around the city, we were hard at work setting up their ceremony in the Atrium of the Mellon Center. Carl Alan Floral Design did an incredible job with draping and uplighting for the ceremony and the altar arrangements they created were some of the freshest flowers I've ever seen! The couple wrote the entire ceremony themselves and added a ring warming ceremony within it. Meanwhile on the 52nd floor with some incredible views of the city, we were getting the reception space ready at the Pyramid Club. They chose to have a laid back reception with stations and no assigned seating. When I say that no one was sitting, I mean it- this crowd packed the dance floor from the first all the way to the last song! Brett from Martelli Photography was on hand to capture all of the fun that the guests were having! It was a picture perfect day. -Lisa

On Saturday, Stephanie and Tom got married on a beautifully sunny day! In the morning, the girls headed to Salon Pasca to get their hair and makeup done and then headed back to the Doubletree Hotel to finish getting ready. Then it was off to Rockford Park where Tom and his groomsmen met us for the reveal. Sara from Langdon Photography captured their first look at the tower in the park with the landscape acting as a perfect photo scene. Then it was off in a limo by City Wide Limo to the ceremony at Westminster Presbyterian Church where Tom Stout officiated, followed by the cocktail hour and reception at Blue Ball Barn. Action Special Events and Rentals converted the outdoor patio of the barn into a covered space to keep guests out of the sun with a tent, while Belak Flowers provided bright wildfloweres for each of the tables. Bachetti Brothers served the food for the night and Cakes by Kim made a two-tiered ombre decorated gluten free cake for the bride and additional sheet cakes for the rest of the guests. Paul from Silver Sound Entertainment had the guests entertained on the dance floor where "City Can't Hold Us" was the hit of the night! -Caitlin
