Ashley and Ryan's Wedding

Ashley and Ryan were married on a gorgeous day in October. They planned their traditional and classic wedding from Ohio, where they both reside. Ashley and her bridesmaids spent the morning at the salon getting their hair and makeup done before heading over to Cairnwood to get dressed. The bridesmaids beautiful red sweetheart neckline chiffon gowns were perfect for this fall themed affair! To add to the classic look, the groomsmen wore black tuxes with bow ties. Ashley's gown was a Pnina Tornai satin ruched gown that looked incredible on her! She chose to wear her hair down and swept off the side for a more glamorous look. The couple saw each other for the first time as Ashley walked towards Ryan in the church. After their traditional Catholic ceremony, the couple walked out of the church to the bubble send off, which made for some great photos! They then headed over to Cairnwood for photos with their bridal party. They used the sprawling grounds at the estate to get some great and fun photos! Upon guests arrival, they were greeted with a signature cocktail before heading in to enjoy a delicious food filled cocktail hour. Table assignments were placed in a frame that doubled as a favor and were placed around an arrangement filled with manzanita branches. For a fun fall touch, white pumpkins were placed on the cocktail tables as decoration. When it came time for the couple's first dance as husband and wife, we asked for guests to fill the Great Hall and watch the newlyweds romantic first dance. The couple wanted their guests to remember how much fun the reception was so the night was filled with lots of dancing. When guests weren't dancing, they were able to jump in the photo booth for a fun pictures! Check out the awesome highlight video from our friends at Tweed Weddings at the very end of this post!

Congratulations Ashley and Ryan!

Brittany and Luke's Wedding

Brittany and Luke were married on a gorgeous and sunny day last October. After a morning of pampering from My Makeup Artist Victoria, Brittany and her bridesmaids got dressed. Brittany's bridesmaids wore high neck floor length red gowns that were the perfect color for this fall themed wedding. Brittany's gown was a beautiful lace fit and flare gown that fit her like a glove! To top off her look, she wore glittered Louboutin's and a blusher birdcage veil. When she was dressed and ready to go, she set off for her reveal meeting with Luke in the gardens at the hotel. After some pictures of just the couple, they headed off to the church to make it official. Before walking down the aisle, Brittany put on a long-sleeved lace bolero to wear during their traditional Catholic Mass. They kissed and were pronounced husband and wife and then headed out of the church with their bridal party for some formal photos. The lighting outside was picture perfect and they got some incredible images! We were busy at work at the Park Avenue Club, setting up all of their great details. On the back of the table number tents, guests found their favor- a donation made in their names to the ASPCA. They also rented our candy buffet glassware and filled it with delicious treats that also served as a favor for guests. Guests enjoyed a delicious cocktail hour and headed into the main room to watch the couple dance a choreographed first dance as husband and wife! Everyone enjoyed a night full of food and dancing and even a photo booth which was set up by the couple's photographer, Jenn Childress! They are always such a hit with guests! To end the night, everyone was treated to zeppolis as a midnight snack- a perfect way to end such a great night!
