Weddings by Color {Purple}

Do you love purple? Are you thinking about color scheme options for your wedding? Purple offers different hues to fit whichever them you are going for and personally, it's my favorite!

From lavender to plum, utilizing the different shades of purple can add texture and variation to your event from beginning to end. 

From invitations to the cake, from chair covers to table linens, shades of purple can add a regal or rustic feel to your day.

Adding statement pieces are a great way to incorporate purple into your wardrobe, like socks for the groomsmen, a belt for the gown, or incorporating color into your garter.

One of the things I love about purple is the ability to match it with varying color schemes, like purple and gray, purple and white, purple and yellow, or purple and green. The options are endless! Here a few popular combinations. 

Purple and orange adds a nice color splash.

Teaser Tuesday

Nicole and Sean were married this past Saturday and celebrated their marriage with a beautiful and fun filled reception at The Liberty House. The girls started the day with hair and makeup at Blowout Bar, while the guys got ready at the Hyatt Regency in Jersey City. Being very family oriented, Nicole chose to redesign her mother's wedding gown and wear it- it looked AMAZING! The lovely ceremony conducted by Father Matthew was held at the Seton Hall University Chapel, where the couple went to college and met. We were hoping the rain would hold off but it started some time during the ceremony and continued afterwards but even a little rain couldn't stop this day from being any less awesome. The bridal party and immediate family headed over for photos before guests arrived for the reception. The rain tapered off right around the beginning of cocktail hour, letting guests enjoy the stunning views of the Manhattan skyline. Guests enjoyed dessert before dinner with delicious Crumbs Bake Shop cupcakes which served as their escort cards. Karma Flowers created beautiful purple floral arrangements that incorporated lanterns, branches, and many candles that created a perfect romantic setting. The new Mr & Mrs were introduced into the reception with the Seton Hall Pirate and their college friends were so excited to see the mascot there! Carlo's Bakery of Cake Boss fame created a yummy 4-tier cake with all different flavors. Since Nicole is a New York Giants fan and Sean is a Philadelphia native who loves the Eagles and the Phillies more than anything, Nicole had a close friend make a surprise groom's cake that looked like the Philly Phanatic! DJ Frank, a friend of the groom, had the dance floor packed all night, while Coldstone Creamery offered guests ice cream during dessert. Lynda Bailey Videography captured all of the fun on video including the surprise flash mob that Nicole's sister and best friend both choreographed- the couple was so surprised! A huge thank you to Maggie from Maggie McGill Photography for sending us these teasers- we can't wait to see the rest and share them! It was a wonderful and unforgettable night and we were so happy to be a part of it! -Amanda

Lauren and Jon's Wedding

The words to best describe this wedding would be Purple Perfection! Lauren and Jon were married in November of last year in front of their family and friends in the Rose Garden Ballroom at the Hyatt at the Bellevue. Before saying their I Do's, Lauren and her ladies spent the morning getting their hair and makeup done while Jon and his fellas hung out in their own suite before getting dressed. Lauren's dress was a beautiful A-line gown with a sweetheart neckline. She embellished the gown with a beaded belt and long veil. Her bridesmaids matched the wedding's color scheme by wearing floor length purple gowns and carried bouquets that had varying purple flowers! The aisle was decorated with lavender, pink, and red rose petals and the sides of the aisle were lined with floating candles in vases. The ballroom was up lit in purple by Synergetic Sound and Lighting and it really completed the vision this couple was looking for! The couple was pronounced husband and wife and then headed out into the city with their bridal party for some photos. While guests enjoyed cocktail hour, we were hard at work flipping the ceremony space to the reception. The tables were topped with deep eggplant colored linens and finished off with silver vases tall and low that featured flowers of all different shades of purple with subtle pops of red! Guests were treated to a favor of Godiva Chocolates that were placed on top of their menus at each of their seats. Their purple ombre cake was placed on top of a metallic silver linen which really made it pop in the room! After dinner, guests danced the night away to the tunes played by Dave from Synergetic. This was a huge dancing crowd and everyone had a great time!

Congratulations Lauren and Jon!
