Teaser Tuesday

Katie and Bobby had gorgeous weather for their big day. The girls started their day at Salon by Dominic 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 St. Mary the Assumption Church where Father Dillingham performed a beautiful and entertaining ceremony. Barnyard Photography was there to capture the day along with TAG Visual Media- I can't wait to see what they got! Thanks to the incredible weather, guests were able to enjoy the outside patio area at Deerfield Country Club for cocktail hour while the newlyweds enjoyed the foliage as they took pictures together. The Corner Boys kept the party going all night and guests enjoyed an awesome Halloween themed candy buffet following dinner. 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

Sunday was another beautiful day for a wedding! Alisa started her day with her bridesmaids and the ladies from Gloss Salon 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 Adas Kodesch Shel Emeth 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 Boscov's Catering 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 Werth Photography and the guys from Merryweather Films were on hand to capture the day and DJ Steve of VIP DJ Entertainment kept the party going all night. It was a fun day we're so glad we were there to share it with Alisa and Jacob. Congratulations! -Becky 

Mandy and Keith's Wedding

Mandy and Keith's wedding was held on a gorgeous Saturday in September. The started their big day at a nearby hotel with hair and makeup before heading over to the Inn to get into their gowns. The girls wore pretty raspberry colored gowns to match the wedding's pink color scheme. Mandy's gown was a classic ballgown with a simple touch of bling on the bodice to make her shine on her big day! Mandy and Keith met for an intimate first look before doing pictures with their bridal party. While pictures were going on, the final touches were being added to the outdoor ceremony space. An ivory draped Chuppah was set up by their florist and was decorated with floral clusters that were also used to decorate the candy buffet when the ceremony was over! They rented our "Pick a Seat, Not a Side" sidewalk sign to let their guests know of the seating arrangements for the ceremony. The aisle way was lined with shepherd's hooks that held small clusters of flowers. When the ceremony was over, guests were treated to drinks, including the signature drinks the "Blushing Bride" and "Mint to Be", before heading to cocktail hour. The reception space looked so romantic as guests entered, thanks to the amber uplighting provided by Synergetic. Guests saw all of the stationery that we created for the couple along with the gorgeous centerpieces created by Petals Lane. The tables were topped with classic gold pintuck linens which made the florals stand out and bring most of the color to the room! The sweetheart and cake tables were topped with ivory rosette linens to make them stand out while keeping them in the color scheme. After dinner guests enjoyed dancing and were able to jump in the photobooth for some fun pictures. Guests also were able to take their favors from the most amazing candy bar we've ever seen! Everyone absolutely loved it! When the night came to an end, the newlyweds joined their guests' that were staying overnight for a pizza bonfire. What a great way to end a spectacular day!
