Teaser Tuesday

With the rain holding off on Saturday, Renee and Joe had that fun filled, beautiful wedding day they had both imagined! They started out with hair by MACK Stylists and makeup by Face the Occasion, the bride and her bridesmaids looked stunning! Renee and Joe had their reveal meeting in the gardens right across from Philadelphia's Hotel Monaco, then proceeded with bridal party photos behind Independence Hall. Then, it was off to the Downtown Club to enjoy a gorgeous ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Guests enjoyed the panoramic views of the city, while Cescaphe offered an over the top array of cuisine. Falls Flowers created beautiful red, peach, and ivory floral arrangements, and added ivory to red ombre flower petals to line the ceremony aisle. Renee and Joe were introduced into their reception as husband and wife for the first time, while a petal canon shot red and peach petals from above the happy couple. We always love working with Matt from Synergetic Sound and Lighting as he always keeps the dance floor packed! A huge thank you to Marisa and John from Redfield Photography for sending us these teasers- we can't wait to see the rest! It was a wonderful night! -Amanda

Kate and Anthony's Wedding

Brace yourself for this stunner of a wedding! Kate hired Erin to plan her and Anthony's August wedding and wanted it to be glamorous and full of bling, since Kate loves sparkles! Lucky for her, Erin does too :) We started the glam theme with their Save the Dates and followed it through with all of their stationery and even their welcome bags. On the day of, Kate and her maids got ready in a suite at the Omni Hotel in Philadelphia and started their day with hair and makeup. The girls looked beautiful in their floor length, pale pink gowns and complemented the stunning bride in her traditional ball gown that was adorned with lots of sparkles and bead work. The couple was married in a traditional Greek Orthodox ceremony. The church was decorated with amazing trees that Brittany from Petals Lane created and she to bring the glam theme around, she decorated the trees with orchids and crystals- it looked so pretty and was the perfect touch! While the couple and their bridal party were taking their photos around the city, we were busy at work at the reception. The centerpieces were a mix of three different designs that all featured the pink color scheme with touches of green. The space was up lit in amber and Kate and Anthony decided to use the amazing chandeliers that are hung in the space to add more bling to their reception! Kate had one of the BEST reactions when she saw the space all decorated on wedding day. She actually squealed with joy when she saw everything and was so happy with how it all came together! The couple and their guests had an incredible night, enjoying the music from the band and the food from Cescaphe. You can see all of the fun they had by watching the highlight video at the end of this post from our good friends at Tweed Weddings!

Lauren and Phil's Wedding

Lauren and Phil were married in May at one of our favorite spots in the city, Cescaphe Ballroom! Before walking down the aisle, Lauren and her bridesmaids were pampered at the Loews Hotel, with hair done by Jill, from Up Your Do, and Cindy, from Dylan Michael Cosmetics. Lauren and Phil had their first look on the top floor of the Loews and then headed out to go around the city for pictures! They held their ceremony in the ballroom and after they were pronounced husband and wife, they and their guests, enjoyed a delicious cocktail hour menu, created by Cescaphe. The room was transformed during cocktail hour, to fit their Philadelphia themed wedding. Each table was named after a landmark in the city and the table numbers were vintage postcards of the landmarks. They even had a Philadelphia Phanatic ice sculpture! The tables were set with a royal blue pintuck linen and then topped with fantastic centerpieces created by Beautiful Blooms. They featured deep purple and green flowers and the bases were surrounded by tons of candlelit! To make the room feel warm, Beautiful Blooms up lit the space in warm amber and highlighted each centerpiece with pinspotting- guests were in awe of the room! Steve from Silver Sound Entertainment got the party started and had the dance floor packed all night long while Clair Pruett Videography captured all the fun! When it was time to say goodbye, guests were handed Philadelphia cheesesteaks and soft pretzels on their way home- it was a huge hit! Thank you so much to Tony and Amy from Hoffer Photography for sending us these fantastic images and capturing all of the fun the couple had on their wedding day!

Congratulations Lauren and Phil!
