Katie and Jake's Wedding

Katie started her day getting ready with her bridesmaids at her parent's home before getting dressed and heading over to Longwood Gardens for her first look with Jake. The couple took advantage of the amazing grounds at Longwood Gardens and then headed to the church to make things official! They were married in a traditional Catholic ceremony. The color scheme for their wedding was orange and aubergine with touches of damask and the couples stationery, from the ceremony programs to the menu to the table numbers and escort cards, followed the scheme perfectly! Tables were topped with eggplant colored linens and orange damask runners which made the reception space pop with color. Archmere is another venue was love to work at and it was a pleasure to work with Jenni from J. Scott Catering- guests loved the menu! To personalize their reception, the couple chose to have a cooking theme. Each of the guests' tables were named for spices and their cardbox was a dutch oven. The favors for guests were spiced flavored lollipops- every detail matched their theme! While guests were enjoying dinner, we lined the walkway outside with mason jar luminaries and once the sun set, it looked amazing! When it came time to party, Philly Funk Authority brought it and kept guests on their feet until the very last song. The newlyweds exited the reception down the mason jar lit path and through a sparkler sendoff! What a great night!

Congratulations Katie and Jake!

Ellenmarie and Anthony's Wedding

Welcome to real wedding week! This entire week, we'll be showing you real weddings from last year, so get ready for some major wedding eye candy and inspiration. 

First up is Ellenmarie and Anthony's Philadelphia themed wedding from September. Ellenmarie and her bridesmaids started the day with hair and makeup done by Janet from Amelia Paris Salon. Melody Appel, from Innove Events, created Ellenmarie and Anthony's invitations and their monogram, which included a sketch of the Philadelphia skyline! A big thank you to Melody for allowing us to use the skyline and monogram on the stationery that we created for the couple. We made the bridal suite and groom's quarters door signs, their ceremony programs, Mr. & Mrs chair signs and other various signage for their reception to match their color scheme of black and white with touches of pink. They held their ceremony at Old St. Mary's Church and then guests headed over to The Atrium at the Curtis Center for the reception. Cescaphe outdid themselves again with a delicious menu and the cake they created was simply beautiful! Il Fiore Bianco did an excellent job with Ellenmarie's bouquet which was made up of cream and blush pink flowers. The bridesmaids bouquets were made up of blush and hot pinks that complimented their black gowns perfectly! Guests were on their feet dancing the night away thanks to Big City Band and were treated to a surprise appearance by some Mummers! When guests needed a break from dancing, they were able to head over to the photobooth provided by Go Festive. Thank you to Clair Pruett for sending us these gorgeous images and make sure you all go watch Ellenmarie and Anthony's video done by Society Hill Studios! You can see it here- it's incredible!

Congratulations Ellenmarie and Anthony!
