Corey and Nick's Wedding

When Corey and Nick were planning their wedding for last January, they wanted it to look like a winter wonderland and they got just that! Snow began to fall the morning of the wedding leaving a few inches of fresh snow on the ground for their photos. Corey and her bridesmaids started the day with hair and makeup before getting dressed. The bridesmaids wore black chiffon dresses with a gray sash and the Maid of Honor wore a gray dress with a black sash to stand out! Corey's satin wedding gown featured a lace back and she finished off her look with a cape! They were married in the galleries of the Museum in front of their closest friends and family in a personal ceremony. The couple took all of their photos before their ceremony so that they were able to join their guests for a delicious cocktail hour. Meanwhile, we were prepping the reception space. Beautiful white trees were placed near the doors of the reception space so that guests felt like they were outside in the snow and the tables were topped with branch arrangements with hanging Christmas tree ornaments that served as one of the favors. Guests were also treated to Cinderella candle favors, hot cocoa mix, and a bag of M&M's. Another fun detail from their wedding was the dueling groom's cakes! One with the Denver Broncos logo and the other with the Baltimore Ravens logo- the couple's favorite teams! Everyone let loose after dinner and danced the night away. 

Congratulations Corey and Nick!

Lindsey and Brendan had a wonderful wedding on Saturday! It all started with hair by Bella Angel and makeup by Cheekadee- the girls looked gorgeous! Then, our photographers Kristen and Nic from Hudson-Nichols Photography and Darrell and Deanna from Aubert Films arrived to capture the festivities as they unfolded. The girls dressed in their blush chiffon gowns, then got Lindsey buttoned up in her gorgeous lace wedding dress. We met the guys at Old St. Mary's Church and prepped them for the ceremony. When Lindsey walked down the aisle to Brendan, the love in the room was palpable- it was awesome! Rittenhouse Strings played beautiful music to accompany the unique ceremony by Father Paul, and we followed it all with a pink rose petal toss! The gang went off for photos in the city, while we put the finishing touches on the reception at the Philadelphia Cricket Club. The floral decor by Petah Bashano was a stunning mix of blush and gold, shabby chic, with lots of candlelight, lace, and ivy! The room looked beyond amazing. Once the guests enjoyed yummy cocktails and had photos taken by Wilmington Photobooth, then danced the night away to the sounds of the Vincent James Band. All in all, the day was a dream and we were so happy to be a part of it! Congratulations to our couple, Lindsey and Brendan! -Erin

Brittany and Sean's wedding day started at the beautiful Visage a Visage Salon at the mansion where Brittany and her girls had hair and makeup done. After putting on her gown, Brittany was off to Riverdale Manor to meet Sean for their first look under the big oak tree. Just as they saw each other for the first time, rain clouds came over Riverdale and drops started to fall. Sean held an umbrella over them as they walked back up to the house to get ready for the ceremony. The rain clouds didn't keep Sean and Brittany from having an outdoor ceremony under the lit up pergola at the Manor. Thyme and Season's Catering created a delicious menu and Petals with Style decorated the reception space. After dinner, DJ Freez, opened the dance floor and photo booth and guests had fun with all the extra props Brittany and Sean brought. They cut their cake created by Oregon Dairy Farms and guests had the choice of four different cake flavors and enjoyed a crepe station with tons of toppings! At the end of the night, Brittany and Sean had a VIP sparkler sendoff and Tiffany from Atlas Photography and Larissa and Jeff from Cinema Four40 were there to capture it and all the special moments from the day. Here a couple of sneak peeks from Tiffany- we can't wait to see the rest! And the videographers even created a teaser film which you can see here! -Caitlin

Jessica and Eric's Wedding

Jessica and Eric were married last August at the Brantwyn Estate in Delaware. Before heading over to the venue, Jessica and her bridesmaids spent their morning getting pampered with hair and makeup by MACK Stylists. Jessica's wedding gown was a gorgeous Allure beaded fit and flare gown that fit her perfectly! The couple chose to keep things traditional and Eric finally got to see his bride as she walked down the aisle with her dad and the couple's adorable daughter, Olivia. The ceremony was held in the lower gardens and their florist, Honeybunches, created a beautiful and unique swirl design down the aisle with light and dark pink rose petals- it looked incredible and the guests' commented on it as they arrived! Since it was a warmer day, a thirst quenching beverage station was set up. The newlyweds shared their first dance and toasts outside before heading into the Estate for dinner. Guests found their table assignments on traditional escort cards and before heading to their seats, they left their thumbprint on the thumbprint tree guestbook! The decor inside was kept simple to make the charm of the Estate stand out. The centerpieces were a mix of pink, white, and green flowers and if you looked closely, you could see green succulents placed inside. This gave the centerpieces a small modern flair while keeping them traditional. After enjoying a delicious meal, guests enjoyed the night dancing away. They cut their simple and stunning 4 tier wedding cake and then Jessica surprise Eric with a groom's cake fashioned to look like The Grumpy Cat- it was a huge hit!
