A perfect fall day for Colette and Angelo's wedding in Philadelphia this past Saturday. Colette and her maids started the day at her parents home with hair and makeup by Your Day Your Way before everyone slipped into their dresses. Colette and Angelo saw each other for the first time as Colette made her down the aisle of St. Monica Church. They took their family photos at the church after the ceremony before heading out to their family's first established South Philadelphia Primo's store and then to City Hall for more bridal party photos. They then headed to Tendenza and enjoyed a delicious menu for cocktail hour and their signature cocktail that they named "Sunset in Mexico" created by Cescaphe Event Group. Beautiful Blooms lit up the ballroom with lilac sachet lighting, projected a custom monogram on the dance floor, while also providing the beautiful ivory rose bouquets and white calla lily centerpieces.

Kaiti and Adam were married on Saturday on the front lawn of Joseph Ambler Inn. Guests were seating in a semi-circle in front of an altar decorated with hydrangea and rose bushes that Kaiti's mom planted herself. Before walking down the aisle to her groom, Kaiti and her bridesmaids started the day with hair by Jill Kozar and makeup by Janel Stys. The bridesmaids wore Two Birds bridesmaid dresses and each girl had a different tie for the top of their dress, which fit their personalities perfectly! Kaiti's gown was a beautiful lace top with a tulle skirt and for the reception, she ditched the skirt and was able to dance the night away to the music from Mike of Synergetic Sound and Lighting, in a cute little lace dress! The Flower Station created amazing centerpieces that matched the color scheme of blue and white by using lanterns and different flowers for each table. The theme for the wedding was all things vintage nautical; lots of anchors and lanterns with vintage touches throughout. The crew from Synergetic also up lit the room in a warm amber, hung Italian string lights from the ceiling, and projected a wash onto the dance floor. The couple ran through a beautiful sparkler send off into their after party and they and their guests partied well into the night. Doug from Douglas James Photography sent us a few teasers and we are SO excited to show you the rest- the details from this wedding were incredible!! A gorgeous day for a gorgeous couple, we can't ask for much more! -Lisa

The rain cleared early Saturday morning, making for a perfect wedding day for Christi and Tim! Starting with the girls getting their hair done by Sharon and Agatha from Salon by Dominic and makeup done by Ivey Artistry, they then headed to St. Mary of the Assumption where Tim first saw Christi as the doors opened and she walked down the long aisle lined with tulle swags with flowers on the pews. After a bubble sendoff, it was off in the limo by Buker Limo to Deerfield Golf Club for the reception! The room was decorated with beautiful high and low centerpieces with white flowers all done by Honeybunches and hundreds of mercury glass candles filled each table creating an amber glow. As guests enjoyed cocktail hour and dinner they listed and danced to the sounds of Group Therapy's 8-piece band! Then came time for the four tiered cake by Cakes by Kim, followed by a surprise groom's cake- a rice krispie treat cake with a baseball playing bride and groom as the cake topper. The couple fulfilled Tim's lifelong goal last summer by visiting every major league baseball stadium in the country, so baseball was a sure theme to this wedding from the tables named after each place they visited to the soft pretzels and baseball shaped chocolates guests enjoyed as a late night snack. The crew from George Street Photography captured some great shots and filmed throughout the night including Christi dancing to "She's Country" with her cowgirl boots on! At the end of the night guests headed back to the Christiana Hilton continue the party! -Caitlin
