Kaiti and Adam's Wedding

Kaiti and Adam were married on a beautiful day in early June, on the front lawn of the Joseph Ambler Inn in front of their closest friends and family. Kaiti and her maids started the day relaxing with hair and makeup before getting dressed. Her bridesmaids wore navy blue Two Birds Bridesmaids dresses and had them tied in all different ways. Kaiti's dress was a stunning A-line gown with lace top and detachable skirt that she removed at the reception to reveal that it was a lace mini dress! The gown was accented with a navy blue belt. The couple saw each other for the first time as Kaiti walked down the aisle to her groom. The ceremony decor was kept simple with just buckets of babies breath lining the aisle and a table that was flanked with florals served as the altar. Their ceremony was sweet and personal and after they kissed and were showered with lavender that their guests tossed as they recessed down the aisle, they headed off to take some photos with their bridal party while guests headed to the gazebo for cocktail hour. In cocktail hour guests found their table assignments on adorable little lanterns that matched the nautical theme for the wedding. Inside of the ballroom we were adding all of the little touches that made their wedding unique! We replaced all of the artwork in the ballroom with art that Kaiti's mom had created. Each table had a different lantern and floral set up that was placed on top of burlap runners. Kaiti and Adam left no corner untouched with the nautical theme. They collected little pieces of decor and we placed all of it into the ballroom and the guests all took notice! Lighting was really important to Kaiti so the couple chose to have the room up lit in an amber, a wash was projected onto the dance floor and half of the ballroom was lit with G-40 string lights making it feel warm and inviting in the room. Guests enjoyed a delicious dinner before cutting loose on the dance floor and this crowd was definitely a dancing group! When it came time for the night to end, we lined all of the guests up on the walkway for a sparkler send off leading to the after party- a great way to end such a wonderful night! 

Congratulations Kaiti and Adam!

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

What a gorgeous day for a wedding! Elizabeth and her bridesmaids started the day by getting ready at her aunt's house. They then headed over to The Episcopal Church of St. James for their touching ceremony. As soon as they were pronounced husband and wife, the sun came out and they were able to have a beautiful lavender toss send off. Everyone headed over to Upper Montclair Country Club for the reception. The cocktail hour got started with a surprise performance from the Montclair Dapper Dan's Barbershop Chorus. Afterwards, everyone headed inside for a delicious dinner. There were heartfelt toasts from the father of the bride, maid of honor, and best man...there wasn't a dry eye in the house! Elizabeth and Sean had a spectacular cake from Ron Ben Israel Cakes. Then, Elizabeth surprised her husband with an amazing groom's cake from Pink Cake Box. The guests headed outside to dance the night away to the sounds of Hank Lane Entertainment- Spotlight. The dance floor was packed! Patricia Lyons Photography was on hand to capture this amazing day. We can't wait to share some of her photos, but for now here are a few of our iPhone shots! -Jen
