Thank goodness for the rain's departure on Saturday afternoon for Greg and Andrea's wedding! The couple started their day at the Westin Mount Laurel. Gloss Salon was on hand to pamper the girls with hair and makeup. After hair and makeup was complete, the bride put on her beautiful dress, complete with pieces of Greg's mother's wedding dress sewn onto her dress. She also made herself a clutch using material from her mom's wedding gown! After everyone was dressed and ready, we headed to St. Thomas More Roman Catholic Church where Father Joyce led the ceremony. They were announced husband and wife and then headed out for some great photos with Studio K Photography. Guests were so excited to see the new Mr. and Mrs. and showed their excitement by dancing all night long with the help of Illusions DJ. The ballroom was decorated with beautiful, tall white orchids by Leigh Florist, and we can't forget the yummy cake by Diane's La Patisserie! Overall the day was simply beautiful and included so many personal touches from the bride and groom. Congratulations Greg and Andrea! -Annemarie

Cate and Keith were married on Sunday with their closest friends and family in attendance, and even though it was a small guest list, it was a HUGE event and one of the most fun and beautiful that we've ever been a part of! Their photographer, Jennifer Childress, recommended our services to the couple when they were considering hosting a wedding in a barn on their property. The minute I got onsite and saw the space and met the couple, I knew it was a perfect match! Cate's a big Pinterest fan and wanted the wedding day to show off all the fun details she had been compiling on her wedding boards. We went with a rustic theme, complete with lots of burlap, lace, candlelight, vintage touches, great food, and organic floral designs. Our friends from Starr Events put together a delicious menu consisting of an amazing raw bar, seasonal salad, yummy entrees, and a dessert display of pies, cakes, and even a Coldstone Creamery sundae bar! Then, the AMAZING guys from Synergetic Sound and Lighting draped the barn in fabric and string  lights to create an unbelievable look! Our go-to gang for all vintage accessories, Maggpie Vintage Rentals, helped us select furniture and a bar for our vintage lounge, which looked beyond perfect in the space. Party Rental's farm and picnic tables were the perfect foundation for gorgeous floral design by Miss Fancy Plants, and we brought in a ton of rental items to fill in the centerpieces and decor. An intimate lakeside ceremony was conducted by Judge John Murray, and then following dinner, we were treated to a spectacular fireworks display, courtesy of the couple! Once the fireworks ended, the whole party moved into their tavern to cheer on the Eagles on their shut-out against the NY Giants! It was an unforgettable event with fantastic vendors and an awesome couple and I'm so honored we were a part of it. Congrats Cate and Keith! -Erin

Sunday was a wonderful day for Sara and Jared's wedding! Sara and her closest ladies started their day in a suite at the Omni Hotel with hair and makeup done by the staff at the hotel's salon. In between getting their hair and makeup they relaxed and enjoyed a catered breakfast. Sara then headed over to Hotel Monaco to get into her stunning lace gown. She wore a bolero during the ceremony and cocktail hour and then took it off for the reception- it was beautiful! Ron, from Faith West Photography, was on hand to capture their first look and the 2nd Bank Building and then headed out into the gardens for photos with their bridal party, while Damon, also from Faith West, captured all of the fun they had on video! Everyone then headed to the National Museum of American Jewish History for the ketubah signing and then the ceremony. Their ceremony was held on the 5th floor of the museum and once the coupled exited the space, we escorted guests down to the concourse for a delicious cocktail hour. The dinner and dancing portion of the evening was held back up on the 5th floor and was filled with lovely and touching speeches from the couple's parents and family. Tables were topped with pretty florals done by Nature's Gallery Florist. When it was time to kick the party into high gear, the Ken Ulansey Band turned up the tempo of songs and got the guests out onto the dance floor. It was a perfect day from start to finish and we were so happy to be there to help! Mazel Tov Sara and Jared! -Lisa

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

Kimberly and Regan's Wedding

Kimberly and Regan originally planned to have a tropical beachside wedding but those plans changed to Rehoboth Beach and we made it look spectacular! Kimberly, her sister, and their mom, went to the salon in the morning for hair and makeup before heading back to get dressed. The couple chose to have a small bridal party consisting of a Matron of Honor and a Best Man. The Matron of Honor wore a navy dress to match the wedding's navy and pink color scheme. Kimberly looked incredible in her bridal gown and finished off her look with a hair brooch and lace trim veil. She also matched the color scheme with cute blue shoes! The couple saw each other before the ceremony in an intimate first look on the dock at the country club. The ceremony looked like a dream with the pergola draped in white by the crew from Synergetic. In the center of the pergola we hung a chandelier that now hangs in the couple's home! As guests arrived to the ceremony, they were treated to hot cocoa and apple cider before finding their seats. Once the couple was officiated pronounced husband and wife, the couple took a few photos before heading in for cocktail hour. The decor for their wedding was amazing! The cocktail tables were topped with navy blue and white striped linens and they used our milk glass rentals as the centerpieces for these tables. It was perfectly nautical looking! The guests' tables were topped with lush cream and champagne colored flowers with our stemmed votives placed around the base to add some candlelight to each table! At each place setting was a pink napkin topped with a clear charger with a navy and white menu that we created, placed underneath. Kimberly dreamed of dancing under the stars so we did their first dance under a clear tent lit with G40 lights! When it came time for the party portion of the night, the newlyweds treated their guest to a band who alternated sets with Matt from Synergetic- it was a crazy party and all of the guests were blown away! After the wedding they hosted a mega afterparty that went into the wee hours of the morning! 

Congratulations Kimberly and Regan!

Laurie and Bob's Wedding

Laurie and Bob planned to hold their wedding at their home in West Chester and chose us to help them partial plan their spectacular backyard nuptials! We helped them turn their backyard from a field into a dream ceremony and reception space. Laurie and her ladies started their day with hair and makeup at the house while Bob and the guys got ready at the best man's house. The bridesmaids wore beautiful long gray gowns in differing styles and the groomsmen wore classic black tuxes. For a pop of color, purple bouquets were chosen for the ladies. Laurie's gown was stunning and it fit her like a glove and showed off her killer body! When they met for their reveal meeting, Bob waited patiently in the yard as his bride came down to meet him- they were so happy to see each other! They took photos together and then with their bridal party while were adding the finishing touches to the ceremony and reception space. The ceremony was held under a tent and was set up very simply. Dark wood chivaris were set up for guests to sit in and a white aisle runner was laid down and vases filled with hydrangea hung off of the aisleway chairs. Laurie was escorted down the aisle by her two sons and her daughter served as her Maid of Honor! Laurie's nephew officiated the ceremony, adding in a personal touch! Glitterfetti was thrown at the couple as they walked up the aisle was husband and wife for the first time. A delicious cocktail hour was set up in the space between the two tents and was lit perfectly with G40 string lights! Erin and Jason, from Synergetic, created the unique ceiling treatment for the reception tent and as the sun set, the lighting in the tent took over and wowed everyone! A few special touches were added to the reception, a screen with a slideshow of pictures was placed behind the bar and a fun faux chalkboard dinner menu was set in the front of the bar. Erin lent her tea set to the little girl's table adding a touch of whimsy to that table! The fabulous chandelier that was hung in the center of the tent belonged to the bride. Guests were treated to truffles as their favors and were able to grab a bag of candy from the candy buffet table! If you'd like to see a timelapse of the tent being set up, you can watch the video at the end of the post!
