Aliza and Marc were married on a picture perfect Saturday at the Horticulture Center. The girls started at The Sofitel with hair done by the bride's friend, Timothy and makeup by MACK Stylist. After being pampered, Aliza got into her stunning gown and headed off to The Continental Mid-town for her first look with Marc. Pete of 217 Photography was on hand to capture the day and helped keep the couple at ease. We continued on with family pictures and then got ready for the ceremony, performed by the couple's friend, Daniel.  Once the couple was pronounced husband and wife, the guests moved into the greenhouse for cocktail hour where they enjoyed appetizers by Stephen STARR Events and a signature cocktail called "Georgia on my mind" in honor of the couple's dog. The space was beautifully decorated by Fleur De Lis and enhanced with lighting provided by Eventions Productions. Guests were treated to post dinner entertainment by a belly dancer and the party continued all night thanks to FM Band. It was a beautiful day and we had so much fun working with Aliza and Marc. We wish you all the best! -Becky

It was an unseasonably warm day for Jenn and Ed's wedding on Sunday. They began by getting ready at Normandy Farms. The girls looked gorgeous thanks to Hair by Meghan and Cheekadee Makeup Artists.

Then, it was time to party. The Silos Ballroom was transformed with candle centerpieces and uplighting from Willow and Thistle. The party truly got started when the bride and groom were introduced and led into the reception by Lion Dancers! Dynamic Crew kept the party going with a packed dance floor and photo booth. Guests enjoyed a late night snack of heart shaped pretzels and candy buffet, complete with a medical theme! Tyler Boye Photography captured the day and here is a beautiful preview picture.

We were so excited to be coordinating Kristen and Brad's big day, since Kristen is the younger sister of our very own Jen! The sun was shining in the morning when the girls headed to Fringe Salon for a morning of pampering before heading back to Kristen's parent's home to get dressed. They then headed around the corner to Our Lady of Good Counsel for their ceremony. After exiting the church to a bubble sendoff, they went off for photos at Bucks County Community College. The reception was held at Warrington Country Club and while they were off for photos we were setting up their cookie buffet. A bunch of their family members went above and beyond and made tons of cookies and cupcakes (that were a huge hit!) for the table! Mark from Synergetic Sound and Lighting had the dance floor PACKED all night long and Martin's Video was on hand to capture all of the fun on film. Briane from Artistic Imagery sent us a bunch of teasers and we chose these to show off- we can't wait to see the rest! Kristen and Brad it was so great working with both of you and your families and I wish you nothing but the best!! Congratulations! -Lisa

Saturday couldn't have been a more perfect day for Elyse and John's Great Gatsby garden themed wedding. After getting hair and makeup done by MACK Stylists and getting married at the beautiful St. Matthew's Parish in Conshohocken, the bridal party headed to Forbidden Drive for photos along the trail. Then it was off to the Philadelphia Cricket Club for the reception. Petals Lane turned the ballroom into a garden with lots of greenery and blue and white flowers. A leaf patterned ceiling wash and amber uplighting by Synergetic Sound and Lighting made guests feel like they were standing under trees out in the moonlight. After enjoying dinner, guests filled the dance floor and danced to music by Don Eaton Band and took a break to enjoy the cake by Bredenbeck's Bakery. Photographer, Chris Hensel, captured the sweet moments throughout the day, but until we can see those images, here a couple of our shots from this beautiful wedding! -Caitlin

When you're already friends with the couple and a large part of the guest list is wedding industry friends, there's no doubt that the wedding is going to be a blast. But when you toss in all the fun elements that Joy and Eric included, you get an adorable and unforgettable wedding day that completely stands out from the rest! Joy's dad's original (and now beautifully restored!) VW Bus was not only their mode of transportation, but it also served as inspiration for the decor of the event. The invites featured a bus, the place cards were tiny paper buses, the cake was a hood of a bus, kids colored on coloring book pages featuring Joy and Eric's adventures in the bus! They created everything themselves, including the paper florals and garland, as well as the red and white sangria that was served as their summery signature cocktail! Before the reception, The Wedding Pastor, Andy Mahaney, conducted a heartfelt and sweet ceremony in the side garden of Tokyo Restaurant, which was the fantastic venue with a delicious sushi menu of the couple's favorites. Jim from Synergetic Sound and Lighting did an awesome job keeping the dance floor packed all night! Jackie and Pat from Love Shack Photo were on hand to capture everything beautifully- they sent these awesome teasers, we can't wait to see the rest! Since it was the Fourth of July, we were also treated to a spectacular fireworks show and had some fun with sparklers! Joy and Eric's wedding was a great time, full of love and laughter- we wish them more of the same in the years to come! -Erin

Abby and Liam are such a sweet couple, so in love, and really wanted their family and friends to have a great time at their wedding. The girls started their day bright and early with hair and makeup from Michelle Mercado and Kristina Ruggerio and they all looked incredible. They were married in a traditional Catholic ceremony at St. Andrew's Church conducted by one of Abby's father's cousins, making it all the more special and personal. After exchanging their vows and exiting the church to cheering and clapping from their guests, they went off for photos with their bridal party. The reception was held at Springfield Country Club and the space looked incredible with the centerpieces created by Brittany from Petals Lane. After dinner, The Heartbeats played a killer two hour set and had everyone up on the dance floor and cheering for one more song at the end of the night! Cat and Al from BG Productions were on hand to capture all of the fun and sent us this gorgeous teaser. I got to see a few of the photos and can't wait to see the rest and share them with everyone! The party didn't end there, guests were able to grab a midnight snack that was a Philly Soft Pretzel before walking over to the after party held at Tavola's where everyone partied until the wee hours of the morning. Congratulations Abby and Liam! I hope you have a wonderful time in Italy and wish you both nothing but love, laughter, health, and happiness!! -Lisa

Kylie and Jared's stunning wedding was held Saturday at Cairnwood Estate. Every detail was planned to perfection and the couple added a lot of personal touches- from the bacon station at cocktail hour, to the funfetti cake and Penn State geared creamery station during the reception. Everyone got ready at Cairnwood and the girls looked lovely thanks to Jill from Up Your Do and Casey from Dylan Michael Cosmetics. Kylie and Jared shared their first look on the grand staircase and then walked the grounds for pictures together and with their bridal party and families. They had perfect weather for their outdoor ceremony and it was decorated with rose pomanders lining the aisle and altar arrangements by Valley Green Flowers and Gifts. Karen Spire Catering delivered a wonderful cocktail hour and dinner service and Mike from Synergetic Sound and Lighting kept the dance floor busy all night. The guys from Synergetic also added to the ambiance with uplighting, a dance floor wash, and string lights over the fountain and lounge area. Thanks to the gorgeous rentals from Maggpie Vintage Rentals, guests had a choice of different lounges to relax in and they were also treated to a bourbon and cigar bar later in the night. Rebecca Barger was there capturing the day and I cannot wait to see the images from this wedding. It was a perfect day with a gorgeous bride and groom and lots of love. Congratulations Kylie and Jared! We wish you all the best! -Becky

Ashley and Ryan's Wedding

Ashley and Ryan were married on a gorgeous day in October. They planned their traditional and classic wedding from Ohio, where they both reside. Ashley and her bridesmaids spent the morning at the salon getting their hair and makeup done before heading over to Cairnwood to get dressed. The bridesmaids beautiful red sweetheart neckline chiffon gowns were perfect for this fall themed affair! To add to the classic look, the groomsmen wore black tuxes with bow ties. Ashley's gown was a Pnina Tornai satin ruched gown that looked incredible on her! She chose to wear her hair down and swept off the side for a more glamorous look. The couple saw each other for the first time as Ashley walked towards Ryan in the church. After their traditional Catholic ceremony, the couple walked out of the church to the bubble send off, which made for some great photos! They then headed over to Cairnwood for photos with their bridal party. They used the sprawling grounds at the estate to get some great and fun photos! Upon guests arrival, they were greeted with a signature cocktail before heading in to enjoy a delicious food filled cocktail hour. Table assignments were placed in a frame that doubled as a favor and were placed around an arrangement filled with manzanita branches. For a fun fall touch, white pumpkins were placed on the cocktail tables as decoration. When it came time for the couple's first dance as husband and wife, we asked for guests to fill the Great Hall and watch the newlyweds romantic first dance. The couple wanted their guests to remember how much fun the reception was so the night was filled with lots of dancing. When guests weren't dancing, they were able to jump in the photo booth for a fun pictures! Check out the awesome highlight video from our friends at Tweed Weddings at the very end of this post!

Laura and Mark's Wedding

Laura and Mark were married last September in front of the family and closest friends. Laura and her bridesmaids spent the morning getting ready and getting dressed at her parent's house. The bridesmaids wore short fitted black dresses with yellow shoes and a yellow flower in their hair! A perfect little pop of color to match the wedding's color scheme. Laura's dress was a stunner with beading and intricate fabric flowers on the bodice and it fit Laura like a glove! Laura and Mark's traditional Catholic ceremony was personalized by their Priest when he spoke about how the couple met and fell in love. After the ceremony, the newlyweds and their bridal party headed over to The Old Mill for photos before cocktail hour. Guests enjoyed a cocktail hour that was filled with tons of food and drinks. The couple even treated their guests to a cigar and whiskey bar during cocktail hour- it was a huge hit! Tables were topped with gray pintuck linens and yellow napkins were placed at each setting. Instead of traditional table numbers, they put bottles of wine in burlap sacks that had the table number printed on them. Dinner was served family style and guests were treated to a root beer float station that was filled with different types of soda. The couple chose to forgo the traditional wedding cake and got a small cake and cupcakes for everyone! Everyone danced the night away and had a great time. As the party winded down and guests headed home, they walked the pathway that was lit with lanterns. This was done in memory of Laura's brother who passed away a few years earlier. A beautiful tribute at the end of an incredible day.

Congratulations Laura and Mark!
