Shay and Aramis' Wedding

Shay and Aramis were married last September in front of their family and closest friends. The couple kept things traditional and didn't see each other before the ceremony but gave each other love notes to open before getting dressed. They had Aramis' son, Christian, deliver the letters and it was adorable. We absolutely LOVE that a lot of couple's have been doing this- it's a great way to start your big day and not to mention, a great photo op! Aramis and his groomsmen looked handsome and dapper in their classic black tuxes, and the bridesmaids looked gorgeous in long blush pink chiffon gowns. Shay chose to wear two gowns. Her first gown for the ceremony and first part of the reception was a stunning off white ballgown complete with a rhinestone belt! Shay wore her hair down for a more casual look and finished it off with a simple style long veil. You could see the excitement and happiness in the couple's faces as Shay walked down the aisle to meet Aramis. Their Catholic ceremony was filled with personal touches! After they kissed and recessed down the aisle, the couple and their bridal party went to Gibraltar Gardens for photos before heading over to the reception for cocktail hour. The reception tent was decorated to match the neutral color scheme of the wedding. Lots of lush centerpieces filled with cream and ivory flowers were placed on the tables and the florist also hung string lights from the ceiling to add some warmth to the tent. The most romantic point of the day was when the couple shared their first dance to Adele's "One and Only", there wasn't a dry eye in the house! After dinner, this dancing crowd hit the dance floor to the music spun by Matt from Synergetic. The couple requested a lot of Spanish songs and the guests loved it! They cut their cake and then Shay went to change into her second gown. It was a bohemian styled dress with an open back and she wore a headband to complete the look! The couple danced the night away before heading back to the hotel for an after party.

Congratulations Shay and Aramis!

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!

Congratulations Laurie and Bob!
