Meredith and Dave's Wedding

Meredith and Dave's wedding this past January was our first of 2014 and what a gorgeous day they had! Prep for the day began in the morning at Hotel Monaco where Meredith and her bridesmaids were pampered and spent the morning relaxing. While Dave spent the morning getting ready at the home with his groomsmen. Meredith asked her bridesmaids to choose a black dress in their own choice of style which looked great with their wildflower bouquets. The bride's gown was a stunning 3/4 length sleeve lace gown that Meredith finished off with a simple veil and cute red shoes- she looked incredible! The couple chose to have a first look and it was so romantic and they were so happy to see each other. After a few photos it was time to make things official! The couple's personal and touching ceremony was officiated by a Reverend that had also married several of the bride's family members, including the bride's parents! After recessing down the aisle and getting ready to head over to cocktail hour, Dave asked Meredith to share in some alone time and the couple walked over to the reception by themselves. Over at The Down Town Club, tables were topped with different groups of flowers that featured curly willow, branches, and green and dark pink flowers. The table numbers were a floral design placed in gold frames to match the gold vessels that contained the centerpieces. Guests favors were chocolate truffles and were placed at each place setting to add to the decor of the room. As guests entered the ballroom, you could really start to feel the love in the room and see how happy all of the guests were for the newlyweds! Everyone packed onto the dance floor and danced the night away and right after the bouquet toss, the couple left the party to head back to the hotel on their own. Such a wonderful wedding from start to finish! 

Congratulations Meredith and Dave!

Katie and Bob's Wedding

Katie and Bob were married on Memorial Day weekend in a special ceremony officiated by two of Katie's family's friends. The couple met at Penn State and currently live in NYC together. They started the day in separate suites at the Loews Hotel with their bridal party. The girls were pampered with hair and makeup and when they were finished, they looked great! Katie's bridesmaids wore tea length cornflower blue dresses to match the wedding's color scheme. After they were dressed they helped Katie get into her gorgeous ivory drop waist gown that was covered in intricate beading and had a beautiful train. They kept things traditional and didn't see each other until Katie was headed own the aisle. They exited the church through a fun bubble sendoff before heading out into the city for pictures. They hit up all of the great spots in the city and then headed to cocktail hour. While all of this was going on, we were busy at work, getting all of the special touches in place before guests arrived. The main color scheme for the wedding was blue but since the couple was engaged in Ireland, they pulled in some green accents in their flowers. We created their invitations and their day-of stationery to match the color scheme and to follow their theme which was classic traditional with a modern flair. The mix of high and low centerpieces complemented the modern ballroom perfectly! Instead of a traditional favor for guests, the couple donated to Susan G. Komen Foundation in memory of Katie's mother. After guests enjoyed the absolutely delicious cocktail hour and dinner prepared by Cescaphe, it was time to let loose on the dance floor. Guests were dancing well into the night and when they wanted to take a quick break, you could find them outside smoking cigars or getting some dessert off of the delicious dessert display. 

Congratulations Katie and Bob!
