What an incredible wedding day Liz and Michael had! The girls met in the morning at Bellmoor Inn in Rehoboth Beach, DE for hair by Bella Mia Hair Boutique and makeup by Make-Up and Love and then headed off to the ceremony. Though Mother Nature was being a bit indecisive, the wedding took place outside along the bay at Rehoboth Beach Country Club under just a little mist. Tracy from Bethesda Florist pulled out all the stops while decorating the ceremony and reception space. Then while guests were enjoying cocktail hour on the balcony, the father of the groom, Tony, scheduled a plane to fly by carrying a banner wishing Liz and Michael congratulations. It was a complete surprise to the newlyweds and all of their guests! After enjoying dinner the Doug Segree Band invited guests onto the dance floor for the rest of the night, only to take a short break to enjoy the cake made by family friend Dru Tevis. At the end of the night, guests jumped on the shuttles by Jolly Trolley and headed to the after party at the Greene Turtle on the boardwalk. We can't wait to see the photos from the couple's photographer, Michael Bonfigli, but until then, here are a few we got on our phones! Congratulations Liz and Michael! -Caitlin

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

Saturday was a gorgeous day for Katie and Rayvaughn's wedding! The day started with everyone getting ready at the Wingate by Wyndham Hotel in Voorhees, NJ. Your Day Your Way came early to do the makeup and hair for the girls, and they looked gorgeous! The bridal party then made their way to Lakeside Manor for the ceremony and reception. The Wedding Pastor, Andy Mahaney, officiated the ceremony, while Party of Three entertained guests with their beautiful music. Guests enjoyed a pretty view of the lake during cocktail hour. Everyone then moved inside to enjoy the food by McFadden's Catering and music by Joe, from DJs Available. Centerpieces, by Precious Petals, included pink gerber daisies and a pink vase. The day seemed to go too fast but thanks to Mike Landis Photography for capturing these stunning images. Congratulations Katie and Rayvaughn! We hope you are enjoying your honeymoon in Puerto Rico! -Annemarie

It's fun coordinating any wedding, but we have to say it's even more fun when we know the couple, so we couldn't wait for Katie and Matt's big day this past Saturday! After slipping into her beautiful lace strapless gown, Katie and her bridesmaids jumped in a limo and headed over to Talamore Country Club to meet Matt and the groomsmen for the first look. They were able to take advantage of the gorgeous grounds at the country club before heading over to United Methodist Church of Huntingdon Valley to say I do! Siena Strings played the processional and recessional songs which were all Beatles themed. After the ceremony, it was back to Talamore for the cocktail hour where guests got to mingle and fill out cute mad lib cards that the couple provided. The reception space was beautifully decorated with gold table runners and white floral centerpieces created by Willow and Thistle, along with mercury glass votives and slate table numbers that the bride rented from us. Chris from SEK Productions had all the guests dancing the whole night and guests only seemed to take breaks when getting their photo taken in the First Rate Photobooth. All of the fun was captured on film by Elijah from Well Spun Weddings and Jackie Bayne from Love Shack Photo, snapped away at all of the memorable moments from this fantastic wedding! Big thank you to Jackie for sending us so many teasers to choose from- we can't wait to share all of them!! -Caitlin

Saturday was an absolutely gorgeous day for a wedding. Kate was a stunning bride and you could feel all the love and happiness radiating from everyone around her! The bridesmaids were dressed in beautiful navy Jenny Yoo gowns and the groomsmen were very handsome in tan colored three piece suits with navy and green striped ties. Kate and Adam did their first look in the beautiful rose garden at Brandywine Park, followed by some bridal party pictures throughout the park. Their personalized ceremony took place at Westminster Presbyterian Church in Wilmington and their incredible tented reception was held on the bride's family's farm. The entire day was captured by David Campli Photography and CinemaCake. Gorgeous bouquets and florals were crated by Sweet Peas of Jennersville and were the perfect touch for this wedding. The delicious menu was created by Toscana Catering and after filling their bellies, guests headed to the dance floor for a night full of dancing thanks to All About Me. The bride and groom were surprised with and event painter and fireworks! It was a perfect day and I wish Kate and Adam all the best! -Becky

Juliet and Karl's Wedding

Even rain couldn't stop Juliet and Karl's wedding last July from being amazing! The couple had to change their original plans for an outdoor ceremony since Mother Nature wouldn't cooperate but the indoors space at the ACE Conference Center was a perfect backup plan for their ceremony. The altar was featured with a beautiful and simple Chuppah that was decorated with branches and simple flowers. The couple's ceremony was personal and touching. Their dogs, Brooklyn and Beckham, acted as flower girl and ring bearer and even walked down the aisle! They also chose to do a wine box ceremony- one of our favorites to include in a ceremony! Luckily the rain held off for a little while after the ceremony so that the couple and their bridal party (and the dogs!) were able to take some photos on the grounds. Their photographer was nice enough to take some other portraits of the bride and groom after the wedding on a nice, sunny day. The bridesmaids wore modern pink Lily Pulitzer dresses to match the wedding's color scheme of pink, white, and black, and their bouquets were white to pop next to the dresses. Food was an important part of their wedding, as they wanted their guests to remember the party and the food! The bride and groom cut into their cake that was fashioned to look like the bride's gorgeous dress and it was spot on! Guests were treated to a midnight snack of tomato pie, soft pretzels, and Rita's Water Ice and they were able to take "doggie bags" full of treats for their dogs at home. It was a huge hit! Juliet and Karl took some alone time during the reception to go outside to do a lantern send off and it made for some great photos! This was a great dancing crowd and they really enjoyed the music being spun by DJ AJ Santini. Proof that even a little rain can't ruin a great wedding day!!

Congratulations Juliet and Karl!
