The rain cleared just in time for Laura and Emil to tie the knot Saturday in a rustic chic wedding. The day started with a ceremony at Saints Agatha and James Church in West Philly and ended at the Horticulture Center in Philadelphia's Fairmount Park. Their wedding was a blend of Laura's Panamanian heritage and Emil's Italian heritage and hosted guests from both countries and over 16 different states. Theresa Floral Design decorated the spaces with lots of vintage bud vases and antique lanterns and the tables had beautiful wood table numbers that the couple rented from us. Starr Events created a lavish spread of meats and cheeses, short ribs, salmon, and several mini desserts to choose from. The ombre cake was created by Bredenbeck's Bakery. Eventions Productions lit up the dance floor with market lights and guests danced all night to the music from Elan Artists- Rhythm Collective. At the end of the night, everyone headed back to the hotel for an afterparty! Jen Woodruff from JW Studio captured great shots throughout the day and we can't wait to see them, but for now, here are a few of our snapshots. -Caitlin

The rain faded away and the sun came out for Tara and Sean's special day. The girls started the day at Novello Salon for hair and makeup- everyone looked beautiful!

Truc and Tuan's wedding day started with a Vietnamese Tea Ceremony held at the bride's parents' house. The wedding party were dressed in their Ao dai and, following the ceremony, guests enjoyed a delicious luncheon of traditional foods. Once the tea ceremony was complete, the wedding party changed into gowns and tuxedos and headed to St. Helena's Church for a Catholic wedding ceremony. All eyes were on the stunning bride as she processed to her groom and there were even a few tears shed during their sweet vows. Afterwards, we took some fun photos in the city with our amazing photographers Sam Hassas and Tony Hoffer, and awesome film crew from Tweed Weddings. Then, the gang arrived at Vie and were spoiled rotten by the Cescaphe Event Group- so much yummy food and cocktails to choose from! The room looked incredible thanks to the floral designs of Petals Lane, and the guests had a blast dancing to tunes spun by Binh of Silver Sound Entertainment and posing in the photo booth by Chariot. It was a long, great day full of love, laughter and fun and we were thrilled to help Truc and Tuan's wedding dreams come true! Congrats to a wonderful couple! -Erin
