Dawn & Pete's Wedding

Upon meeting Dawn and Pete, I knew we'd have great chemistry! They are a fun, laid back couple that loves the little details as much as I do! I was psyched to work their wedding and be a part of such a perfect day!

If the groom looks familiar, you may recognize him because he's Pete, the owner of First Floor Films...one of my favorite local vendors! His videography and photography is awesome!!! I was referred to this couple by their friends, Jessica and Andrew, whose wedding I coordinated in November.

Pete and Dawn have been best friends for.ev.er. Nearly 20 years! They were in homeroom together in high school and finally decided they were "meant to be" a few years ago..... The rest, as they say, is history!
I checked on the couple before they had their big "reveal" meeting at the Sheraton Society Hill...everyone was very serene and excited for the big day to begin!

Then, then everyone embarked on a trolley ride for an urban photo shoot around Philiadelphia's 4th of July celebration!
The ceremony and reception were held at the gorgeous Bartram's Gardens. We lucked out with great weather even though the forecast was calling for scattered showers!
We did her programs, menus, and assorted other paper goods to match her preppy lime and pink color palette. Everything matched the centerpieces by Monday Morning Flowers- the reception looked fresh, vibrant and very fun!

The cake, by the always phenomenal Cakes By Suzy, tasted as awesome as it looked!

The catering, by Shackamaxon, was positively delicious!

Pete and Dawn's wedding was so wonderful...everyone partied like rockstars 'til the bitter end. A fantastic time was had by all thanks to DJ Mike Scott from Superior Sound, he was awesome!

A huge thanks to Siobhan from Dollface Studio.... as seen in these photos above, her work is stunning and she's a total joy to work alongside. We had a really great time together and I'm so fortunate to be working with her a bunch this year!

Another giant plus...I got to meet the amazing Jennifer Childress, who was attending the wedding as a guest, but still managed to take some gorgeous photos, too. Check them out on her blog here. She was really fun- I can tell we'll work together perfectly :P

Anywho...my heartfelt congratulations go out to Dawn and Pete and I hope they are enjoying a much deserved break on their Costa Rican honeymoon right now!!

Priscilla & Garry's Invitations

Priscilla chose a gorgeous shimmery pocketfolder in pearl with a backing of cranberry linen- the paper has such great, rich, texture! We added crystal embellishments on both the outer monogram tag and the invitation face. They are positively beautiful!!

Janet & Chris' Wedding

Janet has been down in the trenches, planning every dirty detail of her dream wedding for many, many, months! I am so fortunate to have been part of their day- too see every plan come to fruition is so rewarding and the 2nd top reason I love my job. The 1st reason is because my brides become friends. I love Janet like we've known eachother for years and was so happy she got the perfect day (week) she deserves!

The bridal party started the festivities at the Henlopen Hotel, drinking champagne, getting gorgeous and sharing many laughs!

The bouquets, by Bayberry Flowers, were absolutely beautiful and exactly what Janet wanted!
Then over to Cape Henlopen State Park for a pre-ceremony photo shoot and bride & groom "meeting" at the water's edge.


The wedding ceremony took place on the beach at Surf & Park Avenues in Rehoboth. It was a perfect day.
The ceremony was beautifully officiated by Reverand Andy Korcich, it was a fabulous debut! Everything was perfect....except for the guy with the metal-detector who decided right behind our altar would be the perfect place to search for treasure ;)
Janet was a very considerate bride, having us make program fans to help stave off the heat and offering her guests flip flops and water bottles at the beach. The weather was glorious!
wow! what a radiant bride!
This amazing sand castle was the masterpiece of Randy Hofman. The guests were floored to see it and talked about it all night!
After the ceremony, family formals were super quick so Janet and Chris were able to do a few photos on their own.
The reception was held at Salero on the Beach. The view is breathtaking, the service is excellent and the food... delicious!
We DIY'd Janet's centerpieces and they looked great in the room! It was so beachy and romantic!
I loved her placecards. My very favorite detail of the day! (and we know how I like details!)
Gorgeous cake by Giant and Gam

The bouquet/garter toss was so hilarious- this crew was really fun!

The party lasted all night and into the wee hours, I can vouch-everyone had an awesome time!I cant even begin to explain how much I love this couple. They are loads of smiles and fun and made my job a blast! I wish them nothing but happiness in the years to come!

Janet and Chris hit the motherload when they hired Rob Nicholson of Humbled Eyes Photography. To say he was phenomenal is the understatement of the century!! He's so talented and chill and so much fun to work with. He's totally hands-off, quick with the posed formals and very charming- I wish I did more beach weddings because I'd book him every weekend! As you can see, these photos are positively stunning. Rob ROCKS and his second shooter, Misty Dawn, was awesome, too! If you havent yet hired a photographer, be sure to check him out- you won't be disappointed! He's fantastic- highly recommended!!!!

Michelle & Brian's Wedding Invitations

Michelle and I have been working on these invites for quite some time....now that they are completed, they were worth every second! They are stunning! She used a mix of shimmer and matte papers and a crystal embellishment. I'm sure her guests will be quite impressed!
We'll be using her monogram on her ceremony programs and other paper goods. I cant wait to see everything come together!

Michelle & Dan's Wedding Invitations

I have the pleasure of coordinating Michelle & Dan's wedding this coming August. When she mentioned she was doing a damask and hot pink wedding, I knew exactly what I wanted her invitations to look like! She is so sweet to let me run with it and she absolutely loved the outcome!
I also put together a sample program to show them how all their paper items would coordinate,
me+black&pink=true love forever :P

Nancy and Abel's Invites

My dear friend, Laura, referred her new cousin-in-law to me for wedding invites! Nancy is getting married to Abel in Los Angeles this summer and I was psyched to help her with her vision! She's doing a vintage spanish theme and we used roses and gold gems to tie it all together! I think the look of chocolate and cherry is just gorgeous!

Pamela and David's Invitations


Pamela wanted a very sleek, stylish wedding invitation. Since she's centering her "theme" around dendrobium orchids, we went with a fresh, limey green backing and clean, white face.
Instead of response envelopes, we did a coordinating postcard. They looked great!
