Proud to Plan

Renee and Joe's October wedding was such a fun, romantic day and really reflected what a great couple they are! Renee and her ladies started their day in a suite at Hotel Monaco which makes such a colorful background for photos. Her bridesmaids wore red dresses in different styles that fit in perfectly with the wedding's retro and classic theme. Renee's wore a beautiful retro looking Melissa Sweet gown and chose a half up hair do- she looked fantastic! The chose to keep their first look intimate and kept it just to themselves. Joe was elated to see his gorgeous bride and couldn't stop saying how incredible she looked! He gave his bride a pearl necklace that belonged to his mother which was an emotional and romantic touch. After stealing a few kisses, they headed off to meet their bridal party for photos. Meanwhile, setup was underway at The Down Town Club for their ceremony and reception. The ceremony was set in a semi circle with an aisle runner that featured the LOVE statue in red with the couples names and wedding date on it. Ivory to red ombre rose petals lined the aisle and to add some romance, tall hurricane candles were placed along the aisle as well. Their ceremony was personal and meaningful since it was officiated by a friend of the couple. The couple remembered Joe's parents by placed two chairs in the front row in their honor. Another personal touch was when they had one of their groomsmen sing a song. When the ceremony was over, the guests were greeted with tons of delicious hors d'oeuvres and drinks and the couple hired a Benjamin Franklin impersonator to entertain everyone! The new Mr and Mrs entered the ballroom with a lot of energy and Cescaphe fired off rose petal canons- guests absolutely loved it! Their first dance was a choreographed tango routine and they did a great job with it. Guests were able to have fun in the photobooth that the couple's photographer provided. One of the biggest hits of the reception was the cell phone charging station that Renee and Joe set up- such an awesome touch! Everyone danced well into the night and celebrated this wonderful couple.

Congratulations Renee and Joe!

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
