Lilac and Laurel designed these one of .a kind invitations-water color perfection!

Jessica & Patrick at The Kimmel Center

Jess and Pat are two of the sweetest people we have met. We loved working with them and Jessica's family. They came to us needing help from start to finish and we enjoyed making it happen for them. After our initial consultation, we knew The Kimmel Center would be their prefect wedding reception space and from there the process unfolded. Enjoy!

This was my favorite part of the day! Such a sweet moment while not breaking in tradition of seeing the bride!

It rained, in fact it rained A LOT, but no matter the weather Jessica never stopped smiling!

Thank you Jessica and Pat for allowing us on this journey with you! We wish you all the happiness!

Nilou & Gerald at Water Works

10/5/2018

0 Comments

These two simply stole our hearts. From the moment we met Nilou and Gerald we knew this was going to be a wedding to remember. Nilou is a Broker/Realtor and CEO of Stage of Designs, Gerald is a Professional Basketball Player and together they are #Gilou, or in other words, perfect! Nilou knew what she wanted and we were happy to make it all happen for her, and Gerald too!

The weekend started with a Persian Ceremony to honor Nilou's Iranian heritage. It took place on the rooftop of Level 28, a super chic, semi private space atop AKA in University City. It is one of the sweetest ceremonies we have witnessed to date. They danced the night away to Persian music and enjoyed custom henna tatoo's.

The next day started bright and early with 15 plus ladies getting hair and make up done for the church ceremony to be held at Holy Trinity in Rittenhouse Square. After the ceremony we ventured over to Water Works for the reception.

Every party needs a little Hookah!

It was truly an amazing night filled with lots of love and endless surprises! Look for this wedding to be published in Philadelphia Wedding Magazine!

This family truly has my heart. We met them two years ago for Kelly's wedding and after the fact we all looked at each other and said, how are we ever going to top this wedding? Well, one year later and we did it! Amy and Stoney's wedding was a show stopper! From the sailcloth tent to the stunning design it was breath taking!

These two had the best time at their wedding, from singing with the band to dancing all night long-they never stopped smiling! We hope you enjoy this as much as we did!

5/19/18 may ring a bell as the wedding date of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, but they're not the only royal couple who tied the knot that day! Emily and Nick's Horticulture Center Wedding came together as the mini version of the Royal Wedding, taking place in Philadelphia during a semi-rainy day. Every piece of this wedding came together beautifully, including our personal favorite element, the AMAZING florals by Fresh Designs.

Selfie Saturday!

The Dream Team: A Bridal Party with our Favorite TV Characters

7/2/2018

0 Comments

Your bridal party is there to support you throughout the wedding planning process. What would be more fun than having it made up of the best characters on TV? From sweet and cheerful to strong and powerful, these ladies (and gentleman) would form one of the best bridal parties ever.

Olivia Pope - Scandal

Let's start this bridal party off with a bang. No sane individual would mess with Olivia Pope, so who better to take with you to meetings with vendors? If she can handle political scandals, then she can handle crazy caterers or intoxicated guests. She would give you her honest opinion no matter what, and she'd never let your wedding day be anything but perfect.

Jess Day - New Girl

You're going to need some lighthearted humor during the planning process, and Jess Day would be the perfect bridesmaid for that. She's goofy, quirky, and fun, and could make you laugh even after you feel insane from organizing the seating chart. She's also down to earth (which you need to be to live with three guys), so there's no possibility of a bridesmaid-zilla here.

Cam Tucker - Modern Family

Cam Tucker would be the best bridesman of all time, and probably the most committed. His larger-than-life personality and love of all things fabulous make him perfect for coming along to bridal appointments or picking out flower arrangements. Although he may forget from time to time that it's your wedding and not his, his dedication will pay off when you see how beautiful the big day is. And if he can deal with Lily's sass, he can deal with anyone.

Daenerys Targaryen - Game of Thrones

She may be a little intense, but you probably would be too if you were the Mother of Dragons, Breaker of Chains, the First of Her Name, the list goes on. Compared to what she's got on her plate, planning a wedding would be a piece of cake. Daenerys is loyal and fights for what she believes in, and you could use this trustworthy friend on your team. Plus, I'm sure she could give great tips on getting those awesome braided hairstyles.

Kimmy Schmidt - The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

Kimmy Schmidt would be a bright ray of sunshine throughout your engagement, there to help perk you up when you're feeling down. With her bright wardrobe and sayings like "goshdarn mommy fudger", Kimmy would't let you become discouraged by trouble finding the venue or rain on your wedding day. She could boost your spirits and help you through any tough situation with an optimistic outlook.

No matter who you choose to stand up there with you on your wedding day, choose people who love you and will go to any length to make this the best day of your life!

I am currently a senior at West Chester University of Pennsylvania majoring in Marketing. My love for planning events first started when I earned the position of Philanthropy Chair for my sorority. Since then, I have been involved with many events planned for my sorority and I love being given the responsibility to make everyone’s vision come to life. As I continue getting my Marketing degree at West Chester, I wish to pursue a career in event planning after graduation. Ever since I was in my first wedding as a flower girl, my love for weddings began and it will only build as I continue to learn throughout this new experience!

Sofia & Mark's Horticulture Center Wedding

4/30/2018

We always gush about the awesome couples who hire us. It's true, we get to work with wonderful people who trust us to make their day as special as they are. Sofia and Mark are no exception. We connected with Sofia's creative ideas and she and Mark's love of Cacti. And when I say love, I mean obsession. Their obvious venue choice was The Horticulture Center in Philadelphia. Honestly I'm not sure their wedding could have taken place at any other venue, it was perfect. Together with Papertini Floral they created a one of a kind design using Sofia and Mark's personal cacti collection. Check it out below!

Check out this bouquet-notice the cacti?!!!!

These two-both in tears reading the cards they wrote for one another-seriously the sweetest!

Dress custom designed by Priscilla Costa.

These shoes though! Ferragamo Fabulous!

This first look was exactly what a first look should be, natural and emotional!

They love cacti!!!!

Perfect lounge by Maggpie Vintage!

This was my favorite part of Sofia and Mark's wedding, a unity smoothie. It was something unexpected and perfectly them!

And then there was this instillation. Sofia and her mom created this beauty and Papertini placed it perfectly behind the head table. (if you want a paper instillation at your wedding-I know someone, she's crafty!)

And this cake was the perfect compliment to Sofia's design, seriously the coolest cake!
Cake Life you nailed it!

My final shout out goes to Hoffer Photography! Tony and Amy are masters at their craft and it shows in every image. Thank you Sofia and Mark, we had a great time getting to know you, your families and being a part of such a creative day! Best wishes!

Colin & Alex Front and Palmer Wedding

Colin & Alex were easily the most relaxed couple I had ever seen on a wedding day. They fully embraced their love for each other the entire day and knew that stressing about the everyday wedding-day concerns wasn't worth it, thats our job!
Even though there was a slight mist in the air, these two did not let it stop them from cruising around Philadelphia to get some great shots with Grace D Photography.

How adorable is their matching lining! The perfect touch!

We are so happy that Colin & Alex chose us for their wedding day! We wish them a lifetime of happiness and love!
