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

2/21/2018

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!

Top Trends of 2018

2/9/2018

0 Comments

As soon as something becomes the "next big thing" in the wedding industry, it seems to show up everywhere. When you're planning your wedding so far in advance it may be tough to stay on trend.

Here's some of the top trends for 2018 and what trends have come and gone.

Top Trends:

Statement Escort Boards

Play up a fun wedding theme or let your personalities come out with your escort board! Guests will love the creativity and the fact that everything is "insta-worthy" doesn't hurt either.

Creative Bars

Another trend that hasn't gone out of style are creative food or drink bars. Everything is completely customizable and you can bring a unique vibe to any reception or cocktail hour.

Non-Traditional Venues

The days of being confined to a regular reception space are in the past. If that's what your vision is, there's nothing wrong with that but the world is your oyster. Backyards, museums, aquariums, libraries, even the great outdoors... nothing is off limits.

Understated Bouquets

Bridal Bouquets have been becoming more lush and understated for a few years but 2018 is the biggest year for them.

Translucent Tents

These tents give your wedding a chic, modern and clean vibe while also keeping your party safe from inclement weather... best of both worlds!

Trends to Avoid

Rose Gold Everything
this color is great in smaller quantities but going overboard... sooooo 2017

Overwhelming Food "Experiences"
While it's great to give your guests options, you don't want to overwhelm them or not have selections everyone will enjoy. Also waiting on lines is a huge bummer and takes time away from the party!

Large Bridal Parties
A trend we've seen happening over the years is that bridal parties are getting smaller. The average is now 4 bridesmaids and groomsmen. A great alternative is giving friends and family meaningful roles in the ceremony so they're still included!

Royal Wedding Copycats

Your wedding should be unique to you and your fiancé. Of course we all can't wait to see what Meghan and Harry's wedding will look like but the best thing to do is take inspiration from it. Expecting any wedding to look exactly like theirs or Will and Kate's is just unrealistic. Embrace your own taste and style!

Cassie and Luke's Barn Wedding

2/5/2018

2 Comments

Having a wedding at your family home is such a unique experience and it made Cassie and Luke's day even more special. The renovated barn in Pilesgrove, NJ was so picturesque it would be a surprise to anyone that it wasn't an actual wedding venue. We were here for Cassie's sister LeeAnn's wedding and couldn't wait to work with another member of the family! The weather was perfect and the party atmosphere didn't stop all night. Take a look at this amazing wedding!

The bouquets were a perfect match to the burgundy bridesmaids dresses.

The barn with the hanging greenery is everything!!

Thank you Cassie and Luke for letting us be a part of your special day!!

Kelly & Darios' Water Works Wedding

12/8/2017

1 Comment

This wedding is one I will never forget. From the moment we met, we clicked and the wedding planning began. First stop, Water Works, the best wedding venue in Philadelphia, in my professional opinion, and Kelly and Dario agreed. Enjoy this stunning wedding and the beautiful photography from Danfredo.

Stunning stationery from Love Leigh Invitations, this water color overlay is magical!

From our in house inventory we added these chair sashes for the aisle chairs and moved them to surround the head table-which was perfect!

This is why I love what I do. I presented Kelly with this dance floor and without hesitation she was on board. We set it on the diagonal for more interest and centered under the massive chandelier. Thanks to Bobby Morganstein for these beautiful pieces.

The perfect touches were these acrylic table numbers and place cards, small details that make a big impression.

We loved planning this wedding, getting to know this truly sweet couple and their families!
Congratulations Kelly & Dario!

Jen and Will's Wedding at The Logan

11/13/2017

3 Comments

So excited to share with you this beautiful wedding! Jen and Will thought of everything when it came to the planning of their July wedding In Philadelphia-even including their pup into the festivities! And when I say festivities, I mean a South Philly block party happening right outside your house, (hence the bouncy house). We had such a great time working with Jen, she was as organized as they come and happened to choose some of our most favorite preferred vendors! Check out these awesome pictures from Pat Furey!

A Garden Party's floral design brought Jen's entire vision to life! The hanging dance floor instillation was amazing and added the perfect softness to The Logan Hotel.

Thank you Jen & Will for letting us be a part of your day!!!

A Winterthur Museum wedding is one for the books. With so much history, this venue has a natural landscape that is easily one of the most tranquil locations to host your wedding. Rachel and Morgan knew this was their venue from the moment we took the tour. Their vision for a beautiful garden wedding was a reality, even with the rain! Lauren Fair captured this romantic wedding perfectly!

Congrats to Rachel and Morgan, we loved working with you throughout the planning process. We wish you all the best!

Kathryn & Andrews' Water Works Wedding

9/25/2017

1 Comment

It was such an honor to be a part of this wedding. Depending on our level of involvement of weddings, we often work with not just the couples, but their families as well. When we first met Kathryn's family, we instantly fell in love. Not only are Kathryn and Andrew amazing people with hearts of gold and a really crazy "meet cute", but their families are just as inspiring.
We truly enjoyed being a part of this planning process and sharing in this journey. We are pretty sure the gorgeous pictures from M2 Photography below will give you all the details.
(Also, scroll all the way to the bottom to see the awesome video by Squareware Studio to get a first hand account of their meet cute.)

Seriously, the sweetest moment with the flower girl and her aunt, the bride.

Sisters

We wish Kathryn & Andrew a lifetime of happiness! Thank you for choosing us to be a part of your planning! And thank you to your families for making this one of our favorites to date!
