This wedding was another long one in the making - with the help of all the amazing vendors, it was one to remember! 

I mean, who doesn't love a beach wedding? The design was chic and modern with black, white and acrylic aspects throughout. The florals or both the Ceremony and Reception were incredibly dreamy with a neutral color palette and subtle hints of summer. The bride completely rocked an off-white dress and a mouth-watering floral veil, while her bridal party was the ones rocking the white! So unique and fun, just like the couple!

Congratulations Morgan and David - we wish you a lifetime of happiness and many more smiles and laughs!

It's August 5th, 2021 and an email comes in describing one of the coolest ideas for a wedding we've heard but, the date is for October 2021.
Two months time.
Two months time in the craziest year the wedding industry has seen in the 10 years we've been in business! So, of course we said, "Hell yeah! Let's do this!"
Eryka and Lanny's favorite vacation ever was a trip they took to Tanzania and went on safari. And, in a world that didn't involve the dreaded COVID, they would have hosted their wedding at a safari resort with their families and friends. And, well, since we all don't know that world anymore, they decided to bring a safari to Long Island, NY. 
On a private property, in the middle of Huntington, NY with 2 months to prepare we had a ceremony in an old amphitheater, cocktail hour in a man-made stone "house", tipi tents, 6 vintage land rovers to escort guests around the property (ya know, like safari vehicles), a zebra and camel in the brush so that when guests were in their vehicles moving around the property, they drove past the animals like they were on safari. 
This was a really fun one to design and plan. 
Most importantly, thank you to the incredible vendors who were miraculously available and willing to jump in feet first with us - you're the real ones!

Where do we event start?
​Should we begin with the first 2 weddings we planned during the COVID era, or just hop right on in with the 3rd & 4th one? Sometimes the fourth time around is absolutely the charm!
When we met Brianna and Conor, we toured so many gorgeous venues in NYC that offered blank spaces that we could make into whatever we wanted.  Brianna did not want a traditional ballroom and bring the first one in both of their families to get married, they wanted the venue to be fun and speak to their energetic and curious nature. So, after seeing all of the venues, they finally settled on Pier Sixty in Manhattan. The views alone could sell anyone - you don't get a lot of that in NYC. June 2020 here they come...
just kidding.
So, like so many other couples we pushed to August of 2020. Surely, things will be cleared up by then. And then not so much. So, we waited and made no moves for a while. Waiting to see how the city and the pandemic played out. 
With luck on their side, we were able to secure Hempstead House at Sands Point on Long Island for September 4th, 2021. The absolute gorgeous mansion on the Long Island Sound. But, wait, ceremony was still taking place at Fordham University. It's where the two of them met and one of the most special places in their lives. With Fordham University being in the Bronx, we tried to plan for every possible hiccup with moving 175 people from the Bronx to Long Island on Labor Day weekend. 
And then - there's more. The week of the wedding, everything was feeling like a lot of moving parts and Conor's parents were nervous about moving that many people all around New York City so, we planned the 4th version of the Woodward/O'Shea wedding. Small family ceremony at Fordham University followed by a ceremony now taking place at Hempstead House for the 175 guests who were no longer going to make the trek to the Bronx.
The fourth time was definitely the charm. It needed to happen the way it happened. The day was absolutely perfect and we can not imagine it any other way. 
​
990 Days from when we started all of this planning, Brianna and Conor were finally able to say, "I Do"!

Meera and Karthik had their Reception at Renault Winery in Egg Harbor, NJ - with a beautiful Peach, White and Silver color pallet. The Cocktail Hour was full of fun furniture, games and activities, a beverage cart with fresh White Claws and delicious food! The Reception was romantic and beautiful!  One of my favorite design aspects was the Sweetheart Stage - the mixture of candles, dripping florals and the luscious furniture - they were sure to be the center of attention. 

We had a lot of custom designs for this Reception - from the Welcome Sign, Cake Stand, Menus and Place Cards to the Mirror Escort Board. The signage and stationery was super fun to design - a mixture of Peach and Silver with a hint of florals throughout all of the signage. One of my favorites!

My absolute favorite part of the entire day / night was the dancing - first Meera and Karthik had a slow dance which turned into a pump up, then the groomsmen preformed followed by the bridesmaids. We had a few more special dances - the family, family and friends as well as a few more from the Bride and Groom! Such a fun and entertaining night! 

Let's go back!

It was an absolute pleasure and I'm excited to see this couple again, as I'm planning their brothers wedding in the Spring! Stay tuned for that one!

There were so many special moments throughout this day,
but being able to share this day with their son, Tristan, made it extra special for everyone.
-
There was never a question choosing this wedding venue! From our first meeting with Tighler she knew she wanted to transform her childhood home into a day and night in Capri (and that is exactly what we did!). Designing this backyard wedding was for sure a highlight of 2021.

As you entered the poolside cocktail hour you were surrounded by vines and greeted with Prosecco, while the rest of the night was filled with pizza, gelato, limoncello & Frank Sinatra. Tighler and Trent, we loved being apart of your special day!

If you look close you can almost smell the fresh lemons .. happy reading!

I (Meghan here) met Elana back in 2015 at her cousin's wedding we had the pleasure to plan. Fast forward a few years to 2018 and another of Elana's cousins got married and we had the pleasure of being a part of that wedding as well.  It was also that wedding when I got to meet Michael.  So, when we got the call from Elana and Michael to be a part of their day, we were so extremely excited to plan another fabulous wedding with this awesome family (LIKE, THE BEST) !!!

And then 2020 happened. 

Elana and Michael's original date was August of 2020 and after much consternation over all of the unknown, they choose to push to the same weekend in 2021.  2020 and the beginning 2021 gave us all a run for our money but, Elana and Michael were stedfast in moving forward and always kept a positive outlook on it all. 

Even when on their day it looked like the sky was going to open from the moment the sun came up to when the sun went down, they stayed completely positive and enjoyed every minute of their day! 

It was such a fun weekend filled with awesome family & friends! Thank you for letting us be a part of it all!

Victoria and David were supposed to get married at The Horticulture Center, but because of COVID restrictions, the couple wanted to swap it to their backyards, and we were totally down! We got the dream team together and started creating their backyard wedding from scratch until a piece of land turned into the ultimate wedding venue!

The Ceremony was at the front of the house, the driveway being the aisle and guests sitting under the coolest umbrellas. Cocktail Hour was by the pool in the backyard, filled with high and low tables, Philadelphia String Quartet floating in the pool and tons of food and drinks! The Reception was in their large piece of yard behind the house in the most amazing Sailcloth Tent. This set-up kept an element of surprise in between each transition, it was awesome!

Some amazing design elements that completely transformed this house wedding; unique ceremony on the platform, everything about the cocktail hour, the V + D seating chart, the dance floor ceiling with awesome lighting and florals, the white round bar at the entrance and the champagne entrance / candy bar wall exit. 

Without further ado, let's check out this amazing backyard wedding!

Jennifer and Brian called us to plan / design their micro-wedding which was held at Globe Dye Works with awesome lounge furniture and a few of the most important (14) people in attendance. The Reception was at their Residence in PA, with a touch of twinkle lights, florals and AMAZING mid-century modern rentals, this was the most amazing micro-wedding! Something about it being small and personal, made the love seem all the more grand! 

Everything was so unique and beautiful, absolutely perfect for the couple! Get excited to share it with you...

​Here we go!

This personal Ceremony at Globe Dye Works was everything! The guests sat on funky lounge sets, while the couple stood in front of an awesome brick wall! 

Awesome photos by Viva Love! Is anyone else obsessed with these smiles? So genuine!

Absolutely obsessed with this Mid-Century Mod Table Scape with a touch of spring! The food was family style food on the risers, so all of the guests could help themselves! This set-up was so intimate and fun! The combination of Sue Davis on Florals and Lighting, Chef Missy with the amazing food and Kyle Michelle with the Design, it was a knock-out!

SO yummy!

Absolute bliss! Congratulations to Jennifer and Brian on the most beautiful and meaningful wedding! We wish you all of the best!

AHHHH what a dream!​ Our client, Amanda, reached out a few months ago wanting a Baby Shower based off the novel, 'Le Petit Prince' and boy, did we give it! This private residence was the absolute perfect location and everyone felt like they were on a patio in France. The design was light blue, white and gold with pops of red roses (based on the book).
~
We had Philadelphia String Quartet, Bubbles and Brews, a life size Welcome Sign Book, live-sketch artist, favors imported from France, and an 8' frame designed by Jennifer Designs and I for a great photo-opp!
~
I want to reminiscence this Event every single day! Let's start scrolling....

This book designed by DFW and I is insane!!! This brought the book theme to life and they are going to re-use it in the nursery or play room! Obsessed!

Every guest got a True or False Game, Guessing Game and Over and Under Game, with name tags and a pen in the cutest bread basket!

12th Street Catering killed it!

Now this is a photo-opp! Thank you White Glove and Jennifer Designs!

Chloe Helms sketched away the day and gave the guests each a sketch of themselves! This was such a cool element for the day!

This was an absolute pleasure planning and we're so excited to plan some more!
