Inspired By This …

This weekend was the ideal ending to the month of May (and unofficial start of summer :)). It was just a completely delightful weekend, which can be attributed in part to the warm weather … perfect for an outdoor cocktail hour or ceremony.

To end the month on an “inspirational” note, I’ve decided to name one detail from each of the three weddings from this past weekend that I thought was full of personality and inspiring for all couples planning their upcoming wedding reception.

On Friday, Denise and Dan had a “guest board” for all their friends and family to sign with their well wishes in lieu of a guest book. I thought this was an amazing idea because Denise and Dan were actually married in Las Vegas and the “guest board” was a life size picture of their Vegas nuptials… I loved it!

On Saturday, I was obsessed with Diane and Bernie’s idea to have the local fire department bring their big yellow engine for pictures (we do things a little differently at the Jersey Shore … instead of red trucks, we have yellow). Bernie was a Jersey City fireman, so Diane not only arranged to have pictures with the local fire engine, but she also surprised Bernie with a customized ice sculpture of a fireman. I’ve provided some pictures for you all to see of their outdoor photo session!



On Sunday, Chrissy and Dominick blended both the beach and gardens together for their wedding reception. The result was summery and light! The oranges and pinks in the beautiful centerpieces brightened the Ballroom, but my favorite detail was the incorporation of starfish. For example, their place cards were starfish with their guests’ names attached … it all just made me want to grab a refreshing glass of lemonade!
