Eat, Drink and Be Married …

This weekend was the perfect ending to the month of June, as well as, the perfect start to summer! With three fabulous weddings, there is so much for me to blog about! The weekend kicked off with Jennifer & Seth’s and Nicole & Joe’s wedding receptions on Saturday. Some of my favorite summertime details were incorporated into these weddings. On Saturday afternoon, watermelon pink was dispersed throughout Jennifer & Seth’s reception. This bright and tropical color was seen in their napkins, flowers, bridesmaid dresses, even in their cake! Their signature drink was one of my favorite summertime drinks, a Malibu Bay Breeze. It really makes me think of the Jersey Shore. They also enhanced their dessert with a chocolate fountain. …yummy! On Saturday evening, Nicole & Joe continued the summertime theme. Before arriving at the EM, they took pictures at the beach, then came here to get the party started! Place cards were designed to look like beach badges and ice cream scoops were given out as their favors. AMAZINGLY CUTE! On Sunday, the fun continued with Francine & Kevin’s wedding reception. Their signature drink was another summertime favorite, a Raspberry Mojito. Their guests also enjoyed a candy bar and a photo booth from Elite Entertainment! So much fun!

A Day of PhVusion ...

On Monday, Lisa and Julie participated in the PhVusion workshop here at The English Manor. They were so happy and excited to show everything they learned throughout the day, that Julie put together an Animoto video of everything Lisa and herself captured! Take a look!

Details, Details, Details ...

Everyone knows I’m obsessed with all the pretty little details that go into each and every wedding and this weekend was no exception. Tiffaney & Ben’s, as well as, Lisa & Mike’s weddings provided me with so many drool worthy details for me to go gaga over!

On Friday, Tiffaney and Ben’s wedding reception was totally vintage inspired! Lace overlays, vintage books and bottles, a fountain cake, and a handcrafted guest book and favors all contributed to the old-world theme. It really was one of the most charming weddings I have ever seen!

On Saturday, Lisa and Mike’s wedding reception was full of fun details. The use of pale pink was incorporated throughout their reception from their table runners to centerpieces. I absolutely loved how Lisa provided the ladies room with a jar of mints, proclaiming “mint to be” and the rain didn’t hinder their guests from dancing the night away … flip flops were provided for those who were ready to kick off their heels! Take a look at some of the pictures we were able to capture of Lisa & Mike on our grounds…

Springing into Summer ...

This past weekend we celebrated three beautiful weddings! Friday kicked off with Brandi and Jordan's wedding ceremony and reception, Saturday followed with Jaime and Roman's and the weekend concluded with Nicole and Mark!

Each wedding had its own personal and unique touches and I am so happy that Mother Nature remained calm and the weather was beautiful! My favorite touch from Brandi and Jordan's reception was their wedding favors, which were little bags of gourmet coffee proclaiming "The Perfect Blend"... I loved this fun play on words! Flowerful Events provided their gorgeous centerpieces. On Saturday, Jaime and Roman's cocktail hour was to die for! They enhanced their cocktail hour with our raw bar ... it was a major hit with all their guests! I also loved their centerpieces, which included hanging lanterns. It provided the perfect ambiance for an evening wedding. Nicole and Mark also added something special to their cocktail hour... a steel drum player! (I am definitely saving this idea for when I get married). This really provided a great summer time feel!

Here's some pictures from this past weekend!
