What's your wedding style?

Every couple has a different wedding style. This past weekend we watched as each bride and groom added their own unique touches to create the wedding of their dreams. On Friday Jweda and Juan had a fantasy fairytale reception with silver and blue accents, while on Saturday Maria and Alex incorporated Maria’s love of leopard print into their wedding. On Saturday evening, Courtney and Eric had a very classic palette which made for a very elegant and chic affair. On Sunday, Lacey and Mike used different shades of peach and purples to compliment the neutral tones of our ballroom.

The Wedding Forecast ...

What an exciting week Lisa, Patty and myself just had... We had the pleasure of attending a conference called the Wedding MBA in Las Vegas. The Wedding MBA conference is three days of the business side of weddings.... And for us wed-geeks! We loved every second of it! It was an absolute privilege to hear the speakers share their experiences, knowledge, tips, and trends with all of us! I personally loved the technology seminars put on by Sonny Ganguly from Wedding Wire! Absolutely amazing... don't worry girls we will be ready for the mobile revolution!

Patty, Carla Roney from The Knot, Lisa, And myself, Julie (... Pictured above). Carla gave wonderful seminar about the "10 Hottest Trends"... Don't worry girls! I will be sharing them with you very soon!

Kathy Ireland with Lisa! Yes that's right! Kathy Ireland from Kathy Ireland Worldwide was a speaker at the conference!!!!! and we even had the opportunity to meet her! She truly was everything they say about her... AMAZING!

Some of the other speakers we had the pleasure of listening to were... Andy Ebony from The Wedding Marketing Authority; Chris Evans, the President of Wed Pro Boot Camp; Perry Merry, author of The Best Wedding Reception Ever; and Tammy Elliot, President of the Perfect Wedding Guide.

I also want to give a special thanks to Chris Garrow from Unforgettable DJs.... Thank you for your advice during the technology seminars!

I already can't wait to go next year!!! Stayed tuned because I will be sharing what I learned with all of you!

In Favor of the Details ...

On this lovely Tuesday afternoon, I'm going to take a moment to revisit the oh so cute wedding details of this past weekend. Specifically... the favors. My love for every wedding detail is far beyond average and I can't wait to share the happy little details from three fabulous weddings. On Friday, Lindsay and Shawn's laid-back beachy bash had cute details such as sandy-topped wine stoppers for favors and I loved how their wedding cake was a smaller cake (for the cake cutting) surrounded with cupcakes for all their guests. On Saturday, Stephanie and David celebrated 9/10/11 by incorporating many of their cultural traditions into their wedding. Stephanie and David's guests were given little bags of tea as favors and beautiful orchid centerpieces topped the tables. On Sunday, the rain stopped just in time for Annmarie and Jason to get married at our beautiful black gazebo and as the party neared to a close, guests were given coffee mugs as favors... who wouldn't want that?!

Stephanie & David's favors ... "the perfect blend"

Labor Day Spectacular ...

There are a few things I anticipate more then Labor Day Weekend and with 4 uber-amazing weddings this past weekend … I was loving every moment!
To start the weekend off, Dana and Michael celebrated their love with a beautiful ceremony at our black iron gazebo and then partied the night away with family and friends. Guests enjoyed a photo booth and were able to take home a frame for their photo strip and a pint glass to toast to the married couple!
On Saturday afternoon, Cara and Robert’s navy & white theme perfectly represented this adorable couple’s chic and crisp style. The gorgeous navy bridesmaid’s dresses went perfectly with the groomsmen’s dress blues.
On Saturday evening, Dana and Joe sipped cocktails and enjoyed our gourmet specialties on our outdoor patio. The party continued in our Grand Ballroom as the sun set in the background. What a beautiful Saturday evening wedding!
On Sunday, Rosanna and Michael completed their beautiful garden ceremony with stunning sage green accompaniments. This was seen in their napkins, cake, bridesmaid’s dresses and flowers. They effortlessly combined the feel of a Labor Day backyard fete with a stylish soiree. The perfect end to Labor Day Weekend!
