Memorial Weekend Celebrations!

I'm sure everyone is dying to hear all the lovely details from this past weekend's four weddings (and Josephine's 100th birthday celebration!!!). On Friday, Kristin & Eugene had the cutest favors. Homemade and scrumptious ... Eugene's grandmother did a fabulous job making their chocolate favors. Guest also enjoyed the music of a steel drummer during cocktail hour. On Saturday afternoon, Lauren and Dan enjoyed a warm and sunny cocktail hour and along with their wedding cake, Lauren was surprised with a gluten free cupcake tower (made by Enticing Icing). On Saturday evening, Minerva and Nick's guests enjoyed a surprise performance from a mariachi band ... it was enjoyed by all! Sunday afternoon continued with Josephine's 100th birthday ... can you believe it?! It was truly a momentous occasion to be enjoyed by all! The President and Governor even sent letters of congratulations! That Sunday evening concluded with Danielle and Allen's ceremony and reception. Their centerpieces were stunning and I loved the touches of pink. Guests enjoyed dancing till the night was over!

Bursting with Beauty and Excitement!

What can I say? Another great weekend has flown by and as always I am ready to share all the great details. First off ... Nancy has been busy planting our gardens with beautiful flowers! This weekend was just bursting with beauty and excitement! On Friday, Megan and Tim really wowed their guests from the start. Their cocktail hour was enhanced with a mashed potato bar complete with 9 fixings and guests could sip on a lemon drop martini ... Megan & Tim's signature drink. On Saturday afternoon, Jennifer & Anthony incorporated a peacock theme into their reception. This was seen on the place card table and in their wedding cake. It added a real touch of pizazz! Saturday evening concluded with Kristen and Drew’s wine themed reception. Kristen’s mom made all the wine bottle centerpieces and the cute cork place card board herself! (See the pictures below). On Sunday, Karen and Matthew had a beautiful ceremony and reception. I really liked how Matt was blindfolded for their "first look" and when Matt took his blindfold off and saw Karen in her stunning gown, their photographer captured the moment … it was so sweet!

Married in May ...

This past weekend, we had another fabulous series of gorgeous weddings. On Friday, Heather and Will had the cutest idea ... each table had a different name of a song and throughout the night the DJ played each table's song. It was a crowd pleaser! On Saturday afternoon, Chrissie and Paul had their ceremony at Avon beach and continued the beach theme throughout their reception. The weather couldn't have been more perfect for a fun and festive jersey shore fete! On Saturday evening, Kelly and Anthony brought in their own centerpieces designed by the bride herself! They were mini calla lilies in vases filled with water which had candles floating on top. Sooo pretty! Their wedding cake also cascaded with beautiful flowers.

Take a look at some of the pictures from this past weekend below!

What an exciting weekend we had here at The EM celebrating four amazing weddings! Friday kicked off with Tara & Todd’s wedding, Saturday followed with Jessica & John’s afternoon wedding and Kerri & Carlos’ evening reception and the weekend concluded with Barbara & Richard on Sunday!

Each wedding had its own personal and unique touches and I am so excited to share some details from each wedding! Take a look below …
