Taboo Topic ...

To see each other prior to your ceremony? … More and more brides are breaking the old superstition that it is bad luck! This past weekend Megan and Ryan saw each other prior to their ceremony! Why are so many brides doing so…

1. You can get some really great meet-n-great pictures!
2. You can get all your family, bridal party etc pictures while you are fresh faced!
3. You can actually go to your cocktail hour!

Are you traditional or non-traditional?

Live Strong ....

With much thought and consideration, the happy couple has chosen a special way to say “thank you” for sharing in the celebration of their commitment to one another.

In lieu of traditional favors, they have made a generous donation in honor of their guests to LIVESTRONG.

MAY YOU FEEL A SENSE OF HAPPINESS KNOWING THIS CONTRIBUTION WILL SUPORT THE LIVESTRONG MISSION TO INSPIRE AND EMPOWER PEOPLE AFFECTED BY CANCER.

The saying above was given out with a yellow LIVESTRONG bracelet to all of our recent newlywed’s, Stephanie and Mark, guests! I thought it was such a beautiful favor! For those of you that don’t know… LIVESTRONG is an organization that fights to improve the lives of those affected by cancer.

Ah, pink. A life-long love for pink can become a building block for a wedding theme… like many other colors! However, for the wedding day of Elizabeth and John, pink was at its core! Pink is the softer side of red, a universal color of love and denotes romance! So why not color your wedding Pink!?

Their wedding cake wrapped with pink flowers.
Pink also made an appearance for their napkin color, the bride’s maid dresses,
and as rose petals on the tables!
Congratulations to Stephanie & Mark and Elizabeth & John!!!

Fall into Love...

This weekend we celebrate the marriage of Kerri and Derek. The couple said I do in Brooklyn and then headed to The Rosewood for their fall inspired celebration. The newlyweds selected a sweet and seasonal signature drink….Apple Cider! Yummy! And continued with a bottle of sweet maple syrup as their favors. The leaf motif of the bottle went perfectly with their autumn theme. Kerri and Derek also had an amazing three-tiered wedding cake that screamed autumn!!!
