Yesterday, I posted about Stephanie and Andy’s ceremony. Today, I’m posting all about the reception.

For the escort card, the bride chose some flowers emerged in water with floating candles on top.


A DIY Queen, Stephanie made all of the escort cards. I loved the flowers attached to the corner of each card.


Guests enjoyed the cocktail hour on the balcony.


The couple made their guestbook with photos from their life together.


The ballroom looked stunning, as always.


The room is all set before the guests arrive.


Stephanie DIY her menus using a similar paper to the programs.

The couple’s Sweetheart Table was so cute!


I love all of the details.


The bride looks down and waves to guests that are arriving.


The Cake Girls made a stunning modern fondant cake.


I have to admit that although the wedding cake was beautiful, it was the groom’s cake that stole the show.
The groom trades corn, so it was the PERFECT cake and a huge hit.


Dancing all night! The guests filled the classic black and white dance floor.

Everyone remained energized by the late night snacks!


Guests took home a bag of Garrett’s Popcorn as their favor!


Congratulations Stephanie + Andrew!! I had so much fun working with the both of you!

Stephanie was an organized bride. It’s such a relief when you have a bride that fills out your spreadsheets and sends you lists of things to be done. As her Day of Coordinator, I appreciated it immensely. And she was very lucky, she had a perfect wedding day. It helped that all of her vendors were top notch.

Isn’t she adorable? I kept wanting to pick her and her little brother up the entire day. I love babies.


The gentleman walked over from the Westin to the church.


The bride and her maids followed once the groom was out of sight.
The girls, of course, got a lot more attention than the guys!


Stephanie made the best looking DIY programs to date.
She found this gorgeous thick paper as the cover and then used ribbons to tie them together.

The church is gorgeous.


The bride had a cord and veil ceremony to celebrate her Filipino heritage.


After the ceremony, the girls stood by while the bride and groom took photos.

Forth Presbyterian allows for some gorgeous photos.


The couple took some lovely photos together.


This one is my favorite!


The newlyweds radiate happiness.


I’ll be back tomorrow to post photos of their reception.

Real Wedding: Colleen + Nathan’s Reception

Yesterday, I posted about Colleen and Nathan’s ceremony.  Today, it is about the reception.

I have yet to see more beautiful escort cards. Each escort card was actually a book. The front page had the name of the couple and the back cover was the number of the table.
All cards went into this bird cage that fit perfectly with the venue.
The candle law library was gorgeous. Guests were pleasantly surprised when they saw the space.  It was transformed into something else.  One amazing detail of the venue is the built-in banquettes.  Guests really enjoyed this seating!
The long rectangular tables were adorned with a runner, hand-made table numbers, and flowers in julep cups with lots and lots of candles.  It was beautiful!


The menus highlighted the couple’s monogram and color pallete.
Children were greeted with a fun place setting: coloring book with crayons.
The couple opted not to have a head table.  They highlighted their seats with signs.
The cocktail hour took place in the same space as the reception.  Guests mingled on the dance floor while getting drinks from the luxurious built-in bar.

Playing off the Library theme, the couple had the guests write advice on Library Cards.
Nothing says dessert like a tower of cupcakes!
