The bride and groom decided on an"after party" which was a huge success for the younger crowd.  It was a good balance for those who did not want to partake in the dancing, DJ and drinks atmosphere...thanks to De-lighted! for providing the great mood lighting to help create the VIBE! A totally different atmosphere than the Biltmore Glamour we went for at the wedding reception. 

Thanks to Heather Moreau from Vallentyne Photographyfor submitting the photos. I am not suprised it was picked. Rustic Fall Vibe with a golf theme. Anne and Andy were such an easy going couple and I loved every minute of the design process with them. Shelby Nolan and her team did an incredible job with all the florals- as usual. Thanks! Congrats again to the beautiful Anne and ever handsome Andy- this truly is a fun thing you can hold onto and show your children later in life; superstars in a magazine...

It is a full 6 page feature all about their special day, who they worked with and all their FAB wedding designs.

Thanks to Jim Kennedy Photography for the images...

-The couple- CONGRATS!!!!

Hand-made Birch Arch

Fresh lavender florals hanging from shepherd hooks cap off the ends of the aisle

Sweet smelling lavender to sprinkle on the newly married couple as the walk down the aisle...

DRESSES they can WEAR again!

Heather decided to have all of her girls whatever dress they wanted as long as it fit within the wedding color palette and they all had similiar material. Super cute and they all were comfortable

White daisies, fresh rosemary, sprigs of lavender, deep purple lisianthus, moss and freshly glued ivy leaves adorn this sweet flower girl basket. Good JOB Madison -you looked Beautiful!

potted plants and moss line the escort card baskets

Wedding Monogram made out of Hydrangea

Natural Clay Water Dispensers help add to the rustic feel at the guest beverage station

Guest wedding tables-simple yet with satin elegance 

Our favorite Head table similar to family dining- "The kings table"- festive and more interaction at dinner with your bridal party. Plus the bride, groom and the entire bridal party don't feel like they are on display!

"things that go well together" was the inspiration for their table names- peas and carrots-milk and cookies-baseball and glove-Heather and Jerry- oh so cute!

Thank you NOTES to guests- plantable paper in the shape of a butterfly with a sprig of fresh lavender- RECYCLED paper was used for the hand printed escort cards

Another scrumptious SWEET Station by De-lighted! complete with fresh chocolate chip cookies, white chocolate peanut butter cups, old-fashion taffy and vintage dishes. Love the mocha beaded linen!

Lastly...the cake!

This past weekend, the ceremony winners of Casa Romantica's First Annual "Bridal Fair By the Sea" held their nuptials seaside as the sun was beaming in the sky. We were so happy to be apart of the bridal fair, as well as Laura & Kent's ceremony. It was wonderful to see all that hard work come to fruition! A big thank you to all the vendors that participated and helped Laura & Kent have such a fantastic day! We will be posting the professional pictures on the BLOG as soon as we receive them!

 I just love the below image...I am literally sewing Lena into her wedding dress! Before she took any of her wedding day photos her entire zipper busted out. Thank goodness for my "emergency kit" and some sewing skills, I was able to save the day. No one would have been the wiser. The entire night I saw her talking to guests and pointing to the back of her dress with a laugh and a smile!

Sometimes-red roses is all you need!

The HAPPY couple enjoy the amazing view

Her wedding bouquet

Shots of the bride getting ready are always cherished and look so gorgeous in black and white

Father-daughter pictures are a wonderful gift and a beautiful way to see a bride grow from Daddy's little girl to a married beautiful woman

Acoustic music is a great way to enhance a ceremony and cocktail hour!  Jeffrey Cogan, Associate Professor of Music at Chapman University played for Melanie and Phil

We did a 'room' preview for the couple before all guests were allowed to enter and they absolutely LOVED everything!  I recommend a couple preview their untouched reception before all the guests enter.  The emotions and time the couple gets to enjoy their vision of their wedding alone together is priceless! 

The always smiling and happy couple at their sweetheart table

The scrumptous cake done by It's All About the Cake complete with succulents and white florals to make guests green with envy!

Congratulations again Melanie and Phil!  We wish you everlasting happiness in your life together!
