In four of my previous posts, I have written about some of the key elements that made the LOOK of our reception so special . . . I haven’t even gotten to the music and the food and the fun . . . yet!
In A Perfect Reception: Part I, I discussed flowers. Part II was [...]

Our photographer, Heather Fowler, knows that awesome lighting lends itself to awesome photos. She recently posted about 2 upcoming open houses — one in January and one in February — that are being offered by Synergetic Sounds (based out of Bensalem, PA). If you are in the Philadelphia area and can make it to either [...]

We were so fortunate to have an incredibly talented baker create our wedding cake masterpiece. The cake was actually one of the only things I was slightly worried about on our wedding day because I never met our baker and I only saw a few of the creations that she had made.
Tip: If you can, [...]
A Perfect Reception: Lighting (Part II)

Go with the glow! I can’t stress it enough — lighting can work wonders. And it doesn’t break the bank. We found that lighting was a bargain when we thought about all it did for us: 1. Great lighting transformed the ballroom from a ballroom into a wedding fairytale land. 2. The lighting matched our [...]

Since this post is about flowers, look how sweet my hubby is! He went to the farmer’s market the other day to buy some produce, and look what he brought home for me! Beautiful peach roses! Just like my bouquet! I love my Carter so much. I put the beauties in a vase that was [...]
A “Perfect” Reception

After our ceremony and photos, I was so eager to see the decked-out Crystal Ballroom at DuPont Country Club, where we held our reception. The year-and-a-half of planning, pages and pages of notes I took, and hundreds of planning meetings, emails and phone calls with lighting specialists, florists, invitation consultants, and the staff at DuPont [...]
A Dance To Remember

This is how I felt during our first dance:
Absolutely blissful. Carter and I danced to a song that has a lot of special meaning to us: Chantal Kreviazuk’s “Feels Like Home.” This song played during an episode of Dawson’s Creek when Joey and Dawson were dancing at a wedding. During the dance, Joey realized that [...]

Roses, roses everywhere made for a gorgeous setting and left an awesome impression on our guests. Like I mentioned in my previous post, Carter and I had a few “themes” running throughout the day to tie everything together and help create lasting memories for our family and friends.
I think one of the most unique, most unforgettable, [...]

Carter’s love has been the most incredible blessing in my life. Not a day goes by when I don’t think about how lucky I am to have such a unconditionally loving and giving husband. I’m sure a lot of brides say this, but I feel like Carter’s and my love is incredibly rare and special, [...]
