What a wonderful day for a wedding.  It was sunny, beautiful and just about 55 degrees.  Thank you so much to Jacinta and Kevin for letting us share in your special day.  Your families were amazing and you were just an awesome inspiring couple!  Your love for each other was so present and so real, we just thank god for being able to be a part of such a magical day!!

Many thanks to Amanda who assisted me today, I couldn’t have done it without you! 

I had so much fun working with my favorite dj, Matt from Ocassions!  Special Thanks goes out to Jodi and Debbi and their team from ABC!  You were so accomodating.  Also, great job to Lalani and her team from BI the reception looked goregous.

I’ve attached some pictures of the event that I took and will be happy to post some more when David Verespie has them up!  Thanks again to everyone who made this a fabulous day!

Congratulation to Jacinta and Kevin!

My sister in law and I went to a new spot last night, Fenz.  It was hip trendy and absolutely fabulous!  The absolute perfect spot for a rehearsal dinner or private party!  I felt as though we had escaped Lancaster for the evening and were in a downtown bar in Newport, R.I.  It was great.  We got their after they had stopped serving dinner, however, the bar bites kept our mouths watering.  We order “French Fried Pickles”  Very unique, but very good.  Not to mention, I left smelling just as great as I entered…it is NON SMOKING!!
 

Martha has been my number one go to gal this holiday season. Check out these fabulous do it yourself ornaments.

My wonderful mother just got me a subscription to Martha Stewart…how sweet of her :)  In looking through the pages I stumbled upon a really pretty idea for winter wedding receptions….and so easy too.

Frosted Glass Vases with snowflakes“You don’t need a visit from Jack Frost to re-create the appearance of ice-glazed glass. You can “frost” inexpensive cylindrical glass vases with glass-frosting spray to make these candleholders. Use a snowflake craft punch to cut shapes from a self-adhesive laminating sheet. Affix snowflakes to outside of each vase. Apply glass-frosting spray (available at home-supply stores) in an even layer all over outside of vase; let dry. Using tip of a craft knife, carefully peel off stickers.”  Courtesy of Martha Stewart

Also, a wonderful idea for place cards, which could also serve as favors for a “Silver and Gold” Themed Christmas wedding are picture frame ornaments!  I picked these wonderful items up at The Christmas Tree Shops.  This is a great home decorating store that displays wonderful decorating items at an unbeatable price all year round, not just for christmas junkies!  These awesome beautiful frames are only $1.00 a piece!

 

One thing I love to recommend to my clients:  bring your guestbook/signature mat, whatever it is that you are using bring it along to your rehearsal dinner!  This way those closest to you, you bridal party, family, guests of honor will have time to sign it :)  They will be busy on your big day and this way it guarantees that they get to write those special wishes to the bride and groom!

With all the upcoming wonderful holiday parties I thought I would share this fabulous find for party dresses! The colors are amazing and fabric is awesome! Not only would they make the perfect holiday dress, they would be the perfect rehearsal dinner dress as well! You can find these dresses at Banana Republic at an affordable price!
