Travis is an amazing artist and put so many personal touches into their day. From the invitations to the flower girls “here comes the bride” sign, the ring box, every centerpiece detail and so much more, it was apparent a lot of love went into the making of this day!

At this event we had so much fun working with the very talented Jillian McGrath Photography! What a wonderful husband/wife team. Their energy was great, and the photos they produced were awesome! Take a look below at images they provided us to share! You can also see more over on their blog.

The ceremony and cocktail hour music was performed by the outstanding Christopher Bohn. Friends, he was amazing!! He played an acoustic guitar and the Ukelele! The bride came down the aisle to “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.” Just loved it! Oh and at the reception for their first dance he sang, “When you say nothing at all.” You must check him out if you are looking for a ceremony and/or cocktail musician.

One of our favorite florists, Sandra Porterfield, was on board to do the beautiful bouquets and boutonnieres. The centerpieces consisted of a singe Gerber daisy in a wine bottle. Just lovely!

The Cork Factory Hotel did a wonderful job on the cake, a top the wood charger.

What an awesome couple! Thank you so much for letting us be a part of your day! Congratulations and best wishes!

A big thanks to some pretty awesome vendors on this wedding:

This past November we did a secret family shoot to gift pictures to my family for the holidays.  It was Doug and I, and the kiddos and my sister and her kids.  The entire point of the shoot was to get all of the grand kids in one shot.  Well let’s just say the kids had their own idea, and were not the most cooperative.

Kris and John from KM Photography met us in at Long’s Park in Lancaster!  They were awesome, and as always got some pretty remarkable shots!  Even one of my son, doing a daily nose pick…I know gross!  But it was so funny to see, it is my Riley to a T!

Take a sneak peak of my family shots!  Love love them!  And i must say the shot KM Photography got of the grandkids…my mother just loved!  They were all in their own element!  My Son was holding his youngest cousin, so proud, and both girls were off in their own world!    Classic :)

Thanks Kris and John you are the best!

Before her birthday I had decided that I was not going to do the big birthday gathering that my son had when he turned 1. I really wasn’t even going to decorate, but then I kept thinking…hmmm she may look back on this one day and think, why did i get shafted!!

Plus I have some wonderful friends in the industry who helped make it extra special. I decided to just invite immediate family and siblings over for pizza and cake!

Take a look at the images below! My little Molly, she sure is something special!

Also the first couple of images are from my lovely sister-in-law, Amanda Kirkham!

 

A very big thank you to Bella Manse for the ADORABLE, simply beautiful cake she made for my little Miss Molly and the perfectly pink and cream lovely linens from Special Occasions!!

The colors were stunning, simple, and made a beautiful impact.  Hot pink, black and white!  So chic and so fab!

Here are some fabulous recap shots from the uber talented KM Photography!  Just love them.

A lovely outdoor ceremony was planned, with a tented reception! This was one of those weddings where there was no rain in the forecast, but low and behold on my way to the event the sky was filled with the darkest clouds I had ever seen!  And of course upon arrival myself and my team had to wait underneath the tent until it stopped pouring for about 30 minutes before we could begin set up, and dry off the ceremony site!

Santosh and Karen’s event was simple yet elegant!  We loved working with Accomac Catering who provide wonderful scrumptious food.  Flowers by Paulette provided the gorgeous red flowers and classy white branch centerpieces.  Funky Fontana kept the crowd entertained and on their feet.  Not too mention Brooke Courtney was a dream to work with and they brought an awesome photo booth, The Smilebooth!  You can see images from that here. Some of our other favorites included, The Moonstone Manor, Cherrywood Strings Ensembles, Invitations by Chrissy and Expressions Limousine!

Congratulations to Santosh and Karen!  We wish you nothing but the best and thank you for letting Planned Perfection be a part of your day!

Their theme, Penn State!  It was done in a very classy way and was true to the couple.

Coryn looked absolutely stunning, her gown was amazing and her bridesmaid dresses were to die for!

Take a look below at the beautiful professional images provided to me by KM Photography!  We just love their work!!

Beautiful bo-ks by Splints and Daisies.

All of Coryn’s bridesmaids were her sisters, and above they are with their mother.  So sweet.

Back in June we coordinated Melissa and Dan’s ceremony in York and reception in Lancaster at The Cork Factory Hotel!  It was just lovely.

Melissa was a beautiful easy-going bride, who’s planning style was just lovely!  I think I am a bit partial…her colors incorporated green and black, and green is my favorite color!

We enjoyed working with Krisha Martzall Photography, Mixed Up Productions, LaVon Films, Sandy Porterfield Florals, Cork Factory Hotel, Love Jessica Invitations, Studio Jenz, Special Occasions and The Couture Cakery!

Best Wishes to you both!!  Enjoy some snapshots by Cork Factory Hotel and Krisha Martzall Photography!

This past week we had the opportunity to swing by Janell Berte’s Posh Bridal Salon!  We wanted to get a sneak peak at some new private label arrivals and what she has in store for 2012!

While looking at these beautiful gowns, Janell told me she was getting ready for a bridal appointment.  That sounded perfect, I could capture the initial consultation process.  However, to my surprise, it was also a Planned Perfection client.  Bride Christina is one of our July 2012 brides, Diana will be executing her Day of Coordination.  So it was a pleasant surprise to see Christina.  We first met her last year as a bridesmaid at another wedding.  Happy Planning Christina!  We can’t wait for your wedding day.
