Last Sunday, Amy and David tied the knot at Congress Hall in Cape May and it was everything they had been dreaming for! The day started off with Cheekadee Makeup Artists and Hair by Meghan Cahill beautifying the ladies with hair and makeup before they got into their gorgeous blush dresses and dressed the bride in her stunning white gown. The bride and her pup, Morris, had the “official” first look, then David joined Amy for the second look and portraits around Cape May. M2 Photography and PSH Cinema Studios were on hand to capture all the amazing moments- just check out the teaser photo and film below! The personal ceremony was conducted by a friend of the bride and groom and we were thrilled to have Grace Note String Ensembles play lovely music for ceremony and cocktails on the lawn. Once we invited guests into the historic ballroom, they were floored by the design of the venue. Savannah’s Garden totally decked out the spaces with the most romantic florals, and tons of candlelight, everything was so twinkly! The B Street Band had the dancefloor packed, but when the groom’s band, Sick Feed, took the stage, the crowd absolutely went wild!!! The party continued downstairs in the Boiler Room, and then the next morning at Beach Plum Farm. It was an amazing experience to plan this wedding weekend with Amy and David and I’m so thrilled for them that everything went so perfectly! Congrats to one of my favorite couples- your love is contagious and I wish you a lifetime of happiness and joy!! ~Erin

Ivy and Matt celebrated their love on Saturday with a gorgeous wedding at Winterthur Museum and Estate. The ladies started their day with hair and makeup by Salon by Dominic and got ready in the cutest monogrammed robes. They all looked beautiful, and once the bride presented gifts to her squad, they all got dressed, and then everyone headed to Winterthur for the first look. The bride and groom saw each other for the first time by the Reflecting Pool and it was captured amazingly by Jana of MK Photo and Larissa and Jeff of Cinema Four40. The ceremony was performed in front of the reflecting pool by a family friend, and the mood was set beautifully thanks to florals and lanterns by Sweet Peas and string lights from Synergetic Sound and Lighting. After the couple said “I do” they enjoyed a delicious cocktail hour in the Galleries courtesy of Restaurant Associates, and then they were transported to the Visitors Center, which was completely transformed with lighting and draping and incredible floral centerpieces, as well as a floral chandelier!! After dinner, and a delicious cake from The Master’s Baker, the couple, and their guests, danced the night away to music by Bounce. It was a beautiful day filled with so much love. Congratulations Ivy and Matt! We wish you all the best and can’t wait to see pictures from your ceremony in Beijing this Spring! ~Becky

Most girls dream about their wedding for many years; that was no different for Jena. She’s dreamed of marrying her high school sweetheart and on Saturday, the Proud to Plan team was able to help her dreams become a reality! Jena and her ladies got ready at her parents’ house while John and the guys got ready at his parents’ home. The ladies had a relaxing morning getting ready with the help of Janelle on Location. Our friends at First Class Limo picked up the bridal party, first the guys and then the girls, and took them to Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Trenton, New Jersey. Following the beautiful ceremony officiated by Father Dennis, guests made their way to the Courtyard Marriott in Willow Grove, Pennsylvania where they checked in and were picked up by First Student Charter Bus Rental-Plymouth Meeting. Jena and John’s guests arrived at the Cairnwood Estate where they were greeted with champagne, as well as “his and hers” signature cocktails. Hers was a Pear Vanilla Martini and his was a Manhattan with Bourbon soaked cherries- yum! Once guests entered the estate, they were invited to enjoy a variety of hors d’oeuvres including a Tex-Mex station with mini tacos, which were a huge hit! Guests signed well wishes for the new Mr. and Mrs. on wine bottles that they would then open and enjoy on upcoming anniversaries; their 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 10th. The guests enjoyed having fun with the messages and John’s grandmother even wrote her wishes for a grandchild in the future. The bridal party was introduced and we started the night off with a few special dances. Jena’s mom was able to pull off a surprise and a slideshow was played of Jena growing up during her dance with her father! So sweet! Le Petite Fleur decorated the tables inside the tent which provided the perfect pop of color in the centerpieces. Synergetic hung Italian string lighting throughout the courtyard which added just the right amount of sparkle. Once guests were invited to take their seats, the guests enjoyed speeches by Jena’s father as well as the Maid of Honor and Best Man. Karen Spire Catering served the guests a delicious dinner which helped prepare them for the dancing which was to come. Ciao Bella made the cake and delicious desserts which were accompanied by homemade Italian wedding cookies baked by John’s mom (SO GOOD)! Jena and John wanted to make sure their guests had a great time, so they added fun touches throughout the night, like a photo booth by Love Bird Photo Booth as well as a bourbon bar complete with their very own Cigar Roller from Cortez Cigars! Cracked Ice had the dance floor packed all night long and guests danced the rest of the night away. The crew from Live Picture Studios caught all the dancing on video and Adrienne and her team from Adrienne Matz Photography caught all the special moments on film. Thanks to Adrienne for sharing these gorgeous teasers from their big day. Congratulations Jena and John, thank you for trusting us with such an important day! Best Wishes! ~Kristin

It was a beautiful fall day on Sunday for Toni & Alex’s wedding. The bride and groom started their day by getting ready with their bridal party at the Courtyard Philadelphia Downtown. Toni had her dress made by one of her bridesmaids, so that it made it even more special. Toni and Alex shared their first look right outside the hotel before heading to City Hall for photos. Their bridal party and families joined them soon after and Shari DeAngelo Studios got some great shots! Then, it was time for the ceremony at the Crystal Tea Room. They walked down the aisle to the sounds of Strings from EBE Talent and were married by Alisa Tongg Celebrant. Guests enjoyed a spectacular cocktail hour from Finley Catering before sitting down to dinner. Everyone danced the night away thanks to EBE Talent before enjoying a delicious cake from Termini Bros. The night didn’t end there – everyone stayed on and enjoyed the after party at the Crystal Tea Room! It was a fabulous day – Congrats Toni & Alex!!! ~Jennifer
