The reception of Molly & Mark’s gorgeous library wedding took place at 91 with delicious catering by the Upper Crust. Custom stationery was created exclusively for the bride & groom by Megan Guerin and appeared on everything from the escort cards to the menus to the drink coasters. Crystal chandeliers courtesy of Jersey Street Furniture framed the space and created the “family dinner” ambiance that the thoughtful bride & groom envisioned.
A single orchid was placed on each placesetting and the centerpieces were elegant, highly-textured florals by Rountree Flowers. Cocktail centerpieces were a nod to the vintage aspect of the wedding and were an assortment of letterpress blocks. The linens, chairs and chargers are courtesy of Party Rental Ltd.
All of these great shots are from Zlatko Batistich, photographer extraordinaire!We have one more set of photos from this marvelous wedding so stay tuned!

Here is a stunning new way to add a splash of color to your wedding dress! Ashley of 2BirdStone has created a crinoline-dyeing service for your wedding dress. It’s the perfect way to add a little sass and color into your otherwise pristine dress and for a budget-friendly price of $23.
First, you pick a color – perhaps a bright blue for your “something blue” or my favorite – the delicate blush pink. See the full color palette on her Etsy shop. Then, you send her your crinoline… in 5 business days, you have it back in your perfectly dyed hue. Check out these photos of her amazing work!

We created a shabby chic wedding theme for Carol & Ed’s wedding day at Perona Farms in Andover, NJ. The eye candy photos below are from Mariann at Blue Daisy Weddings - she is such a talented photographer and always a dream to work with. The pink and violet color palette was started with these spectacular invitations by Inky Livie. Florals were done by Stem and Company and featured a mixture of crystal and silver vessels gathered from antique shops and flea markets to really emphasize the shabby chic theme. The beautiful violet pintuck linens set off the vibrant centerpieces and were courtesy of Laurie at Cloth Connection.
Sachiko Yanase worked her magic and did fantastic hair and makeup for all of the ladies and the super-friendly Mike Burns from Infinite Video captured the day on video as it unfolded. Marge Fitts provided the angelic harp music for the ceremony and cocktail hour and DJ Medina had the guests dancing all evening. The night closed with a jaw-dropping fireworks display by Celebration Fireworks.
For more amazing photos of their day, click here and stay tuned for even more photos as they become available…especially photos of their amazing shabby chic lounge area!
Thank you Carol & Ed for letting us be part of your amazing day!

This lovely couple is planning a gorgeous wedding this fall in New York City at Le Parker Meridien. The color palette is a progression of pure white for the ceremony to an ice blue for the cocktail hour and a bold navy/midnight blue for the reception accented with metallic touches. We’re focusing on texture and color saturations to make things really stand out. Enjoy!

Carol & Ed’s wedding date is fast approaching and we recently stopped by to see the super-talented, always inspired Glenn of Stem & Company to see the sample of their centerpieces. As you can see, the use of a variety of different vessels and the mixture of textures and hues really makes the centerpiece exude that “shabby chic” theme. The groom’s mother especially loved delicate sprig that was added to each place setting!
Linens shown are courtesy of Laurie of Cloth Connection, it was a tough decision between the linen shown here and a damask print but in the end, the violet pintuck you see below was the winner. We are so excited to be part of Carol & Ed’s special day!

Here are some more non-floral centerpieces for the hosts that want a show-stopping centerpiece without flowers! The button jars really lend a vintage-y detailed look – perfect for a casual affair like a baby shower or bridal shower. The book centerpieces are more old-world and lend themselves more toward a semi-formal event such as a cocktail reception or networking event.

One of the best decisions a bride/groom/host can make to really make their event look “custom” is to have specialty linens. For those who are regular watchers of Platinum Weddings or any of the other reality shows, you’ll notice that this is an element that is always included in their decor! And, renting of 1 tablecloth per table is surprisingly affordable! Take a look at the photos below to see the difference colored linens make in the look and feel of your wedding or event.

The personalities of the financial controller bride and NYPD sergeant groom really shone through in their reception choices. Favors were scrolls noting that a donation was made in their guests’ name to the American Cancer Society in honor of Christina’s late mother. The featured dinner entree of Guinness-braised beef was inspired by their shared Irish heritage, their unique cake topper displayed their fiesty nature and their love was reflected in the romantic centerpieces consisting of giant hurricane vases filled with wine colored candles and classic rose petals in autumn hues surrounded in tealights.
Thank you to the happy couple for letting us be part of your special day! A warm congratulations from all of us at Brilliant Event Planning!
