Another gorgeous wedding film courtesy of Ray & Ryan at Timeless Films - thank you for capturing this Brilliant couple’s wedding day so perfectly! (For the best viewing quality hit play, then pause and let the video load completely before playing again)
I came across this totally unique engagement video by Axioo this morning on Rock and Roll Bride and just had to share it with you! Making your photos into a video is a great new idea and a fun way to get some extra mileage out of your engagement pictures…something to show on a loop during cocktail hour? maybe even after dinner?
Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
We love trees and branches as a dramatic touch for any event. But, when it comes to escort cards, hanging tags on a tree isn’t the best route. Since it’s not in a logical, alphabetical order, guests won’t be able to “grab & go” and it will create a bottleneck.
If you have your heart set on an escort card tree, split it up into a few trees and label them with ranges of letters (i.e. A-L, M-P, Q-Z, etc.). Or, you can use the tree concept to display special photos and mementos.
Check out these beautiful photos of the feature table that we designed for Molly & Mark’s library wedding! Vintage letterpress blocks, antique typewriter ribbon tins, embossed leather-bound journals (see a close up of them here) wrapped in belly bands with their custom damask design, personalized hexagonal pencils, collected crystal jars and an authentic 1920s typewriter all came together to create an amazing focal point for their guests!
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!
On your wedding day, chances are that you’ll spend at least a few minutes in a limo of some sort. There’s nothing like being super nervous as you leave for the church or excited beyond belief surrounded by your entire bridal party on the way to photos…and you just can’t find the right song on the radio. Avoid this Jerry Maguire moment and bring along a CD or your iPod and a Line In so you can listen to great music.
Here’s a pretty striking “before” and “after” shot from Kyla & Jordan’s wedding at Le Parker Meridien. What a difference the lighting makes! Photo by KC Gunn and lighting by Prestige Lighting. Even more gorgeous photos coming soon!
