No, it was not the Philadelphia Blizzard of ’09, but it was the first snow of the season and Carolyn was prepared! Despite the inclement weather Carolyn and Steve wanted romantic pictures around town and Carolyn found the cutest pair of “bridal” snow boots (just in case). The “choreography” of a wedding in a “nor’easter” can by overwhelming, but with the incredible help of event planner Donna O’Brien of Beautiful Blooms Events it ran as smoothly as a sunny summer day! As with many December Brides, Carolyn confessed that she secretly wished for snow on her wedding day. She said that the lace on her gown reminded her of snowflakes, which was why she chose it. Well, Carolyn did get what she wished for. Makeup and hairstylist Claudia Seyler stayed on hand most of the day to keep Carolyn looking perfect throughout the day. This was just such a brilliant idea on a “weather challenged” day! Carolyns preperations took place at The Four Seasons Hotel in Philadelphia. The couple met in the lobby for a romantic “first look” before heading off to Waterworks on the Schuylkill River. Carolyn was lucky to have Steven to keep her warm, as there were bone chilling winds blowing off the river.
