Lauren + Alessio 06.28.09 (Part 2)

July 18, 2009 Weddings

When I first met Lauren she was a wedding planner. Though she has moved on to a new career, she brought all her talents for beautiful décor to her wedding reception at the Rockleigh Country Club. She had a color theme of orange and green which she incorporated beautifully from flowers to cakes. Laurelwood Designs did a beautiful job with the floral décor. I especially liked her seating card table. Lauren surprised Alessio with a very unique grooms cake by Le Petit Gâteau. Alessio LOVES pizza and likes to order one almost every day. Lauren surprised him with a cake in the shape of a pizza box. Very CUTE! To end the evening, Alessio broke out his trumpet and serenaded his bride.

One of my favorite wedding gifts ever….. Laurens mother hired an artist to paint a beautiful oil painting of her reception. A work of art that I think the couple will treasure forever!

July 16, 2009 Weddings

Over a year ago Lauren went on an extended vacation to visit relatives in beautiful Sicily. While on her stay she met the wonderful Alessio and it has be love ever since. I’ll be in Sicily next month on “Part 2 of my Grand Tour” and hope to get as lucky as Lauren! Many of their relatives from Sicily came to New Jersey to share in their most beautiful wedding day. Lauren had the most magnificent Pnina Tornai gown that she found at Kleinfeld Bridal in NYC. It fit her like a glove and she was just glowing! Their ceremony was held at Saint Michael the Archangel, a very historic church in Patterson, NJ. The ceremony was held in both Italian and English for all the guests to enjoy. The couple went on to the Rockleigh Country Club for their reception. Check back for some amazing inspirations from their reception!

Congratulations kids on the beautiful feature article of their wedding in the current issue of Philadelphia Wedding Magazine. I know their unique and artistic day was the talk of many brides and blogs last year so I was thrilled to learn it was going to be a featured wedding. It was wonderful to work with such a very talented team. Jessica and her mother Susan were the creative powerhouse behind the day and with the assistance of Sheila Corbett of Elegant Events and the amazing hair and makeup of Claudia Seyler they created this memorable day.

Check out this magnificent reception. It was total New York City grandeur! The ballroom at Capitale just glowed with remarkable lighting by BML Blackbird. They certainly knew how to theatrically light a venue. The décor was by Flowers By Reuven and as you can see it was striking. There was a mixture of round, square and long tables with different décor for each. Jamie and Arnold danced the night away to the music of Starlight Orchestras. What a great band with top of the line singers. I love great bands! I never worked with them before but hope to again!
