AWE Real Wedding – Sneak Peek

This past Saturday was Theresa & Brian’s wedding at the Grand Lodge of Maryland in Cockeysville.  It will be a few weeks before we have the professional photos but I wanted to share a shot of the ballroom where their reception was held.  I am so happy with how all of the design elements came together after working on this one for about a year.  The “after” shot was taken by the fabulous florist, Sheila Smith of Eufloria Floral Design

Today Is Wedding Day!

Today, Theresa will marry Brian!  We are excited for this wonderful couple who have quite the love story.  We’re also excited because this will be one our most design intensive weddings to date.   See for yourself.

AWE Real Wedding Sneak Peek

Last weekend we had the pleasure of assisting another wonderful couple with their wedding.  We worked with one of our favorite photographers on this one and I cannot wait to see the professional photos.  I was able to snap a few amateur shots with my trusty Blackberry.

Piyumi-Tom6

Today is Piyumi and Tom‘s wedding day.  We are excited for this wonderful couple.  They have guests coming from as far as California to witness and celebrate their nuptials.  Thankfully, Hurricane Earl will not ruin their outdoor ceremony.  A wonderful vendor team has been assembled so I know this wedding will be awesome!

Real Wedding - Tiffany and Ronald

Tiffany and Ronald were married Saturday, May 15th in downtown Baltimore.  I really enjoyed working with this fun couple.  Our meetings were filled with laughter and plenty of conversation.

The fuchsia, purple and apple green color palette was infused throughout their wedding.  Their ceremony and reception were held at the recently renovated Hotel Monaco.  The wedding party walked down the aisle to an instrumental Led Zeppelin version of Stairway to Heaven.  The Bride was given away by her grandfather.

The weather was wonderful on their wedding day so they were able to take wedding photos all around downtown Baltimore while their guests enjoyed cocktail hour.  Also during that time, the ceremony room was “flipped” for dinner.  After dinner and dessert, the dance floor was packed the remainder of the night.  I think it’s safe to say a fun time was had by all.

It was such a pleasure to work with Tiffany & Ronald and all the wonderful vendors.
