Sherri & Jacob 3.7.09

Sherri and Jacob were married on the warmest early March date I can remember in the same church that her parents and grandparents were married in. Their wedding was the beginning of the spring wedding season for me and I can't imagine a sweeter couple to have gotten things moving!

Some of my favorite vendors were along for the day including:

April with Bluebird Photography (see more of their wedding here)
Matt Pine and the crew at Lifetime Video (see their trailer here)
Travis with Be Creative Catering (one of my easiest recommendations on catering - great food, great customer service and super reasonable on the budget!)

Sherri's flowers included hydrangea, roses, lisianthus and freesia.

More from Mandy & Jon

Got a few more photos from Mandy that came from Steve Ziegelmeyer, a friend of hers and guest at the wedding. Definitely a very talented friend with a great eye for capturing the details!

If I haven't mentioned it before, I'm a sucker for papergoods. Nothing makes me happier than arriving at the reception site for setup and finding coordinated stationery. Mandy and Jon had their seating chart, table numbers, programs, seat backs... the works... all coordinated with this beautiful pink floral design. I think the choice in fonts is a super important detail and I think this mix of casual script and block fonts fit the 'preppy chic' theme perfectly. The seating chart was the very talented Kristen at Poeme. And the coordinating table numbers, chair backs, etc. were done by Mandy and John's planner, Kristen of Tres Chic.

These martini glasses with single cymbidium orchids and rose petals were on the cocktail tables. They are a simple classic way to add something extra to those often overlooked 30" cocktail tables!

There's something kind of magical about this picture of the flower girl watching the party down below. I love this next photo... showing off the "bracelet" style wrist corsage - simple, classic and age-appropriate (no mini-roses here!). Something about the composition in this photo screams product ad to me. Can't you just see it in a magazine as an ad for a piece of jewelry or something?!

Mandy & John 4.4.09

Mandy and John chose a 'preppy chic' theme for their wedding incorporating the colors of navy, hot pink and silver.

Mandy's bouquet was a mix of whites and blush pinks using peonies, roses and cymbidium orchids. The girls carried bouquets of fuschia and hot pinks with roses, gerber daisies and hypericum berries.

Heather & Joe 3.21.09

Heather and Joe pulled off a simply stunning affair. And I mean, they pulled if off! They are both attorneys living in and planning from New York City. Since I met Heather last year they have figured out and overcome some major hurdles including passing the bar exam, being unemployed and finding work, health issues, the death of close family members, etc. etc. Despite all of this they never waivered on their attention to detail and their desire to create a beautiful event for those family and friends lucky enough to be in attendance. I'll have to do a seperate post sometime on all her DIY projects!!

The amazing photos are courtesy of Steph Carson - Talk about someone who has a passion for what they do and the talent to back it up! I really admire the dedication she shows to her work and her clients and am continuously amazed and the gorgeousness she creates. Heather and Joe wanted a very 'Old Hollywood - vintage glam' affair and the photos really emphasize that vibe.

On to the details... Heather incorporate bright bold green flowers to pop against her black and gold color palette. Her bouquet is made up of calla lilies, hypericum berries and cymbidium orchids wrapped with ribbon and pins to match the detailing on her dress.

Along with Steph, the dream team of vendors included:

venue: Cincinnati Club (both ceremony and reception)

baker: Maribelle Cakery

videographer: Lifetime Video (check out their pre-trailer here!)

makeup: Nancy with Brideface

day of coordinator: Kristen with Tres Chic

And despite having nothing to do with the flowers, some serious eye-candy for your viewing pleasure :)
