Christy and Brad at Glen Manor

Christy and Brad were married at the First Presbyterian Church in Newport on Monday, April 22, 2013 with a reception following at the Glen Manor House.  The ladies got ready at the Newport Beach Hotel and Suites and had hair and makeup done by the wonderful Ali from Salon KG. After a gorgeous ceremony, the guests headed to the Glen Manor.  While the bridal party took pictures with Erica Mancini from Adeline and Grace Photography. They guests were greeted at the Glen with mojitos from the Blackstone Catering Staff and the music of a Japanese koto player. After cocktail hour, guests entered the ballroom decorated by Sayles Livingston Flowers.  Once the dinner was served, guests were invited to kick up their heels with the music of Nancy Paolino and the Black Tie Band. At the end of the night, guests were treated to hand make cookies made by the bride's mom and given with thanks and love.

Megan and Seth

Seth and Megan

   On Friday June 29^th, 2012 Planned to Perfection found itself finally at the day of Megan and Seth’s wedding.  The morning started out with some light showers but as the day progressed and the ceremony time drew closer, mother nature couldn’t have conjured up a more beautiful summer day for the couple to get married on.

            Seth and Megan were married at the gorgeous lighthouse at the Newport Hyatt.  Megan and Seth were married under a gorgeous chuppah decorated with an array of white and pink floral details provided by Golden Gate Studios.  The lighthouse was a backdrop the whole scene and can be seen in the following photo.  The ceremony was short and sweet with a few friends of the couple participating in four readings.  The ceremony itself was a personal one due to the fact that a friend of the family, who is a judge, conducted the ceremony himself.  The couple even had their dog take a walk down the aisle.

            As the night drew on and we now had a happy pair of newlyweds it was time for the reception.  The entire cocktail hour and reception were decked out from head to toe in white and pink accents.  The floral arrangements used for this special day all were of different heights and sizes.  The arrangements ranged from a tall centerpiece that had extending branches with chandelier type accessories on them to a simple table floral piece.  The cocktail tables all went along with the couple’s rustic theme and had floral arrangements inside of little medal pales.  

            One of the most unique features of this wedding was one of the bride’s favorite items at her wedding.  There was a pink lemonade bar that was available right after the ceremony at cocktail hour.  The guest enjoyed refreshing pink lemonade out of monogramed mason jars.  These mason jars were also used as wedding favors to the attending guests.

            Another great feature at this wedding was the candy bar that was brought to the wedding by Sweet Indulgences.  It was all pink and monogrammed to match the overall theme of the wedding.  Between the various jars of sweets and cake pops guests found them selves in a sugar wonderland.

            Megan and Seth’s wedding ended with a lot of dancing to the sounds of Nancy Paolino and the Black Tie Band and good times with their friends and family.  They even enjoyed some pictures with the gorgeous sunset that fell just beyond the Newport Bridge.
