Pantone color of the year is.....

MARSALA! What a fun color this is! There are so many great ideas to use with this color.  The color is much deeper and richer than pantone colors in years past.  We are so excited to see which of our brides in 2015 will be using this color and we can't way to share our ideas.  Happy New Year to all!

Andrea and Omar, The Dorrance

Andrea and Omar held both their ceremony and reception at The Dorrance in Providence. The evening began with a beautiful ceremony that was both in English and Spanish. The guests then moved into cocktail hour, while the bridal party departed for pictures at Waterplace Park. A four course meal was served while guests enjoyed a spectacular Spanish trio. After dinner, guests hit the dance floor for music played by DJ Justin Krakowsky. Pizza and sliders with fries were the late night snacks along with cupcakes provided by Lasalle Bakery. No one left that wedding hungry, as the food was plentiful.  Thank you to Andrea and Omar for allowing us to be part of your special day. 

Erin and Alex, Glen Manor House

Erin and Alex had a gorgeous day for their Glen Manor Wedding. They began with pictures prior to the ceremony at the Glen.  Their ceremony was a Catholic/Jewish ceremony and was a beautiful way to blend both families.  After the ceremony, guests were treated to a signature cocktails and delicious hors d'oeuvres provided by Blackstone Caterers. The bride and many of her family members had celiac disease so this wedding was completely gluten free. This included a gluten free wedding cake provided by Eva Ruth's in Middletown.  Once dinner had concluded, guests hit the dance floor to the sounds of Nightshift, a special surprise was when the bride's father sang a special song to her. It was so touching and beautiful.  Congrats to Erin and Alex and thank you for allowing me to be a part of your special day.

Annie and Ryan, Aldrich Mansion

Annie and Ryan had many special surprises for their guests at their wedding held at the Aldrich Mansion. From planes, to paintings,  to dances, to a special visit from their dog, to the amazing dessert room, these two kept their guests guessing what was next all night! The food was amazing, the music had them all on the dance floor, thanks to 617 Weddings and flowers supplied by Studio 539 Flowers added to the beautiful rooms of the Aldrich Mansion.  Congrats to Annie and Ryan and thank you for having us on your special day!

Elliot and Eliza, Glen Manor House

 I would love to have been one of Elliot and Eliza's friends for this amazing weekend.  They had so many great activities planned for their friends and families.  A great welcome reception at The Newport Harbor Hotel and Marina, they watched a polo match, a wedding at Glen Manor House, after party at the Clark Cooke House and finally a brunch at the Hotel Viking. The wedding at Glen Manor House was catered by Russell Morin's Fine Catering, and was absolutely delicious. The music was provided by Night Rhythm and we even had our bride and groom in the air crowd surfing at one point in the night. A big thank you to all the vendors, Adeline and Grace Photography, Fresh Focus Productions, Blooming Blossoms, Viking Tours, and Rockstar Limo.  Congrats to Eliza and Elliot! 

Samantha and Abiola, Atlantic Beach Club

 With a day that promised thunderstorms and rain, we had not one drop and although it was a little warm, Samantha and Abiola and their guests were able to enjoy all the Atlantic Beach Club offered.  They had a beautiful cocktail hour outside under a tent, where 280 guests enjoyed the gorgeous ocean view.  From the cocktail hour they moved into the ballroom, that has an unbelievable view. The food was incredible, they had 3 courses, with a dessert table and then late night snacks of a variety of pizzas. Guests had a great time with the photo booth, dressing up as their favorite superheros. There were many traditional Nigerian customs that occurred throughout the evening, because both families were rich into tradition, Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your special day! Congrats!
