My Wedding: Flowery Goodness

Last weekend I headed down to South Jersey to meet up with Mary and Dawn, who were making samples of my bouquet and centerpieces for a bridal show:)  I am SO excited to see what they come up with for my wedding, because their design totally transformed the whole room for Sarah and Joe's wedding.  I also got some shots of them working together - it was fun to see them work in their element, and come up with something amazing in the end:

The sisters hard at work:)  I'm going to leave the full centerpiece up to your imagination - we're probably going to be making some tweaks, and I didn't want to reveal EVERYthing:)

Ahhh but I couldn't keep my bouquet from you!  I am in love love love with this thing.  If you can't tell, my wedding colors are going to be green and black - I think orchids are becoming one of my favorite flowers, and I just love everything about this bouquet!

So like I said, my colors are green and black - in my head I always kinda thought I just picked a random color combination - then I took a quick look around my office, and realized I apparently am in love with this color combo - green apples on my black shelves:

Black and green iPhone case (You would think I would have taken a picture of my phone that DIDN'T display the fact that my case is broken and I'm too cheap to buy a new one.  Oh and I left the windows in my house open all day, to come home to a thin layer of pollen covering our entire house - guess I should have dusted that off before this picture too.  Well, my house isn't perfect all the time, just keepin' it real.  Don't judge:):

Green post-its on my black desk:

So there ya go - apparently my new favorite colors are black and green:)  Don't you just love the bouquet they made?  I can't wait to carry it down the aisle!

On another note, I'm SO excited to head to Pittsburgh this weekend to shoot a wedding with Heather - stay tuned with shots from that next week!

Happy Thursday!

Philadelphia Wedding Photographer: Bridal Shower Details

I first met Sarah when we were neighbors during our freshman year in the dorms at Penn State (619 and 620 McKean what what!).  That was SUCH a fun year living next door to her and Mary, and we went on to be roommates our junior and senior years:)  Her bridesmaids held her bridal shower yesterday in South Jersey, and we all had to fill out these little cards with our favorite memory of Sarah.  Sarah, not sure if you read mine yet, but I'm about to blurt it out all over the internet....because you know I love you:)

I think one of my favorite memories of Sarah is the first time we played Cranium together during our sophmore year of college.  Yes, in case I haven't confessed before, I freaking LOVE playing Cranium.  So a bunch of us were playing Cranium, when we discovered one of Sarah's major downfalls when it comes to Cranium playing.  She can't hum.  Like, not even a note.  She pulled a Humdinger card, had to hum a song (can't remember what it was), and all that came out was some kind of monotone noise.  From that point on I called "not being Sarah's partner" when we play Cranium:)  Just kidding Sarah, you know I'd be your Cranium partner.  Well, as long as you let me do all the humdingers.  :)

Anyway, on to the point of the post - yesterday was Sarah's bridal shower and there were SO many fun details that I wanted to share....because I don't know about anyone else, but when it comes to party planning and thinking of awesome details, I blank.  So I thought I'd share:)  Here is Sarah looking all fab in her bridal shower dress:

LOVED all of the flowers put together by Mary - so excited she is doing all the flowers for my wedding:)

And how fun is this idea - these scarves were tied on all of the chairs, and then they were our shower favors.  So cute!

Mmmm delicious.  Loved the cake they had at the shower - Sarah and Joe met on a snowmobiling trip, so they had a whole snowmobiling theme for the cake:)

I thought this was a fun idea too - filling the vases with Hershey's Kisses:

Oh man, then they had this Chocolate Room, chocolate fountain and all.  I was in heaven.Philadelphia Wedding Details
