Erica & Nick

June 27, 2016

I Love You More Than Ohio State Loves Football...

There may not be a more hardcore fan base in the BIG 10 conference than that of the Ohio State Buckeyes. From the lovable mascot Brutus to “Dotting the I”, tradition runs deep in Ohio. Erica and Nick are no exception they bleed scarlet and grey like the rest of us and decided to showcase their love for OSU football on their BIG DAY!

Just like the OSU band, aka “The Best Damn Band in the Land” this couple most definitely had “the best damn wedding” thus far. Plus did I mention, Erica and Nick are the most amazing people on the planet!

Erica and her deep love and obsession for Etsy and Pinterest was apparent throughout the ceremony and the reception. From customized EVERYTHING..... to napkins, cups, stir sticks, to TONS of signage, to charger plates, to customized Coke bottles, to matching Kimonos for her girls, a classic car, and a vintage camper photo booth. Lastly a hay bale monogrammed with flowers by my friends at Floral V Designs! They thought of EVERYTHING and their fantastic wedding planners were instrumental in making it all come together and run perfectly smooth! The girls at Pink with Envy make my life so easy!

Before the wedding they buried a bottle of whiskey on the venue grounds for good luck! Per Southern tradition, they had to dig it back up on their wedding day!

Even though this wedding didn’t take place at The Shoe in Columbus, Ohio (ohhh, but the engagement session did-click here) the venue of Canopy Creek was a perfect backdrop to this elegant but amazingly fun affair.

From all the amazing details (Brutus head hiding on back of cake, Grooms Cake of the Ohio State Stadium) to the heartfelt vows with tons of OSU football stats incorporated into them. LOVE!

O-H-I-O!!!! GO BUCKS!!!

Lisa & Rick Wedding

February 19, 2016

I love a couple who embraces a rainy day. This rustic/vintage backyard wedding at the bride’s parents house is proof that rain on your wedding day is nothing to fear. Also, let’s not forget the years of good luck. Lisa and Rick are way too cool to let a thing like this ruin their day. The outdoor ceremony had to be moved onto the dancefloor of the tented reception area.

This wedding is vintage meets glam with a romantic twist. There is nothing more intimate than having your nuptials at a family member’s house and then using your family heirlooms as wedding décor. Items include small oil borrowed from Groom's parents & books are from Bride's parents. They are some serious DYI moments at this wedding too- Signs through the yard made by Groom and Bride, and Groom made small crates for centerpieces. They also both made the solar lights that hung in the trees outside of the tent.

Lisa looked flawless in a vintage-style lace dress, a birdcage veil, a vintage fur stole and tons of sentimental pieces of jewelry.

As avid dancers, the reception was filled TONS of dancing and a special choreographed dance where the bride had to change into her fancy dancing shoes. The guests and their awesome dancing skills made us feel like we were watching an episode of “Dancing with the Stars” but even better.

When this awesome celebration was all said and done, guests (including us) walked away (thru a sparkler exit) with a wonderful gift from the bride and groom- a bodacious compilation CD. - We listened to it the whole way home and knew that this would not be the end of our relationship with Lisa and Rick- they are just too cool to forget! I adore this couple and have the fondest memories of their big day! This Vintage Rainy Day Wedding was the perfect kickoff to Lisa and Rick’s amazing future together.

Check out Lisa and Rick’s engagement session here with a 1933 Plymouth. I think a vintage or classic car is the best photo prop around! No matter what era the car is from, there is just something romantic about older cars that you can't get with even a modern luxury car.

Tharu & Justin Wedding

September 18, 2015

Quite possibly the cutest couple ever! These 2 love birds met at school in Ohio and now are a power couple that lives in NYC. Tharu and Justin’s wedding was held in Dayton, Ohio and was a fusion of both western and Sri Lankan cultures where guests traveled near and far to attend the celebration.

Tharu wore a beautiful white and gold saree for the ceremony and then changed into a modern western wedding dress for the reception. She also followed western tradition and wore something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue in her gorgeous gold jewels. She wore jewelry from both her grandmothers that have both passed, which included earrings from her dad's mom and a bangle from her mom's mom.

Justin and Thrau’s dads both got together along with their tool belts and built the “Poruwa”, or the Sri Lankan bridal throne/ bridal altar. During the ceremony, the couple lit a traditional Sri Lankan lamp decorated with strings of jasmine flowers, and symbolized the light that starts their marriage together. Also during the ceremony, the guitarist is the bride’s old guitar teacher, while Justin's cousin, sung “Your Song" by Elton John as the couple walked down the aisle in the Great Hall at the Dayton Art Institute.

The reception was filled with lots of food, drinks and dancing, which included a Sri Lankan dancing session with "Baila" music, where all guest were on the dancefloor.

Guests left with full bellies, tired feet and gifts of can Koozies designed by the couple that gave a tribute to the great state of OHIO and favor boxes designed by the brides uncle filledwith Sri Lankan Love cake that her mom made from scratch….YUMMY!!!
