Posted on by Glendalough Manor

I am so excited to share this real wedding at Glendalough Manor with you!! The amazing photographers from Unplugged Photography did an incredible job of capturing the wedding day of Sydney and Blake on May 3, 2013.  I had such a hard time choosing which pictures to feature since so many of them were absolutely gorgeous! Hope you enjoy this beautiful wedding story of Blake and Sydney!

The bride wore a beautiful lace empire waist wedding gown with a sweetheart neckline designed by Essence of Australia.

Sydney and Blake decided to have a “first look” and get a private moment in the gardens at Glendalough Manor before the ceremony.  It was an emotional and beautiful moment captured David Shirk of Unplugged Photography.

The bridesmaids wore tea length dresses in shades of lavender and pink and carried gorgeous hand tied bouquets of peach, pink and lavender created by the talented Perfect Petals Design Group.

The ceremony took place in the gardens where the aisle was lined with shepherd hooks with jars of coordinating flowers.  Under the pergola were two large arrangements on either side of the couple on large columns.  Stunning!

The reception was held in the Wicklow Ballroom at Glendalough Manor.  The chairs were tied in a soft shade of lavender accented with a lavender napkin.  A long head table was set in the center of the room with all of the guest tables surrounding them. Sydney and Blake had a candy buffet as the wedding favor for the guests to enjoy.  The cake was made by Cutie Pies and Cakery was topped with an adorable cake topper with the words “We Do”.

The guests danced the night away with One of A Kind DJ’s.  Unplugged Photography was able to take the couple outside before their departure to capture some incredible night shots with some of them being in the rain!

Ten Creative Food Stations

Posted on by Glendalough Manor

Do you want to make your wedding unique?  One way to leave a lasting impression on your guests is with your reception food.   Having fun and creative food stations is a great way to make your wedding stand out.  When deciding on a food station try to think outside of the box.  Think about your favorite foods and how you can create a station that will be interactive and fun for your guests.  Here are some of our favorite food stations that you won’t see at every wedding!

Grits Bar

One of my favorite food stations for a southern wedding is a grits bar! Have guests add their favorite toppings like bacon, peppers, onions and cheese.

Biscuit Bar

Another creative food bar for a southern wedding is a biscuit bar.  Include assorted jams, jellies, and butters. Who doesn’t love warm biscuits? Yum!

Taco Bar

For a fun food bar, try a taco bar filled with different meats, cheeses and assorted toppings.

Nacho Bar

If you want something lighter than tacos try a nacho bar!

Popcorn Bar

A popcorn bar stocked with different types of popcorn makes a great station and can even double as a favor for guests.  Include candies, peanuts and chocolates to eat with the popcorn for a perfect treat!

Chili Bar

For a Fall or Winter wedding a chili bar the perfect comfort food on a chilly wedding day.

Ciao Bella Weddings did an incredible job on the flowers and design of the ceremony and reception spaces.  A white aisle runner was laid down at the ceremony site and coral lanterns with pool blue ribbon were hung under the arbor where the guests are seated.  Crystal decorated the pergola with white draping and a centerpiece in the center with gorgeous coral flowers.
