Craft Beer In The Name Of Love!

Are you looking for a way to set your wedding apart from all of the other weddings?  Well, if you have decided to have an open bar and you love beer, then you have stopped on the right blog!  You see, anyone can have an open bar offering your mundane selection of name brand beers but for a little effort, you can have a custom selection of craft beer served on your big day.  Weather you choose to brew your own beer at home, select a variety from your local brewery or pay extra for your venue to order your custom selection through their distributor, this choice is a sure way to set your wedding apart.  Just use these simple tips to help you get started.

Bottoms up!

Visit a local brewery and hand select a variety of flavors.  Then, create a custom label to go on the bottle!

Contact your local brewery or growler store to order your favorite selections!  If you are getting married at a venue that does not allow you to bring in your own alcohol, ask the catering manager if they have access to local craft beers in your area.  Display them in their usually fun and crafty original labels!

Happy Planning!

Brandon & Lauryn, November 15, 2014

I love when I can post pictures of weddings in November so I can brag about how beautiful Glendalough is even in the off season!!  Brandon and Lauryn were married on a chilly day this past November 15!

I had a difficult time choosing and narrowing down the best pictures from this lovely couple.  From the lighting in the ballroom to the picturesque haze that seemed to take over the sky, it was perfection!  But it was Lauryn’s smile that stole the show all day long.  We hope you enjoy this beautiful wedding!

Congratulations Brandon and Lauryn!

Magical Ceremonies!

I am a huge supporter in personal style especially when it comes to your wedding.  You want your wedding to reflect you and your man’s personalities and taste.  I am all for a wedding ceremony full of simplicity and rusticity.  However, I have to say that I get captivated by the occasional magical ceremony that comes along.  Over the top, extraordinary ceremonies are not a regular occurrence but when they do happen, you can’t help but to take notice.  

This is all about magical and over the top ceremonies because who doesn’t want a little magic in their life?!

Enjoy!
