Caitlin and Forrest October 19, 2013!

It was a beautiful, slightly overcast October day at Glendalough Manor.  Caitlin and Forrest were set to wed in our breathtaking garden at four o’clock p.m.  Nine months of planning had finally come to an end and all the details were about to come to life!

Thank you to the lovely Katie Carter with Blackbird Photography for allowing us to share with you the day that Caitlin and Forrest became husband and wife!  www.blackbirdphotography.com

Her dress was BEYOND beautiful.  It was like no other that I have seen before with the gorgeous rose straps, tight fitting sweetheart neckline and the perfectly simple skirt that flowed out slightly.

Ciao Bella Florist outdid herself with these arrangements.  White dahlias, red gerbera daisies are just some of the few blooms that make these centerpieces the perfect mix of elegant and rustic.

A great way to incorporate our hurricane globes that we offer complimentary to our brides.  Ciao Bella dressed it up with a beautiful, rustic floral wreath that ties in with the rest of the wedding details.  The table number is complimentary from Glendalough as well!

Congratulations Caitlin and Forrest on your wonderful new life together.  We hope you have enjoyed the past seven months of being newlyweds:)

Autumn Inspiration For 2013

Fall is my favorite time of year and the perfect setting to get married in!  The beautiful, vibrant colors in the trees and the changing weather are all just reminders that the holidays are around the corner.  This gives off a different vibe than say a Spring or Summer wedding as you and your guests seem to be in a better spirit; one where being with friends and family is extra special.  Autumn weddings are not everyone’s cup of tea but for those that choose a fall wedding date, playing with the theme and colors is a ton of fun!

These are just a few ideas on how to pull off the perfect Autumn wedding.  Every detail counts and your guests will notice the personal touches that you spent the extra time on that will not only make your guests comfortable but make your wedding day one they will remember forever!

 This stunning bouquet captures the true essence of Fall!  Succulents, Ranunculus, Dahlias just to name a few…

Berries and fruit are a great way to incorporate fall into the little details.  They also save you a ton of money as a flower alternative!

 What a fun and whimsical way to incorporate pumpkins without it being through the typical colors!
