Amanda, Shane, the mother of the bride and I had a great time organizing the coordination details for this “out of this world” amazing event at the Hall of Springs on September 24th. I had the opportunity to work with this couple on coordination details for 10 months, and I'll tell you, no detail was left out.
We started our morning off at Amanda's house. The Bridal Beauty Boutique that we organized was in full swing!
David from Renaissance Design came bright and early to deliver the flowers and had a little surprise for the bride...yes, that really is a monogrammed delivery truck. That man is crazy talented…or talented and crazy.
To keep everything on time, I stationed a coordinator at the bride's house. I usually like to do this so the bridal party has a “lady in waiting” the entire day. They can trust her with getting them dressed, supplying their favorite lipstick shades at the drop of a hat, safety pins just in time and their bags and pashminas safely to the end of the night location...all while keeping them on time.
Another coordinator was checking on transportation and making sure everything was running smoothly, as well as getting over to the church to set up for the ceremony.
Our reception team was picking up favors, arranging seating cards in alphabetical order and managing load in at the Hall. There are always endless tasks to be accomplished to make sure the day runs perfectly!
David did an amazing job on the decor of the church flowers.
Amanda walked out of the limo. The music was cued.The girls were lined up and away we went.
After the ceremony ended, the bridal party made their way up to the State park and the Hall for their photo shoot.
Cocktails were held under a tent and boasted some amazing treats for guests…these guests really had no idea what was in store for the entire evening!
Right before cocktails finished, we had our pow-wow with the band leader and floor manager and got the couple in to see the room reveal.
The Bride, being an event planner herself, had a great idea when designing the seating cards. The guests could actually find their names easily!! THIS COMES HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
The New York Players had the dance floor packed all night.
And, of course, what big Italian wedding is complete without its own Spumoni and Italian Pastry Shop?! The family brought in the entire Civitello's shop...booths, staff, Italian Soda Machine and much much more, with the help of Mazzone Catering!
Guests thought for sure nothing else could top that, but then the Italian street fair began on the front patio.
As gorgeous chocolate covered apples were handed out as the guests exited, the bride and groom snuck in the photo booth for one last picture.
Amanda and Shane, thank you for bringing me onto an amazing team! Congrats!
