Rachel and Steve's Celestial Wedding at the Union Club

Cute. Magical.
That about sums up this wedding!

Rachel and Steve are seriously one of the cutest couples. The vendors and I couldn't stop saying it all day. Their love for each other was so endearing. These two are not overly outgoing people and therefore I think were a little nervous about being the center of attention on August 27. However, I think they pulled it off perfectly. :)

I was so pleased to work with Rachel's family again. Last year, I helped Rachel's big sister Rosie plan her wedding! Rachel wanted to create a celestial feel to her decor, with cobalt blue, silver and white as our colors. Highlights to this wedding include her amazing bouquet by Heatherlily (check out those blue rhinestones!!!), our specialty drinks and table names after the words including Milky Way, Twilight, Constellation, etc. written in hand calligraphy, our silver hand calligraphy escort cards on black shimmer cardstock, our "fog shrouded" harpist providing mystical dinner music and our Love Story provided by Candy Apple Films! We showed it after dinner and it was one of the most heartwarming moments I've seen at a wedding. And of course who can forget the sparkle light up dance floor at the Union Club!!!

We had the oh so awesome wedding reception team of Marisan Photography and Mark Guthrie as our DJ! The 3 of us worked 3 weddings in a row together this year coincidentally and we had a lot of fun with it.

Our flowers were designed by Heatherlily....Cake provided by Phyllis Lester!

I had to include play by play snapshots of their announcements into the reception to "The Time (Dirty Bit)" by Black Eyed Peas. They went crazy and danced and it was totally a surprise but I LOVED it! Definitely one of those moments that remind me why I love my job, as I get to see the couple through the entire planning process and then see them enjoy it when the day finally arrives.

Thank you so much R&S....it was such a pleasure working with you and hope to see you around town!!! CONGRATULATIONS on everything!!!;)

Beautiful note from Rachel and Steve:

M&M's Wedding at the Ritz Carlton Cleveland!

I was first contacted by Megan in December, about 10 months prior to her wedding. She lived in New York City, her fiance Mike in Detroit, her parents in Cleveland and his parents in Chicago. Needless to say, she felt her group needed help coordinating things right here in Cleveland!

This is a super cute couple who met in college and was such a joy to work with, always keeping a smile on my face. A few notables on this wedding were the mini replica wedding cake Mike's mom and I surprised M&M with that you can see on their head table, our very cute M&M favor display, a DOUBLE mezenka (a Jewish tradition done at the reception - guests dance around the parents when the youngest child gets married - both are youngest!), and last but not least -- meeting Robin Williams in the Ritz Lobby Lounge later in the evening!


A personal highlight/memory for me of this wedding was being included (long distance) in the wedding dress decision! Megan would look beautiful in any dress but it was so much fun to get updates from her in email and pictures of the possibilities, then weigh in with my opinion! LOVE the dress she chose! Also fun to mention that Mike and I coined Megan as the "Quintessential Bride" - just so happy and cheerful the entire time during the planning. I definitely think she looks it too! Congratulations M&M!!!! Miss talking to you two! :)
