Romance and Spring is in the Air for an April Wedding!

July 19, 2010





Lorraine was referred to me back in December 2009 by one of my December 2010 brides, who works with her in downtown Cleveland. When I met her, she was incredibly excited about getting married to Steven, but just not as excited to find time to finish the rest of the wedding plans for April 10, namely the creative details. I was happy to help and just loved working with her, as her vision of a romantic night with accents of greens, golds and ivory came to life. The programs we made for her are my favorite of all time! It was my first wedding at Landerhaven and I was very pleased with the delicious food and incredible dessert display!


This cake topper was made for the bride and groom through this shop on Etsy!


It was wonderful working with Kay at BCR Studios again, who provided us with these beautiful images. A few other highlights of the day include our "first look" done at the Courthouse, followed by the wedding ceremony at First Baptist Church on Fairmount in Shaker Heights. That church is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen in the Cleveland area!


I loved working with you two, and I know you will have a lifetime of happiness and romance!!! Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your day.







Below are just a few pictures I took of the day. Enjoy!

Wedding Ideas

July 7, 2010

It’s been awhile since our last wedding ideas blog, but it’s wedding season! Although we’ve been busy, we’ve still managed to come across some great wedding ideas we wanted to share.

The Non-Bouquet – This is really cute & could be a great alternative if a bride has allergies, or if they want a bouquet that’s new, trendy and different!


**Make sure to check back for pictures of our upcoming photo shoot for Style me Pretty, when we feature a brooch bouquet!


Wedding Banners & Signs – If you’re one that doesn’t like the traditional rose petals for the flower girl, or if you want something different and stylish with your monogram on it for the wedding decor, this is a cute and fun alternative!


Unique Table Numbers – If you want to find a cool way to display your family history at your wedding, look no farther! These table numbers are elegant, and do a great job of showing off your family to all of your guests.



Custom Cones – These cones can be personalized however you want and are very versatile from being used at the candy bar and doubling as a favor, or even for the flower girl to carry rose petals in; the options are limitless!



Color Palette Picker – This is helpful for choosing accent colors, or for even helping you decide what your wedding colors could be! Just choose your main color and answer a few questions about your wedding style and your palette is created from your answers! Do it over and over again to see all of the possibilities!


Brad Embellishments - These are from JoAnn Fabrics and are very affordable! Will look amazing on invitations and other wedding stationery.



Flower Girl Outfits – These handmade tutus are sure to make the cutest flower girl outfits ever!

Kelley and Josh: Elegant Country Club Wedding

July 6, 2010

















When I first met Kelley and Josh, my first thought was that they must come from loving families. They were both so sweet and respectful to everyone they met and of course one another. After having an opportunity to spend the wedding weekend with their families it quickly made sense why they turned out to be such wonderful people. Josh comes from a very large family. His sister, also named Kelly (KelHibbs Photography out of Arizona) took these fabulous photos and his grandfather officiated their outdoor ceremony. Kelley has two wonderful parents and a great younger brother. I felt very blessed to be a part of their special day.




The ceremony and reception took place at the beautiful Kirtland Country Club. All week there was an eminent threat of rain and we were all on pins and needles that morning before the ceremony. I was getting phone calls from vendors saying that they had just come through a major rain storm but we were bound and determined to wait it out. Sure enough, the sun shone brightly as they exchanged vows in front of 200 friends and family. Josh even dipped Kelley for their first kiss as husband and wife. It was picture perfect!

The candlelit reception was breathtaking and the bride and groom sat at a sweetheart table framed in gorgeous peonies and roses provided by Prestige Floral. At the end of the evening, Kelley and Josh were sent off amidst a halo of sparklers! Of course the guests wanted to party more and continued dancing to music provided by Rock the House. As I was loading up my car that evening, I heard the distant rumble of thunder. I couldn't help but think that Kelley and Josh's day truly was picture perfect right down to the very last moment when the rain started late that evening.


I received this lovely email from Kelley's Mom, JoAnn a couple days after the wedding...




Allison-I can hardly put into words my appreciation for all you did for us. ...You were and are spectacular at what you do! I cannot imagine the process nor the day without you.I would like to stay in touch and lunch together SOON would be wonderful! with heartfelt gratitude, joann




Congratulations to a beautiful couple both inside and out!



Below are pictures that our wonderful intern Michelle took before the wedding began:
