[field title=”Wedding Colors”]Naz chose a black and white color palette. A timeless color story that she can share through the years. One that will never fade of style and elegance. She wanted the fashion of this day to live on without ever aging. [/field]
[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]When Naz and Matt entered the effortlessly enchanting Ashford Estate she says that she immediately was left breathless. As she gathered her thoughts she and Matt both knew that they would be married at this adoring venue. She imagined a wedding that was the epitome of timeless, classic, and elegant. She wanted her details to match the grand nature of this estate and transport her guests into an evening of luxury and elegance. They dressed the venue with a mix of white and cream florals. Consisting of fresh roses, hydrangeas, peonies, and babies breath with a. tasteful touch of greenery.[/field]
[field title=”Proposal Story”]In 2021, Matt and I moved from Philly to Los Angeles for our new jobs. In July of 2022, Matt suggested we take a day trip to Malibu since it has been on our bucket list for some time! I noticed that Matt was being a bit frantic in the morning as we were getting ready for our trip and it did cross my mind that maybe a proposal was going to happen today. But that feeling went away as the day went on and it seemed like business as usual! As the day was coming to an end, Matt suggested we make a pit stop at El Matador Beach since it was one of the most iconic beaches in Malibu. We quickly parked on the side of the road, took Niko with us (even though dogs are not permitted) and started walking down the sandy path towards the beach. We were walking through a bend in the path where I saw someone on the side taking pictures of what I thought was Niko (people have taken many pictures of him before!). I didn’t think anything of it until we turned the corner and I saw rose petals scattered across the cliff with the words “Marry Me” placed along the edge. I close my eyes in disbelief with tears welling up! Matt grabs my hand and leads me over to the edge of the cliff. He begins to tell me how meeting me has revolutionized his world and then continues to recite his speech, but I am filled with so much happiness and shock that I couldn’t even focus! He then begins to go down on one knee and asks if I would marry him (with my dog Niko also kneeling!) and I immediately say “Yes!”. The photographer in the bush comes out of nowhere and ends up capturing the entire moment. We also look behind us and notice that there is a crowd of people cheering! I look to the side and surprisingly see my sister (who flew all the way from Philly and was hiding up in the lifeguard tower spearheading this entire event)! After the proposal, we had a surprise engagement shoot session with the photographer, followed by a romantic dinner at the Nobu in Malibu. The day was more than I could have ever asked for. It’s an amazing feeling to know that we grew up together and now we can grow old together too.[/field]

[field title=”Food & Drink”]Naz and Matt shared signature drinks that were both sophisticated and flirtatious. “His” was a classic Old Fashioned. While “hers” being the refreshing and summer inspired crowd favorite of the Malibu Bay Breeze. If their many stationed H’orderves weren’t enough they also had trays of appetizers passed around and one of the many standouts were the incredible lobster bisque shooters, seared ahi tuna, and lastly a warmed hummus and goat cheese on pita. On the menu for the evening was a classic caesar wedge salad to start, followed by your choice of a phenomenal New York Strip steak slow roasted dressed with a pinot noir Demi glaze, followed by Salmon completed with a rich horseradish and chive crust prepared with dijon glaze and roasted garlic cucumber and yogurt sauce. They wanted a meal that could fit everyones needs so they also offered a vegetarian and vegan delight of Roasted Cauliflower that was served over fire roasted red pepper hummus topped with sun gold tomatoes, pickled red onion and mixed greens.[/field]
[field title=”Florals & Decor”]The florals were a prominent detail from the guests immediate arrival. Their welcome sign was dressed with white florals including hydrangeas, roses, and eucalyptus greens. Their guests would then find a grand escort display to find their tables. The display was also dressed with breathtaking florals and a single rose accompanied by babies breath in vases decorated throughout. The ceremony was set at the enchanting floating gazebo just behind the mansion. It was decorated with a high arch covered with all of the florals Naz chose to dress this elegant and memorable occasion. In this arch there was white and cream florals, consisting of fresh roses, hydrangeas, peonies, baby’s breath and a touch of light greenery. Later the grand ballroom reception space was decorated with floral arrangements on tall gold Harlow stands and their sweetheart table was accompanied by gorgeous florals on the ground surrounding the table and dj booth.[/field]

Being able to share this special day with them meant the absolute world! We were able to share the celebration all the while snagging the cutest pictures! They were kindly transported to the venue by Purr n’ Pooch Pet Resort, located in Manasquan, NJ.
[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #2″]Most couples will say that the ceremony was their favorite moment of the wedding, and while we agree that it was an extremely emotional and special moment, the private last dance was the moment of a lifetime for us. It was 3 minutes, after all the getting ready, bridal portraits, first looks, ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, where Matt and I had a moment, just the two of us, to take it all in and to close out the most magical day of our entire lives. The room was empty, with nothing but the music playing. We held each other close as we danced our final dance of the night, We laughed, we cried, and we did some of our best dips! It was incredibly special and I wouldn’t have traded that moment for the world.[/field]

I was completely shocked to the point where I had asked Jon to get out of the way of the photographer, to which he replied, “Audrey, it’s for us.” We had a picnic near the river with champagneIt was the best day and we traveled back home to an engagement party with our family and friends.

[field title=”Wedding Gown”]I found my dress at DayDream Bridal in Ardmore, PA while shopping with my Mom. I went to three places that day, and this appointment was the first of the day. The moment I tried the dress on, I had it in my heart that it was the one but I wanted to honor my other appointments. I compared each dress I tried on after that appointment to that one, and I knew it was the one. I went back the following week to formally purchase it.
I went with something I didn’t think I would. I walked in wanting sleeves and embellishments and went for something simple and classic and loved every single thing about it!

[field title=”Bridesmaid Dresses”]The bridesmaids all wore their own unique gown. Audrey gave them the guidance of length and color while letting them get creative playing with their own unique style! All of the ladies would be dressed in a baby pink differing subtly in color!

[field title=”Readings, Ceremony Music, Reception Songs”]We chose to put together traditional vows with our own spin to them that felt like us. We also wrote each other letters in our vow books and read them privately the morning of our wedding day before we each got ready.
We each had a dance with our Moms, and I also surprised my brother with a dance to Heart of Life by John Mayer.
Our first dance was “Evermore” by Hollow Coves. As soon as we heard it, we knew it would be a contender for our dance since the lyrics spoke to our story and relationship.
Our DJ played fun, upbeat dance music the entire night. Despite the heat wave that hit Philly that week, our DJ did a fabulous job keeping the party going once the dancing opened.
[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #1″]We made sure to incorporate details from our Fathers on our wedding day in my bouquet and photos of them on the fireplace mantel with a sign saying “With us, you’ll always be.” Jon and I are very family oriented so we incorporated wedding day pictures from our parents and grandparents as well.[/field]

[field title=”Wedding Colors”]

Our wedding colors were a dreamy combination of mauves, blush pinks, soft peach tones, Terracotta, and earthy neutrals. These colors perfectly complemented the lush greenery of the redwood forest and created a romantic, whimsical atmosphere.

[/field]
[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]

Imagine stepping into a whimsical, enchanted wonderland where “Secret Garden” meets “Alice in Wonderland.” That was the essence of our wedding day. Nestled in the heart of the redwood forest at Nestldown, everything felt magical, with lush florals, flickering candles, and natural details. The couple wanted to create an experience that transported our guests into a fairytale world, full of love, beauty, and wonder.

[/field]
[field title=”Proposal Story”]

Jamey’s proposal was nothing short of perfect and completely “them.” It took place during Thanksgiving in Winter Park, Colorado, surrounded by the people they love most—Richelle’s big, boisterous, and hilariously chaotic family. They had rented a gorgeous mountain home, and with over 20 of us under one roof, it was a weekend filled with laughter, games, and love. Jamey originally planned to propose on Thanksgiving Day, but the nerves got to him (adorable, right?). The next day, as we all gathered around the dining table playing Exploding Kittens (a family favorite) and sharing what we were thankful for, Jamey took his turn. He stood up, and the room went quiet as he began talking about how grateful he was for our life together and the love he felt from being part of Richelles family. Then, to her surprise—and in front of everyone who means the world to the bride—he got down on one knee and asked her to be his forever. It was heartfelt, intimate, and exactly how she had always imagined—sharing such a monumental moment surrounded by the people who shaped them. There wasn’t a dry eye in the house, and Richelles heart has never felt so full.

Their menu was a celebration of delicious flavors and meaningful inspiration. Guests dined on Prime Sirloin Tri Tips, West Coast Salmon Filets, and Roasted Vegetable Ravioli. For hors d’oeuvres, we served oysters, beef satay, and vegetarian arancini. Our signature cocktails were inspired by cherished moments: Spicy Mezcalitas, a nod to our magical Tulum getaway, and refreshing Mojitos, reminiscent of family gatherings. For dessert, they served a petite wedding cake adorned with florals, paired with an assortment of tiramisu shots, key lime pie shots, and chocolate-dipped strawberries.

[field title=”Florals & Decor”]

The redwood forest already provided a breathtaking backdrop, so we worked to accentuate its natural beauty. The decor featured lush florals, including orchids and hydrangeas, paired with cascading greenery. Mixed-height candles created a warm, glowing atmosphere, while the florals and arrangements tied everything together with a romantic, whimsical touch. A huge thank you to Rachelle Castaneda from Friday Flowers for bringing the floral magic to life! The natural charm of Nestldown added its own magic, making it feel like a true fairytale setting.

Their ceremony music was performed by the Garden Strings trio, who created a serene and magical ambiance.

[field title=”Special Detail #1″]

The most meaningful part of their wedding day was having all the people they loved gathered together to celebrate their love. Seeing our friends and family, who have supported us through our journey, all in one place, laughing, crying, and dancing, was truly the most incredible gift.

[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #2″]

Exchanging vows amidst the towering redwoods was an extraordinary experience. These ancient trees, with their strength and resilience, felt like silent witnesses to the couple’s union, symbolizing growth, longevity, and the deep roots of their love. The redwoods stood tall, creating a sacred, natural cathedral that added a profound sense of awe and reverence to their ceremony.

[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #3″]

The bride and groom loved seeing their guests enjoy the beauty and charm of Nestldown—the lush surroundings, the magical florals, and the thoughtfully curated decor. Paired with the delicious food by La Bocca Fina, it created an unforgettable experience. Watching everyone savor the moment and take in the enchanting atmosphere made their hearts so full.

[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]The inspiration for their wedding came from the love of the outdoors, musical and dance background and love of color.

[field title=”Proposal Story”]Thomas and Claire met 6 years ago when they were both analysts just 1 year out of college. They worked for different companies and were introduced by fellow bankers at a Municipal Advisory conference. At the time, Claire was studying for my municipal advisor series exams and had zero social life, let alone time for boys. The conference ended with a dinner-turned-casino night. Claire was sitting at a dinner table in a large hotel ballroom with a spare seat next to her and Thomas swooped in. She was immediately taken with his confident yet respectful nature and his beautiful blue eyes. They ended up talking all night and played with our fake money at the craps table. They pooled our “winnings” together of 8 measly raffle tickets and dropped them in the overflowing StubHub concert tickets bucket. Thomas told her if they win, he would take her out on a date to any concert of my choosing in the next 7 days. They had no shot at winning and she didn’t think she would see this boy again given her intense study schedule, so she agreed. By the fate of God, their raffle ticket was called and they went to Justin Timberlake at Formula 1 the next weekend. They fell in love and the rest is history. [/field]

The wedding planner, Ellie Clapp of Celebrated Events, has been in the wedding business for 30 years in the Greater Rochester area. Her oldest son, Jacob, and his now-wife, Mariam, met during the pandemic in New York City, bonding over their similar upbringings in Upstate New York. Nothing could be more fitting than a modern take on Old World botanicals and Upstate woodlands mixed with the elegance and comfort of Brooklyn style for their wedding in the Finger Lakes Region.

[/field]
[field title=”Proposal Story”]

Jacob surprised Mariam with a proposal as they walked along the Brooklyn Heights Promenade on their way to a dinner reservation at the River Cafe. The Promenade was a meaningful place to the couple as they began their lives together when they moved into the neighborhood. And the beautiful skyline views of Manhattan provided the perfect backdrop. The couple enjoyed a romantic dinner alone before Jacob’s next surprise– an engagement party at their neighborhood bar, with friends coming from all over the country to celebrate.

[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]We instantly fell in love with our Venue Gloster House and its grounds. We knew Gloster House was already a stunning venue that spoke for itself, so we focused on enhancing its timeless charm. To complement its period features, we incorporated cascading wild hydrangeas and clean, textured stationery, adding refined yet natural touches. Connor and Lori’s love of music filled the high ceilings of Gloster House with a String Quartet playing for guests upon arrival and throughout the day.[/field]
[field title=”Proposal Story”]After Lori and I spent a love-filled weekend at my sister’s wedding in Seville, I knew I wanted to make the moment even more special. Having known Lori for many years, starting from our time working together as teenagers in our local shop, it felt right to continue the love story. On a sunny mid evening in Seville, I proposed to Lori in the magical Cathedral de Seville, surrounded by art and candlelight—everything Lori loves. It was the perfect ending to an unforgettable week. Our hearts will forever be in Seville.[/field]

Aysia and Robert wanted a magical springtime Italian fairytale garden wedding with a classic blush, pink and white palette. The couple envisioned an intimate wine country evening filled with dancing to live music, flowing cocktails, and great food and wine under the arbor, surrounded by plenty of candlelight and chandeliers. Beaulieu Garden was chosen for its timeless Italian garden feel and private estate setting in Rutherford/Napa CA. The weather turned out to be even more perfect than they could have imagined.

[/field]
[field title=”Proposal Story”]

Robert proposed on the beach, in North Shore Oahu HI with a beach picnic and sunset photoshoot. The beach picnic vendors pretended to take some photos of Aysia for their Instagram. She was turned away and asked to turn around, where Robert was down on one knee with the ring box in hand. It was a total surprise. Even though Aysia had picked out her center stone and design she did not know when or where it would happen.

The bride’s gown was purchased from Pronovias, flagship store in NYC. Aysia was looking for something sparkly, floral, and mermaid-style cut. She visited 3 other shops before finding the perfect gown adorned with sequined and crystallized floral appliqué. To make it her own, she asked to have the original gown off the shoulder and added a glittery tulle over the skirt for extra drama. The dress is worn with Aquazurra meteorite iridescent PVC and crystal embellished sandals. For the dance party, the bride wore a halter style short empire waist tulle and feather dress custom made by friend and dress designer Kristi Vosbeck, paired with Alexander McQueen crystal embellished leather sneakers to make it more comfortable and fun.

[/field]
[field title=”Bridesmaid Dresses”]

Aysia wanted the wedding to feel colorful and fun, so she chose various tea-length and floor-length gowns in a beautiful shade of sage green. Each dress was unique in cut and fabric style, which really conveyed the personalities of each bridesmaid. The bridesmaids wore dresses from the Windsor Store.

[/field]
[field title=”Groomsman Attire”]

The groom sported a bespoke suit by Tom Barnett from Buffalo NY. The lining inside the cream-colored jacket was custom-printed with their wedding monogram and paired with black velvet-trimmed tuxedo pants. Coffee cups and croissant cufflinks were designed as a gift from the bride by Yingia Puk of New York. The groom walked out in black velvet slipper-style loafers from Del Torro.

The couple picked some of their favorite foods for the Hors D’oeurves which included oysters, mini tuna tartare cones, and beef carpaccio crostini along with a large cheese plate. They wanted a mix of Italian and Asian-inspired cuisine. The main dishes included sea bass and a prime rib. The guests enjoyed the specialty cocktails picked specially by the bride and groom. Diamond gin fizz for her and Mezcal old-fashioned for him. In addition to the 3 tier semi-naked cake dusted in gold, there was also a gelato cart and mini hand pies for the guests to enjoy. Coffee is life for the groom, so of course the couple needed a specialty coffee cart to keep the party going. The night ended with dancing and late-night bites which included slices of white pizza and mini fried chicken sandwiches; some of the bride and groom’s all-time favorite foods.

[/field]
[field title=”Florals & Decor”]

Keeping with the romantic Italian theme for her wedding, the florist Bloomwell and Co used a classic pallet of white, ivory, and blush flowers to accentuate every corner of the outdoor garden wedding. She created an organic and modern bouquet for the bride and her bridesmaids sprinkled with greenery. The couple had the florist create an asymmetrical open arch for their alter and tall sprawling bouquets lined the backside of the guest’s chairs in the sunken garden where the couple said I do. For the cocktail hour, the florist adorned the fountain in the Italian garden with a ring of bouquets. Smaller arrangements were placed on every cocktail table seating under white market umbrellas. At the reception location, the florist created a beautiful arrangement of hanging birdcages and flowers above a mirror where table numbers were handwritten on paper and displayed with guests’ names for seating. Behind the bridal table was a climbing display of flowers up an arbor trunk, along with tall wild bouquets of blush and white garden roses, snapdragons, and sweet peas mixed among clusters of hurricane candles. Smaller bouquets in gold vases were aligned down the center of the long rectangular banquet tables which were placed under the twinkling lights of the arbor. On guest tables were large white agate slices with table numbers written in gold, while above hung gold chandeliers adorned with hanging greenery to set the perfect romantic mood. Lighting was very important to the couple so tables were set with blush candles between the bouquets and clusters of hurricane candles adorned the old fireplace under the arbor, where a loveseat and chairs were arranged to take a rest and chat.

[/field]
[field title=”Wedding Cake”]

For the cake, the couple chose a three-tier semi-naked cake with edible gold leaf from Flour and Bloom which adorned the same flowers as in the bouquets. Each tier had a different flavor. The bottom layer had vanilla cake with alternating layers of fresh raspberries mixed with buttercream and lemon curd. The middle layer was a chai spiced cake with honey buttercream and the top layer was chocolate, chocolate chip cake with an espresso buttercream. The couple unanimously chose all three of these flavors as their favorites during the cake tasting without knowing what the other liked.

[/field]
[field title=”Readings, Ceremony Music, Reception Songs”]

It was important to the bride to bring in a little bit of magic, so the couple had a string trio play modern tunes during the ceremony and all of the cocktail hour. Their very good friend was also their officiant for the wedding which made the ceremony extra special and intimate for the couple. After dinner, the guests danced to live music, which included a saxophone player who doubled as a DJ, named Rob Bennion. The night ended with a dance party under the stars while enjoying the specialty cocktails and late-night bites picked out by the bride and groom. The newlywed couple danced away in bliss to a live serenade of Here With Me by D4vd.

[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #1″]

As cat parents, Aysia wanted to include their kitties in the wedding. M Design perfectly captured their portraits in watercolor for the signature cocktail signs and blank printed the custom-designed monogram from Nooney Art onto cocktail napkins. The ice cube for the fashion even had A&R embedded on the top. To evoke even more romanticism hurricane candles were placed in clusters at the outdoor fireplace and along the front of the couple’s head table. Aysia and Robert also wanted their guests to have fun making memories by taking photos at the cutest vintage bike booth from Magic Tymes Photo Booth.

[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #2″]

Guests arrived with a welcome glass of champagne from a vintage white bookshelf next to a gold framed mirror that read “It was always you.” in white cursive lettering. There was a welcome table where a game of Jenga was displayed as their guest book. Guests wrote well wishes and advice in gold Sharpie while having a sip and waiting for the ceremony to begin. The couple wanted the guests to enjoy themselves as soon as they stepped into their romantic fairytale wedding.
