Pinning on boutonnieres to ensure the guys look dapper.
The ceremony programs doubled as fans for the hot summer day.
We hung the bride's beautiful framed photos along the church pews.
It was a unique touch and a great use of engagement photos.
Grand Exit
Your wedding coordinator will orchestrate your grand exit from the ceremony by guiding guests outside to form two lines, distributing the bubbles, and cueing the bride and groom.
On to the reception at the beautiful Ravisloe Country Club.
(The calm before the storm...literally!)
Instead of lining up the escort cards in rows,
we hung them from these wrought iron decorative pieces.
A scotch bar atop the fireplace mantle gave the cocktail hour a cozy touch.
Wedding coordinators often have to make quick judgments and split
decisions. With the storm, we knew we'd have to do cocktails inside and
found new places for the cigar & scotch bar on the fly.
No detail was overlooked, with personalized drink stirrers and napkins.
The dinner table signs featured family member pets,
and this board introduced and showcased each furry friend.
If you look closely on the bottom row, you'll notice the bride's new pet...the groom! ;)
Here is the gorgeous view from atop the stairs.
Black and Gold Tablescape
A big part of a wedding coordinator's job is setup. Yes, we make sure your other vendors are setting up according to plan. But think of all those little details that don't fall under any other vendor's responsibilities.
That's where we come in!
Those miscellaneous details that we setup can include escort cards, menu cards, favors, table signs, candles, cake toppers, and DIY centerpieces and decor.
Menu cards in a vertical pocket fold napkin.
The table decor featured two different looks interspersed throughout the room: candlelit lanterns and tall floral stands.
The Cake
The storm caused all sorts of trouble, knocking down power lines and causing traffic delays. When the cake had yet to show up, I was just about to send my team off to pickup a backup when ...Voila! The beautiful cake arrived in the nick of time, just as we were about to seat the guests. We like to have a backup plan but are thrilled when we don't have to use it!
The Head Table.
Using the bridesmaid bouquets is a great way to decorate a long head table and gives a place for the ladies to keep their bouquets. Your wedding coordinator will gather up the bouquets to put in place, as the bridesmaids arrive at the venue.

When the sun went down, the room was awash in romantic candlelight.
