Red Hot Romance

The color red is associated with passion, love, vitality and beauty. No wonder it's a classic color choice for a wedding. For Lauren & Pete it was the PERFECT choice!

On a chilly October afternoon, we made The Venetian, in Garfield, NJ sizzle with red heat. Roses, candlelight and sparkling rhinestones added to the romantic warmth of the day.

The glow of almost 200 votive style place cards enticed the guests to find their seats.

The bride and groom's delicious signature drinks helped their guests feel warm on the inside!

After indulging in enticing signature drinks and dancing for hours, the guests kicked off their heels and kept on dancing in comfortable flip-flops compliments of the happy couple.

Thank you to our red hot couple, Lauren & Pete for letting us put our spin on the classic combination of red & romance!

We wish you the best of luck in love & life!

Luck O' the Bride & Groom

Sometimes a couple wants to showcase their family backgrounds as a part of their wedding experience. One of the best chances to do so is at the rehearsal dinner. We recently worked with a Melissa & Kevin - she's Italian, he's Irish. Since the wedding had glimmers of Melissa's Italian heritage the couple decided the rehearsal dinner would be a great place to go all out Irish!


Although the couple definitely wanted an Irish feel they did not want to clad the room in Irish flags and leprechauns. We felt it was best to give hints of the Emerald Isle in a modern way.

We deconstructed the colors of Ireland's flag with green bells of ireland, white hydrangea, and orange gerbera daisies. Glowing votives showcased a celtic knot, a symbol of eternity and unity.


While their guests sipped Guiness and nibbled on Irish soad bread they read about the tradition of Irish wedding bells which graced the tablescape. A tasty shamrock cookie was the perfect favor to finish the night.



Thank you Melissa & Kevin for the wonderful inspiration for this festive Irish gathering!
