Because the reception ended at 4pm, we knew we wouldn’t be ready to call it a day. So we chose to have an after party at a local bar within walking distance. (The bar itself was really cool, but the waitstaff was not exactly happy with us, unfortunately.) And honestly, after having been through it, I am […]

The photo booth was one aspect of the reception we were most excited for because we knew at least some of our guests would have a lot of fun with it. And it really turned out to be a huge hit. photo taken by friends and family For the backdrop we used the navy and white fabric […]

The cupcake stand and flags were another fun project we worked on. For the flags we simply designed a few different sayings, used a zig zag punch to cut them out, and attached them to toothpicks with clear stickers on the back. The stand came from Save-on Crafts, and all we did was cover the rings with blue […]

We really wanted to create a fun point of interaction for the guests as soon as they arrived at the reception. So rather than traditional escort cards, we decided to make individual buttons (We bought out button maker at Dr. Don’s on the advice of Erin Jang) for each guest, which Brian labored over for hours. We […]

I know favors are one of those things that aren’t absolutely necessary at a wedding, but we were really excited for another opportunity to design something fun for our guests. This was one of the first ideas we came up with during wedding planning, and one of the easiest decisions to make. Keeping in mind the […]
Music was pretty huge for us — we spent forever putting together our playlists. Our DJ, Brad Langer from Absolute Entertainment, did an awesome job of mixing things up based on the crowd’s response and sticking to our wishlist. We didn’t want a lot of the typical weddng music, so that was definitely a concern. There’s not enough room […]

As wedding attendees, one problem we always found with guest books was that people don’t necessarily know what to write (that or they can’t find them, which happens to me surprisingly often). And as a result, some guests either don’t sign them or just simply sign their names, which is fine, but we were looking for […]
The out of town gift boxes were one project we were really excited to put together. I personally love kits or sets of any kind, so there’s that. Plus, since so many people were coming from a distance, we figured it was a perfect opportunity to give them a little introduction to our city. For the boxes themselves we bought, […]
The programs came together pretty quickly, design-wise anyway, the production still took a bit of time. We went with a simple small booklet that tied with a cord at the top. Little shopping tip: my friend Dana pointed me in the direction of B.B. Crafts, which has a huge selection of ribbon at rock bottom prices. I got a huge 250 […]
I never realized how into flowers I was until we planned our wedding. I’m not claiming to be any sort of expert on the different varieties (not even an amateur one), but when I look at wedding phởtos now the flowers tend to be what I’m drawn to more than any other detail. Sarah from Brooklyn’s Blossom […]
