A few weeks back we had the honor of having one of our weddings featured on the website of the World Famous
Glamour Magazine. We previously shared the link to the article through our social media sites, but today I wanted to share some of the pictures that were featured, a few that weren't and of course give you a run down of the vendors of this amazing wedding.
First, the back story. Rachel (the bride) has actually been an integral part of the ACE Team for 2 years now. She is as beautiful on the inside as she obviously is on the outside and her groom Nick isn't too shabby himself! They chose the Eastern Shore of Virginia and a quaint Marina called "Bay Creek" as the back drop of their beautiful outdoor ceremony. Bay Creek is such a great venue as it's roughly 30 miles from Virginia Beach but makes you feel as though you are hours (and many miles) away.
Early on in the planning process I randomly found an image that I thought encompassed the overall aesthetic that Rachel was looking for...thankfully I was spot on and we began the search for the perfect vendors to make her dream day possible. Early on
Daevid came on board and loved her vision. We were able to incorporate some very rustic pieces in her event design in a pretty modern venue. Rachel loved the mix of old and new and it turned out fabulous.
David Schwartz seemed like a sure fit for her photography needs...and I knew from their engagement session that this was going to be a great match! Rachel and Nick are obviously a stunning couple...but of course, the proof is in the pictures.
Working in the event world for quite some time now Rachel knew that Rodney, owner of
Arch Entertainment, was just the man to keep the dance floor packed all night...and trust me when I say, no one was sitting! A steel drum band played during the ceremony as the bridal party walked down the aisle...and through cocktails and then Rodney took over for the remainder of the evening.
I can't let you look at the pictures without mentioning 2 more things. First, all of the event paper products were from
RSVP Stationery in Virginia Beach and that FABULOUS dress was from our dear friend Maya of
Maya Couture! I hear more great feedback on Rachel's dress and fun bolero than anything else!
I hope you enjoy this pictures and would love your feedback! Happy Reading!
This fabulous bouquet even included beer hops...
One of the best little details of the entire wedding was how well the bridesmaid dresses played off of Rachel's beautiful Gown. Notice the rosettes on both the bride and bridesmaids dresses.
If you look closely you can see that these flowers are actually "growing" out of Birch Branches that are down the center of all of the guest tables.
I love the broach...and I believe it was Nick's grandmothers.
Not only did guests get these simple wedding programs, they also received "vow cards" that included the handwritten wedding vows from Nick and Rachel. A great way for your guests to follow along, but also keep a little part of the ceremony after the big day.
Daevid had the idea to add the pop of persimmon to the chair cushions...and it was a great unexpected color in the design of the room.
One of my favorite images from every wedding is the bride and groom walking down the aisle for the first time as husband and wife...and this wedding was no different!
I love their laugh. So obviously in love!
