Lisa & Yen November 21, 2009

We love working at Veritas, and were thrilled when Lisa and Yen brought us on board to work with them on their August wedding. Lisa and Yen had a specific vision for their wedding weekend, and covered every detail of their event from the custom paper goods through to the design of the event. We loved how guests were taken from the perfect Virginia setting of the vineyard backdrop during the ceremony to the transformation of the ballroom!

Guests were greeted with a custom welcome crate based on the concepts of Feng

Shui:

Alison & Brett November 21, 2009

Thanks to the wonderful team of Bill and Anne Holland, we have a gorgeous grouping of images from the Fall wedding of Alison and Brett.

Alison and Brett chose the UVA Chapel to host their wedding ceremony, followed by cocktails, dinner and dancing at Farmington Country Club.  Although the day turned out to be a bit chilly, the rain held off!

Off to the Races November 17, 2009

Thanks to the wonderful team and committee who worked with us on the Montpelier Paddock Party Gala to benefit the Montpelier Steeplechase and Equestrian Foundation.

The evening was a great success hosted at the Visitor’s Center site with the sounds of the Michael Carney Orchestra, lighting by The AV Company and planning/catering by The Event Company. 

Our friends at Caspari did an amazing job producing the invitations, sponsorship/auction materials and menu cards. They also worked with us to supply all of the decor for the evening’s tables which offered guests a zebra theme that matched the rug from Mrs. DuPont’s Red Room!

Some of our favorite images of the evening provided by the talented Sarah Cramer:

Don’t forget the chalk October 23, 2009

This October we worked on a wonderful fall wedding where we used chalk boards to present the buffet menu to guests. The menu chalk boards looked so great I began looking for other inventive ways to make use of this creative option.  Some great ideas are below to bring chalkboards to your next party!

Falling In Love with Fall September 29, 2009

Every year I am sad to see Summer end but when the leaves start to change and we start working on Fall-inspired weddings I remember that I really do love it!   Looking forward to Matt & Jenn’s wedding at Ash Lawn in just a couple of weeks! A sneak preview-

making Wedding Memories Last September 23, 2009

Invitations on a Dime September 23, 2009

I was impressed during a recent supplies trip to Michael’s to see the line of wedding paper goods by Bride’s. The invitations especially are wonderful with high quality paper and gorgeous fonts and color schemes. Plus these invites offer you not only a great price but the ability to shorten the sometimes lengthy printing process of major paper companies by running these through your at home printer! Don’t like the font or layout? No need to pay for additional expensive proofs, just adjust on your computer and reprint!

 

Brides Editor In-Chief Millie Martini Bratten comments about the collection:

“The BRIDES Wedding Collection was developed with the expertise of the BRIDES editors and more importantly with what we knew brides-to be want — affordable current trends, designs and colors, so she can really put a unique and stylish stamp on her celebration.”
