REAL WEDDING: LISA & DAVID

Say hello to Lisa & David….a few months back their fun engagement session was featured at the cafe….I’m so excited to share their beautiful wedding with you….Jess Epstein captured their special day and and she sent over the gorgeous images…..Jess always does an AMAZING job capturing the moments and you are going to love Lisa & David’s wedding.

Jess shares a little info with us…..’This wedding was planned and executed by Lisa’s Maid of Honor, Hillary, what impressed me was how much attention to detail was given and the majority of the bridal party pitched into help.  The enthusiasm and excitement about the planning for this whole wedding has been contagious from the start.  Lisa and David were really sweet and made the wedding not just about themselves but about the bridal party, their family and the guests.’ 

Lisa, our beautiful bride shares all the ‘411’ with us through out the feature….’There is so much inspiration in the world of wedding blogs, it was an amazing process feeding off of the creativity produced by so many great bloggers and brides. We took a little bit of inspiration from everywhere. Thank you so much to all of the bloggers and etsians out there, our wedding wouldn’t have been the same without you. The best part about it was that it was very “us” and we felt comfortable at our own wedding. That was one of our top priorities next to our guests having a blast!

The arbor decor was inspired by Ruthie’s beautiful anthro display of a wisteria tree, out of respect to her, we can’t divulge how we did it. Our MOH studied Ruthie’s blog posting for hours, and once she figured it out, she, my other bridesmaids and I set out to make the arbor decor and pulled it off about a week before the wedding.

Right after the ceremony, we segued immediately into a group photo which was a great ice breaker for all the guests.
