 The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts is one of the most unique wedding venues in Philadelphia, and we always love the opportunity to design flowers for this space. Jacquie and JD’s beautiful fall wedding was no exception.

The couple got ready for their special day at the Logan Hotel, where they were surrounded by family, close friends, and their four children.  They had their “first look” photos at the Logan, and made their way to the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, where they held their ceremony and reception.

The bride and her attendants looked radiant in their ivory and blush tones, and the flowers complimented the soft, romantic color palette. The couple made the most of the museum, holding the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception in three distinct halls, and each space had its own distinct look, but all three were united by the love and laughter that filled the rooms that night!

Laura and Dave were married at the Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul in downtown Philadelphia and were joined by family and friends for a reception at the Philadelphia Horticultural Society in Fairmount. Bold berry colors were paired with soft blushes; a black and white dance floor sparkled by candlelight.

Rather than aiming for a uniform look, this couple opted to add individuality and depth to the feel of their wedding by dressing bridesmaids in complimentary dress and flower girls in gorgeous capes; rather than a ‘traditional’ white bouquet, the bride and her attendants carried colorful bouquets filled with berry ranunculus, deep odessa calla lilies and anemones. This couple incorporated color in a romantic way, and the final look was truly a breath of fresh air!

The whole day was coordinated by the ever talented Truly You Events, and the beautiful images below were captured by Hoffer Photography. The wonderful food was prepared by Constellation Culinary, and the gorgeous lighting throughout the Horticultural Center was provided by Eventions Productions.  The invitations were created by Caitlin Jane Calligraphy. All floral designs by Petals Lane Inc.

Tori and Brian were married on November 17, 2018, and their first meeting seems to have been written in the stars. Tori’s sister and brother in law listed their Philadelphia home, and Brian, who did not yet know Tori, was the lucky buyer. Only after he bought the home, did mutual friends realize the connection and suggest they meet. The newlyweds now share the home once owned by the bride’s sister! They were married at Saint Thomas of Villanova, and they held their reception at historic Merion Golf Club, locations that hold each hold significance to the couple. Even the photographer who captured their big day was the same photographer who photographed the bride’s parents when they married years ago. It was very clear that every choice this couple for their wedding made was one that honored an important time and/or tradition in their families. Every detail had a story, and we feel so fortunate to have been a part of this day that was filled with timeless beauty.

Meghan and Jimmy’s Cape May wedding was truly picture perfect! Every detail was a reflection of their love – love for one another, love for their family, love for the magnificent seaside. They both love the shore, they got engaged down the shore, so it seemed only fitting to hold their wedding … by the sea. They were married at Our Lady Star of the Sea in Cape May and held their reception on the beach at the Beach Club of Cape May. Working with some of the best in the business, every detail, from the invitations and place cards to the bridal party gifts were an extension of the couple and the aesthetic they wanted for their very special day. Shades of blue were accented with ivory and touches of gold. Guests ate dinner overlooking the ocean and danced the night away surrounded by the sea breeze. It truly was ‘a shore’ thing!

Marisa and Damaris were married on September 21, 2018 at the beautiful Lake House Inn in Quakertown. The color scheme of the wedding was an extension of the beautiful surroundings – soft greens, watery blues, natural wood tones. The ceremony was held outside, and Mother Nature did not disappoint! These breathtakingly beautiful brides were surrounded by their family and friends as they made their vows to one another. After the ceremony, they enjoyed cocktail hour, dinner, and lots of dancing inside the ballroom. It was such a pleasure working with this lovely couple and we wish them a lifetime of happiness!
