LRE Weddings - Julianna and Rich - Canfield Casino, Saratoga Springs

Happy Wedding Wednesday and Happy Spring!  Finally some warm weather here in NYC.  Here are some of my favorite photos from a Saratoga Springs wedding last September.  It was such a pleasure working with Juilianna and Rich, fellow Brooklynites and they just happen to select the same venue in Saratoga Springs that Joe and I selected almost 3 years ago for our wedding.  It was great being back at the Canfield Casino!

There's quite the story behind this wedding, during the rehearsal dinner we received a phone call that the venue was having an issue with their roof/ceiling and we were no longer going to be able to host the wedding reception in the main ballroom.  Luckily after a lot of back and forth and contingency plans we were able to go back to our original plan and were able to use the Ballroom for the reception (this is where us wedding planners come in quite handy!  Of course in a situation like this, the bride and groom and their families were quite involved in dealing with this issue, but we were there to assist and make tons of phone calls, new plans, and call in as many favors as necessary to make this wedding perfect for our clients!).

Here are the photos, so may great ones from Hoffer Photography! -


How stunning is Julianna??
Every bridal party should have a dance party while getting ready.


A little Taylor Swift "Shake it Off" action shot :-)


Father/Daughter First Look


My favorite part of every wedding (well every wedding that chooses to have a First Look)


And this is why it's my favorite :-)


Little trip to the race track for some photos


Loving all of the rich colors!


Great photo of a large Groom's Party!


What a great backdrop for these portraits of Julianna and Rich!


Love this one :-)


Ceremony Details


Perfect weather for an outdoor ceremony.


I LOVE Rich's dad's expression in this one!  


Reception Details.


Head table for the wedding party.


Just love this space!  Maybe that's why I chose it for my own wedding :-)


So pretty.


Love this black and white of the First Dance.


And it's party time!


This group definitely knew how to have a good time!


Congrats again Julianna and Rich!  So much fun working with the two of you and your families!

LRE Weddings - Lauren and Mark - Allegria Hotel

Well it's been almost a year since Lauren and Mark celebrated their wedding at the Allegria Hotel in Long Beach, NY and I'm finally getting around to posting in.  Lauren is in the event business so when she came to me about a year before her wedding, she knew exactly what she wanted and exactly what she needed!  Even if you're in the business, it's great to have someone there the day of your wedding so that you can relax and be the bride, nobody wants to deal with the details on their wedding day when there's better things to do (like hang out with your friends and family and for this group, dance your butt off all night!)  

Speaking of dancing - Lauren and Mark told me that their family and friends loved to dance, but I have to say, I've never seen a crowd so into it!!!  ALL of the guests were up on that dancefloor from the first song and I can tell you, Lauren and Mark put together quite the playlist (NOTE - WEDDING TREND - LATE 90s EARLY 2000s MUSIC - SO MUCH FUN!)

And here are the photos from Jesse Pafundi of Golden Hour Studios www.goldenhourstudios.com









Love this color for the bridesmaid dresses!  So stunning next to the ocean too!




Keeping the ceremony decor simple and taking advantage of the beautiful view.






Post ceremony emotion


The bride wanted a classic and simple look for her wedding flowers so we stuck to beautiful white roses and white peonies in silver mercury glass.



I told you they love to dance!


If the bride and groom are on the dance floor - guests will follow!


How cute are they?


And Baked By Melissa mini cupcakes to go!

LRE Weddings - Dalal and Zack's Blue Hill Wedding featured on Carats & Cake

Dalal and Zack's gorgeous Blue Hill affair was actually posted on Carats & Cake over a month ago, but finally getting around to blogging it.  This wedding was absolutely stunning and a little taste of Spring and Summer that will hopefully be here soon!  (Seriously this cold in the Northeast is getting out of hand!).  Click on the link below for some favorite photos from Erik Ekroth, pretty fleurs from Matthew Robbins Design and one of my favorite venues - Blue Hill at Stone Barns.  

Here's the link - http://caratsandcake.com/dalalandzack  and see below for some of my personal favorite photos from the day.







One of my all time favorite invitations!  Loves the rose gold and lavender.  Design by Ceci New York.

Pretty bridesmaids relaxing during hair and make-up!

Love this lush bouquet from Matthew Robbins!

And it was a beautiful day too!

Erik's favorite "secret" spot :-)

Bronze is the new "it" color for containers, at least for me it is!

And that dress!!!  Gotta love Monique

Just so pretty!  And take a look at that rose gold napkin, one of my favorite touches.





And the after party!
