			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tommy and Shannon were hands down one of my favorite weddings we have done recently.  I am a sucker for lots of purple&#8230;add to that all these gorgeous butterfly accents and it was perfection.  They got married outside at <a href="http://www.thesmithvilleinn.com">The Smithville Inn</a> in picture perfect weather.  When Mary showed me all the details in this wedding I was so excited to see that the couple had come up with a theme (butterflies).  It is always fun to add special little details and watch it all come together in the end.  <a href="http://www.denisemabilog.com/">Denise Mabilog</a> was the photographer for this wedding and she caught some gorgeous shots &#8211; check out her blog, she does amazing work! Now on to the good stuff <img src='http://www.gardenpartysisters.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

We added sprigs of fresh lavender and this bouquet smelled amazing. We wrapped the stems with a handkerchief that Shannon provided to us (I think it was her grandmother&#39;s). Photo courtesy of Denise Mabilog Photography.</p></div>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<div id="attachment_1319" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 810px"><img class="size-full wp-image-1319  " title="closeup or bride's" src="http://www.gardenpartysisters.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/closeup-or-brides.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="533" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Here is a close-up shot of the bride&#39;s bouquet.

<p style="text-align: center;">
<div id="attachment_1314" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 810px"><img class="size-full wp-image-1314  " title="bm" src="http://www.gardenpartysisters.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/bm.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="533" /><p class="wp-caption-text">For the bridesmaids we used similar flowers and accented the stems with a butterfly. I love the pops of bright green against the purple. Photo courtesy of Denise Mabilog Photography.</p></div>
<div id="attachment_1316" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 810px"><img class="size-full wp-image-1316" title="bride and bm" src="http://www.gardenpartysisters.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/bride-and-bm.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="533" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Shannon was such a gorgeous bride! I love this shot, these girls all look so pretty and that covered bridge is picture perfect. Photo courtesy of Denise Mabilog Photography.</p></div>
<div id="attachment_1323" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 650px"><img class="size-full wp-image-1323" title="total arbor" src="http://www.gardenpartysisters.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/total-arbor.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="480" /><p class="wp-caption-text">They got married outside under this pergola. We added butterflies to the urns, perched on the branches and put a few in the top arbor piece. We even hung strands of white butterflies on each side &lt;3</p></div>
<div id="attachment_1324" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 490px"><img class="size-full wp-image-1324" title="urn" src="http://www.gardenpartysisters.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/urn.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="640" /><p class="wp-caption-text">I loved these urns. We use our manzanita branches, hydrangea, roses, stock, and of course those butterflies!</p></div>
<div id="attachment_1313" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 650px"><img class="size-full wp-image-1313" title="arbor piece" src="http://www.gardenpartysisters.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/arbor-piece.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="480" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Mary designed this piece and I have one word for it - LOVE!</p></div>
<div id="attachment_1321" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 490px"><img class="size-full wp-image-1321" title="placecard table" src="http://www.gardenpartysisters.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/placecard-table.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="640" /><p class="wp-caption-text">This piece was featured on their seating card table. Adding a tall piece like this to the placecard table is so eye catching.</p></div>
<div id="attachment_1320" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 810px"><img class="size-full wp-image-1320  " title="hurrican cp" src="http://www.gardenpartysisters.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/hurrican-cp.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="533" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Check out the little butterflies that Shannon gave us to put on all of the wineglasses - I love these little details!

<div id="attachment_1326" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 490px"><img class="size-full wp-image-1326" title="floral ring" src="http://www.gardenpartysisters.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/floral-ring.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="640" /><p class="wp-caption-text">We made floral rings to go around hurricanes for half of the tables. The floral rings are a great option for brides that want to give their centerpieces away to their guests at the end of the wedding. </p></div>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<div id="attachment_1315" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 810px"><img class="size-full wp-image-1315  " title="bowl cp" src="http://www.gardenpartysisters.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/bowl-cp.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="533" /><p class="wp-caption-text">The other half of the tables we did these mounded silver bowl arrangements. The silver metal bowl is a rental and the arrangements are designed for guests to remove and take home. I love hydrangea; especially mixed with roses, kale, bupleurum, and butterflies. Photo courtesy of Denise Mabilog Photography.</p></div>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<div id="attachment_1318" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 810px"><img class="size-full wp-image-1318 " title="cake topper" src="http://www.gardenpartysisters.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/cake-topper.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="533" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Instead of a traditional cake topper, we decorated the top of their cake with just a few spray roses and a beaded butterfly. Photo courtesy of Denise Mabilog Photography.</p></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tisk, tisk, Mary has been a bad blogger! It has been a while since we featured some wedding work and I apologize. We were away on a family vacation and the beach was just too distracting! Or maybe it was the 5 kids that kept us all busy&#8230;anyway, I am happy to showcase Tara and Chuck&#8217;s wedding from June 12, 2010. These docs (yes both are doctors) wanted an intimate backyard wedding, something Tara always dreamed about. When we arrived at her childhood  home outside of Philadelphia and entered the backyard, I could tell her dreams would come true that day. A giant willow tree (I think I have to get one of these on the farm here) with a gazebo nestled underneath was the perfect place for vows and a nearby tent (with AC!!!!) was placed on lush green grass and was lit with chandeliers, I couldn&#8217;t have done it better myself. Take a look for yourself!</p>
<p>The photos are courtesy of <a href="http://jpfaces.zenfolio.com ">John Robert Pankratz </a>, many thanks for sharing!</p>

This is what she had to say about it, &quot;they were able to take a family heirloom hairpiece and bring it back to life, literally - they revived it, reworked it, and made it like new - and it&#39;s 5 generations old!&quot; It was our pleasure!!</p></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A few weeks ago Mary and I had the pleasure of designing and setting up the wedding flowers for Jenna and Mark at <a href="http://www.runningdeergolfclub.com/">Running Deer Golf Club</a> in Pittsgrove, NJ. The wedding planning started months in advance as Mary searched high and low for the perfect turquoise glass beads to use as an accent for Jenna. We really love how it all came together and are so excited to share the pictures with you. <a href="http://www.issyschmidimaging.com/">Issy Schmid</a> was kind of enough to send us these fabulous shots. Definitely check out her website and blog, she does some amazing work!</p>
<div id="attachment_938" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 710px"><img class="size-full wp-image-938 " title="bridal party" src="http://www.gardenpartysisters.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/bridal-party.jpg" alt="" width="700" height="467" /><p class="wp-caption-text">The bridesmaids wore these cute little black dresses (love these!) and carried bouquets of yellow calla lilies. The yellow really popped against the black! Jenna carried an all white bouquet of roses, lilacs, calla lilies, tulips and stephanotis....and of course we accented with some turquoise bling.</p></div>
<div id="attachment_941" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 475px"><img class="size-full wp-image-941" title="bride bouquet" src="http://www.gardenpartysisters.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/bride-bouquet.jpg" alt="" width="465" height="698" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Here is a close up of Jenna&#39;s bouquet. The rhinestones in the stephanotis were gorgeous. We also wrapped her bouquet with a handkerchief that had been handed down in her family, these are the kind of little touches that we love to add. </p></div>
<div id="attachment_940" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 475px"><img class="size-full wp-image-940 " title="bride and groom" src="http://www.gardenpartysisters.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/bride-and-groom.jpg" alt="" width="465" height="698" /><p class="wp-caption-text">I had to add this picture because they both looked so awesome in it. You can also see how the handkerchief was wrapped around the stems of her bouquet. </p></div>
<div id="attachment_939" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 475px"><img class="size-full wp-image-939" title="bride" src="http://www.gardenpartysisters.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/bride.jpg" alt="" width="465" height="698" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Look at this gorgeous bride!!!</p></div>
<div id="attachment_945" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 475px"><img class="size-full wp-image-945  " title="tall cp" src="http://www.gardenpartysisters.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/tall-cp.jpg" alt="" width="465" height="698" /><p class="wp-caption-text">As usual the set up at Running Deer went perfectly. We used our tall bell vases with a stem of yellow orchids in the bottom and a mound of white hydrangea on top. We hung the turquoise beads from the top of the centerpiece and of course sprinkled some on the table.</p></div>
<div id="attachment_942" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 475px"><img class="size-full wp-image-942" title="low cp" src="http://www.gardenpartysisters.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/low-cp.jpg" alt="" width="465" height="698" /><p class="wp-caption-text">For the low centerpieces we used this coordinating bowl with floating orchids and candles. Look at how pretty the glass beads are on that mirror. </p></div>
<div id="attachment_943" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 710px"><img class="size-full wp-image-943" title="pergola" src="http://www.gardenpartysisters.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/pergola.jpg" alt="" width="700" height="467" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Jenna and Mark were married outside at Running Deer underneath their new pergola. We hung these cute little bubble vases with hydrangea from the pergola. We had some strands of the beads left and didn&#39;t want any to go to waste so we decided last minute to add them to the pergola - I think this really made it all come together.</p></div>
<div id="attachment_944" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 475px"><img class="size-full wp-image-944 " title="pomander" src="http://www.gardenpartysisters.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/pomander.jpg" alt="" width="465" height="698" /><p class="wp-caption-text">To line the aisle we hung these adorable little daisy pomanders from shepherds hooks. </p></div>
<p>Thanks to Issy for all of the great photos.  And congrats to Jenna and Mark &#8211; we had so much fun doing this wedding!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> I love to be surprised, who doesn&#8217;t? This wedding handed me a lovely little surprise, I had NO IDEA that Pratt Gardens on County Home Road in Pilesgrove NJ even existed! And I grew up on a farm just down the road! From the looks of Aimee&#8217;s wedding photos, it was a perfect location for their outdoor ceremony and tented reception. Aimee&#8217;s wedding was a casual family affair, full of many personal touches that I just adored&#8230;.I can&#8217;t even take credit for them, Aimee did all the planning! However, during our first consultation when I discovered that her fiance was a glass blower, I quickly expressed my excitement (and jealousy &#8211; I took a glass blowing class in college and phew, that stuff is harder than it looks!). I asked Dan to make some glass beads to add to our floral designs and I just LOVE what he came up with. I knew I would, so that wasn&#8217;t really a surprise haha. I was happy to design the bridal party flowers for their special day and I hope that Aimee doesn&#8217;t mind me showcasing some of her other creative gardeny ideas for all of our other brides out there. Thanks for the inspiration Aimee!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We first mentioned our relationship with <a href="http://www.gardenpartysisters.com/greate-bay-country-club/">Carly and Jeff </a>in a post last fall, but we have recently gotten access to her professional pictures, SCORE! The wonderful <a href="http://photographybygaryjohnson.com/index.html">Gary Johnson</a> was her photographer (as well as my own wedding photographer!) and he captured every detail of her wedding day, and I mean EVERY DETAIL. I can always count on him for beautiful work, thanks so much for that Gary!</p>
<p>For Carly&#8217;s wedding, she loved loved loved calla lilies and we tried to include them in every aspect for her, I think by her beautiful smile that she was pleased! Her fall wedding at <a href="http://www.greatebayweddings.com/">Greate Bay Country Club </a>was on a perfect day, she got lucky with the weather! Dawn and I really appreciated how she let us take the design reigns, Carly wanted to be pleasantly surprised with her flowers on her wedding day and I love that kind of attitude. Give us your vibe and we will take care of the rest! Her mom was so excited for her first daughter to get married, we got tied up in the emotions too haha! Jeff&#8217;s mom even got in on the wedding planning fun, which I always think it is nice to include the groom&#8217;s side too, everyone wants to help make the day magical! As a mother to a little boy, I am banking on the fact that my future daughter in law will let me in on the wedding planning&#8230;fingers crossed! Well, maybe I am jumping the gun a bit, Lee is only 10 months old!</p>
<p>I have been experimenting with the photos on my blog, I think this lightbox gallery player will be easier for you to view the pictures. Just click to scroll through them and the captions are underneath. I think my old way of posting the pics took too long to load, let me know what you think!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Everyone surviving the snow out there? I have actually enjoyed our blizzard this weekend, I got so much accomplished and my husband was not working for once! We tackled our dining room redo and I guess we had a little but too much gumption, since we had it all repainted and put back to order by noon on Saturday. Oh well, it left us the afternoon to play with Lee and watch some more episodes of Rescue Me&#8230;can&#8217;t get much better than that, folks. Anyway, back to business. </p>
<p>Last June (yes 3 weeks before my due date,  and no my mother was not happy about this), Dawn and I had the pleasure of working with a lovely bride named Lori. Her wedding was held at <a href="http://www.swanseavineyards.com/">Swansea Vineyards</a>, a local winery in Shiloh. Her marriage started out with lots of luck, since she had LOTS OF RAIN, but it looks like it stopped long enough to take some pictures! Listen up brides-to-be planning outdoor ceremonies and receptions, order a LARGER tent than you think you will need. You can thank me for this later <img src='http://www.gardenpartysisters.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Oh and at least entertain the thought of a rain plan. Lori did and it all worked out!</p>
<p> Thanks to Bryan Littel (609.280.0378, <a href="mailto:bryanlittel@gmail.com">bryanlittel@gmail.com</a>) for sharing some of his shots. Lori is also a photographer, she works for the good ole Salem Sunbeam, but also does other photography sessions too. Contact her at 609.501.3160 or <a href="mailto:LMNOP915@gmail.com">LMNOP915@gmail.com</a> for more info.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;">Every year we have that one wedding that just truly comes together and turns out even more amazing then we had envisioned. This year I think that wedding was Staci and Justin&#8217;s. They got married at <a href="www.runningdeergolfclub.com">Running Deer</a> on Oct. 3rd and everything was just gorgeous. The ceremony was outside, under the new pergola that Running Deer put up, on a beautiful fall day. The event was full of hydrangea, orchids, and dahlias in stunning shades of purple and orange.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;">Last weekend Mary and I had the pleasure of setting up a wedding at the Greate Bay County Club, <a href="http://www.greatebay.com/">http://www.greatebay.com/</a>. Carly and Jeff were so great to work with. Carly gave us a lot of creative license and it all turned out just fabulous. The Greate Bay Country Club in Somers Point was gorgeous, the perfect spot for an outdoor wedding ceremony. Mary and I split up that day as we had another wedding also (blog to come about that one), luckily Mary got some great pictures so I could see how well everything turned out.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><code>September has been a busy month for Mary and I, but we are enjoying every moment of it. The first weekend in September started with a bang, with not only Tiffanie's wedding at the Smithville Mansion, but also Tracey's wedding at Drexelbrook. Tracey was a great bride to work with and came prepared with lots of ideas. She chose purple as the main color for her flowers, and loved calla lilies so we put together a look that we hope she truly loved. She picked a beautiful venue for her ceremony and got married outside at Drexelbrook, on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon. Here are some shots of her flowers...</code></p>

<p style="text-align: center;">Wedding season is back in full force and Mary and I are doing weddings every weekend. On Sept. 5th we had the pleasure of helping set up a gorgeous wedding at the Smithville Mansion. Tiffanie and Donald were a very fun couple to work with and Tiffanie, a wedding planner (<a href="http://www.epiphanyevents.com/">http://www.epiphanyevents.com/</a>) had a great vision of what her special day could be. The weather was gorgeous and we loved the final outcome. Mary and I had some ideas of our own and Tiffanie was eager to add some unique elements to her day. The final effect was stunning, with tons of hydrangeas and sunflowers helping to create a vintage, yet modern look.</p>
