This fun Philadelphia Love Park wedding caught our attention instantly.

Jennifer and Scott wed at The Racquet Club of Philadelphia and had their wedding pictures shot by BG Productions.

We adore the way this couple chose to express themselves on their wedding day! They included their adorable dog, Lucky. They chose an elegant platinum gray and yellow colour scheme. They sprinkled the ‘love sculpture’ from the ‘Philadelphia love park’ throughout their wedding and they even messed about on the racquetball court. Hello, amazing!

Jennifer recalls, “We made it about what ‘we’ liked and wanted to be part of our special day. We took traditional elements and tailored them to fit our style. We were able to get so many details created by various talented people from Etsy.com. All of our wedding details were found on etsy.com – our invitations, favors, jewelry, hair accessories, all ceremony and reception details. [Also] many of our family members were from out of town so we had an ‘after party’ with traditional ‘Philly Foods’ like Tastykakes and pretzels.”

Jennifer and her bridal party got ready at the Sofitel Hotel and then walked to The Racquet Club of Philadelphia with adorable Lucky leading the way.

Jennifer wore a stunning Allure wedding dress purchased at Jon’s Bridal by Suzanne Allentown PA.

“We created our own signature cocktail ‘Lucky in LOVE’ to go with our LOVE theme. The drink was yellow (whipped cream vodka with pineapple juice and champagne) with a yellow and gray sugar rim” says Jennifer.

From The Bride:

What was your biggest challenge?

“Having expensive taste but also being very frugal! It can work out. Just prioritize!”

What was your favorite moment?

“Having all of our close family and friends upstairs at the Racquet Club as we all signed the Ketubah (Scott is Jewish, I am Catholic) and realizing that everyone is here from all over the country to share in our day.”

What’s your advice?

“Brides-to-be don’t ever feel you can’t have that spectacular $100,000 wedding for a lot less. Be creative and spend money on the things that matter i.e. photography, videography, food and music. Everything else people will forget!”

Congratulations Jennifer and Scott and thank you for sharing your wedding pictures.

We’re suckers for unique weddings in unique venues, so we were jumping for joy when this Mexican wedding was sent our way. The gorgeous wedding photos were captured by the fabulous Jillian of Jillian Mitchell Photography.

Allison and Jeff were married in Sayulita {Mexico} in a week long celebration. The adorable couple decided on a “Day of the Dead” wedding theme, which was beyond unique and amazing.

The wedding was organised by talented Yazmin of Sea of Dreams Weddings. Allison also incorporated her own personal touches by diy’ing the place setting cards, the table numbers, and the programs.

We love that Allison and Jeff decided on a first look before the ceremony and had photos taken in the gorgeous area surrounding the Brisa del Mar Palapa where the ceremony was taking place. We also love that wedding photos were taken in the town cemetery! Yes that’s right, we said “cemetery”. Jillian the photographer explained, “to some this may sound odd on a wedding day, but cemeteries in Mexico are anything but gloomy”.

The colourful reception was filled with Mariachis, tacos, and churros {homemade Mexican donuts}, and finished with some spectacular fireworks.

The bride was kind enough to share a few details with us, which you’ll find after the wedding photos.

A few words from the bride:

“Jeff and I chose to look into having our wedding in Sayulita based on a recommendation form a friend. We went for a visit in March and knew it was the place for us. At that time we also met Yazmin and immediately could tell that she was the person to help us make it special. Close to 50 friends and family joined us for some or all of the week’s festivities. We even had a friend travel all the way from Japan to celebrate with us (and serenade us with his rendition of ‘Welcome to the Jungle’ during the reception).

Our week at Casablanca was amazing, but nothing compared to the wedding celebration. It started off with a beautiful ceremony overlooking the ocean. Once we were pronounced “husband and wife”, the mariachi band started playing. We greeted guests, took photos and began the celebrating. My highlights of the evening included sharing a churro with my 2 year old nephew Cooper, my 1 year old niece Lucia taking her first steps under the palapa and some seriously great dancing. The “grand finale” of the night was a spectacular fireworks show that helped start our marriage off with a bang!

Working with Yazmin was one of the best decisions we made while planning our wedding. She really cares about her clients and takes time to understand their tastes, preferences, goals and special requests. Yazmin and Nierica provided custom decorations specifically for us and designed to our taste. The Day of the Dead bride and groom theme was a hit and we loved it! I will forever remember this day and all of the people (and Sayulita!) who helped make it amazing.”

When we received these wonderful wedding photos from Skye Blu Photography, we were pretty excited. Main reason being, that we couldn’t wait to share the understated elegance of this wedding.

Jacqueline and Scott held their ceremony and reception at La Venta Inn, Southern California, USA. Their ceremony included the signing of the Ketubah ceremony and a live performance from musician Keb’ Mo’.

The wedding colour palette was a simple black and white theme, which worked fabulously with Jacqueline’s lace Monique Lhullier wedding dress.

Congratulations Jacqueline and Scott and thank you for sharing your wedding photos.
