Professional pics from Laura Bruen!

Here are some fabulous images shot by Laura Bruen of our May 25 wedding at the Meadowood Manor. I adore the green/purple color combo! And the vintage inspired textures and special touches (brocade linens, pearl treated brooches, floral designed plates and gold rimmed chargers, etc.) truly lent themselves to a gorgeous garden-esque design. Just had to share these with you!

Blythe and Adam - Better Late Than Never!

This post is a bit late...in more ways than one! PBW clients Blythe and Adam were married last month at the gorgeous Palace at Somerset Park after being together for 17 years! Melissa worked closely with the clients and helped them pull off a beautiful and uber fun wedding! It was a super elegant affair for a super fun couple. Mitch the minister performed the ceremony for the couple's 140 guests.The design: rich purples and golds, with white florals. Gold beaded overlays by Table Wraps lent to richness of the affair. It was subdued...but added playfullness and sparkle to the table design. An outdoor cake cutting ceremony kicked off an amazing fireworks display. Guests were truly wowed and danced the night away! We wish the fun couple all the best! We really loved working with them.

Special thanks to our fabulous vendors:

Pink Comb Salon, Gloss and Shadow, Tackeff Photography (Brooke Ismach captured these fabulous images), John Carlos Borja on Video, Table Wraps, Touch of Elegance, NJ Photobooths, Elite Enterainment, Elegant Ensembles and Cam Turner Design.

Asia and Sean - A Castle Wedding With a Twist...

Sean and Asia are definitely not our average wedding planning couple. We typically have face to face meetings with our clients, join them on site visits, invite them to our office for design discussions, etc. But with this particular couple, the circumstances were anything but normal. Sean and Asia were serving our country in the military throughout the entire planning process. Needless to say, there were many obstacles. But we at PBW have such admiration and respect for the men and women protecting our country. So when the couple called us last year and asked us if were up for the challenge, we were honored and ready for it! After a year of many Yahoo chats and Skype calls, we were able execute a flawless event for our clients and give them the wedding of their dreams. The wedding was held at the beautiful Castle on Hudson in Tarrytown, NY. Guests flew in from all over the country to attend. It was simply a perfect day.

Sean and Asia may serve our country...but it was OUR pleasure serving them...and giving them a party they'll remember forever was our way of saying "thanks" for all they do for us.

Asia and Sean...thank you for the amazing experience. We wish you much love and safety as you venture back overseas.

Jenny and the PBW team

And let's not forget the amazing vendors who helped make the day fabulous!

Katie and Andrew - Garden Elegance at the Meadowwood Manor

On May 22 PBW clients Katie and Andrew were married at the gorgeous Meadowwood Manor in Randolph. The bride chose a color pallete of greens and purples and focused on a garden elegance motif. With florals by Touch of Elegance, and linens and rentals by Party Rental Ltd. we achieved a fabulous elegant room design. Special thanks to all the amazing vendors who helped make the day flawless: The staff at Meadowwood Manor, Sounds To Go DJs, Jar of Ideas Design, and Laura Bruen Photography. Here are a few pics I snapped that day...professional pics from Laura to come soon!

Congrats to the newlyweds...we wish them all the best!

Samples!

We've been so busy doing sample meetings over the past few weeks. I thought I'd share one of my faves...it's a very romantic garden-esqe inspired design that's going to look absolutely beautiful in the ballroom at the Meadowwood Manor. We layered a gorgeous floral motif plate with a gold rimmed charger. Then we dressed up a simple satin napkin with a spring inspired ribbon and an antique looking brooch. We're so excited for the big day...which is coming up later this month. With florals by Touch of Elegance and rentals by Party Rental Ltd, the design is sure to impress guests!

A Bridal Shower That Rocked!

It's not very often a client tells us "just make it fabulous...and WOW my daughter!" That's exactly what the Mother of our July 2011 bride Samantha told us when she hired us to design her daughter's bridal shower. If you knew Samantha, you'd know she's beyond cool and deserving of a bridal shower unlike any other! We decided to make it a "rocker chick" theme, incorporating black, silver and deep purples. And as you can see from the pics, it was quite cool! Special thanks to A Touch of Elegance for the amazing centerpieces, Table Wraps for the funky linens, Jar of Ideas for the rocker inspired stationery, and Il Tulipano for hosting the fun event. We're so excited to wrap up the design for Samantha's July wedding at the Venetian...we'll be sure to post those pics too!

Congrats Sam! You're one cool lady! Love ya!

"J-wow"

Congrats to Michelle and Steve!

And on Sunday the couple exchanged vows at St. Patrick's in Chatham and then celebrated at the gorgeous Liberty House in Jersey City. Below are some images taken by the always impressive Josh Lynn. I have to thank my A-Team Monique and Marcia...they really rocked it out on Sunday and helped me tremendously! A huge thanks to all the other vendors who helped make the day unforgettable!

Not your typical baby shower!

Babies, babies and more babies! While the name may fool you...Pampered Bride Weddings does alot more than just weddings these days!

The only event we love more than a wedding is a fabulous baby shower! Our very own Melissa, along with the creations by Lisa at Touch of Elegance, designed a very unique baby shower for one of our most favorite clients! PBW had the honor of planning Vanessa and Patrick's gorgeous Venetian wedding last year. When we found out she was expecting her first baby, we just knew the baby shower would have to be beyond fabulous!!! Forget everything you've heard about pink pacifiers, onesies and nursery rhymes...this shower ended all stereotypes!

Here are some pics by http://www.joshlynn.com/ from last Saturday's "animalistic" baby shower! Special thanks to Raven and the Peach and all the amazing vendors who helped make the puuuur-fect :)

Congrats to Jenna and Chris!

Last week we had the honor of helping Jenna and Chris on their wedding day! Jenna, owner of Sensibly Sweet (a vendor we use for custom cookies all the time!) had her dream wedding at the beautiful Manor in West Orange. Here are some amazing pics taken by http://www.joshlynn.com/. We wish the awesome couple all the best!!!!

Wedding Season is Upon Us!

So sorry for the lack of blogging but we've been super busy getting ready for the 2011 wedding season that's now upon us! It's hard to believe it's almost mid April already! Where has the time gone??? Over the next few months we will have the honor and privilege of working with some fabulous PBW clients at some of NY and NJ's most amazing venues! We'll be working at the Venetian, Palace, Crystal Springs, Castle on the Hudson, Meadowwood Manor and many more! We promise to post pics of these events just as soon as they happen! But for now, let me just congratulate this weekend's brides and wish them an amazing wedding day!!!

We're Baaaaaack! (With Good News)

We're so sorry for the delay in between blogs lately. It's not that we haven't been busy...it's quite the opposite actually! PBW has been hard at work building new relationships with venues, signing new clients and of course...collaborating on wedding related events! First and foremost...we're so proud to announce our new relationship with the Palace at Somerset Park. PBW has been named one of their preferred event planning vendors. We absolutely adore working at this amazing venue...so we're obviously so excited for the new clients we will be working with in the near future!

More fabulous news! Last weekend marked the 2nd annual Wedding Party! The turnout was fabulous and we could not have asked for a more swanky and posh bridal event. Lisa and her team at A Touch of Elegance designed an event that was simply breathtaking! Just check out some of her table designs below. Special thanks to all the vendors who participated. You guys rocked!!! And a huge congratulations to all the brides who won the amazing tricky tray prizes. Here's a picture of the myself and a bride who won a $500 gift certificate with PBW. We can't wait to help her with her August wedding. Oh....Did I mention one bride won a 20k wedding from Meadowwood Manor??? Wow!

Again, congratulations to Lisa and her team, as well a Eloquent Studios, Infinity Entertainment and the beautiful Meadowwood Manor for hosting a flawless event!
