Kentucky boy meets Pennsylvania beauty

picture-19.pngFast forward to March 2008 to Amy & Dustin’s very happy ending at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church and The F.U.E.L. House. Amy is a former equestrian from St. Davids (who speaks Spanish like a native!) turned law student in Washington DC. Dustin is is a former Top Gun pilot with the U.S. Air Force who is now a consultant at a firm in Northern Virginia.

Aside from occurring in one of my favorite Philadelphia venues, the wedding’s color combination was stunning  copper, super green, blush pink and ivory. We placed deep copper linens on the tables with handmade green dupioni silk runners. It just looked amazing. The flowers were gorgeous bouquets and arrangements of perfectly blended tulips, peonies, tulips and sweet peas — and, of course, cherry blossoms! The invitations, seating cards and table numbers were perfectly coordinated with green bands and copper ribbon. And, thanks to Lotus Cake Studio, the cake was a beautiful and delicious representation of the great invitations — proof positive that you don’t have to sacrifice a delicious cake to have a beautiful cake. (Read: you can look at your cake and eat it, too!)

The bride and groom are also big movie buffs so they had a great time coming up with movie titles for table names while Amy’s mom went searching for the perfect movie posters to hang in the great upstairs bathroom. Finally, the groom and the bride’s father shared a love of bourbon, so Feastivites Catering expertly created an authentic and irresistible bourbon bar with nothing but the best bourbons one can buy straight from Kentucky. And the favors were fun Knob’s Creek bourbon mini bottles–the guests were absolutely thrilled.

And – Oh!My!God! The band was AMAZING! I can honestly say that this was one party I truly wish I was invited to!
