I’m taking a page from Marie Labbancz’s playbook and presenting this absolutely incredible wedding in stages.    Marie did a phenomenal job shooting this wedding.   The couple was so beautiful, so in love and just a BLAST to work with.  We had a great year putting this wedding together with them.  And before the night was up, we learned that their friends and family were every bit as much fun as they are!   Truly — a great time was had by all! 

Before we get into the details, I want you to see what the happiest woman alive looks like:

So, here’s how it all started.   Beautiful Elum invitations — have you ever touched one of these invitations? They are amazing,   The paper is just incredible.  

We had really cool booklets created for the out-of-towners with maps with all the fun wedding weekend locations.  And of course, Eclatante’s famous wedding weekend itinerary (which is always the source of some humor!) were handed out to the wedding party.

Now, the dress — well, getting dressed anyway.   Roseann had a team of people who  lovingly helped her prepare for her fabulous day.  Along with her mom (I so miss Rosemary!), there was Cindi from The Bridal Garden who helped Roseann step into her gown and the amazing Claudia Seyler whose hair & makeup artistry was nothing short of gorgeous.  Everything was perfect – including the magnificent Monique Lhuillier gown with a spectacular over-skirt for the classic and beautifully traditional ceremony to be removed once the couple arrived at the very hip F.U.E.L. House.

Did I mention the shoes?   AWESOME copper Manolo Blahniks that Roseann pulled out of their box and stared at every day for months.  

Roseann was blessed to be surrounded by a truly wonderful mom, fantastic friends and a team of people who just adore her!   The start of a perfect day began.

Of course, the rain was simply unreal that day.   But you will see that the rain couldn’t put a dent in this amazing day.  Stay tuned for more of Roseann & Paal.
