The Ballroom looked amazing with huge white arrangements by White Cottage Gardens.   I love the added detail of the black flower in the back of each chair.

 

Can you tell they’re having fun here? Garland and Soul Session certainly know how to bring it!

Congratulations Lindsay & Dan!

Hot Trend: Wedding Man Caves

Wednesday, June 29th, 2011

The two words wedding and man cave, may seem like they don’t belong in the same sentance, but they are the newest trend for this years wedding season.  Also known as the “Groom Room”, man caves can be anything, as long as they are seperated from the reception.  This creates a place for the groom and his guy friends to hang out and enjoy parts of the wedding too.  Now we’re not suggesting that your groom run off and leave you alone all night, but it’s his big day too, why not make him feel special?

Keeping it personal is a great way to have a man cave mean something more than a just a group of guys being guys.  Maybe your groom is into stogies- hire a cigar roller and have a “signature cigar” for the men to enjoy while the ladies enjoy signature cocktails. Add jars of matchbooks with your names and the date to make it more personal.

Keep it fun for your guy by incorporating his favorite things, whether that’s an air hockey or foosball table, pool, darts, a TV playing the game (which you’ll find in the men’s room at Glen Sanders Mansion), poker tables, or even a video gaming system, the important thing is that it’s something he loves to do.

Is your guy a beer fan?  Why not tie in your location by having a microbrew tasting in the man cave from a local brewery.  Place some mixed nuts in oversized containers on the bar to give them some snacks as well.   Consider having the caterer pass some light hors d’oeurves just in the man cave like mini pizzas or boneless wings.

And of course, a man cave must be comfy.  Adding some sleek lounge furniture is one way to ensure the boys can kick back and relax.

Real Wedding Spotlight: Stephanie & Michael

More Memorial Day Weekend Weddings on Aisle Files!! This one at The Glen Sanders Mansion on May 29th, 2011.

This dress is so unique and beautiful!  Stephanie looks so pretty, and Michael Gallitelli and the team at Metroland Photography make capturing amazing images look easy!

Stephanie and Michael had a beautiful ceremony under the gazebo with music by All Seasons Trio.

The ballroom at Glen Sanders Mansion looked beautiful and Body and Soul kept the energy up all night!

I am loving the seating area on the new patio with the firepits, so fun, especially on a summer night.

Sliders, French Fries and mini milkshakes are just a few items that make up this fun Retro Station that is great for late night.  Who doesn’t want a burger and fries after drinks and dancing?

Congratulations Stephanie and Michael!
