Sam and Phil

On occasion, it just never works out for us to meet our couples in person prior to their wedding weekend and this was one of those situations. But thanks to social media, we felt as though we had met. Hugs all around for everyone prior to the rehearsal (course we are huggers anyway so nothing unusual there!)

A simple yet oh so elegant intimate outdoor fall wedding with a gorgeous color palette and GASP, the weather was perfect! Didn’t have to dodge rain the entire day! Sam’s dress was just perfect for her; simple, elegant and absolutely beautiful!

Sam fashioned the centerpieces and her special touches were visible in many places during their special day. Sometimes we find out details on the wedding day that we didn’t know about that make everything fall right into place in our heads. Sam was a VT cheerleader so there was no lack of Hokie cheers, led by the bride, while VT played East Carolina. Of course, someone had it streaming in so everyone could keep up with the score.

There were many moments throughout the day when Sam and Phil’s love for each other was absolutely shining; a glowing reminder of why we love what we do! Another perfect wedding day in the books for EBS!

Lauren and Troy

Another amazing wedding in the books! Lauren and Troy’s wedding day dawned with the clearest Fall sky ever. A bit warm for me but at least it wasn’t raining!

It was clear to me from the first time I saw Lauren and Troy together that they were truly meant to be with one another. Their love for each other was evident by just looking at the two of them together.

Lauren is very family-oriented as evidenced by having her family members as her attendants, junior attendants, flower girls and ringbearers. Her cousin was her Matron of Honor and while I missed her toast to the happy couple (taking care of details and was out of earshot) it is clear that those two are extremely close and have been for many, many years. And her entire family, along with simply amazing vendors, worked tirelessly with her to create her vision. It was truly a testament to large, close families who work together to achieve a common goal. Don’t want to get philosophical here but it was really refreshing to see that as families today are sometimes scattered to the ends of the world and lose touch with each other. . . but not in this case.

Many, many small details all came together flawlessly to make their “perfect day.” Lauren said that she wished “it could have never ended” and that is was “literally the best day of my life thus far.” Makes our hearts very happy to hear that!

Florals & food were amazing, as usual; the band (first time we had worked with this one) was stellar and one of the best I’ve ever worked with; the minister was a former bride of mine so that was extra special for me; the venue was spectacular; cake was scrumptious; ceremony music and vocalist were superb; a new photobooth that was really fun and was enjoyed by all the guests; a famous vintage vehicle to transport the bride and groom; and a great videographer who just happened to have gotten married at this venue and photographer – all came together to make one fantastic wedding day for Lauren and Troy!

All the best to a wonderful couple as they begin their new journey as Dr. and Mrs.!
