To create the Mad Men inspired picnic shoot, we created a “Mad for each other” Theme complete with “Madly in love” Drink straws in vintage milk jugs filled with lemonade.

Paperwheels, made out of newspapers, were created of every size and placed in vintage suitcases, used as garlands and even cupcake toppers to really tie the vintage and whimsically fun theme together.

These are one of my favorite, mini paperwheel toppers out of newspaper, sitting prettily atop Sprinkles‘ cupcakes…yum!

Check out Annikke’s vintage jewelry!

Love the shoes, absolutely LOVE.

Congratulations to our beautiful couple, can’t wait for the wedding in October!  Special thanks to Gladys for capturing the magic and thanks to Milk Glass Vintage Rentals for our fun props.

And now for some fun at the Boardwalk…

Seriously gorgeous right?!  Thanks again to Vivian of Vivian Sachs Photography for all this sweet loveliness on a Friday Afternoon!

Here are some custom made programs that we designed and produced for the couple as well as some bubble wands that the guests used to congratulate the happy couple after their I Do’s.  Later on in the evening, I saw some of the guests still blowing bubbles at the reception which signifies that these were a definite hit!

For the Escort Cards, our wonderful friends at Milk Glass Vintage Rentals provided two very beautiful, rustic doors for us to display our cards.  The guests loved this display and we are so happy that they liked our design!

We also designed and created a seating chart to help the guests find their tables better since we didn’t use traditional numbers as table indicators.  A nice rustic box was also provided for the cards.

A part of the ceremony design was based on colorful paper wheels and we carried them on through to some of the other parts of the wedding.  We also had a rustic and whimsical theme so for the dinner reception, we had chalkboard signs for the Bride and Groom chairs and for the cocktail reception, we had a custom chalkboard of the menu…this was actually perfect since the catering was done by Le Papillon so our chalkboard usage was very fitting for the French cuisine!

We created this display for the shot of the rings, I absolutely love this photo because it is complete rustic charm.

For the Dinner Reception, tables were named after the couple’s favorite restaurants and a description of why each was so special were placed on custom made labels (by us!) on wine bottles.  We had a mix of two designs for the tables, one with lanterns filled with flowers and the other of alternating vase heights with tulips.

Mamie and Derek’s favorite game was taboo and they wanted all their guests to have something fun to do at their tables as well so we put together bundles of Taboo Cards per table with a note letting the guests know to have a little fun.

Derek’s mom is just one of the sweetest and most adorable of people that you will ever meet.  She actually made all the wedding favors which were home made English Toffee!  She’s incredible!

The amazing cake was created by Cake Coquette with a mix of red velvet and strawberry flavors and let me tell you, this was one of the best wedding cakes that I’ve ever tasted!  One of my favorite moments of the wedding was the couple’s First Dance because it was so sweet and so filled with love.

Thanks again to Mamie and Derek for letting us plan and design their special day, stay tuned for the official photos from Elle Jae!
