Review Spotlight: Bridgette’s New Year’s Eve Nuptials!
How do you throw the New Year’s Eve wedding of your dreams? Well, if you’re Bridgette G., you hire East Coast Entertainment to keep the party poppin’! With a seamless planning process that culminated in a night to remember, Bridgette’s experience booking her band was nothing short of amazing:
“They were BY FAR my favorite vendor to work with throughout the whole process. I never expected such incredible service. I would recommend them and the band Love Tribe any day of the week!... From the seamless coordinating, thorough communication, attention to detail and delivering on every promise, Stacy, East Coast and Love Tribe were all absolute professionals - can't recommend them all enough! They single-handedly set the celebratory tone for our New Year's Eve wedding reception and can make any wedding day the best party you'll ever throw!” – Bridgette G., married 12.31.14
Congratulations on what we know was an epic way to ring in the new year, Bridgette! Cheers to many years of love and happiness as a MRS.
Check out these East Coast Entertainment affairs... the looks of sheer bliss tell us each of these weddings were a total blast!
Brides dancing, laughing, and singing... dads breaking it down on the dance floor... these definitely look like parties we’d want to attend! Can we get an invite next time? ;)

Lipstick and bronzer and hairspray, oh my!
We couldn’t be more excited to talk all things bridal beauty next Tuesday at our Spring Pick-Me-Up event. Beauty tips and mini makeovers from Lou Stevens Glam Squad + delicious sweets and bubbly from The Renaissance = the perfect night out! We have a few spaces left, so RSVP today!
A Purple Wedding that POPS!
If there’s one thing we love, it’s attention to detail... and Julie & Steven’s Goochland wedding is brimming with beautiful touches that take our breath away! From succulent favors that double as place cards to a confetti themed invitation suite that incorporates their wedding colors seamlessly, these lovebirds truly planned an affair to remember! Luckily for us, Katelyn James Photography captured their big day perfectly:
The couple opted for a classically-decorated cutting cake and an assortment of cupcakes from Pearl’s that we’re sure had their guests drooling. Don’t you just love the adorable cake topper??
And yes, their dog even played a key role in the wedding: Flower girl!
This cheerful affair took place at the historic Clover Forest Plantation in Goochland, with all of the stunning details coordinated by Ashley Baber Weddings. The entire vendor team truly outdid themselves on this one! To see more photos and the full vendor team, check out the Real Wedding on WeddingWire.

Until next time, Happy Planning!

How do you wedding plan?
If you’re anything like I was when I was engaged, your phone’s likely filled with photos of your venue, invitation samples, wedding craft projects, tablescape ideas... and the list goes on. Every time I received a wedding-related package in the mail or completed one of my many gold glittery DIYs, I took a photo and sent it to my MOH. I just couldn’t help myself! I loved the excitement of the planning process, and I loved sharing my progress. I was constantly discovering new ideas and planning seemed to happen at every turn.
Sound familiar? Before we get to the real weddings, we go through the real wedding planning. We make countless decisions that culminate in a Big Day that is uniquely ours, so why not share this love-filled journey with other engaged couples? After all, you never know who you might inspire or where your next planning ideas will come from!

Wedding Review Spotlight
How sweet it is... to eat cake! Today’s review spotlight has our sweet tooth acting all kinds of crazy, and we can’t thank Jency L. enough for sharing her sweet experience with us:
“My husband & I only did one cake tasting before our wedding. We were sold right away. Sweet Fix delivers a wonderful product... you can mix and match frostings, batters and fillings for any combinations that you want. You can also customize how much you want for your event, just the cakes or a full dessert table design.” – Jency L., married 10.11.14
Check out some of Sweet Fix’s beautiful baked creations:
Stripes, flowers, gold... we love it all! Don’t you just wish you could slice into one of these beauties right about now?

Fun Times with Fresh Florals!
Friday marked the first day of Spring, so we embraced the seasonal shift on Sunday with a floral-themed event that won’t soon be forgotten! Engaged couples, family, and friends joined WeddingWire Richmond at Urban Farmhouse in Church Hill for a fresh florals workshop, where we learned the ins and outs of wedding flowers. Sarah, of Petals & Twigs, discussed bouquet styles and color combinations, while fielding questions from the crowd and providing expert insight.
After hearing tips on how to repurpose flowers from the ceremony to the reception and how to incorporate greenery, succulents, and even herbs (rosemary is a good one!) into arrangements, it was time to get hands-on! With festival season just around the corner, we opted to create everyone’s favorite floral accessory – flower crowns! Perfect for showers, bachelorette parties, or a bride on her big day, the flower crown is a timeless piece that couldn’t be more fun to create! Sarah gave us a brief tutorial, and then guests picked out their favorite petals and turned them into bohemian masterpieces.
We had so much fun and everyone’s flower crown was super impressive. I definitely see a lot of these in my future, and I envy the bride who dons one of these perfect petal headpieces on her wedding day. Can I get a do-over? jk ;)... A huge thank you to Abigail Volkmann Photography for capturing the workshop on camera, and letting us relive such a beautiful afternoon!
Keep an eye out for our next WeddingWire Richmond community event, but until then, Happy Planning!
We’re so excited to learn all about flowers, and make something beautiful ourselves! RSVP today and join us on Sunday!
