You can see the joy in her smile as she anticipates her most special moment.

If a pair of Claudia Ciuti ‘Delice‘ shoes are at the end of that rainbow, that leprechaun is going to have to fight me for them!

An elegant portrait neckline and sleek silhouette are partnered with a little give in the satin fabric. Your mother will dance the night away in this classy dress from Maggy London found at Nordstrom.

Royal Asscher’s Pavo Multi Band Ring is woven together in such a fashion that it is almost impossible to tell where it begins and where it ends. That seems to be metaphorical for true love!

Karen Chittenden and Andy Fathollahi’s fortuitous meeting occurred when Karen, who was a server at the time, spilled a glass of water on her guest, Andy! His proposal of marriage to Karen in the middle of Union Square led to a gem of a wedding that was accented with rich jewel-toned floral arrangements and decór. The love, joy and humor of their friends and family made it a special day for the couple. Karen and Andy not only are married to one another, they also work together at Incipio Technologies.

Check out all of the fun this couple brought to their day by flipping through Ceremony Magazine’s online magazines!

Ooh la la, pink peonies contrasting the sage and champagne colored cake, the delicate frosted detailing and glittering gold embossed fleur de lis all combine to create a Francophile’s dream cake. Merci beaucoup, Fleur de Lisa Cakes!
