Hot Off the Presses!


"A Certain Grandeur" (pp. 78-85) covers the breathtaking marriage of Vannessa Abreu to Patrick Deyhle at the Venetian in New Brunswick, NJ. Olde-world class was seamlessly accented with modern elements in this palatial show-stopper. Watch for a variety of table shapes & sizes, along with a mirrored sweetheart table fit for a queen. What a magnificent ballroom! Featuring the incomparable photography of Josh Lynn.



We are honored to have not one, but three, Real Weddings featured in this edition of New Jersey Bride!
"Tropical Extravaganza" (pp. 172-173) highlights Ashley Newborn and Anthony Bertolini getting hitched at the Palace at Somerset Park, in Somerset. This event gets my vote for most PIZAZZ of the year - vibrant tropical flowers, twelve-foot palm trees, and a rock-and-roll back story. An animal theme was supported by a "kissing lovebirds" cake, live fish in the centerpieces, and having "Juicy" the Yorkie as a flower girl. All of these eclectic elements were woven together with whimsy by event planner extraordinaire, Jenny Orsini, owner of Pampered Brides Weddings.
"I Carry Your Heart with Me" (pp. 176-177) is the poetic story of the romantic wedding of Claudia Kim and Andrew Wu at the Crystal Plaza in Livingston. The romanticism found in the grand ballroom of the Crystal Plaza was played upon perfectly with mostly black-and-white fashion and flowers, with the addition of hot pink for a trendy signature touch.
"Enchanted Garden" (pp. 180-181) is the must-see magical wedding of Dorian Muench and Kevin Fritze at the Spring Brook Country Club in Morristown. The scope of this vision knew no bounds as we spun a fairy tale with talented planner, Samantha Goldberg. Our largest production to date, the entire venue from ceiling to floor was covered with fresh flowers, greenery, and real trees. Even the chargers, napkin holders, and menu holders were customized out of oak and birch trees. Without a doubt, one of my favorites!
Congratulations to all four of our featured couples; may you continue to be happy and prosperous in 2011 and the years to come!
