Amanda and Tomas at Pleasantdale Chateau

Details of the day!
Our wedding was a true fairytale. The colors of the wedding were white, black, blushes, dusty rose, champagnes. Our flowers by Twisted Willow were perfect – white with touches of blushes and very romantic. My bridesmaids were in a dusty rose/champagne colors, with all different dresses and all different materials. Tom’s groomsmen were in black but he was in a subtly patterned deep blue tux that looked black from Sal Lauretta. The reception was spectacular, there were three types of centerpieces – 1) Tree-like and higher 2) Candelabras wrapped in flowers 3) Lower, wider flower arrangements. Also the sweetheart table was just stunning with draping orchards and lit candles. There was candlelight up-lighting by JB Lighting Production and an amazing lighting monogram in the dome. The DJ, Tony, with our two instrumentalists were amazing. Tony from SCE is awesome! The Pleasantdale staff were extraordinary. Santiago and his team are super professional and did an amazing job with all the food and service. My wedding planner, Danielle, was a gift from above as the day wouldn’t have been as seamless without her or her team. Our first dance, which Tom choreographed himself was a highlight, our parent dances were highlights as we did voiceovers for both of them that brought them and our guests to tears, and the passing desserts instead of a Viennese hour was also a highlight. To end the night we had our bridal parties and guests do a sparkler tunnel for us to get a great picture outside!

Any advice for future brides?
Enjoy every minute because the day goes by so fast. Take in every sense you can and consume yourself with everything around you. Also, even though it’s stressful from when you get engaged to the day of the wedding, it all comes together beautifully that day.
