I had a different post planned for today but something pretty special happened in the Garden State yesterday: same sex marriage equality! I'm a firm believer that love is equal for ALL & I couldn't be more excited that everyone can get married in my state now. Hoboken hosted its first same sex marriage yesterday, as did many other Jersey towns. & this is just the beginning. Three cheers to marriage equality!
So let's throw some confetti, pop some champagne & admire some rainbow bridal parties in the name of marriage equality, shall we? Yes, I know the last one is a bit of a stretch but work with me here. Yay marriage equality in New Jersey!!!

Once I spied this bold orange wedding cake, my fall-loving heart fell in love. It's the perfect shade of orange that reminds me of October. Of the chunky pumpkins lining the front steps of local brownstones. Of the fiery leaves changing the tall trees of the local park. Of fall. Of autumn.
& the when pigs fly cake topper? That's just the icing on the orange wedding cake!

Friday is here! I, for one, am absolutely relieved to have this crazy week behind me. I think the pumpkin patch is calling my name this weekend. Before I get lost in plump pumpkin & fresh apple cider fever, here is a sneak peek at next Wedding Wednesday:
Next week, we're taking a break from the cool fall temperatures & basking in a sunny, warm Naples, Florida wedding. With a crisp orange & white color palette, this wedding is an absolute beauty. Don't miss a single pretty detail- join us next Wedding Wednesday!
Please take a moment to admire the Unique Grounds for Sculpture New Jersey Wedding if you haven't already.
Have an amazing weekend!

Happy Wedding Wednesday!
How is this Garden State wedding unique? Let me count the ways. The amazing wedding gown. The incredible location. The simple blooms. Pretty much everything! John O'Boyle Photography shows us the beauty:
Emily & Nick got married on September 15 at Grounds for Sculpture, a fabulous 42-acre sculpture park in Hamilton, New Jersey. Their wedding day was sunny & beautiful, just perfect for saying "I Do" among the outdoor collection of sculptures. Carrying a single pink bloom & wearing a unique wedding gown, the gorgeous Bride meet her handsome Groom at the unadorned altar surrounded by water & water lilies. They pledged their love in front of their family & friends, becoming husband & wife. Afterwards, the newlyweds were free to wander the lovely sculpture grounds & capture the sweet moments forever. At the reception, traditional flower arrangements were nixed in favor of colorful china, cobalt blue goblets & candlelight decorating the tables. The festive celebration continued with cocktails, dinner & dancing. The night grew long, the white cake with fresh roses was cut & the wedding drew to a close. Just another fantastic wedding in the Garden State!
My Favorite Moment: I didn't get to include the First Look because the feature became too lengthy- you'll have to trust me. It was precious!
My Favorite Detail: The Bride's wedding gown. The more I look at it, the more intricate details I notice. It's one-of-a-kind!
Congratulations, Emily & Nick!
VENDOR LOVE:

Fall mums have made their grand entrance in my home sweet home of Hoboken. In glorious shades of autumn, they grace the front stoops of brownstones & beautify the landscape of parks. Mums equal fall, it's that simple. So is there anything more perfect for a fall wedding cake than a fresh golden-orange mum topper? Celebrate the season, celebrate the love!

Happy Friday! Any big weekend plans? I haven't been feeling great & I plan to simply take it easy. Sometimes it's good to step back & take a breather. Before I get too comfy, here is a sneak peek at next Wedding Wednesday:
As a born & bred Jersey girl, I am so proud & excited to bring you a beautiful New Jersey wedding! I've been featuring real weddings for one & a half years, yet this is only my second New Jersey wedding. New Jersey gets a bad rap, thanks Real Housewives of New Jersey, but I promise it is full of wonderful people & amazing places. Check back next Wedding Wednesday to see a lovely glimpse of a Garden State wedding!
If you haven't already, take a moment to admire this week's Purple & Vermont Wedding.
Have a great weekend!
