Pennsylvania Wedding

Lot''s of really good ideas featured in this wedding on the Style Me Pretty blog. Take a look at the elegant wedding invitations.

Our favorite memory of the day was our wedding parade! The first vendor we hired wasn’t the caterer or the photographer, it was Ray the Scottish bagpiper. One of the only things we knew in our initial planning phase was that we wanted to parade our guests through town, past the lantern lit historical buildings and through the friendly streets of Doylestown to the reception site at Aunt Sara’s house. This made picking a church very easy – it had to be within walking distance of our reception site, a.k.a Aunt Sara’s which was 7 blocks away! The parade was filled with fun touches that Amber Karson Events created for us. Groomsmen held up a homemade banner that read “Just Married”. Tristan and I carried large, white balloons. Walter, our spoiled English bulldog and ring bearer, was kept in tow with the help of a red, Radio Flyer wagon. And each guest happily waved their ribbon wands and fabric pennants. Cars pulled over and honked their horns wishing us good luck as we walked by. Looking back, it was like something out of a story book. The smiles on our friends and families faces were absolutely priceless. We paraded under the bluest sky and brightest sun that afternoon. When we arrived at Aunt Sara’s our paraders where served Tristan’s favorite drink, Bourbon & Ginger Ale with a slice of lime. Antique drawers I sanded and painted served as trays for the drinks, which were served up in hand blown tumblers and adorned with gray and white paper straws…the perfect refresher after the long walk through town.
