We promised you the details from Suzanne and Justin’s wedding (hours ago) … but believe us when we say, this is SO worth the wait! We’re not even going to ooh or ahh … just yet … (but it’s really hard not to say, “OMG, isn’t this the cutest idea ever ?!”)









Honestly, I don’t even know where to start!
The precious pillow toss? The ice-cream bar? Cupcakes galore? Cute-cute-cute escort & table cards? The dichotomy of grand floral displays vs. sweet, simple blooms? The mantle filled to overflowing with floating candles? (dot, dot, dot)
Suzanne and Justin … this all started with a TIE ???


What’s another word for PERFECT ?
Thank you … to everyone involved in bringing Suzanne and Justin’s wedding to fruition. You all did an amazing job! And we are so proud to feature it on Style Me Pretty. Any and all who contributed to their day, please let us know below!
For all of the delicious details (and so much more), Justin and Mary Marantz have posted this fabulous wedding on their site. These guys stand for all that is good, all that is beautiful … all rolled up into one awesome package.
Oh! Wait! We can’t leave out Julia! Julia is now their 2nd shooter ( or 3rd?). Her wedding was featured HERE (so detail-oriented it’s 6 parts) … and her all-time favorite vintage-themed engagement shoot HERE! Ha! Love it! Love you guys!!

Beautiful wedding - great shots, I love the interesting flower centerpieces and the great ice-cream bar
I can't believe Cornhole has made it out of Ohio! All details are amazing.
Love that bridal party in hues of blue, purple and black. So chic!!
OMG, Suzanne is a good friend and I attended this wedding! So excited to see it on SMP!
I love the soft color palette!! And the dsssert bar looks so good!!!!!
I LOVE the baggo (aka cornhole)...esp the colors of the bags! We are thinking of having yard games at our wedding!
cornhole has made it everywhere! We were taught that game from my sister-in-law who grew up in Indiana and just last weekend met a guy in Boise Idaho who called it Bags, but said they play every weekend! Went to a wedding in Texas in Feb where they had the bean bags initialed with P- for the bride and Z- for the groom. Such a cute idea!
I love this! We're planning on using corks for our place holders as well!
Anyone know what type of flowers those are (in the pic right below the little girl)??
Tina- Looks like there are purple orchids and other flowers mixed in the bouqet. Hard to tell from the angle of the photo but the light purple flowers look like maybe a snap-dragon or hydrangea. Yep us Texans have been playing that game for since I was a kid. We called it bean bag toss.
I love the ice cream bar. I was going to do that instead of grooms cake because my FI loves ice cream. I thought of that a year ago before I started reading the websites and now that I see photos I'm so in love with the idea!
I'm the bride, working on very little wifi over here in Slovenia, but loving so dearly Justin and Mary, their photos and writing. I believe there are sweet peas in the bouquet, but I'll doublecheck when I get home next week. Everyone - from Mary at Floral Affair to Felicia at her Sweetface Pastry Shoppe to the corporate crew from Sodexo, to Katherine at the Branford House, to Uri Sharlin and his klezmer/jazz music, did an amazing job, and Justin and I are thrilled beyond what we thought was possible! I can answer further questions when I am back in the states. Have a wonderful evening!
Glorious wedding, such incredible taste combined with whimsy. Had to be a blast...
Does anyone know where they got the ice cream cone holders??? I want some for my candy bar and I can only find ones in squares which hold 6 or 9 max. I like the length of hers!
Stunning!! I love every detail of this incredibly pretty event. Just love it!!
Beautiful wedding. Suzanne, I am having a winery wedding so I love your use of the corks for the table numbers and seating cards. How did you manage to shave off the bottom to get them to stand? And then did you just slice into them to hold the card?
Can I just say.. I love this whole wedding? Stunning.
The bean bag toss is so cute! We have it in KS too. The whole wedding is fantastic!
Hi Ariel - the placecard holders were sliced with a *very* sharp kitchen knife. My kind and diligent father-in-law did them - he sliced off a little less than half, so they would stand (which they did fine) but still show most of the words or images. Then he sliced about 1/4" into the top, at a slight angle, so that the cards would sit back just a bit. We designed, printed, and sliced the cards ourselves. We had collected corks for months - everyone participated, which was really fun!
Wow what a great project. Thanks for all the info! And congratulations!
These are gorgeous photos. And I, too, loooooooooooooove the bride! :)
What a beautiful Wedding
Love the Pics. Can you please list the vendors you had used linens, flowers , cupcakes. I also love the two glass cupcake holders on your sweetheart table. Can you tell me where they were purchased from?Also who was your caterer?
My daughter is getting married at the Branford House next July so any advise would gladly be appreciated.
thanks
