Baseball Theme Wedding by Amorology
‘Round here, we definitely see our fair share of glitzy, glamorous and gorgeous wedding inspiration. And you know what? I NEVER get sick of it. Seriously, not ever. That said, every once in a while it’s nice to see something, well… a little different. Enter: the wedding of Josh and Nicole. This theme wedding = maximum adorableness! The day was designed and coordinated by the oh so fab Amorology Weddings team, and it seriously speaks to the concept of infusing the bride’s and groom’s characters into the day’s design. Because sometimes, you just have to have a little fun… and why not pack all that fun into your wedding day?!! Well, for Josh and Nicole, that meant dedicating their big day to the very thing that brought them together… BASEBALL! Remember, if you’d like to see the wedding in its entirety, just click right here! – xoxo, Alison of The Knotty Bride

Here’s the lowdown on the details, courtesy of the incredibly talented Heather Balliet, of Amorology Weddings:
While playing college baseball and softball, Josh and Nicole met and fell in love. In their spare time they would travel to new cities, making it a point to visit different ballparks. It seemed only fitting that we shared their love and passion for what brought them together with their guests at their wedding. We chose a palette of wine, soft pink and chocolate brown to work as a backdrop and compliment the ballroom at Estancia. I loved how the curtains at Estancia so perfectly seemed to mimic baseball stitching and diamond fields.
Following a beautiful Catholic ceremony, guests gathered at Estancia for cocktail hour. They were greeted by a display of a baseball bat, mitt and glove that sat upon a bed of peanuts and were asked to leave their autographs. Candy Concession workers tray passed traditional ballpark favorites like peanuts and crackerjacks with custom designed labels by Brightly Designed. We also filled the custom trays that Amorology created with chocolate baseballs, color-coordinated jelly beans and big league chew that were reminiscent of childhood favorites.
In continuing with the baseball feel, guests were escorted to the “Will Call” Table to pick up their tickets and find their seats. Tickets sat in alphabetized boxes of peanuts and indicated which section and seat the guests were to sit in. We specifically created the table names as sections that were displayed on paper baseballs. Each guest also a seat number tied to their chair with ribbon.
Robin Mathis of Twigg Botanicals created centerpieces made up of textured large florals such as dahlias, hydrangea, roses, calla lilies and orchids that sat atop tall glass vases filled with real baseballs. Smaller Trophy vases filled with grass, flowers and baseballs also ran the length of the banquet tables. The flowers really helped pull all of the fun elements together, including the flower girls’ pomander balls of carnations and rosehips that were constructed to replicate the stitching pattern on a baseball!
Mini coke bottles sat at each place setting and added a playful element in addition to the paper pennant flags that sat at each chair. One of the most magical moments of the evening was when the bride and groom were welcomed into the room by all of their guests cheering and waving the pennants that were customized with their names and wedding date. It was such a delightful and warm reception where you truly felt the love for them in the room.
For their favors, we combined the grooms love for morning pancakes with their love for baseball. We gave each guest buttermilk pancake mix with a recipe in a box labeled “hey batter, batter”.
The gorgeous cake sat atop of a custom cake box Amorology designed and built for Nicole and Josh. We incorporated their wine colors and also added a beautiful soft pink ribbon to the cake.
As a nod to the bride’s favorite movie ” A Leauge of Their Own”, Amorology designed and created a custom Photo backdrop that read things such as “Play Ball”, “Safe!”, ”Knock it Out of the Park”, “homerun”, etc. We collected various props for guests to have fun with while getting their pictures taken. All of Nicole and Josh’s guests had so much fun with the backdrop and really got into character with the bats, baseballs and gloves!
As a late-night treat, Nicole and Josh wanted their family and friends to build their own ice cream sundaes! Brightly designed created a “Bases Loaded” sign for us that listed all of the scrumptious ice cream toppings! Between the cake, concession trays filled with goodies and the loaded ice cream station, there was no shortage of delicious and playful treats!
Photographer, John Schnack of Schnack Studios did an amazing job capturing all of the details of the night! We know Josh and Nicole were thrilled with all of the gorgeous pictures from their special day. Nicole and Josh’s wedding was a “home run” with all of their guests. Everyone had such a great time dancing, eating great food and celebrating the love of Nicole and Josh that truly put them in “A League of Their Own.”
Thank you, Josh and Nicole, for allowing us to take a peek inside your super rad, super meaningful day! It’s clear you two had a ball, and we wish you all the best for a lifetime of happiness together!
xoxo, Alison of The Knotty Bride

That is so cool! Dream wedding, I 'm sure :)
Nice! Fun AND classy! Love it!
Hey batter batter! That is definitely awesome.
The only thing that seems to be missing is the priest or minister should be wearing a umpire's chest protector and face mask. Amazing concept.
Love the designs........wow! funfunfun............
I'm obsessed!! The perfect balance between elegance and fun. Such cute, well thought ideas. My personal favorite is the Hey batter batter pancake mix. Adorable!
This is one of the neatest weddings I have ever seen! I wish I had been a guest!
Each wedding should reflect the bride and grooms personal style. This one's a winner!
Such a fun idea!
I love that they kept it delicate and pretty while still celebrating their traditions!
Can I just express how much I love Amorology?!?! The two events (this one and the science-themed wedding) that I have seen from them have both been so incredibly creative, fun, and elegant at the same time. <3 <3 <3
What a super fun concept for a wedding. I love that it is formal with a fun twist. Gorgeous.
Gorgeous...the prefect combo of fun, unique and elegant! :-)
So much fun! My brother is one lucky guy ;)
I'm pretty sure this is the cutest wedding I've ever seen. Well executed! The bride looks amazing.
So cute and inventive! Seriously well executed.
I have to say this was absolutely what we had hoped it would be when we first met with Heather of Amorology. My mom was a little scared when I mentioned that we wanted to do a baseball theme to the wedding but I had complete trust in Heather and her vision! Everyone who attended the wedding still talks about it today and how amazing it was to be there and to now see it here makes it even more special. Thank you to Heather and your whole team for making my dream wedding become a reality! Obviously I would highly recommend Amorology even for a non-themed wedding because they did an absolutely incredible job with zero stress on my part!
Nicole, that melts my heart. Such a pure joy to work with you! I am the lucky one to have such incredible brides that inspire. Thank you for everyone's kind words and comments. It is always so fun to share the final results and know that people enjoy them!
I love, love, love this wedding! I'm a HUGE baseball fan and I love how they tied in the sport while staying elegant. Absolutely beautiful and creative!
I've never seen anything like this before. This is such a fun and cute wedding theme. I love the boxes of candy with the scoops and people handing them out. The Coca-cola bottles are such a great touch, too! Thanks for posting this one.
At first I thought this was a bit tacky, but then as I browsed the rest of the photographs I couldn't help but say awwwww. It actually turned out really cute. Definitely one of the most memorable weddings I've come across -Ravi Shanghavi, Ottawa, Canada
This is so so cool! I love every minute of it :0)
I love the centerpieces. When you look at them, you can almost feel a baseball in your hand. I also like these: http://www.magicalday.com/baseball-wedding-cake-topper.html " rel="nofollow">baseball cake toppers

Love all these ideas! I think my favorite is the background for the pictures, I Loved the groomsmen posing as if in a game. The siging of the bat was so perfect instead of the usual guest book. Thanks for sharing :)
This wedding looked amazing! Every detail was beautifully covered. Please let me know if the couple/photographer would allow us to use some of the photos on our website.
LOVE this!! I was thinking of doing a softball theme for my wedding in August, and my family and friends couldn't visualize the theme without it being overdone and tacky... I used these pictures to convince them (and my fiance!) it could be done! Where did you find those individual pancake batter packages? I've looked and can't find any.
That's how i want my wedding. Baseball is part of my love history too :)
I was just wondering if you could tell me where you got the coca cola bottles i am getting married at the lancaster barnstormers field and that was one of the ideas we had but i have been unable to find any. Your wedding was beutiful and i hope that my wedding ends up like yours! thanks in advance.
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS! My fiance & I are huge baseball fans, (GO CARDS!), Bill is the biggest die-hard fan I have ever known & sells baseball cards on the side....our first date "weekend" included two MiLB Baseball games....so naturally we will be getting married & have our reception at that very same MiLB Baseball field! I love all of these ideas.....especially the favor idea (Hey, Batter, Batter..) and the photo booth idea! So thank you for posting this! You help make all of my planning so much fun! Happy Wedding planning to all of the future brides! :)
Such great ideas, I would love to know where you got the pankcake batter boxes and bags? Did you make them or was it special order?
Can someone help me out and tell me where they ordered those baseball themed tickets from?!?! I want to order those for my place settings for all the guests and am running out of time... Any help on the exact site would be helpful.
My Email is sbooth@powerpay.biz
