Modern Yellow & Gray Wedding From Laurel McConnell Photography

“I am so excited to have our wedding featured on the Little Black Book Blog! Style Me Pretty was my ‘go to’ site when planning our wedding!”

“I guess I’d have to say that a lot of the inspiration for my wedding stemmed from my Mother, my best friend. She passed away five years ago, but in the weeks leading up to her death, we were able to sit down and cut out pictures and discuss just what it would be like! I was actually extremely lucky to be able to spend so much time with her.” – Caitlin (smp bride!)

Caitlin ~ we know your mom was right there with you … whispering how lovely you were and how much she loves you {and probably had a huge smile on her face over your super-cute yellow shoes}!

Caitlin had a general idea of what she wanted … but wasn’t exactly sure how to pull together all her ideas. She did know a few things, though. She knew she wanted to walk down the aisle to “All I Want Is You” …..

She knew she wanted a happy, fun-filled day surrounded by her family and friends. She knew she wanted her wedding to have a modern vibe with traditional Jewish celebrations. But that was about it! ENTER her terrific wedding planner and designer, Shannon!  Caitlin says, “Our wedding would have never come to life without Shannon Lassen of Sublime Events!”

One of the very special touches in Caitlin and Dan’s ceremony was incorporating her grandfather’s prayer shawl in the chuppah.

Oh! Two more things Caitlin wanted?

1. She wanted to walk back down the aisle with Dan to “You & Me” playing!

2. She wanted CANDY. Lots and lots of candy!

The fantastic cake stand was designed by Clara French. Gorgeous florals by Elements in Bloom.

And the day was captured to perfection by LBB member, Laurel McConnell.

Sooooooooo many more delightful shots from Caitlin and Dan’s wedding on Laurel’s blog and in the SMP Photo Gallery!

Our Congratulations to Caitlin & Dan!

    Beautiful wedding. Love the sash too!
    Can we find out where the bride got it (of it she made, where she got the embellishment).
    Thanks

    i love your colors! i'm wondering where/how you made the crossword puzzles? and the bridesmaid dresses!

  9. Gayle says:

    I absolutely love the bridesmaid dresses! They are so adorable!

  13. Natalie says:

    I love the sash! Where can I find it?

  14. Caitlin says:

    This is so amazing, and I am honored to have my wedding day displayed. Thanks for all the kind words.. To answer your questions: The bridesmaid dresses were Vera Wang, the sash & dress was from Watters & Watters but the dress shoulder portions were hand done (I needed my shoulders covered in the Jewish Ceremony- which was taken off later), and the crossword I did online! You can just go to: http://www.armoredpenguin.com/crossword/ and then you can have someone print it (my amazing stationary people at Brown Sugar Designs did it..)

    Oh- and Laurel & Shannon are simply the BEST! They really made this day happen.Thanks Eddye!

  15. Tanya Davis says:

    We had a wonderful time working on the flowers for this event - the linens, the design space and of course the beautiful bride made it all come to life! I absolutely LOVE that cake too!

  16. Stacy says:

    Who is that hot groomsman, and is he single??

  17. O'Brien says:

    This was one of the most visually striking and super fun weddings to attend. All the details were handled just so - fantastic food, flowers, venue. Oh, and the couple are pretty fantastic, too. These pictures take me straight back to dancing the night away!

    What a beautiful wedding! I love the candy table and the cake is gorgeous!
