Dakota and Alex's wedding at a Private Estate in Venice, was absolutely amazing. The wedding had a sophisticated romantic, Shakespearian feel. The design was inspired by a tapestry, 'The Unicorn in Captivity,' a piece made to commemorate the wedding of Louis Xll to Anne of Brittany. 
 
Dakota looked stunning in a strapless wedding gown with a cathedral-length wedding gown, one of two looks for the evening. 
 
The bride made her entrance walking halfway down the cathedral's aisle by herself before having her parents join her for the rest of the walk to her groom.
 
Following their wedding ceremony, the couple made their way to the reception site at a private estate, where they had plenty of time for some fantastic wedding photos. Dakota is very passionate about her horses. Her champion horse, Goose, was included in the wedding as her Unicorn. 
 
A large tent was erected on the expansive property for dinner and dancing, allowing for lots of space surrounding the tent for the cocktail reception.
 
Under the tent, there were a number of long wooden feasting tables, allowing larger groups of extended family to sit together. The center of the wooden tables was filled with shimmering pink fabric runners and eclectic vases filled with pink and white flowers. Rose gold goblets filled with candles and dozens of votive candles wound their way down the tables. Additionally, round tables were draped in pink sequin linen with round mirrors layered with delicate floral arrangements and candles as their centerpieces. Gold chivari chairs, charger plates, and flatware, and pink satin napkins tied in a French knot connected the two collections together. 
 
The reception was filled with incredible details reflecting the couple and the romantic, sophisticated vibe. A neon sign with a unicorn and the couple's last name, a candy buffet with a unicorn ice carving we just a few details. 
 
The couple's wedding cake was amazing! The three-tiered square wedding cake was displayed inside a white wrought iron gazebo covered in beautiful floral clusters. The cake itself hung on a glass disc draped in crystals and was topped with a unicorn. Lighting the cake from underneath created a shimmering effect and made the cake appear to float in midair.
 
This spectacular wedding was truly one of a kind.

This Sunset Beach Resort wedding was so sweet! From the couple and the soft color story to all the sweet treats -this wedding was a pleasure for our Jennifer Matteo Event Planning team.

​The couple were both were fun, laid back, and easy to work with, allowing our team to take their vision and create their dream wedding. 
 
Jayme and Dylan were one of our Jennifer Matteo Event Planning couples who had to postpone their 2020 wedding. They waited seven months and could not have been more excited to finally get married!
 
Their custom wedding invitation suite included a "You Can't Quarantine Love!" change the date card, complete with a custom drawing of the masked couple.
 
Jayme looked stunning in a modern wedding gown swirling in white sequin. She carried a loose hand-tied bridal bouquet of textured white florals and lush greenery. It was accented by a handkerchief with a hand-stitched message. "Jayme, I will be with you today and always. Grandpa"
 
Dylan looked quite handsome, walking barefoot wearing linen slacks, a white shirt with suspenders. 
 
The couple enjoyed a first look and some time together before their beach wedding ceremony. A simple white frame wedding structure with boughs of greenery and a few flowers was the perfect backdrop.
 
An outdoor wedding reception was created under a canopy of twinkling market lights. Rustic wooden farmhouse tables were topped with a soft pink fabric runner. Eclectic collections of glassware filled with pink and white flowers surrounded by votive candles filled the center of the long tables. Glass charger plates with a gold scalloped edge and gold flatware and custom menu cards completed the romantic look.

And, how much do you love the mismatched wooden dining room chairs?
 
Jayme and Dylan took to the dancefloor for their first dance to "Everything" by Michael Bublé, followed by dinner and a few toasts. 
 
Their intimate, single-tier gold drip wedding cake was one of the delicious sweet treats to compliment the evening. An assortment of sized treats and a custom-designed donut wall captured the attention of their wedding guests.
 
The evening continued with parent and wedding party dances before opening up the dancefloor for a night of dancing under the stars.
 
Congratulations, Jayme and Dylan. We wish you a very sweet life!
