I know you’ve been wondering where we’ve been lately. We haven’t abandoned our blog. Instead, we’ve made the move from Blogger over to Wordpress. Our new blog address is
www.affairswithelegance.com/blog. Don’t worry we didn’t leave anything behind…all of our previous blog posts made the move with us.
We look forward to getting back to our regular blogging schedule starting tomorrow. Hope you'll join us.

I loved the earlier season's of The Style Network's "Whose Wedding Is It Anyway?". . . when they use to showcase the wedding planners, décor, etc. instead of drama. One of my absolute favorites was
Jung Lee of Fête Events in New York. Earlier this summer the TLC Network aired the pilot episode of
Wedded to Perfection which gave a behind the scenes look at how she designs and executes gorgeous events for her clients.
Tune in to TLC tonight at 10pm EST to catch the season premiere. A new episode will air each Friday. I can't wait to see what she does each week.

Today is our last post on Jane & Eddie's wedding. Like most couples, Jane & Eddie wanted wonderful food (and there was a ton of food), great music, beautiful décor and lots of personal details. You'll see from the photos below that their wedding had all of those elements.
While the couple and their bridal party took formal photos their guests headed into the Constellation Room for cocktail hour which included a raw seafood bar and several passed hors d'oeuvres. The amazing jazz trio that played for the ceremony also played during cocktail hour.
Guests retrieved their escort cards upon entering the room. Since over 90% of the guests traveled to Baltimore for the wedding we thought luggage tag escort cards was a great idea. They also doubled as favors. The bird detail was included on all of the stationery to incorporate the Groom's love for the Baltimore Orioles.
After cocktail hour guests headed to their tables to be seated for introductions. The couple and their wedding party entered the ballroom to the Black Eyed Peas "I Got A Feeling".
After dinner the couple had their first dance to "Nearness of You" by Norah Jones. The night skyline was a beautiful backdrop.
The couple's wedding cake, created by their caterer, was both beautiful and delicious. Their cake was served with Hagan Daaz ice cream, heart shaped cookie, a truffle and fruit.
Jane and Eddie decided to forego the traditional bouquet and garter toss. They chose to do the Anniversary Dance instead. All of the married couples danced to "Remember When" by Alan Jackson. The winners were the Groom's Grandparents who have been married over 50 years!
The DJ kept the dance floor packed ALL night. There was plenty of dancing (including break dancing), singing and even air guitar
Late in the evening the view from the ballroom was incredible

As you can tell, we had a great time planning this wedding. We'd like to thank Jane and Eddie for allowing us to be a part of their special day. We'd also like to thank the dream team of vendors who made our job so easy.

Originally Jane and Eddie were to hold their ceremony outside in the Arcade area of the World Trade Center however the weather did not cooperate. It rained all morning and early afternoon on their wedding day. Whenever our clients are having an outdoor ceremony we always create a rain plan. "Plan B" for Jane and Eddie was to have their ceremony in the Maryland Room on the 21st floor. This meant their guests would not have the water view they originally wanted. Instead their view was of the Inner Harbor skyline. Still not a bad trade off.
The couple chose a jazz trio to play the music for their ceremony. The wedding party entered to "When I Fall In Love". The Bride and her Father walked down the aisle to "A Wonderful World"

After the ceremony the couple and their wedding party hit the Inner Harbor area to take their photos. Although it rained during their ceremony, you'll see from the photos below that the rain cleared just in time for them to take their formal photos without getting wet.
