“Like many modern romances, this love story began with an online dating app called ‘Hinge.’ This particular app is a bit different from the rest, as it pairs users up with potential matches via mutual Facebook friends. You go into the date having a mutual friend (to hold accountable if he/she turns out to be a creep.)  Back in November of 2013, Lori was hesitant to join any dating sites, but reluctantly chose Hinge after much persuasion by her friend, Hayley. Lori joined with intentions to go on a few dates and meet some new people, but she never in a million years thought it would lead her to ‘the one.’ A few weeks in, Lori was connected with Tom. Lori trusted the mutual friend that allowed them to be paired up, as they had a mutual best friend, Vicki and were both in her upcoming wedding. Lori browsed through Tom’s profile and after a few pictures; she decided he was definitely worth giving a shot. It turns out Tom felt the same way, because she immediately received a message stating he thought she was a match for him, too. After a few online conversations, they met for their first date at a downtown DC wine bar, Proof.  The morning of the date, Lori was extremely nervous and feeling under the weather. She was about to cancel the date and called her mom to ask her advice. Lori’s mom Amy said; “if you cancel this date, don’t bother calling me tomorrow!”…I guess mom really does know best! Sweating bullets and more nervous than she’d ever been, she arrived at Proof just before Tom. As he walked in, she breathed a sigh of relief, while thinking, he was even better looking in person.  The conversation was never at a lull, and they quickly discovered how much they had in common. Tom grew up a town away from where Lori was born in Bergen County, New Jersey. Both Tom and Lori’s dad Marc are in the same industry, and this too, was the first date Tom had ever been on via Hinge. After that night, they both ditched the app, spent most every day together and began the journey that leads them to the Salamander Resort on September 4, 2016.  The past three years, Lori and Tom’s relationship has blossomed into a beautiful love story, highlighted by a romantic proposal in Italy the summer of 2015. They look forward to sharing their life together, and more specifically sharing their wedding weekend with the ones they love most.”  Our wedding was truly the best night of our life thanks to our family, friend, and incredible wedding planner Laura Ritchie (Grit & Grace).

Catholic weddings are all about one tradition or another and feature a complex rite of steps leading up to the ceremony. Anything religion-based can be complicated to someone who isn’t familiar with that particular religion. However, to a practicing Catholic, what may seem complex to some is a rite of passage to them, and the perfect way to begin their lives as a married couple.

Need vendors for your catholic wedding? These pros specialize in this style.

When you are raised, or even become a Catholic later on in life, you already know that it is steeped in tradition, complete with rites that help reinforce the believer’s faith. Everything at Mass follows very particular steps, always in a certain order and carried out in a meticulous, memorable way.

Catholic weddings are some of the most beautifully performed ceremonies that you’ll ever find. And if you’re so inclined to hold the ceremony at your favorite church or cathedral, then chances are that the environment will perfectly match the sentiment.

A Jewish wedding is a ceremony that is held for a Jewish couple who wish to begin their lives together based on this faith. There will be traditional expectations for both the couple and the attendees, as they celebrate their union.

Many Jewish couples hold their ceremonies in a synagogue, typically where they attend on a regular basis. This may also lend options for reception space as well.

Just as with any other wedding based on religion, as a Jewish couple, you will be looking forward to sharing not only your union as a couple, but also your faith and beliefs. With a Jewish wedding, this will easily go hand-in-hand.

While many couples still opt to add their own special touches, most Jewish weddings follow a format that includes steps for each portion of the wedding.

There are so many venue options when it comes to modern weddings. Lofts and rooftops are popular choices for this wedding style, but we like the idea of mixing it up a little by exchanging your vows at a museum, distillery or even a nightclub.

Bold signage is everything at a modern wedding—the larger, the better!

The modern wedding style is typically very clean and sleek with a minimal color palette and some metallic details. Wedding attire is sophisticated and chic and the florals are often monochromatic or greenery-heavy. Think bold lines or geometric designs when it comes to the overall décor details 

A modern wedding style is refined and simple, but daring. It's typically a formal vibe and we see a lot of white and black with modern weddings, but also bold colors like teal, eggplant and fuschia. The décor often features florals like calla lilies or dahlias, as well as ghost chairs, Edison bulbs, neon signs and greenery walls. The fashion is a big component of modern weddings—we love a fearless colored suit or backless sheath gown.

A summer wedding typically has at least one element of the day that's outside. Make sure you have shaded options that allow guests to avoid the sun. We love the idea of handing out parasols, fans or sunglasses as wedding favors so guests can use them during the day.

Think fresh, light and airy when it comes to food and drinks and even colors.

Summer weddings are those held in the months of June, July and August. This is considered "wedding season" and is one of the most popular times to get married. Some wedding styles we often see in summer include boho, rustic, casual, nautical and tropical weddings.

Because summer is widely considered "wedding season," you'll see higher prices on venues and vendors between Memorial Day and Labor Day so keep that in mind when figuring out your budget. There's good reason so many couples choose to get married in the summer. Inclement weather is not nearly as much of a concern, outdoor ceremonies are much easier to plan and, of course, there's an endless variety of bright blooms to include in your day!
