Nelle + Sam met in College at Tulane University in Louisiana. There event started with a Mardi-Gras themed welcome party, with a full hour of lovely thoughts and comments about the couple. 

The following day, they celebrated their love at the gorgeous Ashford Estate in Allentown NJ. It was a wonderfully elegant event that felt both intimate and full of love and joy. What made this film and day truly special, was just how much Nelle and Sam enjoyed being with one another. They we're electric just being together. This clearly rubbed off on their entire family and friend group and I've never seen such a large group of people simply have so much fun together.

Casual weddings are most often a style used in backyard weddings, but we also see it at beach or tented weddings. For the attire, brides may want to wear a tea-length dress or jumpsuit. Grooms should stick to lighter shades, like tan, and toss the jacket.

Consider serving drinks prior to the ceremony to get your guests in a party mood!

A casual wedding is playful, fun and great for weddings with a smaller guest list. The ceremony is often outdoors or hosted in a backyard and we love the thought of using benches for the seating to really keeps the formality to a minimum. String lights are a must!

With a more informal celebration, you can really get creative with the menu and play with your décor. There's no need for china or chargers at a casual reception so have fun with the place settings, like a patterned or textured placemat. As for food, comfort food is a no-brainer. Try an elevated version like mini chicken and waffles or shooters of tomato soup with tiny grilled cheese bites on the side. We encourage you to consider family-style dining as opposed to a formal plated dinner.
