Classic details like the black and white color palette, all white blooms, and a timeless wedding dress made us fall in love with this Philadelphia wedding. This modern affair was set at Cescaphe Event Group’s Vie, an elegant venue inspired by French Provencal. Stacey and Seth united as one on this special occasion, and we can’t help but think that these two were definitely made for one another. Ashley Gerrity photographed every element of this couple’s special day that shows every the undeniable love that we see with the bride and groom, and their loved ones. The bride loves to plan and organize so to no surprise every aspect of this wedding was perfectly planned down to every detail!
How They Met:
“We met at Drexel University as freshman. We lived in the same dorm. We became friends when we started doing our chemistry homework together. Our friendship then grew into a ten year relationship leading us to our wedding day on October 29, 2016.”
The Proposal:
“Seth proposed intimately, at home. Seth decorated the house with pictures, candles, and roses, so that Stacey was surprised when she returned home from work on Friday afternoon May 1, 2015. Seth later surprised Stacey further with dinner followed by a party with 60 people at a favorite bar in Center City, Philadelphia.”
Wedding Planning Experience:
“Wedding planning was time consuming, but fun! There are so many aspects of wedding planning that it is easy to get overwhelmed. It worked well to stay organized and to have close family and friends help with certain plans. Working together made the process a more enjoyable experience.”
Wedding Inspiration:
“The inspiration behind our wedding was modern elegance with a hint of glamour. We wanted to keep our wedding very classic, but original with crystal accents and personal touches in the details including the cake and ice sculpture.”
Best Wedding Memory:
“We loved the entire day! If we had to pick a few of the best moments it would be seeing each other at our first look, exchanging vows at the ceremony, and being introduced as husband and wife for the first time at the reception. Seeing all of our friends and family together in one room was incredible!”
Wedding Planning Advice:
“Take a step back a few times throughout the night to take everything in. Look around at the room and at all of your family and friends who were able to be there to celebrate. It is a wonderful feeling!”
Wedding Vendor Experience:
“We had a very positive experience with all of our vendors. It was important to stay organized, however all of our vendors were extremely responsive and easy to work with. One of the best part of working with our vendors were their ability to blend our vision with their expertise to make our day special and run smoothly.”
