If I've said it once I've said it a hundred times, I LOVE when a bride reader tells me how much they used Oh Lovely Day in their wedding planning. And this bride definitely took our mantra, "make your wedding YOU" to heart when she planned this colorful and quirky beauty. It's so full of personality.
Advice for couples planning now? Know your vision and stick to it. That doesn't mean be unwavering in your opinions, but make sure that every choice you make ultimately makes you & your groom happy. We knew we had to stick to a few ground rules: budget, geography and guest count – but after that we made sure each piece of the puzzle was exactly what we wanted.
Ryan and I are big foodies, and proud Philadelphians. So when we found out (a few years before we were engaged…) that it was possible to have a wedding in one of Philly's biggest food landmarks, Reading Terminal Market, we knew that's just what we'd do – despite the extra effort it would take working with a non-traditional wedding venue. After that, we picked bright fun colors and worked with amazing friends & vendors who understood our vision to help bring the day we dreamed of to life.
There was definitely something amazing about having the Mummers play and lead the entire wedding from the ceremony, across the busiest street in Center City, to our reception – now that's a way to stop traffic!
How did you make your wedding YOU? We made sure that it was a delicious, unique, philly-focused, FUN experience for us and our guests. And it definitely was.
Looks like a fun wedding, doesn't it? You can watch a bit of the fun for yourself, and be sure to check out the gallery below for lots more!
I love all the bright colors in the florals and range of bridesmaid dresses – and that the Mummers got in on the event! Fun wedding!
This was truly one of my favorite weddings to work on ever! Shira was indeed a bride with an awesome and unique vision. AND she was super organized and thoughtful!!! A dream come true! So wonderful to see the wedding featured here on Oh Lovely Day!
Thanks for posting – it was truly an amazing wedding and we're so glad we could show it off to help inspire others!
