A Renewal of Vows in Central New Jersey

This past Saturday we had the pleasure working on a vow renewal for a beautiful couple that were celebrating 32 years together. It was a very intimate affair where they were surrounded by their closest family and friends, including their four children and four grandchildren. The color scheme was Lime Green and Black with our favorite accent: Damask! It was beautiful and elegant and we were honored to be apart of it.

Thank you to all of the vendors that helped make this event even more special!

Ceremony: St Andrews Church in Avenel, NJ

Reception: Family Residence

Stationery: AART Designs

Caterer: Mario's Tutto Bene in Union, NJ

Linens: Hallak Cleaners in Hackensack, NJ

Florals: Floral Expressions in Hasbrouck Heights, NJ
