Buona Sera Palazzo Wedding
Ocean, NJ
NJ Fall Wedding
the bride…
Who doesn’t love a fall wedding with its bouquets filled with orange and maroon flowers and berries mixed with the most wonderful light and fall leave color. Well Ken and Katherine got married on the most beautiful NJ fall day in October. Katherine and her matron of honor, her mom, so cute right, got ready at the Double Tree in Eatontown, NJ. Her make up and hair were perfectly done by Vanity Hair and Makeup and her wedding bouquet so stunning with all the fall colors made by Botoniq Blooms. She did a first look with her parents in the hotel room and let’s just say there was much love involved and a tear or two shed. Katherine looked simply amazing in her Sottero and Midgley dress. The trolley took the girls and some family over the the wedding ceremony at Allaire State Park.
the groom…
The groom, Ken and his dad, the best man, got ready at the couples home in Howell, NJ. Ken was decked out in an awesome Jos. A. Banks suit with their wedding date embroidered on the inside of his jacket. He was also donning a fall boutonnière by Botoniq Blooms. Both the groom and his dad had awesome matching ties that fit the fall theme. The arrived to Allaire State Park, also in a trolley, ahead of the girls where they did some portraits and prep before the ceremony.
the ceremony…
The ceremony took place at the Chapel at Allaire State Park at around 4:30pm on October 20. Ken’s niece and nephew brought the rings and sprinkled the aisle with red rose petals and Katherine was accompanied by her dad down the isle. Ken and Katherine saw each other for the first time that day as she walked down the isle. The emotion was high. It was a beautiful ceremony where there where many tears of joy! The chapel was so beautifully decorated with fall colors, tulle and flowers. After the ceremony they greeted their guests with lots of hugs and smiles.
the reception…
The couple took many family photos and portraits inside and out of the church and then headed to celebrate their marriage with their friends at the Buona Sera Palazzo in Ocean, NJ. The crowd was super excited as DJ Vic introduced our couple for their grand entrance. The ballroom was beautifully decorated with lots a fall colors, flowers, and pumpkins. There were so many nice touches and little signs that the couple incorporated into their decor. The dances and speeches were filled with lots of laughter, hugs and love and the thing I remember most about their night was the amount of love in the room.
Their cake by Normandie Bakery had a bow as a topper and was 3 layers with the middle having rainbow sprinkles! I love rainbow sprinkles. After cake cutting we snuck the couple out for a few night shots and then said goodnight. All in all it was a beautiful day filled with lots of love. We wish you two the best! Congrats Ken and Katherine!
