Getting Ready at the Warwick Hotel

Karen and her bridesmaids began the spring wedding day at the Warwick Hotel in Rittenhouse Square, in cozy Jennie Kayne blue cardigans, laughter filling the room as they prepared for the big day. The bridal suite was a flurry of activity, with elegant neutral-colored bridesmaid dresses from Hexie hung neatly on personalized hangers. Karen’s stunning Karen Willis Holmes two-piece white bridal gown was the centerpiece, ready to make its debut. I love capturing the touching moment when the Mother of the Bride helps her daughter into the wedding dress. The weight of the day hits them both at the same moment and often brings them to tears.

Bridal Party Perfection

The bridesmaids’ dresses, from Hexie, were a vision of elegance, featuring a soft blush pink hue that complemented the springtime setting. Their dresses, designed with clean lines and a graceful silhouette, perfectly matched the romantic ambiance of the day. Each bridesmaid held a bouquet of white and blush pink blooms, adding a cohesive and charming touch to their look. The flower girls, in adorable Needle and Thread tulle dresses, added a whimsical touch to the bridal party.

St. Patrick’s Church Ceremony

The historic St. Patrick’s Church, with its grand architecture and serene ambiance, was the perfect setting for Karen and Richard to exchange their vows. As guests entered St. Patrick’s Church, they were greeted by the majestic beauty of the venue. The altar was adorned with lush white flowers from Beautiful Blooms, creating a serene and sacred space for Karen and Richard’s vows. The program, elegantly designed, guided guests through the ceremony.
