Malone Wedding - October 30, 2010



Mr. and Mrs. Malone were married on October 30, 2010 with their ceremony at the amazing Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception and their reception at 11 North Pearl. The girls and guys each got ready at The Crown Plaza and for ease of transportation decided to keep all of their wedding activities around the downtown Albany area. The couple lives in NYC so they planned this wedding long distance, and they brought me on to coordinate their rehearsal and all of the events on their wedding day. Leah and Tom are so great, and they had the best bridal party and family lending support and love throughout their day. As for the style of the event, the couple chose to stay away from the traditional fall colors and not to even touch any references to Halloween or harvest themes. Instead they chose a sophisticated deep purple and ivory palette to grace their wedding accents. Leah incorporated a lot of neat little touches to her day, including the dress hangers with each of the bridesmaids names on them, the streamers for guests to wave as they entered their reception, and the most adorable little "Here Come the Bride" banner that the two ring bearers carried as they walked down the aisle ahead of her. But even with all of those I think my favorite of her personal touches was the signature board that allowed guests to put thumb print stamps along an outline of a tree - it was both super personal and appropriately seasonal, but also very stinkin' cute when it was all done. Loved it!

As with all of my weddings I was joined with a wonderful set of vendors who did a terrific job for this bride and groom. The photography team of Erin Coker and Jason Hupe of Gallery 9 North rocked out yet another wedding with me. Another great set of pics guys - you make my blog posts look very good! Also with me that day was All Seasons Trio who provided the string musicians for the ceremony, the band Body and Soul who rocked out the reception, my right hand woman Brandi Miller from 11 North Pearl, the floral stylings of Renaissance Floral Design, and Coccadotts Bakery who never disappoints with their amazing wedding cakes.

This was such a great wedding and such a classy and easy couple to work with. Thank you again Leah and Tom for letting me be a part of your most special day!
