Denise & Neal – February 17, 2017

When it comes to weddings, many people would agree that the winter months are not the most desirable in the Hudson Valley. Indeed spring, summer, and fall weddings are lovely, but we think there’s something absolutely charming about saying your “I do's” with a gorgeous wintry backdrop. Winter weddings are magical and romantic, and Denise and Neal's wedding at West Hills Country Club is a perfect example of that. Denise and Neal are both avid skiers, so it only made perfect sense to have their wedding during their favorite season. At one of our first meetings, Denise showed me pictures of a winter wonderland theme she was going for, and man, did she nail it. On their wedding day, our Indoor Ballroom completely transformed into an enchanted, glowing, wintry atmosphere. The room looked amazing with [...]

Finding “The One”

"If you lived to be one hundred, I want to live one hundred minus one day, so I would never have to live a day without you." Everyone longs and dreams to find “the one.” It starts young, in the story books and then into our adulthood with the oh so emotional romance movies on Lifetime. There is no denying that we all long for that kind of love. The kind that makes you say, “Is this really happening?” I for one am very guilty of that. I dream of my love story being like a country music video. As silly as that sounds, I think that hopes and dreams like that help shape what and who we are ultimately looking for.

Fast Wedding Day Dress Fixes

Expect the unexpected... a phrase commonly used in the event industry. You may plan everything for your wedding day down to a tee, but unexpected incidents tend to always arise. For example- stains on the wedding dress or a broken bustle. Before you find yourself sprinting to a nearby sink to rinse out that giant mascara mark that was drawn onto your dress, beware. Removing stains from a wedding gown can be a pretty tricky business, and water is not always the best solution. The Knot summarized some handy tips and tricks for common wardrobe malfunctions. A little preparation -- and a smartly packed emergency kit -- can make a world of difference. Read below!

Friday and Sunday Weddings

You and your fiancee have finally found the perfect venue that has everything you have ever envisioned for your big day, congrats! Except there is one problem... all of their Saturdays are booked. This is an issue many couples find themselves facing, not realizing that weddings typically book two years in advance. (especially those prime dates!) Then this leads you to the next question, what is more important- your dream wedding venue or your dream date? Having a wedding on a Friday or Sunday has become the popular alternative and opens the door to different options at your venue. Are a majority of your guests traveling from out of town? A Sunday wedding gives them plenty of time to travel to your wedding location and unwind. This often gives your guests an excuse for a mini vacation... [...]

Groom’s Cake or No Groom’s Cake?

Long ago, in addition to the main wedding cake there was an entire separate cake that was served as a favor to the guests to take home. According to a long forgotten social custom, the single women would take a slice of the cake home and place it under their pillow when they went to sleep that night. This was supposed to bring them sweet dreams of their future hubby... hence the name grooms cake. Today, the groom's cake has made a come back and we are seeing it at many weddings but for very different reasons. It is typically a bride's gift to the groom that reflects his personality or interests. Of course the wedding cake has some opportunity to incorporate the couples style and taste, but the grooms cake has the freedom to be more informal and sometimes even [...]
