Susan and Bill were married at Whitehall Manor on a beautiful day in September. Each detail of the day had been carefully chosen, so the flowers and linens were each the perfect shade to tie together their fall wedding in Loudoun, Virginia. The tables had tall arrangements of white hydrangea, roses, lilies and grapes, with bear grass swirled inside the vase.

Lindsay & Craig

diamondevents — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 12:45:18 +0000

All Virginia Tech fans can appreciate the Hokie themed wedding that Lindsay and Craig chose for their 09.10.11 wedding. The ceremony was held at noon, to follow the sequential order of the date. As guests made their way to the 3rd floor of Lane Stadium they first signed a spirit towel and then ceramic platter for the couples “guestbook”. Both the ceremony and reception took place in the South End Zone Stadium Club level room, so guests were able to immediately take their seat at a table and watch the ceremony take place in the center of the room. Afterwards the couple went around campus taking pictures while guests enjoyed delicious appetizers. The tables were set with a maroon satin overlay, orange napkins and centerpieces in maroon and orange made of roses, dahlias, gerbera daisies and berries. The Hokie wedding cake even had bride and groom Hokie Birds on top and Hokie Bird foot prints winding its way to the top. The event would not have been complete without the appearance of the Hokie Bird, who helped the couple cut their cake and the guests were very excited to get their picture taken with him! Congratulations Lindsay and Craig!

Samantha & Brad

The striking monogram behind Samantha and Brad’s wedding cake, took your breath away when walking into the Hotel Roanoke ballroom. The tables had alternating colorful arrangements with orange, red and yellow flowers. The tall centerpieces were full round arrangements of white hydrangeas with gerbera daisies and roses providing pops of color. The finishing touch was the white curtain walls and uplighting that went around the edge of the room, creating a romantic glow. Congratulations Samantha & Brad, what a fun wedding!

Casey & Brad

When working with a client for 16 months, it can be bitter sweet to see their wedding day come and go. We were there for the entire experience in finding the perfect venue (always the most difficult task), finalizing colors, choosing vendors and working out the logistics of the day. At one point we sat back and looked around during the reception to reflect on the entire experience and how lovely the entire wedding unfolded. We couldn’t have wished for a more perfect day, for a perfect couple! Congratulations Casey and Brad, you were such a joy to work with!

Jessica & Aaron

diamondevents — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 18:47:53 +0000

Jessica and Aaron chose the Netherlands Carillon Bell Tower near the Iwo Jima memorial in Arlington, Virginia for their ceremony, making Washington D.C. the backdrop. The weather was overcast and misty all day, but held off long enough to get have their ideal ceremony outside. The aisle was scattered with white rose petals and hanging from the edges of every other chair, were yellow paper lanterns hung on chartreuse green ribbon. Jessica’s bouquet was made with green and white hydrangeas, roses and ranunculus. The Maid-of-Honor carried a bouquet of white hydrangea and yellow ranunculus accents while the two other bridesmaids bouquets were all white hydrangea. The reception was held at the Hyatt Regency in Crystal City. The centerpieces were hydrangeas and curly willow branches coming out of a tall cylindrical vases surrounded by pillar candles. The vase was placed on top of a bed of moss with burlap runners. Congratulations Jessica & Aaron, you had such a beautiful wedding!

Betsy & Jeff

diamondevents — Tue, 06 Sep 2011 13:57:19 +0000

Betsy and Jeff had a beautiful ceremony at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Blacksburg, Virginia. The bridesmaids wore royal blue dresses and the Betsy’s dress was made by her mother and looked absolutely amazing! The reception was held at the Virginia Tech German Club Manor. Over 200 guests were entertained by a bluegrass band on the side patio for cocktail hour as they arrived. Afterwards they moved into the ballroom for dinner. The tables were set with a blue floor length linen, a white embroidered overlay, blue satin napkins, silver chargers and white chair covers with white organza sashes. After dinner the guests moved into the foyer for dancing where blue and white paper lanterns were hung from the beams. The couple had a terrible time trying to leave, their car was covered in saran wrap, shaving cream and toilet paper, the worst we have ever seen in 2011 by far!

Unique Guestbook Ideas

The guestbook table display can be a unique setup that showcases a glimpse of the style of the reception, as well as, the personalities of the bride and groom. With so many guestbook options, today’s bride and groom can choose from a wide variety of styles and most importantly, choosing a guestbook that they can see themselves looking at or using for years to come.

Guestbook Platter
Using a permanent black pen that is designed to write on porcelain finishes, guests can sign their names and thoughts. Afterwards you can display it on your wall.

Testimonial Guestbook
Each guest at your event will receive their very own guestbook page to fill out and share special messages at their leisure. After your event, simply place the completed pages in one of our many guestbook album designs and enjoy!

Signature Frame
Wedding guests sign the outside edge and then you get to choose your favorite picture from the wedding to place inside. Be careful to not have the picture you intend on using in the matte, someones hand could slip and leave a mark on the picture.
