Tyler and Alicia at the Old Sugar Mill

LOVE THEM! What a FANTABULOUS wedding! We did Tyler and Alicia’s wedding October 17 at the rustic Carvalho’s Family Winery at the Old Sugar Mill. We just are infatuated with this venue. It has so much history and uniqueness about it. The pictures are ALWAYS fun, edgy, funky and beautiful. Jodi with Jodi Yorston Photography did a gorgeous job. I had a hard time only picking a few so enjoy them all! The Old Sugar Mill has also graced the cover of many magazine’s. The current cover of Real Weddings Magazine was shot here. Check it out!

Back to Tyler and Alicia. They were sooo much fun to plan and work with. They always had a smile on their face and were always laughing, it was contagious. When planning with them they really wanted it to be fun and unique. They didn’t want the traditional wedding processionals and recessional but still wanted it elegant. One of our favorite String Quartets is the Vitamin String Quartet. They remake a lot of songs from hip hop to country. Look below for their selections.

This venue doesn’t need much decor but their centerpieces and linens were fabulous! The florist was Sandy with The Right Touch Florist. She had purple lights in some vases, lots of jewels and just a variety of deep colors. The picture in the post is of their head table but all of the centerpieces and bouquets were lovely. We really had a great team. We got to work with the wonderful Dawn and Nester with TLC Catering. They always do a great job and the food is always delicious. Both of them and their staff are so friendly and always moving. We just can’t get enough of them. We also got to work with Jodi with Jodi Yorston Photography which I mentioned earlier. We have been friends for awhile and finally got the chance to work together. Her and Scott were so fun to work with. We had a blast and the pictures are so stunning. Tyler and Alicia were working it all day with Jodi, she really can make you feel comfortable and help you capture all your memories. Tyler and Alicia are so energetic and happy, it shows in all their pictures. Here some of their flowers, loving the deep purple.

Usually we get to work with our sweetheart Erin but she is out of the office for personal reasons so until she is back we got to work with the bubbly Katy Baker with Adagio Weddings and Events. She is sooo fun and sooo full of energy. She jumps in and runs with it. She may not have planned from the beginning but she knows what’s up, thanks Katy!

October 25 we were at the Old Sugar Mill in Clarksburg with Josh and Natalie. I want to start off by saying how wonderful the Old Sugar Mill is and how much we love Donna! That venue is so unique and beautiful. It does take an experienced DJ to work there I will say that but we love it there. Now about our adorable bride and groom. I really enjoyed working with them they were so fun and unique too. They had trouble picking songs but the songs they did pick really fit them and their personalities. We also worked with Blue Frog Photography. Jill is so cute and fun to work with. She works fast and I can’t wait to see their pics. Their caterer was Griselda’s Catering, she insisted on eating which I usually don’t do but it was sooo good and there was plenty.
