Real Weddings: Kathy & David












Veronica and I had the pleasure of coordinating the month of details for one of the sweetest couples ever; Kathy & David. I first met with the MOB to go over the logistics of Kathy & David’s big day, as the couple lived out of state. After spending some time with the MOB and hashing out the details, I knew it was a match made in wedding planning heaven. A few months closer to Kathy & David’s wedding, I got the pleasure of meeting Kathy, who was just as sweet as her dear mother. Kathy & David’s ceremony took place at the chapel of my alma mater, GMU. Their wedding day was flawless in every sense of the word. Their team of vendors were a pleasure to work with, and the guests had a great time. It is always a pleasure to see the bride, groom, family and friends having the time of their lives.
Making it their own: Kathy & David chose to have individual cakes as their centerpieces. This was a great hit among guests. The guests enjoyed taking home something sweet at the end of the night.

Another unique idea the bride and groom had were Mad Lib cards. The guests filled out Mad Lib cards during cocktail hour. Kathy & David now have a guest book filled with hilarious cards from their family and friends.

Real Weddings: Nicole + Nic

A few months ago I was contacted by a co-worker of one of my friend’s regarding a destination wedding. The bride (Nicole) called Exceeding Expectations and inquired about our Partial Planning package for her destination wedding in San Diego, CA. Nicole had booked a few of her vendors, but was still in need of a photographer, hotel room block, florist, Officiant, design assistance, and stationary assembly. After meeting Nicole, we were very excited and anxious to start working. Throughout the five month planning period, we researched and booked her remaining vendors. Exceeding Expectations also designed and handmade Nicole and Nic’s pocketfold invites and menu cards for their twelve guests. Veronica and I arrived in San Diego two days prior to Nicole & Nic’s big day. We ran errands for the couple and finalized the wedding details. Below are a few pictures we took with our camera. Working with Nicole and Nic was an absolute dream.

Nicole wanted a white, blue and green dinner table. We used a white tablecloth and green napkins to add a "pop" of color for a clean crisp look.

Exceeding Expectations designed and handmade the personalized menu cards for each guest.
