Maryland New Years Eve Wedding by Brooke Tyson Photography

12.29.15 by Teri Pozniak

Complete with a balloon drop, this Maryland New Years Eve wedding from Brooke Tyson Photography was quite the celebration! Brooke shares more…“Alyssa and Zach met right in Columbia, MD at Pub Dog, and on their anniversary, Zach proposed to Alyssa in that very same spot. Alyssa graduated from the University of Maryland College Park, so these two chose to celebrate their wedding on the College Park campus at the College Park Marriott. On New Year’s Eve, Alyssa and Zach pledged their commitment to one another in front of nearly 200 family and friends, and then celebrated late into the night. In the minute before midnight, the band, Hero Entertainment, counted down, and at midnight, balloons dropped from the ceiling in celebration of the new year. Alyssa and Zach’s wedding was a beautiful celebration of their marriage and a great New Year’s Eve party!”

New Years Eve Wedding by Ashley Michelle Photography

12.28.15 by Teri Pozniak

Fireworks light up this insanely gorgeous black-tie New Years Eve wedding from Ashley Michelle Photography! Ashley says “After a sweet ceremony at the Baltimore Basilica, guests headed to the Frederick Douglass Museum where the reception was held under a large clear tent. During the fireworks, you could look straight up into the sky–amazing! I can not even begin to describe how awesome their band, Party on the Moon, was. And they should be considering that they have played the last two NYE’s at Donald Trump’s party, Eli Manning’s wedding, and at Obama’s inauguration. Between the dancing, the fireworks, the New Year’s Eve party favors, the food by Rouge Catering, and the New Orleans touches, I think this will be one wedding that guests will never forget. And of course, the one and only Beth from Elizabeth Bailey Weddings was the one working behind the scenes to make this wedding fabulous!”

Tea Barn at Fair Hill Wedding by Kristi McKeag Photography

12.24.15 by Katie Welsh

Who doesn’t love a elegant winter wedding with so much DIY from the bride! This Tea Barn at Fair Hill Wedding by Kristi McKeag Photography is a must see this Christmas Eve! Kristi tells us, “Rob and Courtney’s special day was one that was filled with so much love from their family and friends and one that had me in tears with so many special moments! From the sentimental brooch from the bride’s grandmother to the emotional ceremony with the groom wiping away his bride’s tears, to the father/daughter dance that left not a dry in the room. The details in the reception had me in awe the entire night as I could not believe that the bride and her family had done almost everything themselves! From the thought of having a dog cake made to look like their dog, to all the florals they created and centerpieces they made and of course, the unique guestbook idea of having their guests sign their skis, was so much fun! It was true perfection and looked like they had hired someone! Rob and Courtney’s wedding day was truly beautiful and perfect for their winter wedding!”

Antrim 1844 Holiday Wedding by Jennifer Smutek Photography

12.23.15 by Katie Welsh

What a perfect way to get into the holiday spirit than to share this gorgeous holiday themed Antrim 1844 Holiday Wedding by Jennifer Smutek Photography! Swooning over the perfect winter decor with red accents and the groom serenading his bride! Jennifer tells us,“Lexi & Mike met at their favorite band’s concert. Lexi said that their taste in music was actually their first attraction to each other, and without that, they never would’ve met! After a few years of dating, and enjoying music, theme parks, comic conventions, concerts and antiquing together, Mike proposed to Lexi on their date-a-versary during a trip to New York. Mike & Lexi knew they wanted a Christmas inspired wedding and quickly fell in love with the historic Antrim 1844 in Taneytown, Maryland. The mansion is filled with the Christmas spirit in December and the decor was stunning! They had a small bridal party of close family and friends, and Lexi even had her brother stand in as “man of honor”. Their day included several DIY elements, including handmade invitations & escort cards and a custom made JAWS and Little Mermaid inspired cake topper. (these two are HUGE JAWS fans)! Having fallen in love over music, Mike surprised his bride and sang to Lexi during their wedding reception. The night ended with a sparkler send off.”
