Each year, we pour through tens of thousands of photos from our brides & moms who share their photography with us.  In the past few years, we started sharing our favorites, calling them the “Wedding of the Month”…. well the images got better and better.  So, a few years ago, we named our first “Wedding of the Year” and this year we have a BEAUTIFUL wedding in all shades of Pink.   Traditionally, we view the photos that are sent —-  as we try to decide who will be named our Grande Wedding of the Year!  Positively the most fun we have and certainly the most rewarding to see the fruits of our labor in your photos!  Again, this year was no exception for beautiful.

SO without further adieu  – our three favorites! (See below for Runner Up and our Honorable Mention Weddings.)

The bride chose style 402 from our Couture Collection in soft baby pink handwoven  silk dupione for the body of the dress,  with 10 individual layers of tulle (in 4 colors) and a bisque colored sash.  Additionally, we added two large bouquets of silk roses and tousled up the bustle in back as only Pegeen can.  The flower girl   can wear complimentary styles to the wedding party which makes her  feel like she is a special part of your day.  At Pegeen, we are not fond of them wearing white or ivory to match the bride because we think only the bride should shine.  Therefore, Pegeen offers over 200 in-stock colors with access to 500 more!

The Wedding Planner of the Grande Wedding of the Year is….. David Tutera

Hiring a highly qualified wedding planner is the best way to ensure your wedding wishes come true.  The right wedding planner can eliminate the guess work, provide almost stress-free planning and unlimited creativity.  Truly, one of the best event and wedding planners in the industry is David Tutera.  When you watch his show, My Fair Wedding with David Tutera on WEtv, his creativity is boundless.

Jenny and her mom, Debbie, worked with Mr. Tutera and his expertise is reflected in every detail of this wedding.  When I recently asked the bride about her aisle runner, she simply responded, “David took care of it.”  And he does.  David Tutera Weddings and events is my top choice for wedding planning (DT Studios, Inc.).

From his website (www.davidtutera.com), “David Tutera, Inc. is an award winning company built from experience, dedication, and Tutera’s natural talent for transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary.  His name has become synonymous with style, elegance, creativity and vision.”

We certainly couldn’t agree more!

I got a call from a bride’s mom who is planning a wedding in California.  They had been looking at Pegeen.com for quite some time and were ready to place their order for “the dress” which is to also be her granddaughter’s flower girl dress.

I was very excited to learn that David Tutera is their wedding planner.  I love this planners work and am so very happy that finally, he’s going to see my work too!

This is similar to the dress we will be doing for their wedding.
