Caelin and Colin’s Joyful Garden Celebration

James and I met Caelin and Colin at a Great Bridal Expo in Baltimore, MD. They were a dream couple to work with because Caelin was very organized, they knew exactly what they wanted, and our favorite part was they chose small businesses as their vendors to help them! How thoughtful is that? Here is some advice and information for other couples that they wanted to share! 

How did you meet?

We met on the dating app Tinder.

Who popped the question and how?

Colin surprised me with an extra gift under our tree the day after Christmas in 2022.

What was your wedding style? (Ex: Romantic, Whimsical, Modern, Rustic, Bohemian, Elegant)

When it came to planning your wedding, what was most important to you?

Finding vendors who fit our budget, who we worked well with, and who understood my vision.

What was the best part of your wedding day?

Marrying my best friend and getting to see all of our favorite people in the same place at the same time.

If you could provide a tip to another couple planning their wedding, what would it be?

YOU NEED A DAY OF COORDINATOR! You will not be able to enjoy your day without one! Even if you think you can do it yourself, you can’t. Sacrifice the champagne toast, downgrade your bar option, cut your guest list. Whatever you need to do to fit it into your budget.

Where did you say YES to the dress, and what designer did you wear?

My dress designer was Justin Alexander. The shop I bought it from closed. But I used “Sew Perfect Bridal” for alterations and Sandy was AMAZING to work with.

Where were the bridesmaids’ dresses purchased from?

Azazie

Groom/groomsmen attire – where were they purchased/rented from?

Joseph A Banks. The Annapolis and Columbia stores were terrible, but Towson and Hunt Valley were great to work with.

Where did you order your favors, party gifts, etc. from?

Amazon

When it came to your venue selection, why did you choose to get married there?

We knew we wanted to get married on the water near Annapolis and as soon as we saw Historic London Town and Gardens, we knew it was our venue.

What made you choose our company?

We met James and Veronica at a bridal show in Baltimore. They were so friendly and welcoming we just hit it off right away! They were so responsive and attentive to us throughout the whole process. We cannot thank them enough for everything they did for us on our big day!
