Josh and Alexandra's Wedding at Minerals Hotel

Being a part of Josh and Alexandra's wedding last year was an absolute dream come true! They came to me with an incredibly detailed wedding plan already in place, and they knew exactly what their stationery should look like to perfectly match the vibe.

Josh and Alexandra planned an incredible laid-back woodsy wedding at the Minerals Hotel, part of Crystal Springs Resort in Vernon, New Jersey. Their day was filled with pastel hues, hydrangeas, and greenery in an absolutely beautiful location. Unfortunately, as a stationery vendor, my job ends before the wedding day, but Josh was kind enough to send me details and photos of how their day turned out!

​Their wedding was a weekend getaway for their friends and family, without having to go far from home. They hosted their guests from Friday evening to Sunday and really gave the event the feel of a destination wedding. On the day of their wedding, they had an outdoor ceremony in the garden of the Minerals Hotel before they headed over to the stunning Sweetgrass Pavilion. Josh noted that the open-air pavilion was a crucial part of the wedding - allowing even the reception to feel like it was part of nature while still being protected from the elements. And of course, they brought the greenery inside as well! "The most unique part of our wedding was having a 6 foot in diameter flower chandelier directly over the dance floor. This was the centerpiece of the wedding."

ABOUT THE COUPLE

Tell me the proposal story!:

I had been planning our annual trip and that year we were headed to Peru. Once the outline of the itinerary was completed, i had the idea of finding a time on the trip to pop the question. After doing some thinking and speaking with out travel planner, i decided i would do it while at Machu Picchu. To be flexible, i spoke with our guide ahead of time and we decided there is not set place but he would give me the nod when he noticed an opening as there can be a lot of people there. Luckily for me, it was almost the first thing that happened and it was magical!

What do you love the most about your significant other:

I love that we tend to be different and have different views on many subjects. This makes us grow and think together. It forces us to communicate and listen.

What was your favorite part of wedding planning?

My favorite part of wedding planning was after booking each vendor, you started to see a vision of what is coming. The build up was great.

What would you change about the wedding or wedding planning if you were able to?
​
I was not unhappy about a thing but if i had to improve on something, i would have tried to catch my breath at times. It goes so fast and if you don't stop for a second and look around, you miss a lot.

​Custom Wedding Stationery

Josh and Alexandra came to me with a specific but totally unique wedding invitation request - a long, skinny horizontal invitation with a tear-off RSVP card. My favorite detail? The Volkswagen Bus illustration they requested! It was inspired by the VW bus photo booth that they hired for their wedding, and it's definitely an addition I'll never forget.

I had so much fun designing their stationery with these two, and I'm so glad I get to share their amazing wedding day with you all! Josh and Alexandra - thank you so much for choosing me to be part of your big day, and I wish you both the best!
