A Classic, Sophisticated Wedding at Down Town Club in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Though the love story of Amanda McCafferty (28 and a stay-at-home mom) and AJ Gilbert (27 and a financial adviser) began in Statesboro, Georiga, the two continued their history in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The couple met at Georgia Southern University, which Amanda's brother and AJ both attended. They maintained a long-distance relationship while Amanda continued to live in Pennsylvania. Their ceremony was held at Amanda's childhood church, S.S. Peter and Paul Roman Catholic Church in West Chester, Pennsylvania, and their reception was at the Down Town Club in Philadelphia. "For years before our wedding, I knew that when I got married I wanted a Cescaphe wedding," Amanda  says. They outfitted the space with mostly white decor with crystallized decorations and mirrored tables. Chic black details like the bridesmaid dresses, groomsmen ties and blackberries in the signature cocktail added elegance to the timeless affair. To balance the darker tones, soft blush floral arrangements and silver tablecloths and napkins were used. —Allie Volpe
