A Traditional Yellow Wedding at the Ryland Inn in Whitehouse Station, New Jersey
This wedding just gave fall a new look. Mary Cirella (27 and a teacher) and Andrew Heilmann’s (27 and in real estate) traditional celebration mixed warm yellow and subtle blue hues for a fun twist on the classic color scheme. “I wanted to keep the colors seasonal, but not do the October oranges,” Mary says. The couple started their day with a sweet church ceremony. The aisle was lined in baby’s breath as the bridesmaids made their procession with a welcome hint of color. Each woman wore a light blue, chiffon gown by Jim Hjelm with a fun one-shoulder strap. Warren Country Florist matched their dresses with bouquets of white delphiniums and fun yellow stock to include the couple’s wedding color. Mary’s wedding-day look was simple and sweet. She entered the church in a sweet ivory lace gown by Augusta Jones with a scalloped neckline. After the couple exchanged vows, they continued the celebration with a classic reception at an interesting location—a train station that was recently renovated into a ballroom. (The couple had booked it before the venue was even completed.) When the couple arrived, vintage chandeliers gave the room a soft glow as amber uplighting filled the space. Flameless candles on wooden bases were surrounded by pairs of yellow rose and white hydrangea centerpieces on each table. After dinner, everyone headed onto the dance floor. “We simply wanted to have fun with the people we love. Essential for that was the La Blanc Brothers band, the O Shoot photo booths and the outdoor fire pit s'more station,” Mary says. “In order to keep celebrations going following the reception, we encouraged people to join us at the hotel bar for a final hoorah.”
