Justine’s Bat Mitzvah
The Rockleigh Country Club, Rockleigh, New Jersey

Every time a snow storm happens on a weekend, well you can bet it just dumped a lot of snow on somebody’s wedding day or other special event.  In this case, that late February blizzard had its eye on Justine’s Bat Mitzvah weekend.

Even with over a foot and a half of snow, the mood was bright and sunny!  This family came to party!

Entrance to The Rockleigh, clad in white.

The theme, “Justine <3 NY!” and in pink no less.  Loved the whimsical NYC taxi escort cards.

And of course the stunning Bat Mitzvah girl!

We couldn’t get enough of Justine or her awesome pink dress!

We spotted these balloons early on in the corner of the reception room.  The florist kept saying, “they aren’t set up yet!”  But we just couldn’t resist such a colorful backdrop.

So pink!  So fun!

Personalized bracelets acted as custom napkin rings.  I still wear mine!

Each centerpiece had a different New York City theme - fashion, sports, iconic food, important landmarks - all represented!

Love the ballroom uplighting - even the chandeliers were pink - hot!

And of course the invitation.

Justine certainly knows how to make an entrance…

and her parent’s certainly know how to throw a party!

Candle Lighting.

The blog would not be complete without the dual white and milk chocolate fountains.  Mmm.

One of many family portraits throughout the night.

One of our favs!  Group hug for Justine!  She deserves it!

Lily’s Bat Mitzvah
Space Odyssey, Englewood, New Jersey

We recently had the pleasure of celebrating Lily’s Bat Mitzvah with her and her family.  Enjoy the sneak peak!

We started the day at Lily’s home in Cresskill, where we snapped these portraits of the beautiful Bat Mitzvah girl on her cool spiral staircase.  Then we focused on some outdoor family portraits.

The day was very pink and orange!  Love the yarmulkes, inside and out - peace symbol & silver imprint.

The ceremony.  Lily surrounded by her family (Dad holding the Torah).

Now that’s a proud family!

The venue, Space Odyssey was a super arcade!  Check out the Space Bar during the cocktail hour!

The Sushi Lounge.

And of course the reception room!  The space was turned into Lily’s Lounge for a great kids party!  Arcade games, bowling, laser tag, dancing…

The Hora!

Congratulations Lily - so glad we could share your day with you!
