Hidden Venue Treasure: The Place on the Lake

Hi everyone! I am so sorry it's been so long since I blogged, since I've been writing for the store blog, One Couture Bride, I've been finding it harder to keep up with my daily posts but I'm definitely going to make more of an effort to post on this blog =D

Yesterday I represented Castle Couture at the Elegant Bridal Showcase. We were one of many vendors which included photographers, DJs, limos, florists, etc. It was like bridal heaven! But what I really wanted to talk about today was the place the showcase was held. The Place on the Lake is located in East Brunswick, NJ. It's pretty easy to get to if you're coming from the Turnpike or Rt. 18. I hadn't even heard of it until last night but when I walked in I was absolutely blown away by the natural beauty and breathtaking scenes that it offered.

I took a bunch of pictures on my phone but I don't even think these give it justice. The ceremony site is stunning, the couple say their vows on a platform overlooking the lake. Imagine a spring wedding, it would be unreal gorgeous! Below is a link to their Facebook page so you can get more information:

I didn't see too much of the inside but the ballroom we were in was beautiful! Great space and open windows which brings in amazing light. I would say it's definitely a hidden treasure in the Central Jersey area! I would love to have seen more of the inside because if it were to rain or thunder on your wedding day you couldn't use the amazing garden areas, so you have to love it all!

The ceremony site! Behind the platform is the lake which is so stunning!


Amazing water features throughout the entire property.

View from the deck where you can have cocktail hour.

CEREMONY SUNDAY: GROOM'S REACTIONS

Anyone who has ever seen 27 Dresses will appreciate this! Before of during the ceremony have your photographer take a picture of the groom the first time he sees the bride, it is such a magical and joyful moment filled with pure love!

Reception Decor: Unique Centerpieces

I love the idea of designing a centerpiece that is unique and different. This picture here is absolutely stunning and can definitely be done on a budget! These glasses can probably be found at AC Moore or a store like it and then a florist can help design a whimsical and magical creation!
