Summer Wedding at Bear Brook Valley | Carly & Eric

The picturesque Bear Brook Valley in Fredon Township, NJ was the perfect venue for Carly and Eric’s summer wedding. Every detail was a testament to their love and impeccable taste, from the morning preparations to the unforgettable reception.

Getting Ready

The morning of Carly and Eric’s wedding was filled with excitement and anticipation. Carly and her bridal party started their day in a charming suite at Bear Brook Valley, where laughter and happy tears filled the air.

We can’t get enough of Carly’s wedding day look—she dazzled in a stunning crepe gown with floral detailing. Crafting her organic, free-form bouquet was an absolute joy for our team.

The bridesmaids showcased their styles in fuchsia satin dresses—the perfect choice to add a pop of color for a summer wedding!

Eric and his groomsmen enjoyed the morning together in the groom’s lounge preparing for the big day. The groomsmen rocked black tuxedos—a timeless choice perfect for weddings any time throughout the year.

The First Look

Having a first look is like stealing a moment away just for yourselves before the whirlwind of the ceremony begins. It’s that quiet, romantic time where you can just be together, away from the chaos, and soak in the excitement of the day. Carly and Eric nailed it—they got to have this sweet, intimate time together, and it shows in the beautiful photos they captured. 

A first look also allows couples time to take photos with their bridal party before the ceremony. Check out some of the gorgeous shots Eric and Carly’s crew took!

The Ceremony

There’s nothing like an outdoor ceremony by the gorgeous lake at Bear Brook Valley. We adored working with the couple to decorate the outdoor ceremony space to enhance the space’s natural beauty. The fuschia flowers added a pop of color to the ceremony space! 

The Reception

Eric and Carly left no detail overlooked as they meticulously planned their wedding day, ensuring everything was perfect. They thoughtfully curated each element from the decorations to the music selection for a truly unforgettable celebration.

There are so many centerpiece possibilities for the farmhouse tables in the ballroom at Bear Brook Valley. Our team worked with the couple to create a mix of tall, lush centerpieces and garlands accented with candles that embraced simplicity and sophistication.

We love the trend of audio guestbooks. They capture heartfelt messages and well wishes from guests in a unique and memorable way, preserving the joyous atmosphere of the special day for years to come.

Our favorite part of the day to design was undoubtedly the arrangement for the sweetheart table. It was our chance to create a focal point that truly captured the essence of Carly and Eric’s love story.

Carly and Eric, we are so happy we were able to be a part of your special day! We wish you the best of luck and many years of happiness!
