Central Pennsylvania’s First Wedding-Reality TV Show Begins Season 4!
Frank King Photography
Central Pennsylvania’s first reality TV show, Emmy nominated Dream Weddings, is airing its fourth season of spectacular weddings. What began as a dream for host Martine Cajas more than five years ago has turned into a source of dreams for brides all over Central Pennsylvania. This season, we will give away our second Dream Wedding!
Viewers will welcome the return of some favorite elements in the show: behind the scenes production meetings, design upgrades and of course… bloopers. Martine is getting so comfortable on camera that the production team sometimes fear that he’s going to become a one-take wonder…. then his Spanglish takes over and the whole production team is cracking up! Dream Weddings continues to evolve and will unveil some new surprises this season…but you’ll have to tune in to see for yourself! Check WGAL’s listings for exact times and dates. One thing that won’t change is our belief in the professionals who live and work in South Central Pennsylvania. Their work and creativity is what drives the premise of the show.

MUS I N G S
Summer is history. Through attending your fair share of weddings, you've garnered lots of ideas for your own upcoming wedding. Fall is a beautiful time to get married. In fact, you might say it's the new June. South Central Pennsylvania is gorgeous this time of year. The season really lends itself to the latest trend: barn weddings. I know what you're thinking. A barn! If that's your reaction, you probably have not seen the barn venues that are popping up all over the region. Yes, they are rustic, but on the other hand many seamlessly lend themselves to glamour and elegance. Here's where vendors such as lighting specialists, linen suppliers and floral designers become your new BFFs. They can transform such a space into anything you envision. As far as color goes, fall lends itself to jewel tones. This year, tones such as royal blue, deep purples and sangria are setting the tone in fashion. Gold embellishments are also very hot. Such trends will instantly be translated into bridal fashions.
In fact, it's already happening. Gold which ranges in tone from soft champagne to a burnished bronze - is the new color for bridal gowns. I like to think of it as the new black. This elegant color is the perfect choice for the months that lead up to the holidays. And, it lends itself to the looks that are shaping this season's retro-themed weddings: old Hollywood glamour for the ladies (think red lips and smoky eyes) and James Bond for the men (grooms are often the forgotten piece of the fashion puzzle). If you have your heart set on a white dress, gold can be used as an accessory (jewelry to shoes). The fashions seen in this issue verify that trend. And, you don't need to travel to Philly, New York or D.C. to see this latest color trend. All you need to do is venture to York, where John and Beth Smith, owners of Renaissance Bridal, are very much on trend. (In fact, brides from the aforementioned cities make their way to York for the latest in bridal fashions.) Gold is also impacting other aspects of a wedding. For example, at the House of Clarendon, we've been receiving an increasing number of requests for gold (or gold-embellished) cakes. Gold also lends itself to everything from linens to candles/ votives and china/ glassware. And, as you will see this season, mixing metals is very much in style. If you recently became engaged and are contemplating a Fall 2015 wedding, now is the time to explore your options. Fall dates book quickly. It's imperative to establish a date (ideally you should have one of two
optional dates) before you consult vendors. To help you manage your schedule and stay on track, we're introducing a new feature in the magazine: A Bride's Timeline and Checklist. Consult them often to verify that your to-do list is being managed in a timely manner. Fall brides also have another important calendar to consult: the football schedule. With so many people having season tickets for Penn State, you definitely don't want to have your wedding competing with a home game (maybe that explains why Friday evening weddings are growing in popularity!) Even if the game is on the road, don't be surprised if your guests disappear to get updates on the score. Football just might provide you with the perfect theme for the latest reception trend: a lounge. Include a wide-screen TV and football fans will think yours is the best wedding ever! See you in your dreams!

AMANDA and STEVEN York
June 14, 2014
Hometowns:
Amanda is from York; Steven is from Philadelphia. Both work as pharmacists in Philadelphia. Both were students at Temple University School of Pharmacy. Steven took Amanda to a romantic dinner at Bella Trattoria, an Italian restaurant on Main St. in Manayunk. They were spending the holidays with Amanda’s family. When it began to snow on Christmas Eve, Amanda decided to take their puppy outside to see snow for the first time. Steven took the opportunity to pop the question outside in front of the whole family. Classic, elegant and as formal as possible. Charcoal grey, pale yellow and white. The bride’s absolute favorite flowers: yellow roses! They also included white peonies and hydrangeas. Three-tiered red-velvet cake with Venetian butter-cream icing. They began the “official” first dance to Two is Better Than One by Boys Like Girls featuring Taylor Swift. They then surprised all their guests by turning it into a choreographed routine that included songs by DJ Kool, Sugar Hill Gang, Soulja Boy, and J Dash! Amanda’s favorite memory was walking down the aisle with her dad; "something she’d dreamed about her whole life". Steven’s favorite memory was seeing Amanda in her dress for the first time. The happy couple spent ten days in French Polynesia.

Hometowns: OCCUPATIONS:
Abbie is from Aspers; Lucas is from Easton. They both work as attorneys in Harrisburg. They met during law school. A restaurant in downtown Harrisburg. Lucas proposed in his apartment living room. Abbie spent the first few minutes trying to convince Lucas he could find someone better, but after she looked into his face and saw it was real she said yes! They wanted the theme to be all about family, friends, and their journeys. The theme's focus was on warmth, comfort, love, and relaxation. The couple wanted everything to feel authentic and include personal details in every element. Cream, gray, purple and gold. The floral theme was quirky and unique. Floral choices included Abbie's favorites: ra-
HOW THEY MET: FIRST DATE: HOW/WHERE HE PROPOSED:
nunculus as the focal point, with succulents and peonies. : The bride and groom’s favorite: carrot cake with icing only between the layers for a more rustic feel. They also included a dessert table featuring pumpkin, apple, pecan and lemon-meringue pies (pies are a huge tradion for Abbie's family). To complete their dessert extravaganza, they served a chocolate cake to ensure all guests found something sweet to enjoy. One Republic’s Burning Bridges (acoustic). Every single second of it! The happy couple enjoyed the love, the vows, the dancing, the quiet moments, and the time spent with family and friends. Abbie and Lucas have yet to take their honeymoon, but Lucas has promised a fantastic trip to Maine in the future.
