Real Weddings from LWPI Graduates: Nicole Brennan
Oct 18, 2010 Wedding Planning InstituteWeddings are a lot of fun, but they’re also a lot of work. Lovegevity’s Wedding Planning Institute is devoted to setting aspiring wedding and event planners on the right track, and Nicole Brennan of LovelyGirls Weddings in Wilmington, Del., is the perfect example.
According to her website, Nicole: “Once would have described herself as ‘retro modern chic’, but was most recently told she had a flair for the vintage! ‘I love bold colors, strong contrasts, and patterns. I always look for something different,’ says Nicole. ‘I am not afraid to blend different styles – modern can co-exist with vintage, traditional can mingle with elements that are more funky and off-beat.’ She lives by the rule that if your showing a lot of leg, then you might want to cover up the top! She feels that her events should have the same feel. Nicole attended the University of Delaware while majoring in Fashion Merchandising and just currently received her Wedding Planning Certification from the Wedding Planning Institute in the Spring of ‘09.”
In this new LWPI feature, Real Weddings from LWPI Graduates, we want to showcase some of the hard work - and absolutely breathtaking designs - of some of our graduates. We’re starting today with Nicole. All of these photos are courtesy of Laura Novak of Novak Photography. We’re super impressed with Nicole and LovelyGirls‘ work! Aren’t you?
Some of our favorite details from Kara and Marc’s wedding at Appleford have to be first, the color choices. Pink and green is such a classic yet always fresh combo for spring weddings. We know that engagement season is about to begin; many brides receive their diamonds during the holidays! And a lot of them will be planning spring weddings so Nicole’s details are great inspiration for you wedding planners who will be designing those upcoming spring weddings.
We also love the black and white touches, such as the damask on the invitations, votives, table numbers and wedding cake. The same pattern is also repeated in green with several details, tying everything together. What are you favorite details from this gorgeous wedding?

This is amazing! I could not have asked for better guidance through the LWPI and my mentor/teacher Marlo Green! I can’t wait to take the Preston Bailey event design course. Don’t forget to “Like” us on Facebook, and check out our blog at http://lovelygirlsweddings.blogspot.com!

I can’t agree more! This class has been more than I ever thought. I love how all the assignments are actually related to my business and bettering myself. I know that may seem silly but I finally feel like I’m making progress towards my goals, rather than taking classes that have nothing to do with what I want to do in my career! Thank You Wedding Planning Institute. I can’t wait to keep learning!

I absolutely loved your photos. It is so encouraging to see that a previous LWPI student has successfully put together such a beautiful work of art. Our class is currently in progress and I have learned a great deal from our mentor Carol Crist. Thank you for your article. Benita

Thanks for the sensible critique. Me and my neighbor were just preparing to do a little research on this. We got a grab a book from our area library but I think I learned more clear from this post. I’m very glad to see such fantastic information being shared freely out there.
