Roshan & Ale – How Sweet It Is

Roshan and Ale have been one of the best couples I have worked with yet. Not only are they the nicest people, but they are so in love and have a general love of life. Both are always smiling and it is a joy to be around them. I was thrilled to hear her colors were fuchsia and bright orange which fits perfectly with their theme of ‘Love is Sweet’. Ale wanted a venue that was nothing less then amazing. We ended up at the Andrew Mellon Auditorium for their reception and the festive tones added to the celebration. To back up a bit, they were married at St. Stephen Martyr on Pennsylvania Ave which is a hidden gem of a church. All the ladies’ bouquets had some sweets incorporated in and the bright colors looked fabulous. For the main event, the bride walked down the aisle with her father as the Steele Drums played ‘Ave Maria’. Back at the reception, the guests dined on a mix of traditional Columbian and Trinidadian appetizers with an American dinner. Once dancing started, it didn’t stop. Guests took short breaks to sit in the lounge or grab another drink at the hot pink glowing bar.

Congratulations Roshan and Ale!!!

Thank you so much to Procopio Photography for these AMAZING photos !

With all of the beautiful lace gowns and bridesmaid dresses available now, I thought it would be neat to introduce a new jewelry designer Sarah Richardson.

Trained as a metalsmith, Sarah has turned her family’s 300-year tradition of creating lace into a trade all her own. She dips the vintage lace into silver, gold and other precious metals. The above earrings for $160 would be gorgeous for a bride and something like the earrings below would an exquisite gift for bridesmaids or moms…

And she has the goods for the guys as well!
