I’m so excited to share the professional photos from Yolanda & 'Arel’s fabulous winter wedding! Thank you Mabyn Ludke, photographer extraordinaire, for the use of your lovely shots.
Yolanda was big on DIY as much as possible…. and I filled in the blanks with my favorite CNY wedding vendors. The combination of her creativity and my local wedding connections helped put together the vision she had been dreaming of.
Yolanda wanted something unique for the bouquets. And, in keeping with her healthy lifestyle, she decided that vegetable bouquets were in order. Heather (formerly of Floral Tributes, now operating independently) my tried and true go-to in the CNY area, hit it out the park. I had never heard of veggie bouquets before (and neither had Heather) but just LOOK at the masterpiece she created.

The creative and personal touches were everywhere you looked. Check out this gorgeous shot below right before Yolanda walked down the aisle. The rose petals! The floor vases filled with candles and sand! The up lighting behind the Chuppah! The pure white spandex chair covers! All the tiny details were big decisions we made before the event and contributed to creating a picture that looked like this:

| Gorgeous details...groom included! |

| Pure. Joy. |

| Notice the "LOVE" pin on the Yarmulka? Each guest received one for the ceremony. |
 |
| Cozy winter decor: mason jars, moss, and candle light on every surface area. |
 |
| DIY Reception Centerpieces: Burlap & plum table runners, mason jars, birch bark vases, & real cotton! |

The delicious dessert bar ( decorated with even more mason jars and candles! ) featured a cupcake tier centerpiece, topped by a Jamaican black cake as a nod to 'Arel's heritage

You really didn't expect a traditional first dance from these two did you? Their romantic slow dance erupted into a choreographed ( complete with costume change ) Mario vs. Wario showdown.
Mario wins!
I had such a fun time working with Yolanda and 'Arel and couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. If you have any questions on what vendors they used or any of the details please don't hesitate to get in touch with us via email by clicking here or check out our website here.
