Geraldine Gabriel and Eric Tyler had a picture perfect spring wedding. To embody the essence of spring, the couple went for soft shades of blush and ivory. They worked with their wedding planner and designer, Prestige Affairs, to bring a sense of warmth and romance into their reception space. Sparkling crystal candelabras, ivory table linens and amber uplighting enhanced the luxurious feel of their amazing venue, which featured two grand staircases that led to a marvelous marble dance floor. As soon as the reception started, guests knew it was time to party. Geraldine shares, “I am Haitian and my husband is American. We both are also part of the Greek family. I am a Zeta and my husband is a Sigma. Our DJ incorporated Konpa (Haitian music) and had all of the Greeks dancing on the dance floor the whole night.” Monika Broz Photography beautifully captured the Tyler’s most special day.
